Preface: The 2017-07 Addendum. INDEX

This section has become necessary and potentially constructive as I am still alive as of July 20, 2017.

In early November, 2016, the dramatic and demanding nature of my symptoms and the consistent and complete abandonment by the British Columbia healthcare system left me with the obvious rational expectation that I would die, soon. However, as consistently, doing my best by working with the direction of God, I have coped, and survived.

An ADDENDUM has been added (separate document) with LINKS between this minimally revised original and the Addendum. This will make it easier for recipients who have received the earlier 2016-11-11 version to become aware of the additional information without having to read through and search through the earlier document.

Subjects and issues explored in the Addendum include these:

• Changes in Symptoms since 2016-11-11.

• Skills: Significant personal training and experiences which have, and continue to enable me to stay alive.

•  

I do NOT focus daily on my health symptoms or challenges. That would induce depression, depair, inactivity.
As I learned early to do with problems ... I recognize the problem and confirm it with Prayer. I research what would be the best involvement, including Prayer in the assessment. I undertake that participation. I acknowledge that I am finished with what can be presently done. I leave health concerns aside. I get on with living life as best I can, again, with Prayer.

This Addendum, like the few similar Reports, was typed out in a short period of hours or days.
Prayer decided its content and order. There was no or minimal editing. There were no diary notes or other preparation detail assembled or maintained beforehand. I don't have the time, energy, or selfish attitude to focus on the negative.

Like anyone with a strong Spiritual belief, I have no fear of death.
Death, for me, means reuniting with God in a heavenly existence (compared to how we have trashed the Earth).
My only concern is that I have effected whatever Missions God has invited me to effect. When those are done, or when human created challenges have destroyed my body ... I will, with Reverence, leave.

Hopefully, you and others will benefit from this Report .. for your own health enhancement and that of potentially many others.

Overview: A 10 year history. INDEX

This report has been composed in an effort to assist me and others to obtain earlier, accurate medical diagnoses such that we, as patients, and doctors, as diagnosticians, and, technicians, as operators and processors ... can more effectively and efficiently resolve problems and provide solutions with the least cost and effort. It is often easiest to waste time, effort, and resources by taking shortcuts.

The first version of this document was sent out 2016-10-25.
The court case against the B.C. Government began 2016-11-08. I learned of it 2016-11-10.
Several days BEFORE the court case began, I had begun to complete this, 2016-11-11 version.
Completion depends upon effort. With my illness symptoms, I was working at 10% ability.

My name is John R. Sennett.
I was born December 9, 1945, in Newmarket, province of Ontario, Canada.
I moved to the province of British Columbia, Canada, from the province of Ontario in mid-2003.
Later in 2003, while preparing to restart a Counselling business, I became chronically ill.
I had been consistently successful at personally enhancing my health multiple times previously.
After 2 years of personal expense, delayed income, and medical inadequacy, I demanded help.

I was sent to a doctor, termed the BC specialist for my condition/symptoms in late 2005.
He informed me, with NO medical tests, after a 20 minute interview, that I would NEVER recover.
His best ameliorative suggestions were to take some herbal remedies I had already tested.
I fully recovered in late 2008, after discovering a new therapy, pioneered in England.
During 2012 to early 2016, I often worked 60 to 70 hour work weeks in a volunteer position researching and working with conflicted political groups to present peaceful resolution and prevent the murder of thousands of civilians. Medical difficulties have almost totally curtailed my efforts since February, 2016.

In 2005, I began reporting to British Columbia doctors TWO medical symptoms.
Over the past 10 years, these originally minor symptoms have continued to grow in intensity and lifestyle disruption. They have threatened my life on an almost daily basis for the past 3-1/2 years. I have repeatedly requested help from a number of BC Health doctors. I have offered them summaries to date, this is not the first, to assist in their diagnosis, request for tests, and solution. Consistently, the response by BC Health agents has been to minimize, delay, deny, worsen, and frustrate both my recovery and my ability to work and lead a more balanced lifestyle.

There was, for 3 years, a positive side-effect of the symptoms, which enabled me to effect an amount of positive influence on political realities which I would not earlier have considered possible. This "benefit" has long since been overrun by the expanding demands of the symptoms. The response of BC Health is that they will do something when I have a condition which is acute enough to kill me. Death of the patient is a positive to a political healthcare driven service. A dead person is "cured"! They no longer require, request, or demand tests, procedures, diagnostic abilities, hospital stays, medications, medical follow-ups (rare) and time away from work ... which all impacts the provincial healthcare expenditures and tax income revenue. Politicians behave as if they are fixated upon EXPENDITURES exclusive of Revenue.

Perhaps, as a PROFESSIONAL doctor, journalist, or other healthcare interested person or organization .. you can assist me in reaching recovery, or, in the event of my untimely death, encourage other citizens to reach these realities:
NOTE: My CONTACT information is in my covering e-mail.

1. YOU/WE are responsible for your/our personal health.
Looking to medical agents to rescue you from lifestyle and environmental health destroying factors is a political deception fueled by the fantasy of mass media imprinting of the ideal of the healthcare hero. I have consistently found, for 70 years, that such heroes DO exist, almost always, OUTSIDE of the MEDICAL industry, in Canada, and often elsewhere. They are available at ADDED cost to the patient, either quietly aside from the politically sanctioned and bureaucratically supported infrastructure, and/or, can be accessed temporarily in other than one's home province, or, in another nation such as China, Cuba, India, Mexico, and parts of the USA.

2. The MYTH of Universal Healthcare impressed upon the citizenry by the mass media and political groups in Canada, like all myths, is an Idealistic projection of an intended fantasy. It has NEVER been a reality, to the extent purveyed and expected, and never will be. The reality is that it is a 2-tier system. In one practice, many doctors and some politicians, and their families, receive priority cost excepted care at least 10 times more influential and timely that the average patient. A second reality is that those persons who can FINANCIALLY afford to leave the country and pay for the travel, fees, and accommodation of EFFECTIVE healthcare make that CHOICE, and, often recover from their ailments. If you don't have the money or assets or prestige of position .. prepare for a short- (acute) or long-term (chronic) progression towards poverty, lifestyle minimization, increased self-care costs, and death.

3. The REALITY will NOT change. Deal with it.
The reality is based upon political relationships and patterns which have existed since bands grouped into tribes. As population densities and global numbers have increased, leaders and authority structures have become necessary to provide a confidence in the possibility of orderliness in the chaos of conflicted self-interests. With the introduction of over-population, agriculture, slavery, profit, and economy arrived all of the variations of deception, manipulation, and abuse/disrespect/bullying which frustrate most human relationships and interactions, globally, today.

There have been, continue to be presented anew daily, many INTENTIONS for change and renewal. With 1% making a Significant effort in this direction, 60% waiting for everyone else to effect the changes for them to benefit from, and 20% actively continuing to Significantly WORSEN the realities of inequality, conflict, and illness ... 19% complete the dynamic with despair, depression, addiction, animosity. In such a community, one's only Hope of Effective and Timely healthcare is to find a PROFESSIONAL, either at home or abroad, AND, become as aware of your PERSONAL health requirements to the degree of your abilities.

   (&&) Pain coping techniques were learned, during the early 1980's, from a significant many months experience of continuous intense pain, following a SEVERE whiplash injury, resistant to any medication. These behavioural responses can best be understood as a combination of progressive relaxation routines (which increase a person's endorphin presence), and, self-hypnotic denial.

   As the ABOVE symptoms became more intense and acute, a period presented in which fungal plugs formed at the exit of the small intestine, in response to the peristaltic paralysis .. and were expelled with the daily enema flushes. A side effect of fungal overgrowth can be an unintentional self-medication with the fungal product of alcohol. This constant inoculation frequently increases one's denial of pain and can also decrease one's overall expression of any intense emotion (many of which are considered destructive ... hate, vengeance, violence, depression, guilt, lust, greed). This combined, consistent, overall response makes it deceptive for the individual to declare to their health provider that they are in constant pain, which they have no conscious awareness of, yet which may be betrayed by non-verbal movements (grimaces, eye squinting, sighs, distraction). A positive result of these dynamics is that it makes it easier for the individual to experience a strong spiritual state, if one is so inclined and motivated.

   These pain responses are rarely expressed by patients.
   Of those few with the experience, many are neither self-aware nor health oriented.
   Thus, the medical community is almost totally unaware of this potential development and reality and will almost always disbelieve and minimize any attempt to describe it. This makes any meaningful diagnoses even much more difficult to find or make.
   
   

   (XX) HORMONES are produced within the normal function of many organs including the Colon.
   The colon, and its flora, must have ingredients/resources/foods to produce these hormones.
   A significant amount of Testosterone is produced in the Colon, supplementing the Testes.
   This is how both male and female humans have a testosterone resource; just more in males.
   No supplemental testosterone production, and, fungal alcohol production = minimal libido.

   A colon hormone (Peptide YY) inhibits food desire, sense of hunger, and satiety of diet.
   Removing this NORMAL ingredient and function through minimal use of the colon could result in one being unable to feel "full" regardless of how much has been eaten. A body confused and distracted by other symptoms could result in the association between empty stomach and "hunger" becoming dissociated.

   SLEEP is partially mandated by the production and availability of Melatonin .. a hormone produced in the Colon, or, NOT produced in an empty colon.

