Keith Olbermann, #45 …. “TRUMPCARE …. Gutting Health Care Will Kill Americans …. “!!

~~March 15, 2017~~ 

APOCALYPSE FORETOLD

I’ve been in healthcare all my professional life. At this time, I’ve been retired for 4 years.

I can truly tell you, from the front lines, that healthcare is a major issue in the lives of all Americans.

You never know when any medical condition will strike you or any member of your family.

It can deal a devastating blow to life as you know it … emotionally and financially.

It’s my strong personal belief that we are on this Earth to help each other when needed.

We are not here to hurt anyone!

“DO NO HARM”

Trumpcare vs. Obamacare

The Congressional Budget Office report on Trumpcare is out, and it’s devastating: 14 million people losing insurance in the first year, 24 million over time, with premiums soaring for older, lower-income Americans — in many cases, the very people who went strongly for President Trump.

The C.B.O. thinks it would reduce the deficit, but only marginally, around $30 billion a year in a $19 trillion economy.

Obamacare imposes a mandate to induce healthy people to sign up, offers means-tested subsidies to make insurance affordable and expands Medicaid to take care of people with really low incomes. Trumpcare eliminates the mandate, slashes subsidies overall and redirects them to those who don’t need them and sharply cuts Medicaid.

Of course that leads to a huge drop in coverage.

I feel this is important information about what is happening in the Republican Administration lead by Drumpf and what we need to be aware of.

Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.

He has posted installment #45.

The video speaks for itself.

If this resonates with you, good.

If they don’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

Thank you!

Carl W. Dieffenbach, PhD, Director, Division of AIDS, NIAID

This year, 2016, the world marked the 35th anniversary of the first published reports of what would come to be known as HIV/AIDS.

This disease has wrought enormous suffering and devastation and caused more than 35 million deaths. Yet today, thanks to remarkable achievements in biomedical science and public health, we have the tools to build a better future for individuals living with HIV and for those at risk of infection.

We are hopeful that new approaches currently under exploration could expedite the end of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

GOOGLE SEARCH 

As a retired medical professional, I’ve seen this time and time again since the advent of the internet.

I do believe in the “informed patient” scenario, yet this can be a scary thing.

I still believe in the advise of “asking your doctor before you try this”.

Counting on common sense of the people who search.

Googling a medical issue can feel like falling down an endless black hole of links

Google plays doctor by identifying your medical symptoms

Google’s mobile site as well as its iOS and Android apps will introduce a feature that aims to track down information on medical symptoms. Instead of having to search for a condition, you can search for a certain symptom, such as “my stomach hurts.”

In response, Google provides an overview of potential conditions, possible treatments, directions on how to get more information online and which type of doctor may be able to help.

Something to think about …. “The Story of My Life …. “!!

~~June 10, 2016~~ 

TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THIS

My life has been the proverbial roller coaster of dieting and weight loss back to weight gain.

I’m in my 60’s now.

It’s not a matter of looking good anymore.

It’s a matter of feeling good and being healthy.

I have started another regimen.

This time it’s accompanied by working out.

Not the usual working out at a gym.

I’ve started doing Pilates.

So far so good.

Today was the second session of a one-on-one trainer.

It felt good today.

I’m motivated.

I want to do this because I don’t want my joints to hurt so much anymore.

I need to be more mobile.

Life is going by fast …. Let’s get this done.

EMERGING EPIDEMIC

This isn’t anything new.

It’s been the reality of many American families, kept in secret for the stigma it brings.

Losing well known personalities to this addiction should bring the topic to the forefront for further discussion.

Recognizing this as a medical condition is mandatory.

Treatment should be available, not only to well known personalities but also to the common “Joe“.

Big Pharma seems to be working to make a fortune on treatment for this condition.

This should be stopped.

American citizens need help not secrecy, price gouging or stigmatization.

Prince, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger all died from opioid overdoses

Toxicology results are in.

Prince died from an opioid overdose. He became just one of thousands of Americans who have fallen victim to prescription painkillers. Since 1999, the number of opioid-related deaths have nearly quadrupled.

Opioids – whether prescription painkillers or heroin – reduce the perception of pain and create feelings of pleasure. They are highly addictive. Over time, the body’s opioid receptors become accustomed to the drug; users may need to take a higher dose to get the same euphoric feelings and stave off withdrawal. When taken in excess, opioids can kill users by depressing their ability to breathe.

And as the Boston Globe reports, the United States is dealing with two inter-related drug abuse epidemics: One for prescription pills, and one for heroin.

Will Prince finally get us talking about the prescription pill epidemic in America?

MEDICAL CORNER …. “Sex Reassignment Surgery …. male-to-female … “!!

~~April 27,2016~~ 

SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY 

MALE TO FEMALE

I’m a retired physician.

I worked actively for almost 40 years.

As I look back, I see all the progress that has been made in so many different aspects of medical care.

One very important and interesting one is the ability to reassign anatomically correct genitals to those individuals who feel they are trapped in the wrong body.

Another important aspect, to me personally, has to do with these anti-LGBT laws that are popping out in so many states. These laws are clearly discriminatory against a group of citizens who are a part of this country.

WARNING!

The included video is an animated video released by the European Society of Urology that demonstrated the surgical process.

It’s not for the faint of heart of those who are easily offended.

This is medicine.

This is actual surgery.

My intention is education for anyone who stops by this post.

HortyRex©

Sex reassignment surgery for male-to-female involves reshaping the male genitals into a form with the appearance of, and, as far as possible, the function of female genitalia.

Prior to any surgeries, patients usually undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and, depending on the age at which HRT begins, facial hair removal.

