Hello! I took the exam in July and I felt that it is very difficult. Study

your drugs good. Like brand to generic and what they are used for. I was totally

surprised by the test. I passed the practice test online but I don't feel

that I passed the real exam. I am still waiting for my results! Good luck!

In My opinion I do think that the practice test is somewhat like the real

thing. I took the practice test and passed, then took the Certification test and

passed it also. Good Luck

Hey there Christi!

I’m so glad also to hear of someone

going to this Dr. It makes me feel more

comfortable going to him. I will let you

know how everything goes in a few months.

Good luck with your surgery on the 19th. We will certainly be thinking of you and know

that everything will turn out perfect.

Would love to see pictures!

Hi ! Im so glad my e-mail was helpful. Yes, thats

the same Dr.

Cole that i see. He is wondeful. He is a nice guy

and really wants to

make sure that the end result is exactly what you

want and that

you're happy. He's very caring. I'm sure you'll be

very pleased with

him. I know your little girl is young, but Dr.

Cole is very good with

little ones and i know he'll take extra good care

of her. ;) I hope

everthing goes well and I would love to answer any

questions you have

about him or the surgeries. My next surgery is

next Tuesday, the

19th. Maybe my last.

Its so cool to hear about someone going to see the

same doctor as me!

i know everything will turn out beautifully. ;)

i'll post some

pictures of me as soon as i can, so you can get a

look at his work.

Thanx!

Cat, If you passes the pretest on the PTCB website, then you are very, very

likely to pass the test! That is all I used to study and passed the test

with flying colors! I only had retail experience at the time and it really

wasn't a problem. If you have worked in retail for a year, I wouldn't worry

about it! Ask your pharmacist to help you with the hospital calculations and

don't worry about compounding! Good luck!

Hi everyone,

Being very new to the group, I have a question... where do I

start? There are way too many posts to begin randomly reading. I am

considering taking the test in November and would like help in making

this decision. I have taken the CPhT practice test on www.ptcb.org,

and passed. Painfully, I have trouble with hospital related

questions (as my only experience comes from working in retail

pharmacy). Also, we do very little compounding, so this is a

weakness as well (by very little I mean that I have yet to even see 1

compound mixed in the, almost, year that I have been there).

I have a little over a month to decide whether or not I will be

taking the test. Is the practice test somewhat like the real thing?

Is it safe to assume that since I have passed the practice test that

I have an outstanding chance at passing the real one?

Please reply!

Thanks in advance,

Cat (Pharmacy Tech, Jellico, Tennessee)

What do you mean "hurting" - pain, sharp,dull? spasm? cramps? gas/wind pain? bloating?

I agree with - look out for pathogenic and toxigenic organisms first on the QX, especially related to the digestive tract such as Giardasis, campylobacter, salmonella, clostiridium etc.

If it's spasm then I would check the liver and gallbladder because liver and gallbladder problems will ultimately spread to the gastrointestinal tract and can cause spasm to any part of the GI tract.

Check on digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. What about HCl, enzymes? - so much you can check on the QX relative to digestion.

Be well, Azizah

Dear Barbara,

I just wanted you and others to know that your comparison of the

sample exam on line at PTCB to the actual 'recent' exam is very

important and that I believe it to be a valid comparison. While one

can not equate one's experience to that of another's experience, you

are equating or comparing one experience of your own to another

experience of your own. That is apple to apple, not apple to orange

and therefore it is comparible, valid and usable information.

Last year BEFORE PTCB changed the current sample exam I had many

people post that they felt the old sample exam was easier than the

actual exam that they had taken. The same reports were made on the

PTCB message board as well.

I would be most interested in other people's opinion of the current

sample exam.

Thank you for your valuable input,

Respectfully,

Stomach pain, wow this is about as widespread as headaches. But here goes with some places to start. Every one will have one problem...high Ph levels in the organs. Balance this, Supergreens from innerlight with Prime Ph works fastest. To help with the pain first here are some areas you can do:

1. Test matrix search " stomach (pain or ache) " , " digestive " , " intestine " , Zaps under " miasms " in case it is genetic or from miasms like vaccinations.

2. Disease dictionary for stomach ache.

3. Treatment drop down for Cause/Cure/Palitation (Patient superconsious) type in stomach pain and do the link.

4. Now to Biofeedback you'll find digestion and stomach here in the drop downs.

Now to Treatments:

5. Scalar: Stomach chackra.

6. Spinal page:

A. Short sarcode: check the digestion areas double click if high.

B. Timed therapies: Do digestion, and intestinal stim for at least 7 minutes (click the corresponding parts which are bothering or showed up on the test matrix)

C. You will see a button by bone, nerve, sinus etc. that says " digestion " when you bring it up it will tell you what the #1 concern is again you can do it for 7 min. should you so choose.

D. Spinal look for nerval compressions or subluxations in the thoracic regions, this can cause all types of stomach problems

E. Dental to References to Iridology, Reflexology, etc. to " Ear & etc. " , for large and small intestine, double click on each word to find the area of concern and why. Go to " Misc., Rx " to work on Digestion the same way.