1. Denial of History.
   If one has never had any of the common endemic illnesses (high blood pressure, diabetes, ...), and no symptoms have been reported indicative of them, perhaps an annual test for them is wasteful. Yet, I have seldom been to a doctor without this set of inexpensive, meaningless (for me) tests being run. We know that the doctor gets a fee for every test authorized. And, for the province and the medical community, it provides lots of paperwork, statistics, and the suggestion that much work is being done. And, surely, work must mean benefit for the patient and stakeholder. It's a rational, intellectual BRIBE. It is like going to a shareholder's meeting where the attendees are given a portfolio itemizing all the investments made on their behalf, and, a loonie. The balance sheet demonstrates that year after year expenses rise, met by greater investments. Corporate debt may be increasing and there has NEVER been DIVIDENDS declared on the shares. They are frequently spoken of in abstract, idealistic, political terms. No description of the SPECIFICS is given regarding the Benefits (Effectiveness of the Service).

   You are not supposed to ask QUESTIONS, it seems.
   You are not the accountant nor are you presumed to be economically experienced.
   How dare you DOUBT the owners and managers who are sacrificing themselves for your benefit?
   How could you not TRUST them? There is an important point I learned about Trust from decades of experience in working with tens of thousands of prospects, clients, employers, and partners. Trust no one who has not and does not continue to demonstrate to you that they deserve trust by their openness, honesty, humility, assertiveness, consistency. Trusting ANYONE else is placing your Confidence in an illusion and inviting others to deceive and manipulate you.
   
   

   If a person who has been given the AUTHORITY and Power to moderate and empower your health and ability to be employed and maintain constructive relationships indicates that YOUR experiences, and the consistency/inconsistency of your health statistics .. are unimportant, you are on your own. You would be best to get going on discerning EVERYTHING that can be influential to YOUR health, and/or, making enough of an income and building an asset base to afford INDEPENDENT medical advice, which may include travelling to another COUNTRY for EFFECTIVE and Timely treatment.

   It was a shock to me to discover, sometime later, that a clinic doctor who worked long-term in an Emergency Department, had written a doctor-to-doctor assessment of me which included the statement that I was paranoid" because I took an interest in my health and was making a sincere effort to avoid continuing to be disabled and unable to work. The fact was that he was annoyed because he could not GUESS a solution to my medical problem and I was unwilling to become his test bench for drug experimentations to determine if he could guess which one or selection of pharmaceuticals would impose a cure. Comments such as that tend to influence other doctors, who do access the profile constructed within the institution, and assume, that others who have FAILED you must be correct in their assessment simply because they are doctors. If I had been paranoid, I would have taken an ambulance to the hospital 7 days a week until now. This FORM of service isn't about history and reality; it is about opinion, prejudice, abuse, and incompetence.
   
   

2. Assumption of Uniformity. INDEX
   Running the SAME set of minimally diagnostic tests for EVERYONE assumes that everyone is either unhealthy, or, the normal health of everyone is the same. Patients of different ages, genders, racial backgrounds, and other factors frequently have different indicators of Normality according to their group. This assumption justifies insensitivity, quick scans of diagnostic tests, all-or-nothing guesses, delayed or denied treatment, and, the increase of healthcare costs for preventable chronic medical conditions, preventable accidents, preventable deaths, and, preventable loss of income, assets, and payment of taxes.

   A CT Scan can be skimmed in 45 seconds or MAJOR inconsistencies, whereas some long-term (decades) imaging diagnosticians recommend 45 MINUTES with the goal of determining the COLLECTIVE influence of potentially many smaller factors .. devastating in total, although insignificant singly. ANY test can be minimized in health relevancy and treatment justification. My wife was being treated in the province of Ontario for a low functioning thyroid problem in 2002, BEFORE we moved to British Columbia. After a year of searching for and waiting for access to a doctor in the area we lived in, her new MD ran the "same" tests that had previously supported her prescription treatment intended to delay, and possibly correct, her thyroid dysfunction. Her test results continued to WORSEN, yet, the BC doctor neither continued her Ontario prescription nor advised of any other alternative. After several years of non-action, and with increasing concerns, my wife more pointedly enquired why no PREVENTIVE action was being ALLOWED. The doctor admitted that the British Columbia policy for treatment of low thyroid function was to "DO NOTHING until it is surgically removed, as non-functioning ... and then supplement, for the reminder of life, with hormone replacements." This strategy has been criticized, by the medical community, based on scientific studies, as inherently cancer enhancing. In the interim, we found non-pharmaceutical means to assist the thyroid function, and she continues to improve.

   In a politically controlled healthcare system, test variable thresholds indicating "acceptable" ranges beyond which intervention (drugs, supplements, surgery, other treatment) is sanctioned are often expressed as "Guidelines" which persons with a technician's attitude (most doctors) will perceive of and translate into "Laws". And we know what happens to your job and lifestyle when you break the law! The significance here, is that Guidelines" can be changed VERBALLY and OFTEN, whereas laws are semi-permanent and require much effort and discussion (often by invested parties) before any change is made. Favored, or privileged patients (discussed elsewhere) may have the benefit of such Guidelines being "relaxed" for them, and any other bystander patients, for a short interval. And, if the medical system neither understands, nor can politically fund (no leadership) an endemic difficult-to-treat healthcare problem, it can simply be denied. It can be a little scary when you find that the medical staff believe the myth (they have been taught) while it seems that everyone OUTSIDE the country (Canada, in this case), who have a more EFFECTIVE healthcare service, knows of this fallacy, have their own treatment protocol for it ... based upon DECADES of Published scientific research.
   
   

3. Contraindications for Pharmaceuticals.
   Taking specific drugs or specific nutritional supplements with other medications can result in side effects which are worse, even life threatening to the patient than the original concern. A doctor asking about BOTH what supplements and which pharmaceuticals the patient might be taking would seem to be a prudent step in symptom diagnosis, and, drug prescribing. Yet, I have seldom had a doctor in Ontario or the province of British Columbia, in a clinic, doctor's office, hospital, or emergency department ask me for these particulars ... especially if they are prescribing a new-to-me pharmaceutical or antibiotic.

   As a side comment, I was prescribed antibiotics numerous times in my first 40 years of life without EVER being advised to take the prescription for the full term noted. Like many other patients have reported, I typically took the drug until the symptoms disappeared ... perhaps 6 days out of a recommended 10. Not that long ago, the medical industry caught up with reality with the reporting that taking an antibiotic for too short a duration could, and did with some patients, result in the immune system of the patient building a defense against the antibiotic. I did develop an "allergy" to penicillin, at one point. I later reversed this back to normal by means which I discovered.
   
   

   With a search, a patient can find WHERE to report any side-effects to any drugs they have been prescribed. I have NEVER had any doctor in ANY province prescribe a drug for me and ask me to report any problem symptoms to them. Neither when they prescribed the drug nor when they saw me in a future appointment. No doctor has ever called me after I began taking a medication to confirm that all was OK. When I did tell several doctors of SIGNIFICANT reactions I had experienced to drugs they had prescribed, they made no notes, submitted no reports of same, and did not inform me of WHERE I could report these. I wonder how accurate the national database is of reported side effects for drugs. Where and how do they even receive their reports? I have never met a patient who has ever reported a drug side effect, nor knows where they might, nor has any motivation to do so.

   It really should not be of any surprise that as many Canadians die from misprescriptions every year as the MEDICAL community reports. Many prescription drugs that I have been exposed to over 70 years exhibit the same potential side effects as they are intended to relieve. The side effects of some drugs are inherent in their manufacture. Most patients, and doctors, haven't a clue as to HOW the drugs they take and prescribe are made. I took a drug for a time in the mid-1990's. Many of the side effects were identical to that of many viruses. Some tablets/doses appeared to be more "toxic" than others. I did some research. At first, the manufacturer was protective of their manufacturing particulars. It was the early age of the Internet. Enthused and encouraged by the naivety of the time, more revealing data appeared online ... if you found where to look. A year later, it disappeared. It was too revealing. Here are some of the particulars.

   A specifically gene modified hoard of laboratory mice were grown who could produce a large amount of the brain neurotransmitter. When at optimum maturity for greatest concentration of the hormone, they were killed and the neurotransmitter was extracted from them. This, plus some binders, was fashioned into a pill and sold on the market, available only by prescription. It was eventually discovered that there was a little downside to this process and medication. The genetically modified mice were susceptible to a virus. There was no way in which the virus could be diagnosed in individual mice or in lots. They were CARRIERS and essentially symptom free. During the manufacturing process, there was no procedure found which could remove the virus ... so some batches carried the virus, less or more, by pill.

   After ten or more years and a transfer to a licensee for manufacture, it appears that the RECENT version of the drug, marketed under another name, may be, for the most part, without the virus. The virus, if present is fully transferable to humans. If you get it, you will have a significant headache, sweats, muscle aches, and a stomach upset for a few days. During that time, you will be susceptible to picking up mycotoxins. A similar reality is shared by many drugs. You will never hear it. The drug companies will never share it. And, your government representatives will never demand its being revealed ... because, how can they demand what they don't know exists.

   
   
   

4. An Assembly Line Sensitivity. INDEX
   People are not cattle, bred from a specific and chosen, artificially inseminated genetic base.
   They are not raised in a controlled environment feedlot, fed uniform diets of foodstuffs of minimal variation. Their exercise and movements are not contained within fences, barns, and stalls. They are not uniformly hyper-injected with antibiotics and hormones to accelerate their growth. They are not gathered together into truckloads and trainloads and shipped to abattoirs where they are murdered and slashed apart .. for the greater good. THAT is assembly line life. Each individual shares a similar background, life experience, nutritional level, and, a one-size-fits-all medical diagnostic regime is easily justified.

