Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 What do you think?Hi everyone - I don't know if this forward will work, but I wanted to make sure that everyone who didn't get this e-mail got to see it. Bill seems to be asking for our " 2 cents " and I know we have plenty! Plus he'll be on the Wayne Brady show today. I hope everyone can catch it or at least tape it! Everyone have a great day! in WI What Do You Think? Hi ! I'm writing you this email on my flight from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. I had a great time in L.A., met a lot of wonderful people, and they shared a lot of great ideas! And we raised over $6,000 for the Armed Forces Relief Fund. Today, Monday, is a travel day. Tomorrow, I am participating in a meeting at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Over two dozen of the nation's most influential doctors and decision makers will be working together at an all-day roundtable meeting. We will be focusing on the issue of childhood obesity treatment and prevention. With nearly four times as many kids suffering from being out of shape today as just 30 years ago, it is clear we must take action NOW! Make no mistake, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services knows this, and they, too, are serious about transforming America's fitness. While in Washington, DC, I will be delivering my report entitled, " The Great American Transformation: People Who are Making a Change and Making a Difference in Our Nation's Health. " Included in the report are the names of all those who participated last year and " donated " pounds of unhealthy bodyfat by following a safe and sound program of exercise and proper nutrition. Each person helped not only improve their own health and fitness but also contributed to the successful achievement of the goal to abolish over a million pounds of unhealthy bodyfat. We made America healthier and also demonstrated that when people work together, toward a common goal, extraordinary results are possible, even probable! I am VERY proud to be presenting this report, on behalf of all of you who participated, to Secretary Tommy of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tomorrow. Before I left Los Angeles, I stopped by to see a friend named Wayne Brady, who's a really nice guy and somewhat of a rising star in Hollywood these days. He has a national TV show-he's very fun and funny! Anyway, I joined him on his show to talk about his own efforts to complete the Body-for-LIFE Program. We got into a pretty good conversation about what to eat and where so many Americans are going wrong. I noticed that the studio audience was very interested in what we were talking about, and they wanted more information and insight. In fact, they asked me questions during commercial breaks and after the show. I got to thinking... There should be a show on TV that is all about being healthy and going strong! A show that is inspiring, uplifting and exciting! A show that addresses the REAL issues involved with becoming more mentally and physically fit. No BS. No fads or frauds. A show that tells the TRUTH about diets and how to really become the healthiest person you can be! I think that is a show America needs. What do you think? Click here to share your insight and opinions. By the way, the show I mentioned above airs tomorrow, the 20th. Click here and then click the " Local Listings " link (in the upper right) for the times in your area. Remember, you can tape or TiVo the show if you're going to be at work or in meetings like I am. After you watch the show, please click here to tell the producers in Hollywood what you think. They really do want to know! I don't think enough people are speaking out about what they want to see on TV and so there is a lot of guessing going on in Tinseltown. Please give them specific input if you care about this topic. For example, do you want to see inspiring real-life success stories on TV each day to motivate and encourage you to make changes for the better? (I know I do!) Who do you think should host the show? Dr. Phil? Oprah? Wayne Brady? Bill ? (I'll do it IF you want me to.) What about scientific experts as guests on the show as well-people who know the facts and can help us keep clear about what works and what doesn't in terms of health and fitness? Please, let me and the producers know what you think! It matters, A LOT! Okay... that's all for now! I will report more news in a few days. For now, take care! Best, Bill P.S. Click here to see where my next two appearances are this week! I love it when people come out and share their success stories and ideas! I hope to meet you sometime soon! © 2004 by High Point Media, LLC. All rights reserved. You are receiving this email because you elected to be on our mailing list.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I think its very convenient for the press to ignore this statement. I think he's wrong to say it wasn't watered down when they counted 1 year olds in their study and used speech/lang problems as endpoints. I think here is a guy as nicely as he can saying --we need more testing b/c its possible, and yet the press/media isn't running that. And there is another crime. jenny -----Original Message-----From: EOHarm [mailto:EOHarm ]On Behalf Of max.walker_verizon_mailSent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 4:34 AMEOHarm Subject: Fw: What do you think?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, Angie I also live in Canada. Your CCAC is probably the same as HomeSupport here in BC? They've cut out meal prep here and want all their clients to use frozen dinners or frozen meals from companies like Better Meals, etc. that deliver to elderly and disabled clients. They are gradually cutting back more and more on anything that isn't personal care. They did this about 3 years ago. Plus they no longer help clients get their groceries. Take care Bye for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Angie, I think it sucks. I have been working in California to try to get one Medicaid eligibility category fixed so that more people with disabilities currently ineligible for health care could get it. (also a member of this list) has worked her butt off to get case workers involved in our reform work. Wow, what an eye- opener! The problems you're describing are indicative of high-level government ineptitude and low-level defeatism. Here, none of the county computers are linked to the state computers, and in larger urban counties the workers have to walk to a different floor or even a different building to simply compare data sets. There are different software programs depending on the county you're in, and neither work correctly...both requiring manual calculations and/or annual data re-entry on the part of the case worker who has a caseload of 350+. Then there's the ignored fight that has been smoldering since this eligibility category was instated: The state argues that it is the responsibility of the counties to train their own staff, and the counties say it's the state's responsibility. So instead of working together to resolve this conflict, no trainings have happened unless they've been initiated and paid for community- based advocates and organizations. The other thing I realized is that most social workers are encouraged to be clerks and are discouraged from being advocates. Hence, bad service for us. Do you know who works on systemic advocacy in your area? They might be able to dive in to the problems and shake things up. Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi there,, YES I DO remember you! When your doc said that you are anemic, WHY is he not prescribing PROCRIT and NEUPOGEN for you ,, they are blood builders that are always given to ppl who become anemic from medications..or dialysis etc,, They NEED to give those to you long long before they reduce your meds and totally blow your chance to reach SVR.. Call your doc tomorrow and request Procrit for your anemia and Neupogen for your low white blood cells... Sheesh, they should already know this.. This is one of the reasons that this group is really good because we HAVE been through this before and know from experience what to ask for..

