Ok enough…..?

  • Posted on April 7, 2011 at 7:23 am

Allright everyone, seriously I am not a Paris fan at all, however, she does not deserve the treatment she is getting. I am a daughter of a defense attorney, and growing up I have had a few friends caught driving drunk. NONE served jail time other than that night, and yes, 2 did get caught driving again with the suspended license, just as Paris, and still did not serve jail time. So come on, she is a frek and famous for nothing, but she does not need to be in jail because the judge is on a power trip. If this was someone close to you, you would be fighting for that person to be set free. Stop hating just to hate………….
Let’s move on
Yes I have lost my best friend 2 years ago to a drunk driving accident in AZ. Different case than, she did not kill anyone, she is in trouble for driving with a suspended license, that is the only charge. do youwant to spend 45 days in jail for that charge?

SEXPOT DAUGHTER. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY! AM I BEING IRRATIONAL OR IS THERE A WAY TO DEAL W/ THIS?

  • Posted on February 9, 2011 at 11:23 am

Ok. I keep trying to ask this w/out writing a book but it’s hard. My lover of 6 years is in his 50s. I’m in my 30s. We have a wonderful relationship & an awesome, active sex life. We love each other. My lover has been married 2x. His 1st wife had 3 kids but then left him for someone else, and he married the second woman on the rebound. He and his second wife never got along it was a mistake. He could never make her happy. He had his vasectomy reversed thinking kids would make her happy, but after she had a boy and a girl things only got worse, so he left. The kids from the second marriage hated him for leaving. And, as you may imagine, when we started dating and became very close, they hated me. That was then. Now his oldest daughter from the second marriage is 17, will turn 18 later this month. She’s had probs since she became a teenager. She started doing drugs and sleeping around. She was put into a psych hospital and later put in a rehab school for 9 months (it cost 30,000K & was her mom’s idea plus none of it was covered by health insurance b/c though it is a rehab it is classified as a “private school” to keep the child’s records from being tainted). Her father paid for her to have a $14000 truck on her 16th birthday which was subsequently totalled. Most recently, she fell out of a tree drunk and broke a vertebrae & then “got physical” with her mother and that’s when her mom called her dad & asked him to let her move in w/ him. Now she’s living with him. I moved out so we wouldn’t be shacking up around her. She’s stopped screwing everyone she meets so she has a boyfriend who her dad thinks is worthless (he’s got a wrap she for burglary of occupied structure & his license is suspended but before he found that out he’d been driving her around), but at least he’s one person even if he is 27 and she’s turning 18 this month. Her insurance, which is not full coverage is $300 a month, b/c she’s had so many crashes and wreckless tickets. I personally think she should not have just been given a second car w/out showing some sort of initiative like getting a part time job. Even if it is 10 hours a week. The next thing is she wears clothes that cut her crotch front and back, for which she gets sent home from school. Recently her dad gave her a credit card for emergencies only, but she’d managed to wrack up $500 in expenses for nothing (fast food, gas station, cigarettes–yes, she smokes) in about 2 weeks. He had to cancel the card. He found that she has forged his name on Saturday school notices. He let her have a beer or glass of wine once in a while in his presence so now she’s started coming home from her weekend escapades with her wine coolers (she prefers them to beer-as if that’s legal). He drinks beer & so do I, but mainly on the weekend when she’s gone. Her father & I happened to notice her myspace once when the computer was left on, and she’s got on little jean shorts, a crop top is poking out her boobs (which are tiny) and is a full length photo she is tall and slender, but complains about her nose being crooked and huge (which she’s right, but she can always change it as an adult if she wants to fix it–it’s not the end of the world). Her dad said that based on her promiscuity and her choice of clothing and her worship my body photos, he complains she thinks she’s “hot ****” and if she won’t get a job he worries she’ll eventually turn to porn or stripping since she is so focused on her body rather than anything else in her life. Her boyfriend is all about sex. Her music about sex. Her clothes about sex. But I defended her saying it was a phase, and I try to listen to her. I do her nails. I did like her but something’s changed. I mentioned that I moved out so she could be w/ her dad w/out me around. I was happy to. But now that I see her manipulating her situation, I am mad, maybe a bit jealous, which I don’t like even in myself. But she’s living in what I knew as my home, and she’s treating her father and me more disrespectful more just using us. The other day I went over with her father to walk our dog. We went for abt an hour then came back. She was laying on the couch watching Maury w/ a sports bra and men’s boxer shorts so thin and white I could see the color of her skin through them and they were rolled down to her pubic bone. Way down. Who the hell is that for? To irritate me? To make me jealous or feel disrespected or to question the appropriateness of what goes on there b/c it’s totally inappropriate to dress like that in front of company & I only come over when she’s there to cook them dinner, walk w/ him and the dog, or help with a project, or do her nails. I’m at my place during her school week, and if he and I drink a beer together, we do it w/out her at the pub. I was angry with her & him. Enough is enough. He didn’t notice it and said I was overreacting b/c she was at home & is comfortable around us. But see, I don’t want her to feel that comfortable with me. It makes me uncomfortable. I