   Humans are not so fortunate.
   Humans rarely have their genetic blueprint chosen for them by their future "owners".
   Humans are only limited in the locations they reside in, work in, and travel between by their exposure to, reward for, and ability to accumulate the resources to enable them to walk, run, ride, or drive distances beyond their home. Each of those changes of location includes its own ecology ... lifeforms, including diseases, parasites, pollutants, risks. And, while political systems and medical institutions may attempt to inject their populations uniformly with a "safe" level of vaccines and antibiotics, individuals and their parents have a degree of choice in the participation process. Particularly in mass, dense population groupings, individuals increasingly have access to and a choice of foodstuffs from local and foreign countries, genetically modified and conventional plant stocks, and, foods which may irregularly carry toxic bacteria, heavy metal poisons, and plant viruses capable of transfer to humans.

   Stepping into, or crawling into, a Canadian (British Columbia or Ontario province, in my experience) physician's office, healthcare clinic, or emergency department quickly becomes an assembly line experience. First, one is slotted into whichever assembly line is identified by one, or maybe two, symptoms. Secondly, if a history is taken, qualifying terms such as "weekly, daily, increasingly, sometimes" are quickly transcribed into "always". Thirdly, if one is not "quietly" bleeding, moaning, fainting, or expressing some other form of distress (loss of self-control), they are relegated to "not very important". Perhaps not last, but eventual, any PERSONAL health findings, requests, and confusion are ignored in favor of the "if we can drug, burn, splint, radiate, inject, or stitch it ... you are either OK, or, go back to your doctor (who you may be trying to escape).
   
   

   A personal experience coincident with my basic private funded training for an early career as a Customer Service Engineer ... to maintain, diagnose and repair mainframe and minicomputers ... proved to prepare me for greater success in the discovery of problems and their resolution. I had purchased my first car from my father. It was 4 years old, and knowing my dad, I knew first-hand that it had been used with care, well maintained, and had required few service calls. After less than a month driving to and from my daily course, a significant problem presented. EVERY morning, when I went out to set off to work, the car could not be started. Not even a groan. Fortunately, I had membership in an emergency auto service association or the repetitive towing fees that were to come would have been quite a hardship.

   The first morning, the car would not start, I called the auto road service; they came and boosted the battery charge. Started, I was off on my 45 minute drive to arrive late for the course. Second day, not starting again. This time the weather was poor with either snow or rain. The auto road service took more than an hour to arrive. Boosted again, I was off and away. Later, I almost didn't get the car to start for the homeward trip. Third day, not starting. Got a tow to a reputable station with a long history of maintenance and repair in a frequented location. The serviceperson there did an "emergency" analysis, after an hour's wait, ... it was a busy morning for them, replaced the battery ($$) and labor ($$), as a likely or obvious failure cause guess. It took even longer than a simple device replacement as the new battery had to be prepared with solution and charged. Away I go, later still than before. Fourth day, not starting again. How is this possible when it was just fixed, with certainty!
   
   

   Towed back to the station.
   Now, they are more busy. I take public transit 2 hours one way to arrive even later at training. Later, 3 hours return and I reach too late to retrieve the car, almost. An urgent call and someone returns to the station. I drive the car home. Fifth day, not starting. This is getting VERY annoying. Another tow. More waiting. The service staff, now a team effort, decide the problem must be the alternator. They replace that ($$) with labor ($$). I get a boost and I am away again. Sixth day, not a buzz. Another tow and I am running out of membership covered tows. Back at the station, someone eventually, with reflection, gets the bright idea to replace the regulator. It must be that. There is no other DEVICE in the electricity path.

   Replaced ($$) and ($$). Late again.
   The seventh day, Sunday, I walk to church. Just as well as the auto service garage was closed on Sundays. Monday morning, I go out early to start the car, just in case. It is DEAD, again. Back to the garage. I am a bit angry at that point. I got to speak with the manager, who might be the owner. 90 minutes later, he got out the electrical system test meter and began tracing through the wires and connectors. In 15 minutes, or less, he found the problem. There was a small actuator in the TRUNK that turned OFF the trunk light when the trunk lid was CLOSED. Somehow, perhaps when something was tightly loaded into the trunk, the actuator base, measuring 1/2 inch square, must have been bumped and bent ... just enough, so that the light NEVER went out. That left the battery discharging, ever so slowly, 24/7. The base was reformed to its original position. Requirement: a multimeter to test the circuit at various points, an inexpensive pair of pliers, a minor reforming of a piece of metal, and 20 minutes or less.
   
   

   Expense: 8 DAYS, 5 times late to training, many HOURS on public transport, the purchase ($$$$$$) and installation ($$$$$$) of 3 DEVICES (that ultimately, the originals were shown to be working fine), and a considerable amount of frustration. I asked the service manager if they could either take the new devices back which had been used to replace good/healthy ones. No, and they had already discarded some of the original devices, which were NOT in need of repair. Nor could he credit me anything for the excessive labor costs, almost entirely the result of an inability of his staff to perform BASIC troubleshooting. I didn't consider asking at that time about the possibility of some financial allowance for all of the time that I had lost through needless delays, traveling, and lateness to training. Sounds like a provincially funded healthcare system medical emergency department, and, what a patient is best to do to survive.

   What I learned was to ALWAYS observe, diagnose by testing for a repeat of the problem, listen to the operator for any contributing diagnostic valuable details, effect the repair or adjustment, retest. I didn't know it at the time, yet the unconscious memory of this EXPERIENCE led to my being the best at resolving problems, human and hardware, in the large company I worked for for 7 years. After the above experience, I learned, more and more, how a car works, how to do ALL of my own repairs and maintenance, excepting the brakes, and to benefit from my own sense of professionalism ... with lower costs, less time wasted, and greater self-satisfaction. Overall, in my future careers, I solved problems faster than peers, often with ONE visit, and usually with high customer satisfaction. Wouldn't that be a healthcare record to respect?
   
   

5. What do you expect me to do?
   I have a sense of commonality with a Donald Finch of Florida, who died at age 32 of undiagnosed causes.
   Dr. Jan Garavaglia, who was the Chief Medical Examiner with Florida's District Nine Medical Examiner's office in Orlando, Florida received his body for examination and that was partly recorded and shared with the public in a TV series featuring herself and her occupation. Medical examiners were previously termed coroners. They are retained by the state or province to determine if the deceased person died as a result of an accident, homicide, disease, or some other major factor. In British Columbia, medical examiners are hired by the province and follow the directives of their employer. According to their website, they only categorize deaths according to the above noted factors. Medical error or responsibility are NOT reportable reasons, further insulating doctors from learning and responsibility in that anyone considered to be under a doctor's care is not given an autopsy. Privately, one may pay about $3500 to have an autopsy performed, but, doctor or medical system responsibility are off-limit options for cause.

   Donald Finch was found to have a fecal impaction within his bowel.
   His bowel tissue had been expanded/filled almost to the bursting point ... which Dr. G. termed "the size of a football". When the bowel was cut open, she reported that the odor was stronger and more objectionable than a rotting body in the same room. Dr. G. presumed that such a condition would present with great pain. She found no twists in the intestines which would halt fecal movement. Nor was there any sign of tumor, cancer, or other obstruction. He had not appeared to have experienced ANY of the common symptoms of Ecoli infection: diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pains. Why had he not gone to a doctor for assistance? While Ecoli had, eventually, diffused out of the intestine into the bloodstream, it was not considered to be the cause of his death, nor, the cause of the impaction. Perhaps he had gone to his doctor, and paid.
   
   

   While I have been reporting symptoms that began in 2005 as non-acute, and usually non-dramatic ... over the years, particularly after 2011, the size of my abdomen began to expand, and my small intestine abruptly failed to release its contents without physical manipulation. I know the large intestine was NOT the problem as I could initially wash out that area with almost no content except, perhaps a fungal plug. Enema syringing enough water in, and holding long enough until the appropriate internal sphincter-valve released always released a solution of bile and moderate sized packets of stool with a most strong odor. In escalating steps of difficulty, it later became necessary to infuse larger quantities of water, hold it longer, and, physically manipulate the valves externally into releasing. Perhaps because of my earlier learned skill of dulling pain, I seldom experienced more than momentary pain, even though my abdominal tissues were obviously being stretched beyond normal. I reported my concern about these INTENSIFYING developments to my doctor at least once or twice per year. The response was usually a blank stare, a statement of "What do you expect me to do?", or, a change of subject. Perhaps Donald Finch also went to a doctor, and his concerns were ignored.

   Dr. G. never determined what had caused the stool to stop and impact Mr Finch's intestines. It is not clear from the description if the impaction was in the large, or the small intestine. A possibility which medical and biological scientists have neither researched or studied is that of demonstrated transmutation of the bowel tissues by GMO (genetically modified). The viability of this occurrence was well documented in India and Pakistan when GMO crops were introduced. Exposed to the resulting plants, as feed, for less than 24 HOURS resulted in a 100% mortality of water buffalo. They seemed to lose their sense of satiety and keep eating, with their bowels not releasing, until they died of impaction. GMO seed purveyors are mega-corporations who have been able to quieten the media from much of any reporting of these and other similar incidents. An oversimplified manner of explanation of how GMO foods kill pests is this:

   Add a gene from an alternate lifeform into the plant you want protected from pests. Add a virus into the plant as well, perhaps from the pest you want to target. The pest eats the modified food. When the plant tissue reaches the gut of the pest (i.e. an insect), the accompanying virus acts as a transfer agent to insert the non-plant and non-insect gene into the gut tissue of the insect. A plant "gut" has a cycle of digestion which involves CONTINUOUS intake of sugars/calories. An alligator-reptile has a digestive system which SLOWS digestion and affords elimination of waste as infrequently as once in a YEAR. Insects have a more frequent assimilation and elimination pattern to humans and mammals.

