Your body is YOUR most important TOOL in life.

• Google, a new medication that you are provided by typing the name of the medication then use the word "LAWSUIT."  Legal professionals wont consider taking on a Big-Pharma company unless there was a % of certainty, and mostly after several people harmed by same medication over a period of time.   

• Some medications have legal issues discovered before a lawsuit is filed.  After discovered the Pharma company will change (maybe) one ingredient and re-package the drug under another name.   Do your research.

• When taking a drug for a long-time than have your kidney functions tested.   As I've aged, more and more, people who are taking a drug for several years are stating the drug caused their Kidney failure.  

• When taking a drug for a long-time than (periodically) Google the drug name + LAWSUIT.  All to ensure that overtime the drug is safe.  It takes years to gather the evidence of, bad drugs. 

•  One of my guy buddy family was wealthy.  They sold their chain of Pharmacies.   He said, "A drug fixes ONE thing and breaks FIVE others." 

• Try the lowest ML potency of a drug first.  Look up the lowest potency of the drug.  A Doctor said I needed, "140 ML of a heart medication."  However, I requested the lowest dosage at 120ML, and it worked.  Why would I take a higher dosage, because that could cause more harm? Should start with the lowest dosage and work your way up.  

• The same dosage of a drug provided to a 300lb man should (maybe) not be giving to a 150lb women/man.  

• When I have a headache (which I rarely get) than I only need (1) Tylenol.   Why take (2) Tylenol when ONE works?  I wait about 1/2 hour to ensure the (1) works, it always does.  Maybe the drug company recommends (2) to boost their profits?

• I took a medication when in my early 30's that (at the time) was a BRAND NAME medication NOT a "GENERIC' medication.  Later the NAME BRAND form of the medication was NOT available in the BIG-NAME CORP pharmacies.  The Big Pharmacies only had the GENERIC FORM on the shelves.  Thereafter, the Doctor prescribed the GENERIC form drug while stating it was the SAME as the BRAND NAME.  After I endured adverse effects that kept me awake I went to a PRIVATE Pharmacy in an wealthy area that had a Sr. Level Pharmacist who  stated "GENERIC DRUGS are NOT the identical same as BRAND-NAME Drugs."  Generic drugs have a different coating and lesser quality ingredients including different manufacturing and that is why GENERIC DRUGS are less expensive for INSURANCE REASONS.  Big Pharmacies forced to stock THE GENRIC"   I ended up ordering the BRAND NAME DRUG from the small Pharmacy, and would take about a week to come in.  I paid in cash.  Interesting was, it didn't costs much more at about $35.00.  

• Retin-A for the Face;  A Doctor recently provided the Generic form because it's cheaper.  I noticed after 30 days it was not effective (at all) compared to the Name-Brand I prior used.  I retuned to the Pharmacy requesting for the Name-Brand, and it worked.

• Learn the BASICs regarding your medications.  People eat Organic Healthy Foods and watch their weight.  However, are placing a drug in their body for years without any BASIC knowledges.

• A Doctor stated I needed a BLOOD THINNER for my A-FIB.   I take a Baby Aspirin at night.   I was out one evening having champagne at a fine restaurant piano bar and someone knocked my champagne glass off the piano.  It hit the very top of my toe.  I was bleeding all over the place from a small cut on the top of my big toe.  A Doctor came over and said "your bleeding a lot, do you take blood thinners?" I said, "NO." Additionally, when I had an MRI scan at the hospital and provided the contrast via an IV the Nurse said, "do you take blood thinners, your bleeding a lot?"  I drink massive water and appears the Aspirin thins my blood enough.  Google "Lawsuits and the name of the blood thinner."  

• A friend in the old days had (2) BA's in Pharma.  She was Head of a major medical college POISEN CENTER.   While at the movies my friend would carry a BIG PHONE so the EMERGENCY ROOM Doctors could contact her for medication recommendations.  My friends and I, were to meet for Happy Hour.  I called my friend and said "I couldn't go, I was up all night, my eyes were dilated, I took only ONE Sudafed the night before."  She said, "tell doctors you have a child's system to medication and adverse effects to medication."  Doctors would NOT listen until the last few years, and although pharmacists DID confirm.  