How do you discourage your child from drinking once they are old enough to go to bars?

  • Posted on November 28, 2010 at 4:32 pm

My step-daughter just turned 19 (which makes her legally old enough to drink in Ontario). She still lives at home and works part-time. She is determined to take advantage of her new legal status and drink. I can’t stop her from going to the bar, she is old enough now, but how do I discourage her from going? Her father has an alcohol problem and she has always been bitter about his alcoholism and it’s effects on his kids’ lives. I can’t ground her (she is my step child and I’m not allowed to be the bad guy – wife’s rules). I can’t kick her out. I can’t stop her from going. But how can I convince her to stop going? Last night she didn’t come home until 3:00 am (only after me calling her cell phone none-stop for over half-an hour plus a couple of text messages).

Does anybody have hypothyroidism? or know enough about it? PLEASE read if you do :(?

  • Posted on November 27, 2010 at 5:24 am

Sorry this is alot to read but i really would like somebody who knows about this to help me :(

I am almost positive i have it, but i think my doctor is just blowing it off as high blood pressure. Because symptoms of high blood pressure can mimic a few of hypothyroidism, the only thing is that High blood pressure is also a symptom of hypothyroidism..

But i have alot more symptoms of hypothyroidism. Including feeling weak, sore, tired, confused, very dry skin. I could probably go on but it is really getting worse. When my daughter is in daycare i come home and sleep literally all day i need an alarm to wake me up. I have to drink like 3-4 cans of diet coke a day so i can be awake and able to take care of my daughter. I do feel fine sometimes but the majority i feel like crap. And I feel like if i didnt set an alarm i wouldnt wake up, it sucks because i go back to school on monday and i know it is going to be extremely hard with how bad i feel. I never felt like this until i was pregnant and after i had my daughter but it has been 3 months since she was born :(

My moms boyfriend is a pediatrition and thinks my doctor is being an idiot and is trying to help me out, i am just trying to get all my test results from the doctor so he can see them. My doctor told me that one of my tests showed i had low thyroid levels and he said it was fine.. obviously it isnt. I am on high blood pressure medication which IS making my blood pressure go down, because it gets water out of my bloodstream to make the pressure go down, it is still above the normal blood pressure though, it probably averages about 125/185 which isnt bad but not as low as it should be. but i still feel like crap! i am going crazy i really wish somebody could help me figure out what to do to make myself feel better. I have already asked a few questions about this and got some answers that pretty much assured me this really is the problem i am dealing with.

I just want to know what i can do to feel better in the meantime? Especially with starting school on monday. And i plan on seeing another doctor but i just dont have time right now i dont know what to do

I dont expect to get alot of answers i am just hoping somebody will be able to help me out a little bit? i probably sound pathetic but i feel awful.

Not to mention i am a pretty young mom so it is hard enough as it is, i do not need another thing like this added on top of it . I want to be healthy for my daughter, and for myself i just dont know what to do :(

I Didn’t Love Him Enough

  • Posted on January 8, 2010 at 2:07 am

Dear Jane,

My ex-husband and I divorced after sixteen years of marriage. It wasn’t an awful marriage but I never really loved him. He knew this although we never really talked about it. When he started to drink a few years after our daughter was born, I really felt even more distant from him. We divorced six years ago without much discussion, like distant strangers.