   Change PARTS of the insect gut into plant constant intake, and reptile long-term retention ... and the insect literally kills itself by eating food which is not satisfying nor the waste of which its genetically modified body can eliminate. Perhaps the same can happen to humans under particular circumstances. To confirm or deny, one would have to examine biopsies from a small intestine in dysfunction like mine, or that of Donald Finch. An epidemic may slow develop in which people quietly die of undiagnosable reasons.

   
   
   

6. Quality of Diagnosis sacrificed for political stability. INDEX
   A patient, named Don Maddocks, and his wife Nora sought medical help from their doctor in resolving Don's symptoms of discomfort and infection. His BC Health doctor referred him to a urologist who prescribed pharmaceuticals, and with encouragement, ordered a CT SCAN. The results diagnostically poor. Requesting a second opinion, Don's doctor told it would be many months before he would access to another specialist. Soon into an Emergency Department, the urologist there advocated surgery. That done, there were no improvements. Adding to the disaster, Don contracted Clostridium Difficile (a serious intestinal infection) while in the hospital ... though it was NOT treated in the hospital.

   Next, Don was diagnosed with MSRA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a deadly super-bug, also from his hospital stay. Refused admittance back into and care within a hospital and denied medical assistance in his home recovery, Nora took over his medical care. With the primary infection still undiagnosed by BC Health, Don and Nora decided to get a private sourced MRI. Within days, Don's medical problems were accurately diagnosed and he had surgery, spoken of as life saving. This experience was reported in an Image One 2004 newsletter who were providing privately funded MRI Diagnostic Imaging services in Kelowna, British Columbia. It is not unusual.
   
   

   All government funded provincial healthcare services, in my experience, offer their surgeons and specialists the opportunity, or restriction, of working only several days a week piling in a string of rushed patients on their "Active" days. In the province of Ontario, during the 1990's, I was scheduled into surgery with 16 other patients for a minor throat surgery. The surgeon decided to effect a few other "corrections" while the area was prepared for surgery, even though I had not been advised about them of given permission. I was to be thankful for the additional benefits. I was released from hospital the same day with no medications or follow-up. Within a few hours of reaching home, I was coughing up a third of a cup of phlegm every 20 MINUTES. Back to the hospital .. Emergency Department. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a severe infection from the surgery ward. The staff found it difficult to believe that I had NOT been given preventive antibiotics immediately after the surgery, and more to continue at home ... a reportedly "normal" post-operative procedure. After TWO full days of recovery in the hospital, I was discharged.

   While in the hospital, one of my ward mates was a man in his 60's who had been admitted for a bladder infection. He was complaining that he was not being allowed to stay long enough to regain his health. This was the THIRD time he had been readmitted into the hospital with the SAME acute infection in 4 days. After another 8 hours, he was sent home again. He died 2 or 3 days later, I later found out. He had labored with and died of an acute INFECTION, which ANY hospital anywhere, suitably equipped could have resolved with TIME and Attention. Those were COSTS which the provincial healthcare administration could not allow their doctors to foist on them. Accidents, multiplied costs, great suffering, and deaths are often the cause of sacrificing Quality for Quantity. How many patients within a duration at the lowest service and resources cost often results in HIGHER summary costs, poor healthcare, personal tragedy, and a conversion of doctors and other medical staff from sincere and empathetic professionals into apparent sociopathic, self-concerned technicians performing dissociated procedures on bodies. All for the government; nil for the people.
   
   

7. When in doubt, Ignore.
   "Every Person Matters" is the core belief in the centre of the Strategic Direction diagram pictured in the "Health Services Guide 2016." In my experience, this is a fantasy projected by a deceptive owner who chooses to Control and restrain for the benefit of its favourable image in the eyes of the shareholders, the taxpayers and healthcare participants .. including both doctors, patients, and support staff. If every person matters, the reality is that they matter according to how they are accepted into the infrastructure. Restrictions on professionalism coerce doctors and nurses to become technicians ... actors given responsibility without authority. They make a show of authority, yet, the availability of resources and the appropriateness of their training are minimized by budget set to glorify the political system, not serve the public.

   The demonstrated structure of the guidelines and practices sanctioned invite the use of privilege and abuse in who receives how much care and when. The owner-employee organizational structure subverts a healthcare service into a political front for a factory that processes injured persons into patched up members, older patients into pharma drugged dependents, chronically ill into resigned disabled, and, the privileged into proud commanders. This is an environment which cannot be centered on empathy, equality, and balance. It is a disaster which has happened yet seeks to hide the truth behind media who have sold their soul for advertising revenue and politicians whose lust for power and acceptance is worth self-deception behind imaginative slogans and promises which their support bureaucracy sabotage. There is no freedom of choice for honesty, openness, and sincerity. Follow orders and be thankful. Be proud to be seen to be helping others. Impose your ignorance and misperceptions on others because you can, or because it is the norm ... and then blame those others for the errors you make. When in doubt, ignore the pleas of those who ask you to stretch beyond the minimum.
   
   

8. Do it MY way, or, you are abandoned. INDEX
   Only in British Columbia have I experienced this so entirely, and consistently.
   I went to the provincial "authority" on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
   After NO tests, a questionnaire and a short conversation, he assessed "I would never recover".
   He did suggest some herbals I had already used, with no benefit.
   He did offer pharmaceuticals for "maintenance".
   Based on my personal research, I declined.
   His "confidential" report to my physician was that I was "aversive" to medical help.
   THREE years later, I recovered, partly by using a pharmaceutical rarely available in Canada.
   My singular B.C. available doctor, has consistently NEVER suggested pharmaceuticals to me, although, I have specifically requested pharmaceuticals on THREE occasions. No Problem no tests; no explanation needed. I could show that another doctor in another province had earlier prescribed them. That was authority enough. Easy to transfer the responsibility, or, avoid it.

   For my 10-year MEDICAL difficulties, in the early stages, I had experiences to develop my discernment regarding prescribing and pharmaceuticals. Before a local physician became available (willing to take new patients), I went to a clinic. The doctor there glanced at a scalp irregularity I had and prescribed an antibiotic, with NO tests, on the assumption that it "looked" like what he had seen on several patients, likely 30 to 40 years younger than I. I expressed caution about using a fungal medication when I had recently "recovered" from a systemic fungal disease. No cares. As noted elsewhere, that prescription severely DAMAGED my health.
   
   

   A few years later, I was continuing to be aggravated my a chronic scalp condition.
   I requested referral to a specialist. I was referred to a dermatologist.
   He took a 2 second glance at my chickenpox-like marked scalp and handed me a small tube of antifungal creme and a prescription for an antifungal. I tried the creme. It had No influence whatsoever. With no tests, I wasn't risking another dramatic incident with a prescription to repeat my earlier experience. For persons who have had intense fungal problems there are uniform symptoms which quite accurately indicate the presence of a fungal problem. This was unlike that. For those who have had acute bacterial infections, there is also a set of largely uniform symptoms. Those were not expressed here.

   Try as I might, with doctor or specialist ... each was compulsively driven to diagnose whatever I had, with no tests, against my personal awareness and cautions, and with little ... let's be truthful .. NO REGARD for how dangerous to my health their automatic responses could be. It was clear. Each had their own favored one-size-fits-all solution and if I was going to come to them for a diagnosis I would only receive their routine solution. And, if they made a significant prescribing error, they were confident that B.C. Health could be persuaded to disregard any patient complaints on the basis that the patient was "not cooperative" and "difficult".
   
   

9. Ignore DEMAND; serve according to political restrictions.
   In the province of British Columbia and many other provinces, there are long WAIT times for diagnostic procedures, corrective surgeries, and appointments to see specialists. On one level, how can an employer attract Professional-attitude staff with a record of good training and an intensive use of and development of their skills by the offer of a high salary to work a minimum number of hours per week. And if naive to be hired, how can they retain such a specialist if ALL of the patients seen are "difficult" because they have been WAITING for 18 months, in debilitating pain ... and find that he is only ALLOWED to work 2 or 3 days per week. One simple answer is that the specialist leaves ASAP for a posting in (hopefully) another COUNTRY with perhaps lower income yet a higher job satisfaction and skill development. Another simple answer is that they are manipulated / brainwashed into becoming technicians who consider financial reward and social respect a fair exchange for following mind numbing routines.

   The explanation given to me directly and recently (2016) my a young doctor on locum (temporary assignment) was that the province only had an (inadequate budget). Someone (a bureaucrat) would calculate and assign a chart of HOW MANY of each kind of surgery, diagnostic test, kind of test, and, work load of each specialist ... they could afford. In some form, it would be impressed upon the doctors and specialist that only this number could be covered for the year ... only so many averaged per month. If the membership (patients) didn't present in these numbers, then the number of requests would have to be DELAYED. of course, the sincere practitioner might make an effort to push their relative, or a patient they empathized with, ahead of the masses. If their manipulation was discovered, they might be warned with termination for a second infringement. But then, who is going to tell on them. After the first incident and a warning, they would be sure to increase their skill at "getting around" the guidelines.

   When "democratic" political systems repeatedly PROMISE "Every Person Matters" quality healthcare in a mass media television serial and movie half-century imprinting of an attitude of deserved perfect healthcare, and find that the reality of quality stops at fixing cuts, and medicating everything else ... they will be unhappy. In another country, there might be massive demonstrations, political coups, or other forms of rebelliousness. We are in Canada, the home of refugees from war-torn and poverty stricken regions globally. We have learned to run to calm and order, to do our work, have our families, and shut up. We don't get angry and act out. Like most of our American neighbours, our dominant reported MEDICAL ailment is DEPRESSION, followed up by despair, anxiety, and increasingly .. addictions to drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, pornography, relationship breakdown. If we have to WAIT, that must be all that we deserve and the best that can be made available.
   