• EVERYONE's BODY CHEMISTRY IS DIFFERENT.  Why I believe a Vaccine harms some people and not others.  How do the Scientists know if a small child won't react because there has been no, trial and error, on that child's body chemistry?  Additionally, advised your body chemistry can change over time and develop more allergic reactions.  That is why, I believe GOV had to Vaccinate gazillions of global humans and animals as guinea pigs and to experiment on massive human body chemistries, global races, and ages.  

• It's your body it's your responsibility. Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life.  The Doctor still goes home to his back-yard BBQ's and enjoys life.  To legally sue someone in the medical industry takes a lot of money with paying experts.  Most Attorneys won't take a case unless a "catastrophic injury" or a "class action."  Finding an Attorney is an entirely other STRESSFULL and TIME consuming task.  Simply be; PROACTIVE & STREET-SMART.  

• "CBC" is the basic Blood Tests for;  Kidney, White, Red, Platelets.  Don't be intimidated to personally obtain your Blood Test results and review the report yourself.  The report clearly shows when your blood counts are, high and low.  It's easy to read and understand.  Then, Google the terminology.  It's truly fascinating to educate and easier than most may think to understand. 

• Appears some Doctors won't advise or refer you to an Oncologist until the CBC Blood Counts drop below a certain level.  By then it can be too late.  However, although NOT Cancerous levels (as yet) there could be other health issues lowering your CBC Blood Counts below the lowest IN-RANGE levels.  If that is the case, the Doctors can perform further blood tests THAT may find the true reason for the abnormal Blood Test Results (even if not at Cancerous levels yet).  Some Doctors WILL 'NOT' advise patients unless your CBC blood counts are down to Cancerous levels. This happened to a few people I know.  Unfortunately, not performing further Blood Test than may cause another disease to escalate.  

• After Blood Labs are performed than always follow-up with your Doctor by making an APPOINTMENT to discuss in person.  Therefore, the Doctor is PAID TO DISCUSS YOUR LAB RESULTS with you.  Doctors run a business and prefer to get paid for their TIME to discus results.  

• Obtain your own Labs and place in a folder.  Than you know the normal ranges for YOUR own body.  

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life.  

• There is a certain Insurance Company where you are required to only utilize their specific hospital and only their Doctors, under Managed Care.  There is NOT one time that I spoke with people who had that HMO with Contracted Doctors, whom when became very sick the treatment caused additional issues.  Many who beat Cancer and the Cancer returned more aggressive, then died.  However, with a PPO than can immediately change Facilities and Doctors.  

• Wealthy have mentioned they have CASH tucked away for when Insurance companies won't pay for treatments.  They can go anywhere in the world. 

• I've watched YouTube Videos from Doctors all over the world who discuss various health issues and have solved them.  Primarily the Doctors associated with global prominent hospitals. 

• HOLISTIC DOCTORs normally don't take Insurance.  Many will spend much  TIME talking with you while performing additional Blood Tests that regular Doctors may not provide.   I believe it's good to find a Holistic Doctor that you like and show them your  CBC Blood Tests too.  They normally speak-up and will perform additional extensive blood work that might find another deficiency that can be fixed. 

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• During dinner with a Doctor I was dating he mentioned that his good friend wife had a Stroke at 50 years old.  Then he said, "she took The PILL for 20 years."  

• Many of the wealthier women have mentioned having their tubes tied and/or their husbands getting "the snip."   I heard that both can be reversed.  Seems healthier. 

• Do you think that a prescription which forces your blood to, clot and un-clot (monthly), could be damaging your normal cycle including your organs and brain chemistry? While eventually, overtime, cause mental issues which then women need Antidepressants? Could it caused infantility?  Along with the noted higher risk of breast Cancer ? Could that FORCEDD CLOTTING make your hair and nails thinner? Personally, I didn't take THE PILL.  At my age women ask what I did to keep my thicker hair and more younger skin.  They believe I'm about 10+ years younger.  

• Google the long-term effects of Contraceptives.

• Google the Contraceptive name + Lawsuit.  At the least, every few months, during the times your taking a medication then check should warnings have transpired.  

• Normally, legal actions as such are CLASS ACTION.

• Seems like a good way to ensure drug companies are kept in line = KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• Doesn't seem like a health issue can be properly diagnosed until shows on a scan?  

