The Menacing Mathematics of Multiple Meds

2006-12-15T16:10:00.000-08:00

By Gary Craig

There's something scary about drugs that concerns a growing number of physicians and should wobble the knees of every patient on the planet. It's obvious to any mathematician but somehow has escaped the general scrutiny of the health industry.

It has to do with combining meds.

Ever since I can remember I have been fed the perception that drugs are governmentally evaluated and thus are safe if taken under the guidance of competent physicians. However, even if we accept the presumed safety for the ingestion of one drug, we must ask ourselves how might that safety change if we take multiple drugs?

For safety assurances, proper testing should be done for every drug combination we are advised to take. If we take Prozac and Tylenol, for example, we should be presented with all the possible benefits and consequences before allowing these two foreign substances to mix with the chemicals our bodies already create. Same thing goes for combining Paxil with Viagra or Interferon with Lipitor.

The list of possible problems here is monstrously long because there are a b'zillion drugs and mega b'zillions of combinations. Nonetheless, I've never seen or heard of any studies that test any of these combinations ... have you?

Thus, if you take two drugs, the odds of their combination having been adequately tested for safety are skimpy at best. But if you take 3 or more drugs the danger possibilities multiply even faster.

Here's how the mathematics work: If you take 3 drugs then adequate safety testing of the various combinations require 7 separate tests. If you take 4 drugs the combinations require 25 separate tests. If you take 5 drugs it amounts to 121 tests. If you take 10 drugs the number of required safety tests total 362,881.

The conclusion here should be obvious. Namely, there is questionable safety testing if you take 2 drugs and nominal, if any, safety testing if you take 3. Beyond that you are clearly into the land of, "I have no idea what these combinations of drugs will do."

To me, this tosses our dedicated docs into a tenuous position. They have patients with problems who aren't willing to exercise, eat right, do EFT for emotional issues www.emofree.com or much of anything else to help their own health. Instead, the patients hope the physicians will produce a magic pill (or pills) to make their problems go away.

I have met many patients who are on several drugs and take some drugs to counteract the effects of other drugs. As a non-physician I look at this with a shudder. These folks are being fed chemical cocktails with little or no safety testing behind the combinations. Maybe I need some help with my perceptions here but, to me, they are playing drug roulette.

I don't know if lawyers have picked up on the simple, but compelling, math here. But I do know that I wouldn't want to be a doctor in court facing these clear facts.

In the 15+ years I have been involved in the health field, I have had the good fortune to count many physicians as my personal friends. With few exceptions, they agree that it is our lifestyles, diets and emotional stresses that cause most of our health problems ... and ... the vast majority of these problems would vanish if people would live common sense lives. Yet patients repeatedly abuse their bodies and ask for more and more "miracle drugs" as the convenient solution. I don't envy the docs at all as I often hear them complain that this is a highway to NobodyWinsVille.

Maybe what we really need are good salespeople to persuade folks to take care of themselves. I suspect that, if truly persuasive, they would do more good than the ocean of drugs at our disposal.

Love, Gary

Here is an Excellent Income Opportunity For Everyone

2006-12-01T17:16:00.000-08:00

Free is too expensive... Own the Internet!

This is AGLOCO™ 's proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!

How does this work? Once you sign up on their website, when available you will be able to download the Viewbar software, a free toolbar-sized application (half the size of a traditional Windows tool bar) that quietly sits on your desktop without ever hampering your online habits. That’s all you need to do! Just continue using the Internet as you used to… no need to change your habits!

Do you have several individuals using one computer? You can have different AGLOCO™ viewbars to fit the profile of each user.

Don’t want to see or use the Viewbar at any given time? Just minimize it and the Viewbar stops working!

There are different ways AGLOCO™ can make money for its Members:

Cash: You get cash by surfing the Internet while the Viewbar is running. AGLOCO™ ’s profits are distributed back to its Members. And you can also receive real-time discounts should you choose to purchase from AGLOCO™ ’s partners. They will never include gambling or adult entertainment sites as partners.

Shares: In addition to cash, AGLOCO™ will give out shares in the company to its Members. Eventually, AGLOCO™ plans to go public and will be traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM. You can start earning stock options by keeping Viewbar active while you surf. In addition, you will gain extra shares by referring active users to AGLOCO™ (they lose nothing). Click the link below to see the calculator.

