Spring Dreams
Hello Friends,
Winter is coming to an end and this is a good time to begin a weight management and exercise program. The weather is nice, not too hot or cold, so taking that walk should be easy to manage. Think over your eating habits and make a new resolve to take control of your life to include eating healthy, getting enough exercise, and drink plenty of water.
You have only one body and when your health is ruined it is over. Take some time to make new resolutions and start fresh here in the wonderful spring. By winter you could make a significant impact on your health. Think about it!

Pros and Cons About Getting Swine Flu Vaccine
There continue to be many questions about the swine flu vaccine. Some are running to stand in line for the shot and others are taking a wait and see attitude. No one can make this decision for you, but you should know that every year the flu (the seasonal flu) takes the life of 36,000 people according to the CDC. The problem with the seasonal flu is that it takes a different strain every year. You cannot develop an immunity to the flu.
The swine flu (H1N1) is something different again. So even if you get the regular flu shot you will not be protected against the swine flu. This is the first time there has been a vaccination for H1N1 and this vaccination has had no significant research behind it.
Take the time to check out the Centers for Disease Control Web site to help you make a wise decision about this vaccination.
Before you vaccinate you should consider:
If you feel the usual flu symptoms, immediately see your doctor. Do not wait until you are seriously ill. Swine flu can kill you if you do not get treatment in time.
Now that you have all the warnings, you should remember to use your common sense. Proper protection is really the best means of preventing the seasonal flu or swine flu.

Before you vaccinate you should consider:
- Am I or my family member in a high risk group? (senior citizen, pregnant, or a child)
- Am I at risk for coming in contact with the sickness?
- Is my immune system weak?
- What does my doctor advise?
If you feel the usual flu symptoms, immediately see your doctor. Do not wait until you are seriously ill. Swine flu can kill you if you do not get treatment in time.
Now that you have all the warnings, you should remember to use your common sense. Proper protection is really the best means of preventing the seasonal flu or swine flu.

Healthcare Fraud

More About the Swine Flu
The swine flu (H1N1) virus is frightening and most of us do not know how to combat this sickness. There have already been confirmed cases of the swine flu in Houston locally so it is coming. In October the first of the swine flu vaccinations will become available and there is some controversy about the safety and efficacy of these vaccinations. I am including a link to my article Pros and Cons About Getting Swine Flu Shot.
Avoiding crowded places is the best way to protect yourself, but that is not possible for most of us. Here are some other ways to protect yourself.
If you are sick stay home. I know there is significant pressure to show up regularly to work, but if you are truly sick with a temperature you should not go in to work. You will delay your recovery and spread your sickness to others around you. Stay home.
There are ways you can protect yourself that are just plain common sense and you should already be practicing these methods. Good handwashing is the first line of defense against these seasonal sicknesses. If you are in a public rest room wash your hands and use the paper towel to open the door when you leave. Be careful about touching doors in public places.
Keep liquid hand cleaner with you at all times. Use it regularly. There will be times when you must touch things or shake hands with people. Do not be afraid, just keep your hand cleaner available and use it regularly.
Sneezing is a problem. If you have a tissue, sneeze into the tissue. If you do not have a tissue sneeze into your arm. This is the best way to keep germs from spreading to those around you. Sneezing into your hand is not sanitary because you will spread germs to everything and everyone you touch.
This flu season is going to be difficult but if everyone makes an effort to control the spread of germs it will be better for everyone.

Baby Boomers and Healthcare
Take Charge of Your Healthcare
In view of this information is it unbelievable that the Obama Administration could possibly believe that Americans would favor cuts to eliminate many Medicare provisions. It is also foolish to believe that these senior citizens who have worked all their lives and contributed in good times and bad times to this economy would be willing to accept the current attempt to marginalize their lives and make them feel as if it is time to get out of the way for a new generation.
While it may be extreme to call the attempts to institute consultations about creating living wills and advanced directives, death panels; anyone who knows the views of the individuals who are pushing this on the American people should be extremely skeptical of their motives.
There is no doubt that creating access to healthcare for people is important. But to say that our healthcare system is totally broken is a flat out lie and should not be accepted by Americans. Senior citizens are a significant portion of the population and should not hesitate to let this government know that as a people we know our rights and will not accept such treatment. Your vote counts and you should be watching these people and taking names. Make your list and check it twice! Elections are coming!