• Honestly, each time "I" had to request a scan from the Doctor.  Maybe because the Doctors staff requires time to schedule?  I have all my scans performed at the Local Hospital.  Hospitals lease the most advanced technology equipment. Hospitals don't normally purchase all their equipment. Therefore, when the hospital equipment is leased the hospital will swap it out, for the latest advanced technology equipment.  I believe the techs are more experienced and are required to continually educated.  

• I checked the Cardiologist Office ULTRASOUND machine and was very old technology.  They like to use their equipment to run up THEIR OWN BILLING.  When I had my ECHO at the Hospital the ULTRAOUND machine was super high tech and amazing.  Why not PAY and spend your TIME obtaining the BEST HIGH-TECH RESULTS.  They wouldn't be updating the Diagnostics equipment on a regular basis unless it's for better results?

• Educate yourself on Diagnostics SCANS with the health issues the scans detect:  

1. PET, SCAN   
2. CT, SCAN 
3. PET/CT, SCAN (with contrast & without contrast),  
4. MRI, SCAN (with contrast & without contrast)  
5. ULTRASOUND
6. X-RAYS  

• FYI:  I met a lady who had Ovarian issues.  Doctors stated an ULTRASOUND would be sufficient and which showed nothing.  Later she researched and went to UCLA requesting a PET/CT Scan.  Her Ovarian Cancer was found early.  

• FYI: I dated a Surgeon.  His sister died of Cancer.  His family was angry.  Although his sister was diagnosed and being treated for Breast Cancer it turned out she also had OVARIAN CANCER.  He stated the Doctors overlooked the area of the PET/CT Scan that showed she also had Ovarian Cancer.  She ended up dying from Ovarian Cancer.  The PET/CT is a Full-Body scan.  

• It's your body it's your responsibility.   Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• Doctors wouldn't provide until I requested.  Maybe because it takes TIME for their Office Staff to order the Diagnostics testing ? I learnt from the wealthy men in my area, who always seemed to be Diagnostics tested on a regular basis, like every year.  However, I had to request the testing.  Therefore, I researched on my own. 

• Obtain a Heart Ultrasound called an ECHO.  When reading the report look for the 'INJECTION FACTION' % on the report (very important).  Should be above 50%.  Under 50% than your heart could be in Heart Failure.  Perform your research. 

• I was never advised until recently that a LEG ULTRASOUND should be performed for Cardiac issues.  No other Cardiologist mentioned.  Even after I mentioned that I had upper leg swelling.  My Cardiologist was to be the BEST whom the local wealthy visited.  He never suggested a Leg UltraSound. 

• Additionally, request a HEART MONITOR from your Doctor that adheres with a patch to your chest.  Wear for (2 ) weeks to (1) month.  I would work out at the gym while wearing the monitor.  I would perform all types of activities to have it monitor my heart under various stresses.  FYI: The patch the monitor is attached can caused a rash on your chest.  I took off after 5 days, for 2 days, in-order to give my chest a break.  1-2 days later that rash went away.  Then changed the patch as they provide extra's.  It was more important I obtained a good reading of my heart function than worry about a tiny rash from the patch adhesive.  

• The Cardiologist will have the Heart Monitor delivered to your home.  It's a small device that connects to a patch you placed on your chest.  Can't even see underneath your clothes and can wear in the shower. 

• BIO-TELL/PHILLIPS is wonderful with supporting representatives whom are truly helpful.  The Doctor will receive a report.  I ALSO ordered a report DIRECTLY FROM BIO-TEL which they sent to my eMail.  Therefore, I could have a report for myself directly from BIOTEL/PHILLIPS, in case I wanted to send the results to other Cardiologist or my Primary Doctor.  When I change Doctors than can eMail them the report, directly.  

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• I have ALL my scans and blood work performed at the same hospital as an outpatient.  I can log-on to their on-line portal to obtain the results in 24 hours.  Also all my Diagnostics test are right there as well.  Everything in one place for when I change doctors or move to another state.  Also, family can log on and view. 

• Doctors Offices and other Hospitals can ELECTRONICALLY down-load your medical records from other Hospitals.  Of course only with your authorization.   This cannot be done if you have your Diagnostics/Scans performed at the Doctors office vs a Hospital.  