The more people join AGLOCO™ , the more value the community can generate for itself. The company believes those that build the community deserve more: your own profits become larger the more people you refer. You can accumulate hours not only from your Internet activity but also from those who you refer, and their referrals too… Up to 5 levels underneath you! For example, if you refer 10 people and all of them refer 5 people each, you could make over 7000 shares a month*!

Remember, this is all free, you don’t lose anything, all you have to do is sign up, download the Viewbar and that’s it. Build your network and refer friends, family and colleagues to AGLOCO™ and earn even more!

The guys behind this idea include several Stanford MBA’s and a few individuals who started AllAdvantage back in 1998, which gave over $100 million to its users before falling victim to the burst of the internet bubble. Today, the context is much more favorable: The sophistication of on-line commerce, the rapid emergence of communities, the wealth of advertising revenue sources, etc. Isn’t it time you got your share of the Internet?

Don't wait any longer. This is a win-win opportunity, and you’ll make it even more profitable for yourself when you start referring friends and relatives before others get to them!

Quantum Physics Double Slit Experiment - What The Bleep Movie

2006-09-06T17:52:00.000-07:00

In physics, wave-particle duality holds that light and matter can exhibit properties of both waves and of particles. It is a central concept of quantum physics.

Through the work of Albert Einstein, Louis de Broglie and many others, it is now established that small objects, such as atoms, have both wave and particle nature, and that quantum mechanics provides the over-arching theory resolving this apparent paradox.

What is Quantum Physics?

2006-09-06T17:21:00.000-07:00

And what could it possibly have to do with achieving success?

What is all the excitement about Quantum Physics?

Why should anyone interested in self-help, personal development or success even be remotely interested in the subject?

All the above are excellent questions.

I hope my answers are sufficient to peak your curiosity and get you motivated to do some investigating on your own.

In the previous post today I have inserted a quick 5 minute (or so) video that provides an excellent explanation of how Quantum Physics works. I think you will find it very interesting, to say the least.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” ~Wayne Dwyer~

In the last five years or so, I have learned how we are all responsible for creating our own reality. I have read some of the most recent science based research on how our non-conscious brain functions and how we form our beliefs and habits.

Learning about Quantum Physics and the Law of Attraction were the final pieces of the puzzle regarding how we create our reality either by default with our subconscious on auto-pilot – or – we create the life we dream about through the conscious effort to change the direction of our minds and realize we are truly capable of enjoying the life of our dreams.

What Is Quantum Physics?

Quantum Physics has shown that everything in the Universe is one energy. We are all connected to each other and to Infinite Intelligence.

Nothing in this Universe is separate except as an illusion created by ego and our five senses.

Even the possessions we believed to be solid such as your home, furniture or car are in fact made up of Quantum Energy vibrating at extremely high levels in and out of the object you are observing.

What Does This Have To Do With Your Success?

Once you have a solid understanding of Quantum Physics, you will also understand that everything in your life, whether you believe it to be good or bad, is the result of your “observation” of problems or lack in your life.

When you change your focus to what you desire instead of what you don’t have, you will begin to manifest your desires immediately.

Don’t misunderstand, you may not see them materially show up immediately, but your belief in the manifestation will begin to bring about the opportunities or events necessary to realize your dreams in your current reality.

This is such an exciting subject to think and write about. The possibilities are endless.

There are those who are much more qualified and experienced in providing the proper information about the subject as I am merely a novice on an exciting Quantum Physics learning path right now.

My first exposure to Quantum Physics was through the CD course by Dr Robert Anthony called Know How To Be Rich where he easily explains how to manifest your dreams. I listened to these CD’s over and over picking up bits of new information with every exposure.

I can pretty much guarantee if you keep your mind open to the possibilities and listen with a curious interest, you will learn much more than you bargained for.

I am now experiencing a much happier and exciting life from the knowledge shared by Dr. Robert Anthony and I am deeply grateful for his work.

In case you have never heard of Dr. Robert Anthony he is the author of several best-selling books, one of them being “Beyond Positive Thinking.”

If you have ever wondered why your life is not exactly as you would like it to be, then I urge you to open your mind and check out Quanutm Physics and see for yourself how you can create the life you previously may have believed was only available to the lucky few.

All the best,
Gene

Personal development isn't only about how much money you make. To become a well rounded individual, you should acquire other interests as well.

