- Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are leading causes of injury and avoidable harm worldwide and are highest in vulnerable groups. In 2017, the World Health Organization launched the third Medication Without Harm Global Patient Safety Challenge to try to reduce risks related to medical treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is in the unique position that, although licensed products are available from manufacturers, formulas may be prepared ad hoc for first-line use that might not be subject to the same regulatory oversight. Safety issues around PN can arise through lack of harmonization in practices, misinterpretation and product unfamiliarity and can occur at any stage from prescription to preparation to administration. Government legislation and regulation vary considerably, with PN not explicitly handled in many countries. We therefore call on policy leaders in all countries to establish policies that ensure patient safety, and that these include PN along with medicines. The available evidence supports obtaining industry prepared PN as first-line therapy for reasons of safety, primarily, and of cost. If a suitable industry prepared ready-to-use PN is not available, standardized all-in-one PN admixtures should be the next line of care, with individualized PN being reserved for patients whose complex nutritional needs cannot be met using standardized admixtures.

- Scientific studyAcid Rain attacked South West Sweden 1960–1990, making well water acid, causing Cu dissolution from pipes, disturbing intestines. In a scientific study Ca was 6 times higher in alkaline well waters and hair. Women drinking acid water were unhealthy.Case studiesCase studies: 1 (woman): Scleroderma had caused shortened finger tips, and loss of hair. Urinary pH was 5. Hair analysis showed severe mineral imbalances. After 1.5 years of treatment with supplements and increasing urinary pH with NaHCO3, symptoms disappeared. 2 (woman): Fibromyalgia, cataract, constipation and basal carcinoma was treated by increasing urinary pH with limestone, and supplements. 3 (man). Fe in drinking water, 3.4 mg/L, had caused intestinal disturbances and subsequent symptoms. Fe was elevated in hair. Aloe vera juice, lactic bacteria and digestive enzymes healed his intestines. Mg, antagonist to Fe, decreased severity of Fe overload. Drinking water guideline of 0.2 mg Fe/L is suggested.