Now I’ve met a wonderful man whom I love deeply. It seems that my ex suddenly can’t stand that I’m happy. (He heard about it from our daughter; I wouldn’t have rubbed his nose in it.) He started calling me telling me every few days, haranguing me that it’s my fault that he drank, that I ruined his self-esteem, and that he wasted the best years of his life on me. I want to know what I should feel guilty about. What should I apologize for?

While we bring all our hopes and dreams into marriage, we also bring all our limiting beliefs, self-judgments, and fears, most of which surface only after the routine of daily life sets in. When your ex-husband agreed to marry you knowing you didn’t really love him, he unconsciously used you to reinforce a prior belief that he wasn’t lovable. (Perhaps you had the same unconscious limiting belief or why would you have chosen him?) This baggage of feeling unworthy of love is what drove him to drink, not you. All you provided was a mirror of a belief he already held. That’s what people do: they mirror back what we already believe about ourselves.

Now, once again, he’s using your current happiness to mirror his belief that he’s unworthy. It’s not your intention to hurt him. He’s hurting himself and he’s the only one who can stop hurting himself by healing his thoughts about his worthiness instead of wasting any more time resenting you. The most harmful thing you could do is to reinforce his unworthiness belief by taking on inappropriate guilt. If you say, “You’re right to resent me. It’s all my fault that you’re miserable and alcoholic,” you are encouraging him to stay blind to what your relationship mirrored within him. If you don’t want to reinforce the belief that he is a “broken cookie” who is unlovable and unworthy, don’t apologize for his unconscious beliefs. Clearly, that won’t help him.

As I write about in Enough Is Enough!, underneath every resentment we hold is an underlying personal regret. Deep down, doesn’t your ex probably really regret not loving himself enough to have created a loving relationship with a partner or even with himself?

So what can you do? Tell him that you hope that he heals the thought that he’s unworthy so that he can have the love he deserves. Tell him that you hope he gets underneath his resentment to his real regret: that he let himself waste time feeling unloved and drowning his feelings in alcohol. Tell him that you are willing to forgive yourself for wasting time similarly.

What you can apologize for is participating in reinforcing his limiting beliefs in any way that you did while you were married. If you were unloving in word or deed, if you ignored him, if you were less than compassionate, apologize for all of that now. Forgive yourself for what your part was given whatever baggage you brought to the relationship. Then encourage him to forgive himself. After that, see him as a whole, deserving, empowered, and healed being. This is the most loving and compassionate thing you can do for both of you.

Are Canadians Paranoid Enough?

  • Posted on January 7, 2010 at 4:27 pm

Are Canadians being watched?

I thought that this would be a fun topic to cover. I was recently on a Canadian forum and I had a conversation with several members about electronic harassment and Gang Stalking.

Some thought it was paranoid to worry about being spied upon and monitored, that’s fair, but let’s look at some of the evidence presented and you tell me if they are paranoid enough when it comes to government spying.

The privacy commissioner of Canada, Jennifer Stoddard, warned Canadians this February about Secret databases that can not be accessed by the accused.

http://www.corbettreport.com/articles/20080214_snitch_state.htm

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/13/rcmp-privacy.html?ref=rss

[quote]
Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, has given her own Valentine to Canadian citizens: a 48-page report warning them that the RCMP (Canada’s national police force) is keeping thousands of files on regular citizens in secret databases which cannot be seen by the accused.

One of the many disturbing facets of Stoddart’s report are the examples she cites of information for these secret files coming from citizen informants. In one case a man was put into the secret database because a resident of his daughter’s school neighborhood saw him entering a rooming house and—believing drugs were involved—called the police. The police investigation concluded that the man had only stepped out of his car to have a cigarette, but the file was still in the national security databank seven years later.

Another incident cited in the Stoddart report involved a neighbour who saw two men carrying “something that resembled a large drum, wrapped in canvas” into their house. Police were called to investigate but found nothing resembling the reported item, yet the data was still sitting in a top secret databank five years later. As Stoddart points out in the CBC story on the report, this is potentially disastrous for the individuals named in the files, because it “could potentially affect someone trying to obtain an employment security clearance, or impede an individual’s ability to cross the border.”