7. Timed therapies and Superlearning. Go to Timed therapies and do digestion here (don't forget to piggy back here to do pain)

If there are any places you need explanations for, you can contact Quantum-Life at www.quantum-life.com <http://www.quantum-life.com> for my manual. 'Reaching Your Full Potential'.

Now that you dealt with the symptoms look for a connection that caused it... Stomach aches usually have a corresponding area.

1. Headaches, both will cause a lack of oxygen watch the VARHO for the oxygen then watch for pathogens and worms.

2. Check Test matrix for Bacteria, type in ulcer and click " search " , if these are high you have another possible connection. Start them on L-Glutamine and a stomach digestive enzyme (without protease, it will aggravate ulcers). You will find this therapy wise with ALL stomach problems. L-Glut. lines the intestines while they heal.

3. Emotional (NLP) watch for " holding on " issues

4. Inflammation and bloating. Check for fungus and Candida.

5. Food allergies, watch for the immune system and autonomic system (sympathetic / parasympathetic) these problems will relate to both food allergies and stomach issues.

6. Intestinal irritation (cron's, diverticulitis, prolapses) also, get them to stay off nuts, seeds, iceburg lettuce, fats like gravy until it is healed.

Well this should get you started, hope it helps.

Yours in Health,

Kathy

Glad you are ok, . You can always replace the car not people. There is

one rule I always remember because I was in many accidents as a young person.

The rule is that lots of people break the driving rules. Drive defensively. I

see so many people go thru stop signs or red lights. I became a better driver

Dear Chris:

I can relate to the pain you are feeling with your dad. My mother had COPD for

at least

30 years prior to her death and slowly developed Dementia over the last 10 years

or so of her life. I took over her affairs a couple of years before she passed

but had been taking care of her either in her home or in mine for a lot longer.

My mother was a strong, opinion driven person as opposed to my quieter, lets see

what we can do ways and I should have taken over long before I did because there

was damage done to her affairs before I even realized it. This is a judgment

call because some people develop the effects of the Dementia faster than others.

My mother was in denial on that besides the COPD so she was not easy to work

with. As long as your dad (and sister) are communicating, things will work out

for you. I was alone in dealing with my mother and she had always been the

aggressive and take control person and I was used to taking her directives.

Once I realized I had to take action, things went better. She fought me every

step of the way but once I took over, her

protests were just that and I always did my best to make things easier for her.

It must be very hard on a person to realize that everything is slipping away

from you and you have no control of it. Every situation is different as there

are many, many forms of Dementia and studying and researching is the best and

first step you must take. Speaking for myself and many of our RA family, you

will have support, positive thoughts, compassion, spiritual, and availability

from our group to help you through the worst of times and the best. Hang in

there (our friend Tess' often quote), you are not alone.

Sending angels, offering prayers, and (((((hugs))))). Love spoken here.

Where in Illinois does he live? I'm near St. Louis, Missouri, about 1 1/2 hours

south of Springfield, Illinois. We have some wonderful resources in our area.

If they are nearby, please contact me personally and I'll pass along the info.

One of my preschool children in my daycare goes to church and preschool at a

local church that offers a variety of senior program, from homebound care to

adult daycare. You might want to search out the Department of Aging also. I

believe it's a national website with referrals to the state.

My mother is in the beginning stages of dementia. She is 82 and was very much

like your mother. She lived with us for 5 years after heart surgery and a bone

infection (I had to do IV's on her at home for 2 months after her surgery). We

moved her out last year to a local senior complex. We had to because my family

could not continue on with her in our home. It was too stressful for all of us

and I got to the point I could not even stand to be in the same room with her.

We keep a close watch on her but it's easier not having her right here 24 hours

a day. I wish I had taken control of her finances years ago (my dad was an

invalid for 25 years before he died in 1997). I am an only child so I have it

all to deal with. I think that is probably why I have four children. I joke

with them that I had four so they could all pass me around every 3 months! My

mother gambled a lot of her money away. She and my dad were very wealthy and

now I just hope she has enough money to make it through for her bare

necessities. We have been buying her groceries and things that she can't afford.

Watch your mother's finances carefully if you can. I suspect my mother also

gave some money away to some " kind " neighbors at a previous apartment she lived

in before my dad died. Also suspect she lost a big chunk in Las Vegas. I

really regret we didn't step in sooner but when we tried she accused us of

trying to take her money. Sometimes the elderly with dementia give away money

to their friends (the ones who use them) by hiding the money in books and

magazines and sneaking it out. They also like to hide money in pockets and sew

money in linings of coats. I pray you don't go through this but wanted to warn

you of some of the things. Also, she might turn on you and you will be the

target for everything bad, like she hates you. It doesn't always happen but be

prepared in case it does. Just know that is not the same person inside anymore.