• Hospitals normally CONTRACT/LEASE their Diagnostics Equipment.  When the latest technology comes out the hospitals SWAP OUT the old technology for the NEW.   The ULTRSOUND and X-Ray equipment is more technology advanced than what I see in the Doctors offices.  Doctors like to have the equipment in their offices to drive up billing, if you check it's always older equipment.  Sometimes friends say the tech was not as good at the Doctors office or had other issues.  Hospitals require the techs educate with the new advanced equipment on a regular basis, and have full-time JOBs and they seem more Sr. Level. 

•  Additionally,  I can obtain the DISKs & REPORTS for FREE from the Hospital.  The Doctors offices CHARGE (sometimes $50.00-$100.00) for full reports and disk copies.  Also, Hospital, reports and disks, are available much quicker.  I will order and pick-up from the Hospital directly.  They will print or burn and disk while I wait.  Doctors offices take a few days. 

• I review my Health Report results on-line and Google it all, and learn it.  It's actually easy as the reports will advise if issues.  It's not rocket science after all.

• Doctors offices are busy. They are not paid as well as the old days.  They have a family to support with Office Staff.  Need to see more patients.  Also, Doctors have to deal with Insurance Companies and the Government, which most employees with Insurance Companies are now located in other countries.  

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• I was notified through many legal experts the Medical Board does NOT report all  Doctors, and rarely takes the time to report the Doctors malpractices.  It's up to the Attorney(s) to report a lawsuit which some negotiate alternatives.  

• Therefore, before a surgery than check your Doctor name in the court house records in the City/County where the Doctor is located.  Most court house records publish their legal cases on their COURTS WEBSITE.  If not, you can visit the Court House and use their public access computer to search records.   

• AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.  It's very hard to obtain an Attorney to sue a medical professional.  Normally, has to be a catastrophic injury to be worth an Attorney TIME and MONEY.  

• Besides looking up in COURT RECORDS directly.  Also Google the Doctor name + complaint & Doctor name + the word LAWSUIT.

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

• Keep in mind that Doctors are a ONE-MAN show.  They run a; Business, Staff and have a Home and Family to support.  And, they are only HUMAN too.

• Additionally, the Doctor office Billing Departments state it's a mess trying to get paid and can take months with several phone calls.  They have to call a foreign country that Insurance Companies use for billing.  

• I will ensure that I think ahead and call for a Doctor appointment a couple months prior.  Then I get he appointment TIME that I like too.  I found the best Doctors and they are the busiest when SR. LEAVEL EXPERIENCED.  Also ask if you can get on their WAIT LIST for a sooner appointment.  However, when on the WAIT LIST than most times you'll only have 24 Hours to change your daily regular plans to make the Doctor appointment, so be prepared for a last minute call.  I simply make it work, usually.   

• It's your body it's your responsibility.  Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

BAMBOOZLE #1

• I had a Cardiac Surgeon and Cardiologist say I needed a drastic surgery for my A-FIB.  It was low A-FIB.  Turns out the ECHO INJECTION FRACTION % was NOT down due to the A-FIB.   I repaired my own INJECTION FRACTION by going to the GYM and lowering STRESS.  

• (2) years later I ran on the Treadmill during a Doctor Stress Treadmill Test.  Cardiologist said I ran at the top of women my age.

BAMBOOZLE #2

• I had a Doctor 'request' to perform a Hysterectomy when I was 45.  While in the Doctor office I said, "I'll have to speak with my family first as (2) family members are Nurses in another state." He immediately said, "I'll be right back." When the Doctor returned he said for me "to think about it."  Turned out I didn't need a hysterectomy.  Go figure.  Later some "lady" Nurse friends advised of his reputation between the Nurses....and he was referred by another Doctor who was shocked when I mentioned.  

• I learnt that Nurses speak up, during their off time.  Most actually care.  

• Some Legal Professionals advised that Doctors, "like to cut to make their Mercedes payments."  No offense NOT ALL.  Seems the Back-Bone of America Worker-Beez, who don't have Attorneys on speed dial, need to ensure not medically bamboozled.

• It's your body it's your responsibility.   Your body is the most important TOOL in your life.  When not working properly than effects your entire life. 

BOMBOOZLE #3 - was astronomical

• Provide a Heart Drug that is known to cause harm which most Doctors don't prescribe, I almost died.  It damaged my heart forever.  My INJECTION FRACTION went from a very healthy 65% to 20% Heart Failure.  I had to rebuild my own heart that will never be the same.  I worked out at the gym and back to 50% INJECTION FACTION with a more damaged, weaker, heart.