What these seemingly disparate reports point to is a growing movement to turn the citizens of so-called free, democratic nations into a self-regulating secret police, saving the government the hassle of keeping tabs on everyone by delegating the duty to an unwitting public duped by a phoney war on terror.
[/quote]

Ok So Canadians are in secret databases that can not be accessed, not a big deal for some. Let’s see what else might be happening.

http://www.spying101.com/

[quote]If you attended a Canadian university in the past eighty years, it’s possible that, unbeknownst to you, Canadian security agents were surveying you, your fellow students, and your professors for ‘subversive’ tendencies and behaviour. Since the end of the First World War, members of the RCMP have infiltrated the campuses of Canada’s universities and colleges to spy, meet informants, gather information, and on occasion, to attend classes.[/quote]

Spying in Canadian schools and on Campus.

[quote]
The book, a thorough examination of RCMP surveillance of the academic world, also discusses the Mounties’ efforts to keep tabs on other elements of society, including government, the media and women’s groups.
The RCMP created security files on 800,000 Canadians, and it has long been known the force took an active interest in politicians and public
servantswith links to Communist organizations or other pursuits deemed subversive.[/quote]

Wow 800,000 Canadians and counting with files opened, just for going to a Canadian University or College. That sounds reason to be a bit paranoid.

[quote]The Mounties cultivated informants among students and faculty at universities across the country and sometimes relied on the direct observations of RCMP members who were taking classes to further their education.[/quote]

Fellow students cultivated as Informants who then graduate and go on into the workforce and into the rest of society? Nothing to be paranoid about there, if you care about your privacy.

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/2499.html

[quote]According to Redden, citizens can sometimes defeat the snitch culture. He lauds Canadians for discovering a secret government database that contained information on “virtually everyone in the country.”

The system tracked domestic and external travel, personal finances, and other intimate details on 33 million people.

When journalists revealed that the database was being used by spy agencies and the Mounties, 18,000 Canadians petitioned the health ministry to find out what the government knew about them. Eventually, the government was forced to dismantle the database ? or so they said. Government officials admitted the database was insecure, and so countless copies could easily have been made by police or nosy bureaucrats.
[/quote]

Wow a secret government database the contained information on nearly everyone in the country. The last time I heard about something like this, it was
East Germany. I wonder how a country the size of Canada, can have a secret government database with information on just about everyone. What intimate details did this system have, and how did it get this information?

They dismantled a database with information on everyone in the country, that they must have spent a great deal of time, effort and money to collect? Does anyone really believe this? Of course they do.
Wow this would make some people a little paranoid.

Lastly not related to spying but an interesting link. From the people who brought you Truman Show Syndrome.

I found out that there is a military link, at least one of the male patients had a former military background.

http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2008/07/being_the_main_character_in_yo.html

Also one of the psychiatrist that is researching Truman Show Syndrome works out of McGill University in Quebec.

http://gangstalking.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/truman-show-delusion

[quote]Gold and his brother, Dr. Ian Gold, the Canada research chair in philosophy and psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal, came up with the term “Truman Show delusion.”[/quote]

If you will remember the MK Ultra mind control experiments which the Canadian and U.S. government agreed to, were conducted by McGill University in Montreal, Dr Ewen Cameron’s old haunt. Ewen Cameron is the doctor that was at the heart of the MK Ultra experiments and McGill is the very University that allowed them.

Also many of complaints about Gang Stalking in Canada are coming out of Toronto and Vancouver Canada. I have seen at least one news article on this for Vancouver, but I don’t think I have seen any articles about this subject out of Toronto yet, which based on the complains is an epicenter for Gang Stalking.

This is all fun stuff to know. So should Canadians be more concerned, more paranoid, or is there really nothing to see here? Only time will tell.

Conventional or Alternative Medicine is not Enough: Go Green

  • Posted on January 6, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Whether you are strictly a proponent of Conventional medicine or a combination of both Alternative and Conventional to cure your health problem, it does not make sense if you have harmful habits.  One must not smoke, drink, or do drugs. One must manage one’s stress, exercise moderately, and, most importantly one must eat well ~ food is your medicine.