So if you are feeling tired, this is why. As you may know, these are the components in your blood that carry oxygen. When you are anemic, your heart must beat faster and sometimes you feel short of breath, as your body has to work harder to get oxygen to all the vital places, so this makes you feel tired. Dr. Awasum is hoping that therapy will not need to be changed, but if necessary, he may need to reduce your dose of medication at some point if this becomes a trend.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Oh I know,, I think that the neupogen shots made me ache WORSE than the Interferon,, but do not let your doc lower your dose until he has tried everything else first.. to do that would reduce greatly your chance at SVR and thats what its all about anyway,, right?raggzcutie@... wrote: Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Your doctor doesnt need to lower your meds yet , he does need to get you on some procrit though . what do you think?

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Well, that is quite a stretch...since seems to be confined to the child, I personally do not see a swine flu connection. From everything I've read, other than the cycles, these kids have pretty kick-butt immune systems. What I do know is that they don't know much about , but I've heard it is autoimmune. I too am annoyed with all of the panic. We just recovered from suspected H1N1, so no need for the vax here! I happen to be 9mos pregnant (8 mos at the time of the flu). Yes, I was sick, but I was still able to work from home and still able to function, it really was not that bad. literally had it for 2 days and he woke up one morning perfectly fine, all symptoms gone. He started to show symptoms on a Wednesday night and was back to normal by the weekend. luckily no longer fevers due to T & A, but I had avoided most vax's when he was fevering because they seemed to always bring a nasty fever on. So, I probably still would have avoided the swine flu vax, especially since he has always been very healthy other than his fever cycles. He still is super healthy. He also does not have the chicken pox vax and it went around his daycare and he never got it. I was suprised because the chicken pox is really contagious.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 From what I understand - it's not that our children are immune system comprimised - it's that our children have hyper active immune systems - meaning that they work TOO well. That's what our Ped. Rheum. told us. As far as a pre-exisiting condition I don't know. Strange. Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 The swine flu comment is strange because that's clearly a virus (???). I've been told that is an auto-immune disorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 It doesn't sound logical - my kid never has a virus or any other obvious reason for the fever. That is what makes so odd. Fever, but no reason for it. So I can't see the connection with swine flu or any other flu. Because the fever occurs at almost set times, it can't be set off by a virus (unless the virus happens to come around at set times, but the doctor I went to every three weeks before we knew about could never find anything wrong).

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 My son had horrible looking tonsilles but no ulcers in his mouth. He had the fevers since 3 months old. We never thought to check his throat as an infant. When he could finally tell me his throat hurt at around age 2ish, the Dr finally started to recognize that it might be ...We had his tonsilles removed at age 4 and he has not had another episode. He is now 5 and half. The ENT said his tonsilles were definately the culprit of the . Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
