| Twittering because beliefs can lead to tragedy September 6, 2009 - For me the saddest thing I've ever seen reported was the mother who bought an expensive, healthy fruit drink for her child, only to have the drink kill her child because it was contaminated with e coli from having been made with fruit that had fallen on the ground and come in contact with animal feces. What makes it so sad for me is that she tried so hard to do the best for her child. She believed the drink was healthy when in fact it was lethal. From being inculcated with Catholicism from an early age, I know that I believe many things that are neither true, nor good for me to believe. It is from this place, then, that I twittered the following about health, health care, and tragic beliefs about what is healthy. |

1. Obamacare hard questions asked http://alturl.com/g2rc2
2. It's life's illusions I recall RT @Shaman777 listening to "Joni Mitchell
- Both Sides, Now" ♫ http://blip.fm/~cxli4
3. The Al Franken video is excellent http://alturl.com/g2rc In it ppl
wearing tea tees ask hard questions that Franken clearly answers
4. When we are taught to believe, then it's really hard to break through
to hear new information, away from the beliefs.
5. We listen only to what we want to hear, facts that aren't in our
desired belief system are all but silenced.
6. Another aspect of Obamacare that's seldom discussed is presented
by Deepak Chopra http://alturl.com/n9nr re needless tests &
procedures
7. Needless tests & procedures http://alturl.com/n9nr are part of our
belief system~Even though many harm more than help, we believe in
them
8. It isn't Christian Republicans alone who believe in needlss tests &
procedures~Changing this 1 belief would b HIGHLY cost effective
Obamacare
9. Re test costs: I had several B12 related tests through my doc
costing $66~A yr later I ordered them; b/c I called them in they were
$600+
10. That is a BIG difference in cost. And, that is apparently the profit
margin.
11. I refused to pay the entire increase. I don't use credit anymore
because if I did I could be made to pay way too much for things.
12. I have accepted that I will have bad credit if I object to
unconscionable costs/profits. So, I don't use credit.
13. If you haven't watched the @Deepak_Chopra video about needless
tests & procedures and their costs, watch it now http://alturl.com/n9nr
14. Costly tests in many cases cannot tell you more than you can know
by simply paying attention to your body
15. You can choose to use a costly test, or you can evaluate common
problems in relation to vitamins and minerals. For instance, numbness
16. Do u have numbness? 1 of many symptoms of low B12~U can get
Methylcobalamin, use it, & when numbness goes away u KNOW low
B12 was the prob.
17. B4 B12 tests were developed, doctors routinely prescribed B12
shots, then if the low B12 symptoms went away, the doctor diagnosed
low B12
18. That was how it was done~So you can do that, you can check a list
of symptoms of low B12~If you have symptoms, use Methylcobalamin
lozenges
19. Further, when new drugs are tested a lot of the drug is used so as
to see if it is effective. When tests on vitamins are done, little is used
20. Vitamin C in small amounts is gd, but not nearly as effective as
when taken in larger doses for actual problems, like infection.
21. Similarly, taking a small amount of B12, say 1,000 mcg a day (that's
1mg) is not going to do much to get rid of a very serious problem
22. Taking small amounts of vitamins is good when you aren't eating a
balanced diet.
23. Taking small amounts of vitamins to reverse serious problems is
silly~It's like dragging your foot out the door of your car to stop it.
24. How much of a vitamin is good 4 you, is something you need 2
discover~Asking your doc is costly & the doc may not give you the right
answer
25. I'm writing this because damage to my nerves has vastly changed
my life. I used to be described as phlegmatic. I was "cool" - but now...
26. Just working on legal things causes my nerves to revert back 2
problems I had whn I had tetanus~A central nervous system disease
27. One reason US spends three times what Japan does per person
on health care is that we love tests, but the Japanese live much longer.
28. If we could replace our love of tests, our belief in misguided beliefs,
with better knowledge of ourselves, we would have better health
29. Anyone looking @ the profit involved in healthcare cannot avoid
seeing that the present debate has much to do with Wealthcare
30. Billionaires for Wealthcare lobby the debate in the direction best for
them NOT us http://alturl.com/kha9
31. I spend about $126/mo on vitamins~This investment stops
depression, numbness, allergies, infections. How much r u paying 4
similar results?
32. RT @JonHutson @chaosfilms Obama organizers & donors are
telling @WhiteHouse 2 fight 4 #publicoption Be heard here http://bit.
ly/13mfVg
33. My LONG series of tweets about health and health care netted me
one new follower who appears to be a REAL person. I'm stoked!
34. It they r already bad, BComplex vitamins can't make them go
away~If just starting, try it RT @Billy_Dickson Alergies... i hate them
35. Did you see his video? http://alturl.com/x27v RT @urbanmaroon
@Deepak_Chopra Love is the ultimate truth at the heart of creation.

36. Well, time to check my brown rice. :-)
37. I just saw the not lrg lizard in my garden. It came right up to me, I
think b/c my Trello shoes are the same color blue as its tail
38. Really cute lizard!!!!
39. Solar heating water 2 do a wash~My non-toxic hose should arrive
this wk~That will b fun!~I was afraid the lizard was going 2 get on the
hose
40. My hands itch since using the black hose with lead in its composition.