There are associated surgeries patients may elect to, including facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, and various other procedures.

When changing anatomical sex from male to female, the testicles are removed, and the skin of foreskin and penis is usually inverted, as a flap preserving blood and nerve supplies (a technique pioneered by Sir Harold Gillies in 1951), to form a fully sensitive vagina (vaginoplasty).

A clitoris fully supplied with nerve endings (innervated) can be formed from part of the glans of the penis.

If the patient has been circumcised (removal of the foreskin), or if the surgeon’s technique uses more skin in the formation of the labia minora, the pubic hair follicles are removed from some of the scrotal tissue, which is then incorporated by the surgeon within the vagina.

Other scrotal tissue forms the labia majora.

MEDICAL CORNER …. “The short and sweet about diet soda”!!

~~August 31, 2015~~ 

FIVE SURPRISING SIDE EFFECTS OF DRINKING DIET SODA

Here are 5 side effects of diet soda according to prevention.com

Number 5

The low calorie drink may cause cell damage

Diet sodas contain preservatives that many standard carbonated beverages do not – sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. According to Peter Piper, a professor at the University of Sheffield

“These chemicals have the ability to cause severe damage to DNA in the mitochondria to the point that they totally inactivate it – they knock it out altogether.”

Number 4

A good metabolism is nothing to take for granted

Research conducted in 2008 studied nearly 10,000 people. The scientists found that just consuming one diet soda a day puts you at a 34% higher risk of metabolic syndrome which is linked to excess belly fat and high cholesterol.

Number 3

Detrimental effects on kidneys

Researchers at Harvard Medical School have spent more than a decade studying the effects of diet soda on the kidneys. The scientists found that the drinks were related to significant chances of kidney function decline in women who drank more than two of these beverages per day.

Number 2

Increasing waistlines

You may not want to switch to diet soda if you’re trying to lose weight. A study carried out by the University of Texas Health Science Center found that drinking two or more cans of diet soda per day actually increased waistlines. Another study by Purdue University suggested artificial sweeteners played a role in hindering the body’s ability to regulate calorie intake.

Number 1

If you wish to avoid a hangover, you may want to steer clear of diet soda.

Alcoholic beverages which contain diet soda will get you drunk a lot quicker. An Australian based study revealed that sugar-free cocktails caused booze to enter a person’s bloodstream faster than drink concoctions made with real sugar.

10 Everyday Foods That Are Slowly Killing You

By: Anna Fleet

Anna Fleet is a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer. She believes that being healthy is a lifestyle choice, not a punishment or temporary fix to attain a desired fitness or body image goal.

Anna helps her clients take responsibility for their own health and wellness through her classes and articles on Activebeat.

When it comes to the foods you shouldn’t be eating, it would be simple for me to point to the obvious. Bacon, for example, regardless of its deliciousness … well, on EVERYTHING, will eventually double your risk of stroke if you eat a lot of it every day. And food experts warn that convenience, deep-fried foods are no better. Donuts, French fries, and chicken wings not only threaten your waistline; the deep-frying process actually leaves food infused with toxic chemicals that put you at risk of chronic inflammatory conditions and certain types of cancer.

Most of us know that we should eat better. But if you think you’re eating healthy yet the following ten foods make up majority of your diet — think again! So as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, it’s prime time you discovered the hidden dangers of these popular North American foods

MEDICAL CORNER …. Eating healthier and cheaper!!

Why Grow Food?

Growing your own food at home makes sense.

The benefits include the following

Your organic, home-grown fruit, vegetables and herbs are fresher, more nutritious and more delicious than conventionally farmed fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Most fruit and vegetables lose nutritional value when they are stored for lengthy periods, or when they are being transported from interstate or overseas. Chemical preservatives are also applied, which do nothing for your health.

The fruit and vegetables in supermarkets have been bred for appearance, a long shelf life and resistance to bruising during transport. The fruit and vegetables best to grow in your own back yard, on the other hand, have been bred for being nutritious and delicious.

You don’t have to worry about the prices of vegetables, herbs and fruits continuing to rise.  The best way to ensure food security for you, your family and your neighbors is to source, and even better to grow, your own food locally.

Pride of produce – showing off doesn’t get better than this. Experience the warm glow of knowing you grew that whole salad or vegetable stew yourself!

Food gardening is a gentle, relaxing and stress-lowering form of exercise.

Home food production connects you with the seasons and the cycles of nature. Tomatoes taste better not only fresh of the plant, but when you have to wait for them!

You have reduced your carbon footprint by reducing the food miles of what you eat.

Did you know that the growing, processing, packaging, storing and transporting of what we eat make up 37% of the average eco-footprint?  Freshly eaten home-grown food produces no green house emissions. Your home-grown food travels meters instead of hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

Your organically home-grown food is clean – free from genetic modification, chemical pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

You are improving the health of America’s soils and waterways by not creating demand for agricultural chemicals and practices that negatively effect soils, waterways and our fragile environment.

You are saving water. Common agricultural practices have been shown to use water extremely inefficiently. Home grown food uses significantly less water relative to the amount of food harvested.

MEDICAL CORNER …. Sea Salt vs Table Salt!!

~~February 2, 2015~~ 

What’s the difference between sea salt and table salt?

The most notable differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing.

Sea salt is produced through evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes, usually with little processing. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain trace minerals and elements. The minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels.

Table salt is typically mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid.

Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight.

Whichever type of salt you enjoy, do so in moderation.

Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.

I personally have switched from table salt to sea salt water and have noticed a difference in the texture and flavor. I appreciate the fact that sea salt has less processing and natural minerals are left behind. 

In my opinion, less human intervention, the better.