Granulomas and AutoImmune Disease
According to Princeton:
A granuloma is a tumor composed of granulation tissue resulting from injury or inflammation or infection. wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn This tumor may form in many areas of the body and is usually benign. They are not usually removed.
If you have been told you have a granuloma, that means that you have a lump that has grown as a result of inflammation (usually chronic) somewhere in the body. If you continue to have inflammation new granulomas will continue to form. The root cause must be treated.
It is important to understand that inflammation is the body's way of dealing with infection, irritation, or other types of injuries. Inflammation is a recognized type of nonspecific immune response.
If you have problems with your immune system you should find a doctor who understands the treatment of auto immune diseases such as Lupus. This specialist is called a rheumatologist, the specialty is Rheumatology. Take a look at the following informative videos. Perhaps it is time to take a look at how our diet combined with toxins and chronic inflammation affects the way our body functions.

American Healthcare System...Is it broken?
Healthcare is in the news this month. The Obama administration is pushing HEALTHCARE REFORM that will change the way you access medical care forever if enacted. Because of the life changing implications of this plan it is important for every one of us to become informed about these changes. If you do not like what you see happening it is time right now to make your voice heard.
There is no doubt that changes need to be made but we need to think long and hard before following Canada, England, and Europe down the road to UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. I worked in the healthcare industry for many years and am personally acquainted with a number of Canadian healthcare workers who explained the system to me personally. There are some benefits to the system. It works particularly well if you are not really sick, young and healthy, or starting a family. The benefits to families during and after pregnancy are great. Mothers and fathers are paid to stay home for a year. You go back to work for six months and have another child and you can be off for another year. Very good benefits!
Unfortunately, there is a darker side to this story. As a patient if you have a serious medical emergency it will be necessary for you to get in line for everything from your visit to a specialist to getting necessary scans to getting the surgery. Hospital time is rationed and you may need to wait for a year for the first scan. There is a reason why Canadians are coming to the US for treatment. They are unable to get treatment in Canada. Many come here for charity care as well because many of our medical groups have charity care guidelines that offer treatment to many people on a need basis.
This is just a glimpse of healthcare as it is around the world. The implications for Americans is frightening. No reasoning person believes that our HEALTHCARE SYSTEM is perfect. But there is a reason why people from all over the world are trying to get into this country for treatment and other reasons.
We are a pround and sometimes arrogant people. We are accustomed to our freedom to choose. But we tend to be apathetic until something rouses us to move. This is one of those signal moments that we must do something or things will change. If we do nothing here is what you can expect:
1. The rate of cancer deaths in Canada is a staggering 16% higher than in the United States.
2. RATIONING OF HEALTHCARE. At present in the United States the wait for a doctor appointment is weeks to months depending on the specialty.
3. When the government controls the salary of doctors, more doctors will seek other careers. We already have a shortage of primary care doctors. Currently only 2% of graduating doctors become primary care physicians.
4. Right now over half of American doctors do not accept Medicaid. The new plan will change Medicare and Medicaid to include many new types of patients. These are the programs that will be in place under a new healthcare system. What do you think will happen when 50,000,000 patients are added to the mix. That is the number being bandied around to provide mandatary coverage to all Americans including illegal aliens.
5. A large number of people who will not receive treatment will be the over 60 group.
These staggering statements seem almost too horrifying to believe and the rhetoric of some off the wall crazy, but these statements are being made every day by the mainstream media and we would do well to listen. The most horrifying thing I know is that NONE of the US Senators have any intention of reading the current bill for HEALTHCARE REFORM before VOTING on it. The bill is too large to read. That should offer a WARNING FLAG to any reasoning person.
I have listed web sites for your Texas state senators and the US senators for Texas. You would do well to contact them and encourage your friends to contact them to let them know how you feel about the presently offered changes in healthcare. You can make a difference. NOW is the time to act.
