Subscribe for free to Dr. Greger's videos at: http://bit.ly/nutritionfactsupdates DESCRIPTION: Pediatric CAT scans are estimated to cause hundreds of cancer deaths every year. As I explain in my full-length live presentation on preventing, arresting, and reversing the 15 top killers (Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), adverse drug reactions from prescription drugs are estimated to cause more than 100,000 deaths in the United States every year, making doctors the sixth leading cause of death. And that's not counting other "iatrogenic" (physician-caused) harm, such as medication errors or infections acquired in hospitals. My profession needs to do a better job of offering fully informed consent, clearly and comprehensively explaining the risks and benefits of each alternate course of action. The risk associated with the thallium heart scans was shocking to me. By eating healthy, we may not only eliminate the death and disability associated with heart disease and its treatment (such as open heart surgery), but the risks associated with heart disease diagnosis as well. See: • Our Number One Killer Can Be Stopped (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/our-number-one-killer-can-be-stopped/) • China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/) • Eliminating the #1 Cause of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eliminating-the-1-cause-of-death/) • Heart Attacks and Cholesterol: Purely a Question of Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-attacks-and-cholesterol-purely-a-question-of-diet/) • The Tomato Effect (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect/) What was that about radioactive polonium in seafood? See my last video, Fukushima and Radioactivity in Seafood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fukushima-and-radioactivity-in-seafood/). What about cell phone radiation? See Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-cell-phones-cause-cancer/) And what about getting X-rays at the dentist? All in my next video, Do Dental X-Rays Cause Brain Tumors? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-dental-x-rays-cause-brain-tumors). Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-risk-from-ct-scan-radiation/ and he'll try to answer it!

We are delighted to have had the chance to sit down and speak with David Sheff, author, investigative journalist and father of Nic, a young man who is now committed to recovery. Author of New York Times best-selling memoir "Beautiful Boy," Sheff has engaged millions of Americans in an ongoing conversation about the trials of addiction and the role of parents in prevention. His newest book, "Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America's Greatest Tragedy," takes a more scientific approach, discussing drug abuse and treatment. In this video, Sheff uses his personal experiences and the knowledge he has gained from his work in investigative journalism to advocate early intervention. "If you think something's wrong, something's wrong," he says. "Don't wait."

Facts of my death, This is drjhaney. I hope you noticed the title of this message. It is one that I have been working on over the last couple of days in an effort to tell you about my death of a heart attack on January 15, 2013, in the examination of the admission room at Summit Hospital in Hermitage, Tennessee, in the emergency room. It was on this date that I took my wife and granddaughter, Alana to have a muscle strain examined that my wife had been struggling with over the last couple of weeks. While she was being examined in the admission room, I took a seat at the end of her bed, and laid back to rest my eyes, and had a heart attack, witnessed by my wife, granddaughter and medical personell from the emergency room. During the course of this excitment, i was dead for approxiomately 8-10 minutes, having lost my counsciousness, my pulse and my heart beat. After vigerous efforts on the part of the medical staff, the wailing and pleading of my wife and grand daughter for my life (joined by all of the other medical personall who had gathered in the hallway because of all of the noise and crying, I regained my counsciousness, pulse and heart beat and came back to life. In short, I died for approximately 8-10 minutes, and came back to life. This is the essence of the story that can be easily varified. I want you to know about this story because much information has been posted on the various social media websites about my sickness and death. I am still alive. I am still uploading videos to the social media sites and this message will be a part of those uploads in the future. My address is http://www.tnstate.edu/write/student/.... I want you to go there and click on the videos link and go to my channels on www.youtube.com, www.twitter.com, www.facebook.com, www.drmdk.com, www.icyou.com, and www.myspace.com. I will talk with you later; have to get ready for church now, drjhaney/n

Before Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, he first had to win the so-called "Carville primary" in 1991. The reward for winning this behind-the-scenes contest was the services of the hottest political consultant at the time, James Carville. "The equivalent this time might be the Teddy Goff primary," writes Al Hunt on Bloomberg, "to earn the assistance of the digital wunderkind who directed social media for the Obama campaign." Goff's online exploits are legendary. In 2012, he raised over $500 million, registered more than a million voters, built a Facebook page with 45 million fans and a Twitter following of 33 million. Shall we go on? Over 100 million video views, signing up hundreds of thousands of volunteers online - it's fair to say Goff is in the right business. Or is he? Of course, Goff's man was re-elected, partly on the strength of the most impressive online fundraising, organizing and communications campaign in the history of politics. And yet, the strategy that Goff devised, and the tools he used to implement it, is broadly transferable. For instance, how do you get a million and a half people to read a blog post on tax policy? That seems like a tall order. How can tax policy compete with LOL cat videos? As Goff tells Big Think, you are dealing with consumers "who can click away as soon as they don't like what they're seeing." So Goff and his team relied on a simple mantra: don't be lame. Not being lame is easier said than done, especially when you're dealing with a subject that is potentially very dull. However, a little bit of fun can go a long way. A talented digital strategist like Goff sees the Internet not as a marketing challenge, but an opportunity. A traditional campaign might have drafted a white paper or quoted a number of economists who were critical of Romney's plan. And that might have fit very well in a newspaper ad. But Goff had other ideas. In the video, Goff tells Big Think how he developed a faux-Romney campaign website that promised potential voters details on the Romney tax plan. However, when you attempted to click a button labeled "GET THE DETAILS," the button moved out of the way of your cursor, as if to dodge the question. After eight seconds of frustration you were finally redirected to a DNC blog post that eviscerated Romney's tax plan. As it turns out, people loved it. Goff's meme garnered over 1.5 million Facebook likes within a day. "It was content that just simply couldn't have existed before the Internet," he says. Transcript-- I was the Digital Director for President Obama's 2012 campaign. For us and different companies structure digital and technology and all those fields a little differently. For us, digital meant everything user facing, everything that you could actually touch and read and watch and play with online. So we didn't do the back end infrastructure and most of the coding, but we did -- we had all the writers, the designers, video folks, people doing content and creative strategy. When it came to communication, I mean, we had a sort of a three word strategy that was really quite simple which is don't be lame. And it's funny, you know, when you talk to corporate marketers, when you talk to people who have been doing PR for a long time, they will themselves acknowledge not being lame has never really been their M.O. because they're sort of well versed in risk mitigation. They're well versed in how not to annoy stakeholders or create problems. But they've never had to actually deal with consumers who can click away as soon as they don't like what they're seeing. And making sure that what they're serving those consumers with is something that they like. Obviously that content has to have a purpose. It has to have a message but the consumer doesn't even get to the point of absorbing the message if first and foremost they think, "Well, this is dull." And so the most important thing we try to do when it came to communication was just be interesting. I think a great example is -- it came from around, let's see it would have been October of 2012. So toward the very end of the campaign. At that point we were arguing over tax policy a lot and our argument was that Governor Romney's tax plan didn't add up. It was, from our point of view, a giveaway to millionaires and billionaires, it wasn't paid for and he never really explained how it wouldn't explode the deficit. And so we wanted to get at that but we didn't want to do just a policy white paper or a statement from an economist or something of that nature.'
