Why We Should Drug Test Doctors and Nurses @DoctorSaputo

In November of 2014 voters in California voted against making it mandatory for doctors to undergo drug testing. None of us want to believe that our MD might be drinking too much or taking drugs, but then none of us would want a doctor who was drinking or taking drugs! There is a lot of data showing that doctors and nurses are especially vulnerable to these problems. In fact, it might surprise you to know that 11% of medical students contemplate suicide!

What's going on? Is this because of personal problems, pressure from training, peer pressure, or from a dysfunctional family life. It could be any of these factors!

$Vitamin D3 Protects Against Viruses, Cancer, and Autoimmunity A report in the journal, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, showed that levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml led to a higher incidence of viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. This, of course, suggests that supplementing with vitamin D3 could help prevent or treat these conditions. Low levels of vitamin D3 lead to higher production of antibodies (the Th 2 immune system), but lower levels of cell mediated immunity (the Th 1 immune system) that we need to fight viral infections, certain cancers, and autoimmune diseases. With the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, it is especially important that we replace people who are ill, especially in our hospitals, with vitamin D3 supplementation. Levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml leads to a higher risk of fractures, heart attacks, cancer, and all cause mortality, especially in the elderly. For more information, visit http://doctorsaputo.com$