With this in mind, here are links to a few other blogs that you might find interesting. If they peak your curiosity, great. If not, just trying to help.

The first two relate to health oriented interests and are as follows:

The next three blogs are for those interested in producing income:

The last three are related to personal interests which you may or may not have. Worth at least taking a look, right?

Hope you find some of these interesting.

Can a Woman Really Do a Man's Job?

2006-08-22T16:33:00.000-07:00

What is your reaction to this question?

I listened intently to a discussion on this very subject today. I thought it would be a great topic to stimulate your "grey matter" and get you searching for your feelings.

Now, before you read any more of this blog, I would like you to take a few minutes and think about your position on this question. Jot down a few notes and then come back to finish reading my comments - OK.

Ready now?

Okay, let's start with a female's point of view.

The way I see it there will be women who believe they can do a "man's job" just as well if not better than many men.

There will also be many women who believe there are jobs better suited for women and other jobs better suited for men.

Now for the man's point of view:

Many men may believe the woman's place is in the kitchen or taking care of the kids. They feel women should continue doing jobs they are capable of doing and suited for.

Other men will have the opinion that women are just as capable as men and should be welcomed in any position.

Where do you stand on this question? What does this have to do with personal development anyway?

As I listened to numerous individuals giving their opinions both for and against women taking on jobs traditionally held by men, a few thoughts kept pounding away at the conscious level.

My first thought was how angry others get when someone expresses their opinion. I am of the belief that everyone is entitled to their opinion. If I disagree with them, I am happy to give them the opportunity to sway me with logical discussion.

I was amazed at how strongly some people held on to their beliefs and refuse to accept any alternatives.

I am reminded of the analogy of the tree that bends with the wind remains rooted.

The second thought that occurred to me is how important it is for us to keep a journal and record our beliefs. This is the only way we can see what makes us tick. With an understanding of our current beliefs can we make decisions on which ones support our life and which ones hinder our progress.

The third and most important thought occurring to me is that "we are only limited by our beliefs."

Simply, if we believe we can do something, then for sure, we will do it.

It is no longer a question of gender. It is no longer a question of whether something is a man's job or a woman's job. It is now merely a question of whether you can do it or not.

When I look at all the media hype about the "challenge of the sexes" I question whether these reporters have any idea of the potential of the human mind in this century. Notice I said "human mind" and not a man's or woman's mind.

I respect everyone's opinion regarding the question of what a woman is capable of doing or suited to do. I realize some women will be threatened by another women who can perform as well as a man. I also understand some men are threatened when a woman does anything traditionally believed to be exclusively limited to men.

In this age, many women have become extremely successful in positions previously believed to be for men only.

It is interesting to listen to comments from fellow males when a female race car driver wins an event, or someone like Michelle Wie competes in a "man's" golf tournament.

It is also very intriguing to hear the opposing comments from the females. Some are proud of women who excel and others may choose to put these women down.

Realize this subject is a great way to get inside your mind, examine your beliefs, grow and change in what ever way makes you happy.

Nothing in life is either good or bad. It is only your thinking that makes it so.

Personally, I choose to embrace the concept that anyone can achieve great things in this lifetime.

I raised my daughter to be self-reliant. I am proud of her in so many ways. She is feminine and beautiful, yet she had the fortitude to go out and buy her own home and undertake all the necessary interior renovations on her own.

She was educated to believe in herself, her abilities and the enormous potential available to anyone who believes it to be there for the taking.

Have you now learned something about yourself?

Assuming you wrote out your response as I requested, then read the rest of this blog, I can only hope I have opened your eyes to the huge range of possibilities that exist for you.

My intent is not to sway you to believe one way or another whether a woman can do a man's job. Rather, my intent is only to get you thinking, understanding yourself a little better and perhaps even becoming aware of any self-limiting beliefs that may be stopping you.

A great habit to acquire is consciously catching your thoughts and beliefs and recording them in a journal. Look at them with interest. Realize these beliefs are what shape your life. These beliefs either empower you to succeed or stop you cold in your tracks and fill your consciousness with fear, doubt, worry and anxiety.

Nothing in life exists without first having the thought. Nothing!

Post your comments and share your thoughts with others. Your opinions are not right or wrong - they are merely your opinions and you are entitled to them.

That's it for today.

