Directives

55. Catholic health care institutions offering care to persons in danger of death from illness, accident, advanced age, or similar condition should provide them with appropriate opportunities to prepare for death. Persons in danger of death should be provided with whatever information is necessary to help them understand their condition and have the opportunity to discuss their condition with their family members and care providers. They should also be offered the appropriate medical information that would make it possible to address the morally legitimate choices available to them. They should be provided the spiritual support as well as the opportunity to receive the sacraments in order to prepare well for death.

56. A person has a moral obligation to use ordinary or proportionate means of preserving his or her life. Proportionate means are those that in the judgment of the patient offer a reasonable hope of benefit and do not entail an excessive burden or impose excessive expense on the family or the community.40

57. A person may forgo extraordinary or disproportionate means of preserving life. Disproportionate means are those that in the patient’s judgment do not offer a reasonable hope of benefit or entail an excessive burden, or impose excessive expense on the family or the community.41

58. There should be a presumption in favor of providing nutrition and hydration to all patients, including patients who require medically assisted nutrition and hydration, as long as this is of sufficient benefit to outweigh the burdens involved to the patient.

59. The free and informed judgment made by a competent adult patient concerning the use or withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures should always be respected and normally complied with, unless it is contrary to Catholic moral teaching.

60. Euthanasia is an action or omission that of itself or by intention causes death in order to alleviate suffering. Catholic health care institutions may never condone or participate in euthanasia or assisted suicide in any way. Dying patients who request euthanasia should receive loving care, psychological and spiritual support, and appropriate remedies for pain and other symptoms so that they can live with dignity until the time of natural death.42

61. Patients should be kept as free of pain as possible so that they may die comfortably and with dignity, and in the place where they wish to die. Since a person has the right to prepare for his or her death while fully conscious, he or she should not be deprived of consciousness without a compelling reason. Medicines capable of alleviating or suppressing pain may be given to a dying person, even if this therapy may indirectly shorten the person’s life so long as the intent is not to hasten death. Patients experiencing suffering that cannot be alleviated should be helped to appreciate the Christian understanding of redemptive suffering.

62. The determination of death should be made by the physician or competent medical authority in accordance with responsible and commonly accepted scientific criteria.

63. Catholic health care institutions should encourage and provide the means whereby those who wish to do so may arrange for the donation of their organs and bodily tissue, for ethically legitimate purposes, so that they may be used for donation and research after death.

64. Such organs should not be removed until it has been medically determined that the patient has died. In order to prevent any conflict of interest, the physician who determines death should not be a member of the transplant team.

65. use of tissue or organs from an infant may be permitted after death has been determined and with the informed consent of the parents or guardians.

66. Catholic health care institutions should not make use of human tissue obtained by direct abortions even for research and therapeutic purposes

I think it’s just too long of a question/answer for people to really have the time or desire to tackle it.

One thing that could help you is if you remove the ones that are more obvious and you do understand, and also break them down into many questions. Maybe only include one or two, but at most three of the directives in each question.

Some of these seem almost silly, and things the medical community has already established (so no need for a directive). LIke #62 – that is the law. #63 – Any hospital receiving federal money is mandated by law to offer the option of organ donation to families. # 64 – That is the law, on both counts. # 65 That is standard practice at all hospitals. # 66 – Abortions generally happen at clinics, and they don’t have tissue banks or sell to tissue banks. No transplant center would use tissue from an aborted fetus because it simply is not an option. It would be like the directives saying: No circus clown may perform open heart surgery with their elephants in the room.

I quit smoking with the help of a drug called Chantix and that caused me to really get sick. I ended up on 11 different medications to combat the side effects of each pill prescribed. I got so fed up that I threw out all medication except for hormone pills(which I intend to throw out eventually as well), and I turned to supplements in order to restore my health.
Believe it or not, I got so much better that I wished I could tell more people about this. I breathe better, I sleep better, I got rid of athritis pain, I got rid of an eczema, I got rid of bowel problems and I got rid of a kidney problem—all of that by taking a supplement.
Why are so many people afraid to use natural medicine instead of prescription drugs? I heard a report on tv this morning that ALL diseases are caused by a deficiency in nutrition and I also found out that a lot of nutrition needfed for the body to heal itself is not consumed in the western world. A friend of mine did combat diabetes naturally!!

I would suggest you go to a good reputable Homeopath, nothing cures you better then Homeopathy. Or post your symptoms here in detail, exactly the way you feel them. Remember Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease or disorder.

Take Care and God Bless You.

Cereal is considered a health food by many due to its high vitamin and mineral content. But as we all know, those vitamins and minerals are synthetic and have been ADDED to the cereal. So why don’t those healthy grains (I’m talking about some good whole-grain cereal) have NATURALLY occurring vitamins and minerals? Why must they be added? I thought that whole grains are naturally high in B vitamins, but it is not reflected in the nutrition facts label in those cereals that haven’t been fortified (like Nature’s Path cereals). Can anyone explain this?
Whole-grain cereals contain:

The Bran—most important for its B vitamins and fiber, but also adds "body", texture, and even some flavor.

The Germ — prized for its minerals, B vitamins, protein, vitamin E, and oils. The oils found in the germ are a key element in whole grain flour’s flavor.

and very little of the Endosperm — consists mostly of starch, with some protein and other nutrients.

So where did the B vitamins go?

Because the grains are refined. Plus in America we have ruined our soil with too many chemicals, so the grains themselves don’t hold as many vitamins as they once did. Anything refined is bad. Try to eat whole foods.

With more and more research being done on the effect of nutrition on overall health and longevity, increased attention has been given to the importance of planning healthy meals at home. Research has shown that optimum nutrition is achieved through the eating of a variety of natural foods that are packed with vitamins and minerals.

In an effort to reach optimum nutrition it is important to make a commitment to focusing on particular food groups. Experts agree that color is the key when filling up your plate with food. Fresh fruits and vegetables – part of optimum nutrition – come in all shades of beautiful colors; the deep orange of a blood orange, the red of an apple or strawberry, the intense blue of a blueberry. Fresh vegetables are best served green; green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and broccoli.

When it comes to carbohydrates, color is still vital to achieving optimum nutrition. Sweet potatoes are more nutritious than white potatoes; wheat pasta is a better choice than white pasta; brown rice beats white rice, and dark whole grain bread is far better than processed white bread.

The combination of these healthy choices along with lean proteins, low-fat dairy products, and at least eight glasses of water a day will go a long way to achieving optimum nutrition. Of course, part of this commitment is the minimizing – if not altogether elimination – of foods that are fried, processed, and contain high levels of sugar, salt, and saturated fat.

Ultimately, if you are you going about achieving optimum nutrition the right way, your plate should reflect a variety of beautiful colors; foods that hold an enormous amount of vitamins and minerals. Make a game out of if by choosing foods that are a part of this nutritious rainbow. The most important thing is to implement this lifestyle within the home, giving your family the tools it needs to stay healthy for a lifetime. Work as a team to find new and exciting recipes that showcase seasonal foods and pack nutrition and taste into every bite.

Optimum nutrition is within all of our grasps; it starts with a commitment to a lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle that makes the most of the natural food products available to us and, ultimately, it is a lifestyle that can greatly benefit you and your family – giving you long years of health.