Becky.........this is so true. I don't know why so many in the different stages

of Dementia have this urge to hand their money not only to " kind neighbors " but

complete strangers. And the accusations do fly if you question anything. My

mother let a mooching couple that had mooched off her several years before move

into her house without letting me know until after they were in. Because of the

laws being the way they are, it took me over six months to get them out after

she died with eviction notices, court hearing and the marshalls. During the

time they were in the house, by law, I had to continue paying all the bills for

them because the utilities and phone and gardener were in place before when they

" moved in " and completed a 30 day residency making them official " tenants. " The

July and August before, I had put quite a bit of money into the house fixing it

up because my mother had neglected it for nearly 15 years. They moved right in

and it took me until the following late

spring to get them out and in the meantime, they destroyed the house including

the new carpeting and it had to be refurbished again before the house could be

put on the market. They also had 3 massive German Shepard's that destroyed the

yard plus two kids and were on welfare. They tried to convince the judge that

my mother had given them permission to live there until the kids were grown (5

and 8). I often wonder if the Dementia was contagious to them and they caught

it. The clincher was when I found out they were trying to get her to write up a

will. I put a stop to that real quick and was able to have a friend from my

church who was an attorney visit her and was able to get her to draw up a Living

Trust and it was signed by her in the hospital just day before she died. I

don't know why it was so but the attorney told me that it was a good thing

because what these people had done about a will could have meant that everything

could have been lost to me and my daughters. Just

be vigilant and make sure things like this don't happen when a family member

begins to have problems with their memories. And you are right, the person you

are dealing with is not the person you have known all your life.

protests were just that and I always did my best to make things easier for

her. It must be very hard on a person to realize that everything is slipping

away from you and you have no control of it. Every situation is different as

there are many, many forms of Dementia and studying and researching is the best

and first step you must take. Speaking for myself and many of our RA family,

you will have support, positive thoughts, compassion, spiritual, and

availability from our group to help you through the worst of times and the best.

Hang in there (our friend Tess' often quote), you are not alone.

Sending angels, offering prayers, and (((((hugs))))). Love spoken here.

its RA... WHAT!!!!! can you believe this!!!!! So I'm feeling back to

square one with not knowing what is going on... oh yes..he did say...

something is going on... auto immune is up... so something..

Anyone.. off me for a min... found out my dad has dementia.. I have

suspected this for some time now.. My grandmother (his mom) also had

this. Now get this...the doctor really didn't want to do the

testing,and told my dad that everything was ok... but told my sister

and I that he had a few small strokes, and dementia, also the brain

is shrinking. I felt he needed to know this... I remember watching my

grandmother go down hill and know that my dad needs to get some

things in order before he can't do a thing. This is so hard.. Dad

lives in Illinois and I'm in ND. My sister is not far away, but I

don't feel she is asking the right questions.. I feel so helpless

right now..have to do research on this one and find out what if

anything can be done and what to expect and when..

Thanks for the ear...and I just wanted to let you all know what was

going on with me and I am sorry I have not gotten on line too much ...

God bless all of you..

Dear Dennis,

My husband had the same symptoms that you are experiencing. He got his

shots back in '98 and a couple of weeks after his 3rd shot experienced the

same symptoms. I had to rush him to the hospital on several occasions,

thinking he was having heart attack because he had such severe chest pains.

His temperature also reached 105 degrees. Anyway, it has been a long hard

battle. The doctors at Womack Army Hospital would never acknowledge his

illness was related to the shots. They even did a biopsy on his lymph nodes

thinking he had cancer. He was in and out of the hospital and eventually

went to Walter . To make a long story short, the military basically

gave him a false diagnosis of CMV and that was that. After about 5 to 6

months he started to get better but has still had problems over the years.

Every so often he will go through periods where he will have the same

symptoms. It can last anywhere from 1- 2 days to 2 weeks. It has been an

uphill battle. He got out of the military and we have been fighting the VA

for over 4 years. We had to go to Washington to the Board of Appeals. He

recently got 40% disability for a service connected illness and they did

state his illness was caused by the Anthrax. The most important thing you

can do is keep copies of all your medical records. We were fortunate enough

to have a nurse tell us that and we were able to keep all copies of his

medical records including his shot records with the Lot# for the

Vaccination. Continue to get your Congressman and Senators involved. We

went through that process. We also had to pay out of our own pocket for him

to see civilian doctors to back up our case. And we also couldn't have done

it without the testimony of Redmond Handy, who testified at my husband's

hearing in Washington. This will be a long, hard battle but do not give

up!

AIDS-related? What a crock of shit. If you buy into the virus myth anything

bad is AIDS-related and anything good is the progress of modern medicine.

People have restored and maintained perfect health despite an HIV/AIDS

sentence.

Yes once again I too am guilty of jumping the gun ...... when the newsweek

article came out - I forwarded the link to all I know...... THEN I read it

and had to go back and explain to all those I sent the link to - that the

article does NOT represent the Autism I know about!

That'll teach me....

(unknown)

I was somewhat excited to hear that Newsweek was going to have an

article on Autism. I even told my students parents to check it out.

Now I am kinda kicking myself about telling them to check it out. I

was angered, dumbfounded, and confused by the article. I currently

have 4 children in my class (3 are severe autism), I refuse to think

that they have chosen to act like this. It's amazing what some people

can publish and get away with.