   

10. Let someone else take the Responsibility. INDEX
    In any Authority structure and bureaucratic organization there are ALWAYS tactics for AVOIDING Responsibility. Some people given the Power of decision making, budget control, defining guidelines, providing training ... often delegate the TASKS necessary to administrate (manage), perform (technician/clerk), deliver (service/educate) ... the prospect, client, patient, or, buyer. Frequently, an "understanding" develops in which the DELEGATED representative is expected to act AS IF they have been given the Authority of their manager/chief (Owner). If anything is FOUND to have gone in a direction that was unintended, the least Power-full individual or department is often assessed to have been responsible. Yet, did they have the POWER to have made any changes. And, did they have the Authority to use that Power.

    Several years ago (2015) within a span of 2 weeks, I asked two B.C. Health doctors, unknown to each other, a different questions each. I wanted answers to both questions. Each had the capacity, according to their known references, to provide answers, with Authority. Each responded with the same phrase, "That's not my area of expertise." It would appear that this was a new phrase to each. I knew each from a different situation and had known each for 3 and 5 years. Neither offered to put me in contact with anyone else connected with B.C. Health, whether they be a doctor, like themselves, or, a specialist. Neither made any attempt to answer the MEDICAL question posed to them. It was too coincidental for each to have picked up a phrase ... or thought it up, independently. It also was not an extension of how each usually phrased their answers. That strongly suggests that someone IN COMMAND had impressed it upon all or most doctors as a way to sidestep sincerity, commitment, professionalism, and focus on avoiding responsibility, minimizing medical care costs, and, distancing oneself from a potential or current patient.
    
    

    My doctor, and most doctors, in my experience, have a quiver full of "Justification" arrows.
    You can always stay safe in an Authority-dominated employment position by taking actions and "making" decisions based upon the naming of others as experts, sources, alternate sanctioned professions, as authors of scientific studies, or, as doctors who previously prescribed the same drug or practice for the patient focused upon. That is, if I was a doctor employed by a non-medical organization owner or officer, much as doctors in a provincially (government) funded healthcare infrastructure are, I could justify my prescribing of tests, drugs, therapies, or the denial of such, on the previous or current action or recommendation of a pharmacist, politically sanctioned organization, a peer, a medical specialist also employed by B.C. Health, or, the author of a "scientific" research article or medical reference volume who has been openly acknowledged as "expert" by B.C. Health. If my patient dies or becomes critically ill directly due to the use of the "prescription" I have signed off on, I can justify my actions, as both INNOCENT, and, Professional based upon the sanctioned sources I used to make the decision.

    This form of orphan authorization, which could also be termed "educated" expertise has been a common misuse of authority in so-called scientific studies since the beginning of government sponsored scientific research. In the past ten years, since 2006, there have been a number of Founders and "leaders" of critical medical, psychological, and sociological research "findings" who have admitted to, or have been found to have used made up or tampered with statistics to "prove" results which were then used until almost the present, without question. Other researchers and academics, and many professors, piggybacked their reports and finding on these early fraudulent ones to justify drug uses and surgical procedures which overall yielded negative or inconclusive results. The lives of a great many people were worsened by such medical efforts, and, the provision of much educational funding and academically centred research were wasted in efforts to replicate, corroborate, or, with newly tampered reports justify the early findings and the subsequent decisions for action or inaction.
    
    

    Respect for a patient reduced to that of a research animal on a laboratory assembly line is perhaps NOT how any sincere, honest, caring HUMAN service can be effectively and efficiently provided. Performing an INTIMATE service which can maintain, or improve, the health and interaction and employment viability of a person with the concern level of the choice of one parking space rather than another is sociopathic. It demands the same level of personal concern as those with a technician attitude loaded politically deemed misfits unto trains and shipped them to detention camps in which their numbers became so great from the success of the program that the quiet disappearance of large numbers through poison gas euthanasia and the cremation of their corpses became an acceptable and necessary "solution". The same is true for the millions of persons found guilty of rationalised crimes and sent to die in Soviet Gulag work camps. And, the same is true of the young unemployed in some countries being hired like mercenaries to travel abroad and murder and torture civilians in support of the pride and pocketbooks of a relative few of politicians and armaments merchants. Human life is worth nothing when those who can destroy it, by command or by fraud, make decisions that bring and sustain pain and abandonment ... because someone else tells them it is ACCEPTABLE.
    
    

11. Stereotypes make the job so much easier. INDEX
    When there is a consistency of attitude and behavior within an easily definable group, and, an emphasis on the cult of Authority ... it becomes easy, almost automatic to perceive ALL persons who share that APPEARANCE as the same. The reality may be that as few as 40% of that perceived grouping, and as many as 80%, DO share those characteristics. That leaves between 60% and 20% who do not. Persons in an established and reinforced environment of AUTHORITY frequently believe that reality is only 2-valued (right/wrong, black/white, good/bad, important/unimportant, mine/yours). Every value and every evaluation becomes ABSOLUTE, fixed, certain, confident, unable to be challenged. In high stress environments in which an Attitude of Urgency (war zone) is both real, imposed, and, rewarded ... quick absolute decisions made with the least of information, are often (not always) the norm. Emergency Departments in provincially funded healthcare facilities are susceptible to such a perception twisting dynamic.

    Those ailments for which the ER staff are most trained REACT to are the quick turnaround ones: cuts, broken bones, heart attack, stroke, infection, pain. You either have it, or not. There are specific, dependable, brief, interviewing, visual, and test protocols that can be followed with confidence to a resolution. Not so with more complex ailments, particularly if such have been denied, by the patient or their doctor for months or years. It is easy to peg one in 5 seconds as being a child, adult, very old person, bleeding, disabled, screaming, dark-skinned, racial minority, religious adherent, or, mentally challenged. In situations of URGENCY, time is minimal allowing for few opportunities to confirm WHO the individual is and WHAT the extent of their problem is. Misinterpretations can totally sabotage and distort any attempt at medical resolution.
    
    

    For most of my life, from my mid-20s, most people have perceived me to be 10 years YOUNGER than I am in reality. Earlier, persons whom I was supervising or managing could assume that I was YOUNGER and less Experienced than them and take offense to what they initially believed was some form of favoritism. Even though my age is clearly noted on any intake form, I find that most doctors never read the form, or only scan it. Their first question is invariably, "What are you here for?" They have already assumed that I am YOUNG. I have a HIGH pain threshold developed with coping skills I learned when I was in a severe accident in the mid-1970s that left me with INTENSE Pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ... even when I was taking TRIPLE the recommended ADULT dose of a codeine pain killer. My doctor could not understand how i was having normal bowel movements when one of the classic symptoms of codeine toxicity was acute constipation. I found better, self-directed strategies for pain denial. Yet, the body knows. Visual indicators can signal to oneself and to others with a keen awareness that one is in pain, even tough NOT consciously. Almost no one, in my experience, has that level of awareness. Telling doctors about this visual disconnect seems to be pointless. They know few others with these abilities, certainly not themselves, and they BELIEVE what they SEE.

    When I recently explained this to an Emergency Department doctor and then noted that I had been having severe pains, on a temporary basis for a week, her response was to discount the reality, as the intake person almost did. His ONLY concern was how long I had experienced CONTINUAL severe pain. Once I experience such, I can follow well learned personal tactics to blocking it out. It is usually out of consciousness in minutes. Particularly nasty instances can result in the pain reappearing in other nearby locations, demanding a repeat transaction. Only severe pain is influenced. So, when the severe pain origin is influential enough, a wider area feels the dull sparkling pain of inflammation. That indicates to me, the OWNER of this body, that I have an acute pain problem that is robbing my energy, attention, and, possibly, bowel function. To the narrow gaze of the doctor, telegraphed by their questions, impatience, and responses ... they are not impressed that this middle-aged (70-year-old) male (who should be macho in denial of any pain not attended by copious blood loss), who is not violently acting out (with drama, lack of self-control, infantile helplessness) actually has ... a serious problem and real medical concern.
    
    

    Then, the stereotype of the technical expert pervades the diagnostic arena.
    Time is counting away in minutes and we need to get this person out or their concerns resolved.
    So, the doctor disappears for a few minutes to review the assessments which other doctors have attached to my previous diagnostic imaging tests (CT SCANS and possibly an ultrasound and an old x-ray). The "SAFE" and routine assessment that appears on ALL of those assessments which I have seen is a routine "unremarkable". The present doctor automatically assumes that her peer is PERFECT, could have missed Nothing, and their awareness cannot be questioned. Case dismissed. The stereotype of the perfect doctor/technician is endemic throughout the Canadian medical industry ... except for those doctors who found it necessary to leave Canada for their own best diagnosis, treatment, and survival.

    Several years ago, likely during 2014, it was reported on a local radio program that a man had been going to his family doctor for 10 years with a complaint of a bulging belly ... one of the continual and long-term symptoms of my own. Every year, his doctor told him, with authority, that he should exercise more and get a better diet to lose what was assumed, by the expert, to be excess fat. On the 11th visit, the doctor was away on holiday and a doctor on locum (temporary) was doctoring. The locum doctor decided to be adventurous and order a TEST, likely a CT SCAN or MRI. Finally a solution was found which was acknowledging of the patient and not demeaning of him. He had a foetus-in situ condition. His in-the-womb twin had been born with him, inside of him. It had remained small for decades, growing minimally. It is possible that with his nutrition, exercise, and other health strategies, as an adult, those factors had encouraged the supplemental growth of his highly deformed and contained twin. The report was quickly absent from the radio station. Yet, there are enough similar instances to create doubt in the judgements of our doctors when they are made, without tests, and without accepting our concerns as credible.
    
