Ha! A valiant effort! Did SWMBO roll her eyes? (I got
me one too. The more they love you, the bossier they get.)

I was eating healthy, organic stuff when I had all those strokes.

Organic "healthy carbs" (there is no such thing) gave me Diabetes.

Get your homocysteine checked. Nag, Nag, Nag.
We're enrolled in the only five star Medicare Advantage Plan in the
United States, Kelsey-Seybold. They take good care of us. I'm in the
middle of a prolonged nuclear testing for my heart, it is a PITA but
might help with some of the health problems I have.


I have Kaiser-Permanente which is supposedly a 5 start Medicare
Advantage Plan...they treat me very well


I have heard that said several places before.

The big issue is that Big Med is now the number one killer (Death
by medical), not heart disease. Big Med just admitted that
hospital infections are now the number three killer. So, when
do your use them and when to avoid them is the big question.

They have saved my life three times so far. I don't want to
die of a hospital infection like my two in-laws or of punctured
colon from a scan probe, as did one of my customer's mothers,
or a bleed out from rat poison, as did another customers mother,
etc. etc. etc.

So when to use them and when to avoid them? The Er doctor who
diagnosed me with T2 was dead accurate on all his recommendations
(he also was the the one who saved my life twice). The GP I went
to, withheld information and I don't think he had clue other
that drugs and carbs.

So how to avoid walking in and being carried out in a bag?

There is a lot of fraud in Beg Med: cholesterol testing, flue
shot, acid blockers, rat poison, drugs and carbs (T2) yada,
yada, yada. Seems to me you are lucky if you find an allopath
that "heals" rather than gets rich off of "treating". I do
know one. :-)



I've been carrying diabetes around since the early nineties and had my
first heart attack even earlier than that. It all comes from eating the
white man's food. Luckily I have a grandson who hunts so we get venison,
wild pig, etc. occasionally.



The main thing that has kept me alive so long is being suspicious. When
we moved back to Texas in 2012 I had what had seemed to be a pretty good
SS Medicare Advantage Plan. The first trigger was the foreign doctor who
talked to his nurse about my health and she typed it into a laptop. I
finally broke into his conversation and asked him to speak to me, not
the aide. He was irate that I would speak to him and said so. I got up
walked out, didn't pay my part of the visit and told him I wasn't coming
back and didn't. Luckily I had not problems with my health for the last
part of December 2012 and moved over to Kelsey-Seybold. I've had a
couple of dud doctors with them but they didn't last long. My personal
physician is a pretty good guy and laid back and damn the appointment
time if you need to talk. Most of the other specialists are the same and
you can quickly suss out the duds because no one wants to go to them and
they don't last long.

We don't live long if we're stupid enough to put up with dud doctors
from some third world country. That being said I've had a couple of good
doctors from a third world country but I'm cautious about them anyway.

Today I spent to much time in the sunshine rigging netting over the fig
tree to keep the !@##% mockingbird's eating our figs. The mockingbird is
the state bird of Texas so I can't ping them with the air gun. I had to
go in the house and stand under a cold shower until I got cooled down
and that ain't a pretty sight. G