Components of the Greens Diet

When asked, the type of diet or healthy eating practice I preach is a diet I call “The Greens Diet”. I actually stumbled on it at a Overeater’s Anonymous meeting.   It consists of:

12oz of protein (chicken, fish preferably salmon)

1 fruit per day (at least)
20 oz of Green leafy vegetables:

  Beet tops (red and green leaves)

  Kale

  Spinach

  Collard Greens

  Swiss Chard

  Mustard greens

 Other vegetables include: Turnips, Parsnips, Jicama, Green beans, Summer and Winter squashes

I tell my friends, my family, and, my patients, at a minimum to incorporate features of the Greens Diet into their diet, if not replace their diets completely.  The green vegetables I recommend above are the leafy and cruciferous kind. Fresh is always best but if a particular vegetable is not in season, by all means, there’s plenty in the freezer section of your local supermarket.  If the choice is between frozen or none at all, I would go with frozen.

Benefits of Greens
The benefits of green leafy vegetables are endless.  Kale’s constituents primarily include: Vitamin K, A, C, and manganese.  It is also rich in dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. Some studies list that Kale helps prevent cancer, it’s nutrients neutralize potentially carcinogenic substances.  The International Journal of  Cancer lists that those who consume kale and other cruciferous vegetables have a lower incidence of lung, colon, breast, and ovarian cancers.

Spinach, like Kale is another vegetable rich in Vitamins K, A, C, B6, E, folate, manganese, iron, and potassium.  Spinach helps protect against heart disease, arthritis, and, the type of cancer it helps protect against is that of the colon. Swiss Chard like Spinach and Kale is also rich in Vitamin K, A,C, E, and folate, manganese.  Research show that it helps with bone health and the type of cancer it protects against are in the digestive tract.  Because Swiss Chard is an excellent source of magnesium, so it helps regulate nerve and muscle tone by  balancing the action of calcium.  Insufficient magnesium can thus contribute to high blood pressure.   Like Kale, and Spinach, Swiss Chard is an excellent source of Vitamin C and E.  It has antioxidant powers that help battle free radicals that cause damage to cells.  Not having enough antioxidants in the body can result in inflammatory conditions like arthritis.  Vitamin C is also essential for immunity, excellent for the prevention of the common cold.   

All the greens and squashes listed above are excellent sources of fiber and shown to reduce high cholesterol levels which in turn help prevent atherosclerosis.  It’s also been shown that fiber helps keep blood sugar levels low, therefore helpful to those with Type 2 Diabetes.   Including bulky greens, and, squashes  in one’s current diet gives one a sense of fullness and contributes to weight loss.  I’ve seen this in my senior patients.  Some of my patients tout 1-3 lb/week losses. Some of the vegetables above contain some protein, but this Greens Diet includes 12 oz. of protein a day and I recommend fish, and if possible, salmon.  Salmon is a great source of omega oils excellent for heart, brain, skin, and vital in the reduction of high levels of cholesterol.  These dark green leafy vegetables, and  squashes  are easily available in your neighborhood supermarkets. Remember to add yellow, and, green squashes.  Low in carbs, and, sugar, they add texture to your greens. The most common type of squashes are either summer or winter squash.  When selecting your squashes, the summer squash should be fairly heavy for its size, and, free from blemishes.  Winter squashes are usually sold immature.Remember, think dark green Leafy, and yellow. In the 5 Element theory of Chinese medicine, squashes which are basically yellow, represent Earth; the organ: the Pancreas.  In Chinese Medicine theory, it is the pancreas that transforms food and drink into qi (energy), and, blood.     

You may blanch the greens, keeping them crunchy and tasty with your favorite salad dressing.  Remember that vinegar is an astringent, it holds in Lung Qi; the energy of breathing.  For frozen vegetables, check the instructions on the  package.  Remember not to overcook!  Feel free to garnish with nuts.  Squash is excellent baked or steamed.  Summer squashes can also be mashed and served with a little bit of butter or low-fat cream. Squashes can also be boiled before you toss in the greens cooking for an additional minute or two.  Spinach is great fresh.  Mix it with other salad greens.  I’m a fan of olive oil and vinegar as a dressing.