    

    It is a misuse of medical tests and of PUBLIC monies when inappropriate tests are used to justify NO action or treatment.

    Medical problems rarely disappear without some form of effort, adjustment, or change.
    Doing nothing, for fear of penalty for "spending too much" can often result in higher overall costs later, when a minor problem has become an extensive, acute problem.

    Using Assumptions, Guesses, and Prejudices are often Ego Laziness painted as rationalizations.
    The TESTED Reality is that simplistic rationalizations devoid of Experience, relevant Testing, and Challenge ... are usually WRONG!

    Political manipulation of the practice of the positions of doctor and medical examiner conveniently protect doctor's from any responsibility for diagnostic and treatment ERRORS and from the wisdom which might be gained by learning from such.

    Employing specialists on the basis of budgetary affordability results in professionals becoming technicians, becoming skill deprived. ANY skill seldom practiced becomes unskilled, in quality. A specialist who is only ALLOWED to work one or two days per week, even though there is a long WAIT time for their services, can only deteriorate in their skill and their value and increase in their likelihood of making critical (difficult or impossible to reverse) mistakes.

    
    
    

12. Technology: my god, which provides ease. INDEX
    While technology can reduce the mind numbing repetition of behavioral repetition, it can also invite mind-easing repetition. Particularly in situations where a person is relegated to using technology according to routines, "practices", or steps ... assigned, modified, and imposed by a largely absent Authority/leadership ... the person may actively seek to minimize their involvement in alignment with their non-authority, non-power. It is impressed upon them that it is their expertise of PERFORMANCE of a "practice" on which they have been hired, and may be retained. They have been relegated from their potential as a Professional to one of a robotic Technician. So, if they are NOT being appreciated or encouraged to THINK, Discern, be Sincere ... then why not just dump all of those penalized and unrewarded energies?

    For both those in Command, and those hired to Follow-the-rules, technology can be used as a scapegoat for MINIMIZED involvement. Alluding to technology as the RESPONSIBLE identity in the process, defers ALL Responsibility to the designers, manufacturers, fabricators, salespersons, installers, and maintenance providers. It is THEY who must be blamed if the operation of the technology results in DISASTER. This rationalization of complexity into the simplest denominator challenges observers to consider humanity as NOT gifted with "intelligence of wisdom", but rather with, "ignorance of denial". Time and time again, there are horrific revelations of such misuses of technology in the healthcare INDUSTRY.

Examples include:

"Surgery can be enhanced by reforming the patient to a LOOK that I like!"
A cancer care surgeon at a major hospital imposes his intellectual disgust of his frequent, and for him, overwhelming, visual of women with sagging, flabby, ugly breasts ... as justification for the surgical removal of ALL breasts diagnosed as having lumps, be they malignant, small/large, non-malignant. His "practice" becomes his answer to the beautification of the unhealthy female body. It is only a fellow surgeon who questioned this unsympathetic butchering assembly line treatment of cancer patients.

"When in doubt, cut it out!
Mammograms (for breast cancers), and PSA (Prostate enlargement hormone) Tests were used, and continue to be used by some practitioners) as "proven" indicators of disease. For 20 years, they have been scientifically shown to have an accuracy of 50%. A GUESS is just as accurate. That can result in a large number of patients having radical (significant) surgeries, followed by a reduced quality of life because a diagnostician (usually a doctor) places their TOTAL belief and trust in a technology.

I had symptoms of acute prostatitis in 2005. Surgical treatment of same, at that time, ranged everywhere from medical sources declaring it crude, unnecessary, limiting, disabling, and, life-saving. I did my own research, and some prayer-Guided self-experiments (ALWAYS a benefit, in my experience, if you develop the skill), and, I have been 95% symptom free to date. The fundamental adaptation I found beneficial was the modification of my DIET to Personally relevant avoidance of some kinds of food, and the inclusion of and emphasis on the use of other foods. Recovery does not have to be either complicated, dramatic, nor, technology biased.

"Safety is KNOWING how a technology works, and Confirming its "health."
BEFORE airline pilots start their aircraft rolling down the runway, they run a routine of self-tests on their technology in an effort to confirm that what they are going to risk the passenger's and their own lives with, is working accurately and dependably. Maintenance professionals do this form of check and cross-check of technologies consistently as a form of Prevention of breakdowns. It doesn't always prove safety, yet it is one of the most reliable practices in providing such dependability. The grey area of pause-and-repair vs note-for-later-attention can be complicated by an organization's financial desperation in a competitive economic environment, and, by officer confidence which discounts the significance of the findings of a technician. Even of greater error endangering practices is the reality that the operators of many high cost medical machines are unaware of the software languages and coding which automates the action patterns of the machine, and, may not be provided with any failsafe procedure to confirm machine "health."

Within the past 6 years (since 2010) it was discovered in the maritime provinces of Canada, that the technology for providing radiation treatments to limit and decrease cancer presence in diagnosed patients was DEFECTIVE. At some point early in the setup and use of the technology, an incorrect entry was entered into (programmed into) the machine. It had been providing radiation bursts at up to 100 times the strength of a remedial dose. It was demonstrated that patient had CONTRACTED cancers, or had cancers present Enhanced, rather than having any relief or cure. It was further demonstrated that an error in the reading of the cancer presence tests had resulted in HEALTHY patients being treated with deadly doses of radiation. When we make technology our god, and give it all our authority and power, we unleash a robot which is capable of AMPLIFYING any and all of our human weaknesses.

Desperation can lead to Reaction, not Understanding.
After WWII, and with the expanding and severe mental illness segment of American society, surgeons found that by removing parts of the brain (lobotomy), the offending behaviors and perceptions could be terminated. More than 50,000 were performed, in an almost automatic response to health problems beginning to be recognized now (2016), more than 60 YEARS later, as primarily PTSD (Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder) symptoms resulting from battlefield, sexual abuse, and bullying experiences. It has taken a very long time (compared to what a sincere and compassionate research approach might have discovered earlier and a less authoritarian medical infrastructure might have allowed) to BEGIN providing Recovery treatment modalities.

In the early 1970s, I was placed in a psychiatric ward for several months following a spinal tap diagnostic disaster. How did I get there? I was left, unattended, for 18 hours, in a dark, secluded ward. I experienced the most excruciating pain that can be felt. It began, increased to a crescendo within an hour, and remained there. ANY movement resulted in a slash of PAIN that seemed to explode in my head. An eye movement, a muscle movement, a breath, an attempt to relax ... provided another searing shock. Today, it would be like receiving a tazer shot every 10 seconds. Correction. A nurse dropped into my darkened room, devoid of any other patients or sound, for a moment, after the initial several hours. I whispered for pain medication. She never returned. I later determined, AFTER leaving the hospital, that she had gone off-duty shortly afterwards. The medication cart had been out of pain sedatives. She had left instructions for the next shift nurse. The instructions were never read. The surgeon who had done the spinal tap, removing spinal fluid for diagnostic reasons, had left the hospital for the weekend. There was no replacement, no follow-up, or professional presence for TWO days.

No one had prepared me with cautions or instructions for the test.
Twenty minutes after the test, and being a quite active person feeling some stiffness, I got out of bed and walked up and down the hallway. On my way back to the room, a duo of doctors, paused and asked me if I should be out-of-bed. I didn't know the reason for their query, and they provided none. After the long, terrifying experience, a nurse expressed astonishment that I had not been informed that ANY movement for 12 HOURS after the test could be VERY dangerous. As she explained, the test removed some of the spinal fluid, for examination. There was little fluid to begin with. It also filled a small sack which surrounded and cushioned the brain. If ANY were removed, and ANY movement of the head occurred, there was a HIGH likelihood of the brain becoming bruised ... PAIN. I had got out of bed, done knee bends, and flexed and swung my body repeatedly as I walked down the hall and back, and got back into bed. After 18 hours of torture, I became suicidal. Hence, the psychiatric ward. Endangering patients through the use of technology is medical POWER imposed without Responsibility.

In the psychiatric ward, I observed a woman, who in her conversations with her doctors and husband revealed another hazard of technology use, in medicine. She had developed a compulsive hand-washing behavior after one of her infants had died of a disease ... which someone had suggested to her was the result of some form of uncleanliness -- HER Fault! Shock therapy was in vogue at the time. And she got the "benefits". Every time she was given another "treatment" of shock therapy, she lost another part of her memory. She was begging the doctors to NOT give her any more, in terror of becoming "nothing". She could already neither recognize nor associate any experience with her husband and two young daughters when they visited. They were strangers. And the medical staff had NO suggestions as to how she might reconnect with them. And, she continued to have her hand-washing compulsion to 90% of its original intensity. Neither understanding the nature of her compulsion, and, seeking an easy, direct, solution ... SHOCK imposed a trauma to negate, or overlay, an earlier trauma. REACTIONS usually make situations WORSE. Technology magnifies both benefits, misuses, and disadvantages.

1. REAL POWER influences by projected Fear.
   In any institutionalized organization of AUTHORITY populated by Leaders who are provided/earn/take Power, there is a respect for an amplified sensitivity to the benefits and harsh realities that other individuals, and even groups, who believe they are privileged to be is such an association, may receive. We have each heard of, or experienced ourselves, how a dictator-like owner-manager-officer has made a scapegoat of someone in order to avoid the penalty of their own mistake. Or, how a manager has either withheld, or, advanced a promotion to an individual either out of expectation of personal benefit to themselves, or, because of personal slights felt or perceived to have come from the person targeted. And we know of the many instances in which a company of peers/troopers/members follow uniformly, and strictly, the demands/commands/preferences of their officer/leader. Nick Davies, author of "Hack Attack" writes:

   "The point about real power is that it does its own work, particularly among those who deal in power. Nobody in the power elite needs to be told. They all recognize the mogul's power and, with few exceptions, they do everything they can to pacify him, to ingratiate themselves. The mogul, for the most part, does not have to make threats or issue instructions. He just has to show up. Not even that -- he just has to exist, somewhere in the background. Everybody understands; the fact of power is enough. If there's a bull in the field, everybody steps carefully. The fear gives him access, gives him confidence. Real power is passive."

