Open the window

Open the window. In the hospital. Researchers say that is the best way to combat air born germs in hospitals. Besides it is cheaper. Good research boys and girls. They were looking at TB mostly, now I wonder why some of the more famous TB sanitariums with the best results in the past were located out away from the cities and out in the fresh air? Science vrs human experience again. They are even coming around to testing maggots vrs antibiotics for some things too. We still have McFadden’s books that say one should sleep if not outside, at least with the window wide open.
Millions worldwide use antioxidant supplements such as vitamins A and E, and beta-carotene. Looking at dozens of previous studies, Copenhagen University researchers suggested these appeared to raise, not lower, the risk of early death.
However, Dr Ann Walker, of the Health Supplements Information Service, said the findings of the study were "worthless".
Nutritionists said it reinforced the need to eat a balanced diet, rather than relying on supplements. While vitamin supplements have been popular for decades, the precise benefits they offer - if any - remain uncertain, despite hundreds of research projects.
Dr Frankie Phillips, a nutritionist at the British Dietetic Association, said food contained a complex matrix of different components which could not be replicated by supplements.
"Our advice is to eat a wide range of foods in a balanced diet which can provide all of the nutrients the body needs to protect itself and combat diseases."

Well, well, well, so God knew what He was doing after all !