Patients Benefit from the Greens Diet

One of them let’s call Morris, a boy of 8 with ADHD.  His mother is a jewel of a woman with infinite patience, and, rationale.   Morris has everyone in the house inspired with how the Greens Diet has changed him.  He is calmer, and now can be still in order to listen.  “I want my daughter to have what you gave to Morris.  He is so much calmer, and, nicer,”  his classmate’s dad told Morris” mom.   Of course Morris’ mom and dad are on the program for weight loss, coz why not? They say.

My senior patient I will name Olivia, aged 70 came to Acupuncture because she had open heart surgery.  She was overweight, and worried about her heart.  She was sent to me by her cardiologist.  Olivia had a stroke, and open heart surgery.  A patient on blood thinners is not a candidate for herbal therapy.  She is kept on her conventional medicine protocol, and immediately put her on The Greens Diet.  The following week, Olivia happily reported that she lost 1 pound!  We were encouraged to continue,  balancing her coronary health, and diet.  Olivia is a good patient. She has an open mind, and, looks forward to alternative medicine complementing her HMO plan.  We were encouraged to continue, balancing her coronary health, with this Greens Diet and Acupuncture.
 

Another is a television actress we will call Gwen.  She is young, and, very talented.  Gwen needs to be clear of mind as she goes from one film set to another.  Gwen is a large woman of 5’9″ who thrives on the Greens Diet because it keeps her energetic, and she continues to fit well in her size 12 suits.  I am in my thirties, and, I feel fabulous~ “let’s take as many pictures of me now while I am young, and pretty!” she says. 

An elderly lady we will call Rita has glaucoma.  She comes to Acupuncture, and, herbal therapy so that she can see better.  Acupuncture treatments always improve her vision.   In Chinese Medicine, Glaucoma is damp.  The Greens Diet drains damp, and cools the blood that is stored in the liver.  To help drain damp and tonify her pancreas, we replaced her soda pop habit  with fresh ginger juice and honey.   Her vision continues to improve with Acupuncture and a customized Chinese Herbal formulation.  

Nancy is 49.  Recently diagnosed with type II diabetes, she came to my clinic seeking alternative medicine to support her decision to get better.  So focused was Nancy with her new diet, and, exercise regiment, that her numbers cleared up and balanced out rapidly.  In 6 weeks, her doctor was surprised with her recovery.  You are a model patient.  Would you be willing to speak in my coming Forum on Diabetes at the University next month?   Nancy’s recovery includes her will and determination to get better.  The Greens Diet easily manages diabetes.

Karena, 55, had surgery that incised the cancer she had in her breast.  She has Acupuncture to help her heal quickly.  I also put her on the Greens Diet to accelerate healing and to elevate, and, maintain her mood.
   
Conclusion:

 My patients are intelligent people who think out of the box as they pursue living well, and staying healthy.  They are in tune with their bodies.  They believe the Greens Diet works.  It gives them the energy to be on the ball with their busy schedules, as they continue to excel in their lives.  Less costly and always safe to use, I recommend The Greens Diet also because I am a Doctor of Chinese medicine with knowledge of traditional and natural remedies immediately recognizing its value (or value of its ingredients). As listed in my success stories above, I have used it to help my patient’s battle diseases or it’s aftermath and emotional problems since 2001. I can proudly say that I do use the Greens Diet to fix whatever ails me or if I need to be on a manageable diet.

In the 5 element theory of Chinese Medicine, colors can help one remember internal organs that we nourish with food. Green (wood) is the liver, generating Red (fire) the heart, generating Yellow (earth), the pancreas,  which now generates White (metal),  the lungs, which in turn generates Black or Blue for (water), the kidneys.  One element generates the next.  I always remember to say that instead of meats which are acidic, try fish or seaweed from the ocean to nourish kidneys.  That fountain of Life is the kidney organ. When we breathe in, it’s our lower back that moves~ where the kidneys are; a breath out is the lungs.  In Chinese medicine, the liver is the General.  The liver holds blood in the body before that the heart circulates.  It assists the pancreas in digesting food.  It also creates energy directing the Lungs in its breathing function.   A breath out is from the lungs.  A breath taken in is when the body pulls up from the lower back, the area of the kidneys.  Whether currently being treated for cancer and most especially when recovering from cancer, we need to eat our greens and if possible organic green so that it is free of cancer-causing pesticides.  Food is medicine. We are what we eat.  Eat fresh, and eat organic.