   And so it often is when the identity, even if it is a symbolic one as a corporation or a health ministry, both regulates your actions, hires and fires you, and can support or destroy your career and social position ... is acknowledged as the source of the privilege of your life. Yes, even one's perception of how powerful that entity or person is, the more privileged one may feel to be received as a member. That does, however, leave the patient as a lowly pleb to be tolerated by the service provider. In this dynamic the intellectual reality of the civil servant assisting the taxpayer, becomes transformed into an emotional reality of aristocratic specialist rescuing the ignorant. That is the behavior which I and many others have experienced first-hand while expecting the political and educated ethos of a healthcare Partnership.

   As always, if the reader doesn't like what they are reading, they have more options than they may compulsively REACT with:

   1. The reader can assume that the written word represents an ABSOLUTE authority.
   --- This is the imprinted Authority religion which most education preaches, and rewards.
   ---- Predictably, and LIMITING, for humanity, this is the commonly followed Reaction.

   2. The reader can recognize that ALL written words are an expression of experience and OPINION, subject to further experience, further research, and further interaction.
   --- Political expression and educational monopolies tend to deny this in their self-promotion.
   ---- The FEAR of Anarchy is the obsession of those who focus on Control to enforce Stability/Order.

   3. The reader can take the written word as a Personal INTERACTION between themselves and the author in which they and their attitudes and behavior are Acknowledged. If they don't like what they read/hear, they can CHANGE Their behavior, and encourage a CHANGE in the experiences and attitude of the writer.
   --- If you don't like the Truth/Reality about YOUR behavior/attitudes, YOU can change it!

   4. The reader can take the written word as a Personal INTERACTION between themselves and the author in which they and their attitudes and behavior are Acknowledged. If they don't like what they read/hear, they can Ignore it, discount it, and set it aside. No POWER, excepting their own training/imprinting is Forcing them to accept what is written as the "Truth". We align our perceptions and beliefs by what we know, or accept, to be the "Truth."
   --- In self-directed behavior, no one can force us to Accept, Believe, or Support anything.
   ---- But then that is FREEDOM, and freedom often comes at the price of Rejection by and of others.

   5. The reader can take the written word as a Personal INTERACTION between themselves and the author in which they and their attitudes and behavior are Misinterpreted, Distorted by Minimization, Distorted by Exaggeration, Manipulated by selective misapplication.
   --- This is the time honored practice of quoting pieces of a concept, intentionally, out-of-context with the original, and, often, out-of-context with the practiced and experienced reality.

   6. (There are at least TWO more variations of RESPONSE that are minimum to written or spoken words.
   If YOU reflect and think, YOU can find them.)

   
   
   

2. MORAL HAZARD removes Responsibility. INDEX
   Whenever someone else takes responsibility for our risk, we feel confident in taking more risk.
   As infants, when our parents take responsibility for acquiring, preparing, and deliver of our food, we feel confident in our identity of acceptance, value, and, certainty. We risk the failures of our attempts to walk and speak. Without that sense of certainty ... confusion, fear, and perceived rejection could ease us into a state of autism and/or retardation. As adults, living in a complex, fast-moving, and technological society, we encounter many daily risks of illness, accident, death, and destitution.

   Corporations are groups of members (shareholders) who join together to share both the profits and minimize the risks of losses of activities and services which can be too devastating for individual participation. The corporation can go bankrupt and die without the owners/shareholders dying. Buying shares in a company is like a form of regulated gambling. The buyer participates in the production and sale of a product or service at a level of size which would be unaffordable for the buyer to carry out on their own, either because of the amount of capital and resources necessary for an economical operation, or, because developing an untested market may have more failure than success potential.
   
   

   Insurances are a form of moral hazard in which the insurer takes financial responsibility for the risks of the policy/contract owner. That is, if an occasional significant expense may happen for the designated class of policy owner, the insurance company protects/rescues the insured from the pain/loss of an accident, injury, illness, disability, death (loss of family income), or, other financial loss. This protection does, however, unconsciously minimize the risk PERCEIVED by the insured. This motivates the insured to consider and participate in some activities, and make some choices, which would otherwise be avoided, as being "too risky".

   Indeed, the insured may make no effort to personally become aware of, discern, and choose their participation in some higher risk behaviors. In a health insurance scheme the result is partly one of the potential patient not making any attempt to understand human health nor make lifestyle choices and encourage others to refrain from such. Smoking (tobacco), drinking (alcoholic beverages to excess), sexual activity with multiple partners (exposure to STDs), the use of "street" drugs, and, eating nutrition poor (manufactured) foods are frequently part of a common lifestyle driven by peer example, NOT health awareness and self-direction.
   
   

   A Universal Healthcare Insurance (provincial, state, national, or, international) is almost always deceptively promoted to us by our politicians and educators with a moral hazard ethos. As members, we are conditioned (imprinted) with the belief that this infrastructure will save us, and protect us, from all health ills and dangers. The reality, in my experience of the provincial Ontario and British Columbia Health Insurance monopolies is that they address 20% of health concerns and deny or delay the diagnosis and treatment of the remainder. In keeping with the religiously politicised nature of the concept, the practical monopoly DIMINISHES the quality of health support which could be available by deterring, complicating, and making illegal access to other, and personal healthcare modalities. When monopolies seek to control endeavors which are NOT sanctioned politically .. we refer to them as "Organized Crime". The government rooted variety we might be best to term "Organized Complicity".

   "Organized Complicity" as a term would highlight and honestly represent the true (practiced) nature of the infrastructure and bureaucracy. There is direct complicity of a politically driven healthcare program between the political masters and the healthcare delivery servants. There is complicity (direct interaction and codependency) between the healthcare agents and their pharmaceutical suppliers. There is even a complicity between the membership and the officers (administrators) and the service staff (doctors). While the term "complicity" suggests a sharing of responsibility and authority, the reality, for the purpose of stability and efficiency, is often an expression of REAL POWER being acknowledged in one side of the equation. The PERCEPTION/Ideal is one of Sharing. The REALITY is one of acknowledgement of Power.
   
   

3. FRAUD: Promise, then, Forget.
   Someone likely knows when and who started the strategy, but the source is largely forgotten.
   Indeed, the REALITY is something often learned through personal interaction with "officials".
   A SELF-DENIAL strategy began to be taught in psychology classes in universities, likely during the early 1980's. One way of ECONOMICALLY coping with the concerns of customers, prospects, patients, and adversaries ... including one's spouse ... was to acknowledge, promise resolution, forget. The rationality (always the achilles heel of most humans) was that people feel better when they are acknowledged. They intellectualize that you have HEARD them, and that your ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is your self-aware bargain to change your behavior, rescue them, partner with them, or, effect changes in the concern. Unconsciously, that is what is communicated. But no. The taught, or assumed by many strategy, was to use that intimacy to deceive your adversary into confidence and then manipulate them out of your way.

   The person who had approached you and asked for your HELP was comforted into TRUSTING you.
   That usually translated into you doing what you had IMPLIED, or specifically stated, that you would do. They would relax their concerns, let go of their anxieties and fears, feels positive and appreciative of your attention ... and perhaps their concern would evaporate, or, they would lapse into depression or despair and stop irritating you and raising a potential increase in your costs, responsibility, or involvement. You ALWAYS win, and the other person always loses, unless you sincerely VALUE the relationship. If you are hired to act as a technician to follow simple procedures, inflexible rules, and work predictable hours for a predictable wage as nothing more than an action character ... you have no reward for empathic concern for people. If you really are SINCERE, much of the mass employment sector will reference you as a "loser." Doctors, in a government dominated medical system, are only rewarded for being technicians keeping the statistics low for their bureaucratic handlers.
   
   

   I had researched my medical condition intensively and some avenues seemed promising.
   Certainly, all of the doctors I had ever visited had consistently asserted that they had no time for researching, they were not interested in any sources brought to them by patients (it wouldn't be their "area of expertise"), or, they would note the reference, promise to get back to me, and I would never hear from them. If asked about it later (after all, it was MY health, employment, and life being challenged) they would excuse themselves as having been too busy. I noted a specific MEDICAL procedure to my doctor recently which had received accolades from the MEDICAL community for its EFFECTIVE benefit to patients, at LOW cost to treat some of the symptoms I had. I asked him if he could check and find out if the procedure was being done ANYWHERE in the province of British Columbia. Yes, of course he could, and would. That was 2 MONTHS ago. Most doctors in my experience, NEVER take personal calls and easily victimize their receptionists by stating that they never received the message you left for them. It's relationship and professional FRAUD. Or, perhaps the situation is neither a relationship (just a technicality) and NOT professional (just a diagnostic technician and a pharmaceutical agent).