Regards,
Gene

Living Without Resistance

2006-08-08T03:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I was reminded of a lesson we all need to constantly be reminded of. I spent most of the day in a foul mood and couldn't figure out why. Then it dawned on me I was resisting some bad news about the automotive industry lay offs. (I live in city dominated by the Big Three car manufacturers)

For some reason, I slipped into my old way of thinking and began fearing the worst - poverty.

There is absolutely no reason for me to even worry about poverty, but I obviously had self-limiting blocks to remove.

If you are familiar with "The Laws of Attraction" or "Quantum Physics" you may understand we attract more of whatever we focus on; even when it is something we don't want.

When we resist anything, we are effectively focusing on what we don't want and ultimately attract more of the lack into our reality.

Resistance is the by far one of the most severe energy drains a human can experience. All one has to do is look at those walking around tired and drained, even after a good nights sleep.

Resisting what we don't want in life uses up a great deal of our energy. This is exactly what was happening to me, I was getting tired and lethargic and my attitude was starting to change negatively.

When we resist we create fear, anger, worry, anxiety and a host of other negative emotional reactions.

I don't think it is humanly possible to successfully eliminate resistance 100% of the time, rather it is much more effective to catch your self-limiting beliefs as they occur and acknowledge them.

When anything is exposed it loses its power of you. Merely by acknowledging, you are exposing.

Once you catch these negative self-limiting, self-sabotaging thoughts or feelings I find it extremely helpful to release any emotional attachment.

Next time your day is not going as well as you would like, try to remember this post and realize you might be resisting.

Hope this explains the effect of "resisting" and next time you encounter it, simply say to yourself "Oh, this is interesting" and then use some form of releasing to further destroy any negative attraction.

All the best,
Gene

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

2006-08-04T18:46:00.000-07:00

Before I talk about emotional freedom techniques, allow me to give you some preliminary information regarding how the human brain functions.

We are programmed by default to fail and unless we do something to change this programming we will continue to fail.

Our ancient ancestors’ DNA is passed down through the ages and resides in the subconscious area of our brain, known as the limbic system (also referred to as our “Neanderthal Brain”)

Early man (forgive me ladies, this means you too) learned quickly to look for anything that was “wrong." Their very survival was dependant on being able to see danger and fight if there was a chance to win or flee to safety. (Now recognized as the “fight or flight” syndrome)

The second “problem” is that throughout our early childhood we were programmed by our primary caregivers (usually parents) with all their fears, phobias, worries, habits and beliefs.

Now this programming, along with our will to remain safe (passed on through DNA) runs on auto-pilot in the subconscious. If we do nothing to change we will continue experiencing the same reality over and over.

It is possible to effect permanent change and reprogram our brains, but I believe the starting point in any personal development program is to permanently remove the blocks that stop you.

What is Emotional Freedom?

Gary Craig, the founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) explains that our mind and body carry an emotional attachment to beliefs, habits, memories, thoughts, etc. and when we are triggered by an outside stimulus it brings back all the negatives. (Gary says this is like an electrical zzzzzttt)

Using Gary’s technique, you do a series of tapping while repeating certain words and this releases the emotional attachment to the memory and frees you from the emotional block.

I admit, I thought at first this was a cruel joke. After downloading the free manual and attempting to quit smoking I easily gave up.

Over a two year period I kept reading and hearing about some very affluent individuals who not only used EFT but credited much of their success was the result of learning how to let go of unwanted blocks.

I finally gave in and ordered two different sets of DVD’s and anxiously waited for their arrival. Once in hand, I spent hours a day for the next two weeks watching the DVD’s and witnessing the amazing, often instant results the participants achieved dealing with fear of snakes, water phobias, fear of heights, rape victims and many, many more actual cases.

What really impressed me was his work with war veterans who had post traumatic stress syndrome and previously were unsuccessful in removing their fears after nearly 25 years of therapy. Gary eliminated these fears sometimes in a matter of minutes.

You will still retain the memory (the subconscious records and stores everything) but you will no longer feel the attachment.

Now, I use EFT daily. Anytime I feel nervous or anxious or have the slightest fear I tap. Their motto is “use it on everything.” You can use it for headaches, problems with your body and health, anger, pain, anxiety, fears and on and on and on.

If you have any desire to change your life for the better and eliminate the drama I highly recommend you go to the website and read about EFT, download the free manual and please read the article archives for additional info.

If you have never been exposed to EFT, this is one program you definitely should at least be curious enough to check out.
