Based out of Peoria, Illinois, OSF HealthCare provides health care and education to communities throughout Illinois and Michigan.
Our Mission Partners strive every day to be an extension of the Ministry of The Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis. In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest care and love in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
Since its founding in 1877, OSF HealthCare has grown under the management of the Sisters to include more than a dozen hospitals, a children’s hospital, a network of hundreds of local physicians known as OSF Medical Group, home health care services and two colleges of nursing.
I think there is a type of Duodenol Switch with lower operative risk than is indicated here... SADI-S. I don't know if it affects any of these other factors, but if you are looking into Bariatric Surgery you might want to get more information on the SADI-S in particular. I think it has become more popular over time.
I nursed a total of 7 years with my 3 girls. It was horrifying in the beginning and I wasn’t prepared psychologically to know how painful it is for 98% of mother’s. It was beyond exhausting at times. My kid’s are off the charts intelligent and none of them had a cold/flu, ear infection or any illness for the for 5 years of their lives. We have a profound bond and I would absolutely do it all over again.
In 1998 I went to the ER with an undiagnosed CD. They decided it was a migraine and shot me up with immitrex. I stroked out within 15 seconds. But, learned to speak and spell again, and after 15 years my ICA opened up again.
CAUTION: "Exercise snacks" are an amazing idea, but one thing to leave out is the radiofrequency radiation (RF) spewing device to measure heart rate, e. g., the "smart" watch. The National Toxicology Program says that RF can cause brain and heart tumors, and the World Health Organization says that RF is a Class 2B carcinogen, the same as asbestos and lead paint! And we know what happened with those. So, yes to "exercise snacks" and "NO" to getting cancer.
You say wait until breastfeeding is going well before you introduce a bottle, that also doesn't make sense for the woman who is struggling with breastfeeding and needs to introduce a bottle. All of these militant rules are what end up causing harm to women who struggle with breastfeeding challenges. I urge you to think about your messaging, your language, and your assertion that breastfed babies are always healthier.
It's bad, cuz it gets them used to it I'm not an expert, but if you don't realize just how essential passing on your antibodies as well as essential nutrients to your baby through breastfeeding, I suggest you find good science, rather than paid science Also go touch some grass
@@zyf365 Well, I AM an expert and I know for a fact that introducing a bottle correctly does not compromise breastfeeding. As to antibodies and immunities, plenty of formula fed babies get by without that and are exceptionally healthy. You cannot attribute all good health to breast milk.
@@melissabrock4114 Certified breastfeeding counselor, doula, childbirth educator, over 800 clients - all the breastfeeding ones introduced a bottle earlier than recommended and none of them had issues with so-called "nipple confusion." I have a different RU-vid account called Mamarama - from which I should have commented.
Surely you know that formula fed babies can be just as healthy or healthier than breastfed babies. How are you gauging that anyway? Long-term health, resistance to illness in daycare? That's an irresponsible thing to say in my opinion.
@@melissabrock4114 So go look at the studies. They reliably show that breastfed babies have slightly less diarrhea and ear infections - but only slightly.
It’s far more serious than that. For infants, not being breastfed is associated with an increased incidence of infectious morbidity, as well as elevated risks of childhood obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, leukemia, and sudden infant death syndrome. For mothers, failure to breastfeed is associated with an increased incidence of premenopausal breast cancer, ovarian cancer, retained gestational weight gain, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, and the metabolic syndrome. Children and women are sicker than ever today and our foundations are key to health and success.
I wish people would clarify that getting one bottle in a 24-hour period is unlikely to have a negative impact on breastfeeding. When you tell new mothers 4 to 5 weeks you're basically signing them up for a month of sleep deprivation. This is known to contribute to postpartum depression and/or anxiety.
@OSF HealthCare-- i need help! you talk about Innovation, god will NOT forgive anyone who turns a blind eye to my suffering, and so far osf has been dismissive! docs.google.com/document/d/1mfqVWDZ4cwDbW7c_mVp8eESqy0ebK-7COlYMeb0DNzY/edit?usp=sharing
really just called scheduled a apt a month away.......without reading anything or actually accepting I have issues your doc did not deal with.....you leave me no hope
Such a fantastic look at the evolution of care for infants and development of OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois. Kudos to Shelli Dankoff for her knowledge as someone who has experienced a good part of the advancements in care and major stories of remarkable expertise that saved the lives of so many precious babies.
I’m living proof that a Carnivorous Diet is the way to go. I’ve gone from exceedingly ill under my doctor’s guidance and once I realised they did not have my best interest at heart… (they all work for Big Pharma) I took matters into my own hands. I only eat animal products and have never been so well 😁👍🙏
Researched for decades? Really? That includes research that were flawed and that fired whistleblowers who pointed out that mRNA clinical trials were flawed?
Two weeks left of my seizure medicine and Crystal Kappes at OSF Illinois Neurological Institute (OSF INI) refusing to call my refills in so I can have the medication I need!
I know it's been months since this comment, but I just wanted to let you know that is totally normal their tummies are very small during this time and can only hold a very little amount of breast milk or formula which they digest very rapidly due to growing at a rapid rate. - Savannah Nutritionist counselor for WIC
The nutritionist should be fired. Cancer feeds off sugar. Anyone having cancer needs to stay away from Processed carbs such as BREAD, CRACKERS, Chicken noodle soup. You kidding me? Organic Fruit smoothies, GMO free foods with no added sugar. Carbs cause inflammation. Carbs are sugar.... Cancer cannot feed on ketones. Allow your body to heal itself.
It would make sense since it both reduces stomach size and intestine length, but one massive benefit from at least some other options is that it retains the pylorus valve, which is a vale between the stomach and the small intestine. I think this valve is completely removed in gastric bypass. -not a doctor, just an opinion from someone considering and researching the procedure
How about letting people take pics of their favorite doctors without saying they are not authorized to take one. Maybe I should be one so people can't take pics of me.
"A return to normalcy is typical, but it takes a while - usually six months or so. All who have done chemo do finally get back to normal." WRONG!.. I'm 4 years past breast cancer treatment with AC chemo and Taxol, and I'm nowhere near back to Normal! I still have such bad neuropathy in my hands and feet that I to have to take pain medicine to sleep. I can't walk far without making pain worse and can't walk barefooted on a hard floor at all. The "Chemo Brain" fog bothers me every day and is like having a constant concussion with short term memory loss. I have to live with lists and alarms and notes for reminders. I was the Energizer Bunny before Chemo, and now I have a severe loss of stamina and struggle to get through the day, even to walk up the steps to my house. I stay on a healthy diet and take 4 exercise classes a week, so it isn't that I'm not doing my part. My vision and hearing are MUCH worse, and now I have tinnitus. My hands shake, and my handwriting is illegible. My neighbor, 10 years past breast cancer treatment, is also still having some similar symptoms that never went away. Our hair did all grow back. I'm very grateful to be alive and cancerfree and would go through the treatment again if I had to, but DON'T TELL CHEMO PATIENTS THAT THEY WILL ALL RETURN TO "NORMAL." That's an absolute lie!!!