   On February 16, 2007, I participated in one of many Patient Forums conducted across the province by the British Columbia Ministry of Health. Feedback was requested from doctors, healthcare workers, and residents regarding suggestions for improvement of the BC Health infrastructure and medical services provisions. The results were to be used by members of the British Columbia parliament to bring in significant changes. Millions of taxpayer monies were spent. To the present in mid-2016, nothing has happened! Was the intention only to placate an increasing unrest in the electorate regarding BC medical care? This reminds me of a similar form of fiasco which occurred in the province of Ontario. Every year, for ten years or more, a medical commission was appointed by the Ontario government to determine how the issue of acute, life-threatening Environmental sensitivities in patients could be better addressed. Every year, almost the same roster of participants were retained. EVERY year, an almost identical list of proposals were made. Evidently, NO political authority or funding supported the costly efforts, leaving the desperate patients abandoned, and leaving the politicians saying boldly that they were looking into the issue. I know because I was one of those patients. I did not wait. I found my own cure and have had no reoccurrence of such ills in the 30 years since, and, have assisted others.
   
   

4. DYING to be TESTED. INDEX
   The reality is that PROVINCIALLY controlled healthcare is ruled by the budget which those in political power believe will get them re-elected. If they believe that raising the healthcare budget for the province (ANY province) will spark a voter rebellion, it will be excused by rationalization chosen to confuse, misinform, or manipulate the public into believing that everything is acceptable. Provincial healthcare budgets determine how much can be spent during the NEXT year. Non-medical bureaucrats determine how many of which tests and procedures will be paid for from that reserve. There will be a set number of ultrasounds, CT scans, X-rays, MRI's, hip replacement surgeries, ... as a GUIDELINE for each month. When more requests come in, WAIT TIMES are extended.

   I recently received a Wait Time of 7-1/2 weeks for an EMERGENCY CT Scan.
   Clearly, the behavior suggests an attitude of rationalizing a maximum of procedures regardless of the need. It may be considered that for longer wait times, only 30% will be expected to be helped. 30% of patients waiting will die. The remaining 40% will either give up in desperation and depression, miss their appointment through forgetfulness or confusion, or, go elsewhere or to non-medical therapies for assistance. It's an easy way of getting rid of 70% of your obligations while declaring 100% service.
   
   

5. SANCTION brings PRIVILEGE.
   Once individuals have been sanctioned as acceptable to call themselves physicians, legally, by the political governing authority, they can be hired by that monopolistic employer and be credited with special rights of access to and use of an infrastructure of hospitals, pharmaceutical and medical device supplies, and, an organized and limiting segregation of wage requirements, employment benefits, territorial and patient exclusivity, and open use of and self-promotion of themselves with socially recognized labels of "Doctor" and similar terms. In support of their inclusion in this monopolistic service (no Canadian province as of mid-2016 allows for the legal presence of privately funding medical services within their boundaries. In return for such privilege, doctors are mandated to acknowledge and adhere to both regulations and guidelines on their practice and their request for and use of diagnostic and treatment devices, tests, and therapies. Exceeding these boundaries can result in either formal or informal threats and realities in the removal of their privileges and possible termination of their official accreditation.

   The Power of this political Control of a profession is a loss of Professionalism.
   Medical personnel working within the boundaries of a politically managed corporate identity and employer, quickly learn by word-of-mouth and the example of previous physicians who have been legally attacked and/or politically threatened and driven from Canada, to shut up and do as they are told, or move themselves and their families out of Canada, or, leave the healthcare industry. In return for their guaranteed income and their social and personal prestige, a provincially supported doctor must play be the rules and "guidelines" set by the political administration of statisticians and accountants. While rules and regulations must have government approval and tend thus to be rigid and longer-term, GUIDELINES are like informal preferences conveyed with the authority of a lawmaker. Such boundaries can change daily ... to reduce costs and access for the many, to increase access to tests and treatments for a privileged few, and, to delay the cost of and treatment of illnesses which have not been dramatized in the mass media.
   
   

   There are many personal examples of such dictatorial practices.
   A doctor and professor located in Hope, British Columbia, who is acknowledged by the global medical community as an effective innovator in the treatment of a debilitating disease was warned that if he did not cease to write and speak about the ability to diagnose and effectively treat such an illness, his teaching and medical opportunities would be terminated and his license revoked. The concern of the Ministry of Health was that if it were to accept his findings, like many worldwide had already, it would be obligated to successfully diagnose and treat British Columbians with such an illness. Costs could be substantial to the government for such treatments and social support. This is one of 8 instances which I am familiar with by personal exposure. Most never reach the media whose publishers fear the loss of huge provincial advertising revenues used to purvey the myth of exemplary and universal healthcare.

   Doctors and their favored relatives, in addition to influential politicians and their favored relatives, may arrange for a CT Scan or an MRI within 24 to 48 hours while the average citizen is told to wait for 5 week or 7-1/2 weeks (as I have been) to receive an Emergency Diagnostic scan/test. Wherever there is authority and power, globally, and a cost restriction on services, the human pattern has evolved to include privileged access in return for the presumed sacrifice which the doctor or politician is making in their "professional" service to society, and, an acknowledgement that someone with the power and authority to have your employment diminished or terminated could do so, and, an appreciation for the dynamic that such a person of power and/or authority could reward their special/personal consideration with career advancement, and/or, career protection. Perhaps this is why Medical Examiners (formerly, "Coroners") in British Columbia are NOT given the option to ever declare a death to be the result of medical incompetence or healthcare system abandonment. Protection of the guilty seeps in by looking the other way when your friend steals from the public.
   
   

6. ONE symptom per office visit. INDEX
   Doctors have uniformly reported that they can only treat ONE symptom per office visit.
   They NEVER want to hear the FULL description of the ailment, so, they project their expectations.
   Since 2005, doctors have specifically written about the high misdiagnosis rate of doctors, encouraged by infrastructure expectations and limitations which only reward a technician response (follow highly specific rules and guidelines stipulating ALL acceptable results for all ACKNOWLEDGED factors. Factors not noted are determined as NOT existing. If it is NOT in the rules or guidelines, ignore it as it doesn't exist ... and will NOT be treated. One doctor suggested to his patient that she make TWO appointments on one day so that she could tell him about each of two of her symptoms! He didn't ask how many symptoms she had in total.

   One symptom per office visit has the same relevancy as that of asking the auto repairperson to assess what is malfunctioning with your car on the basis of the symptom that it doesn't get good mileage. And, you only want the person to check the tires. Or, perhaps you would like to bake a cake and you ask a friend for a recipe for a multi-layer cake with icing, a filling, and fruit mixed in with the dough. They hand you a piece of paper on which is written "flour". You query, "What are the rest of the ingredients, what order do you mix them in, and how long do you bake it?" Their reply: "You can figure out the rest." And the, perhaps you go into a government office to request a payment exemption. The clerk gives you a form. You fill it out and return it. They take it, and you wait. Eventually, you ask about your exemption document. Oh, that is just the FIRST of TEN forms which must individually be submitted and sequentially authorized. YOU were mistaken. You came to obtain and pay for a document you expected to take with you. No you will be making many more trips back to this office. If all goes well, you may have your document in 6 MONTHS.
   
   

7. REACTION PRESCRIBING.
   Doctors have uniformly sought to PRESCRIBE with as little information as possible.
   The bureaucracy driven system focuses only on numbers without any reference to relevancy.
   Doctors report that they are only paid/rewarded for 10 minute patient visits.
   Each of THREE specialists in BC Health prescribed drugs on the basis of NO tests.
   They heard one or two symptoms and assumed that what had worked previously would always work.
   There are at least 16 different kinds of headache. Each KIND of headache may be the result of as many as any ONE of 6 factors.

   One of my first reports to a doctor about a scalp condition I had was in 2005.
   The response of the doctor after a 3 second glance was that he would prescribe an antibiotic.
   Antibiotics are basically fungal preparations. I expressed concern considering that I had just recovered, as least symptom wise, from a system fungal problem which had been life threatening. Blank. It was as if I had said nothing. He confidently noted that some children in the area had contracted something similar, and this prescribed drug would do the trick. With reservations I had the prescription filled and began using it.

   Within 12 HOURS, I experienced a dramatic outbreak over parts of my body with the formation of a thick white fungus. I phoned the clinic, expressed my concern and requested further advice from the doctor. Nothing. Another 12 hours and 2 more unanswered calls and I terminated the use of the drug. Two days after my first urgent telephone call, I received a reply from the doctor's receptionist. I was to continue to use the drug and come into the office in another WEEK. My health had been SEVERELY compromised by a doctor who didn't care if I lived or died. This is how misprescribing happens, and, how patients DIE following the advice of their seen to be god-like doctors. A doctor must be god, or psychic, if they can accurately GUESS for every patient, what the best medication is for that patient. I have known patients who were prescribed 8 drugs. When analyzed, it was found that they were taking 7 of the 8 drugs to counter the side-effect symptoms of one or other of the drugs. They dumped the extra 7, and lost their significant emotional and lifestyle limiting and destroying symptom of DEPRESSION. Their doctor was upset at losing the income benefit of those added 7 prescriptions every month.
   
   

8. AVOIDABLE DEATH. INDEX
   While reaction prescribing contributes to death statistics, and is actually medical malpractice (if you are not sure by virtue of a CONFIRMED diagnosis, don't prescribe), death can also result from conditions never being diagnosed correctly. What may have begun as a troubling symptom can escalate gradually and consistently, or, in steps or thresholds (as mine has). If the doctor has denied and avoided the symptom once, it is easy to deny a slightly worsened symptom another time. The more times you deny and avoid something, the more you learn a routine of denial and avoidance ... whether such is associated in your memory and behavior to one person, a group of persons (youth, women, men, elderly, smelly, aggressive, ...), or to all patients.

   Humans tend to easily build patterns of least involvement and responsibility in environments where their PERSONAL contributions, attention, and sincerity are appreciated, and in activities in which their performance is compared to a norm of least activity, lowest cost, and, shortest investment of time. In 1 13-year duration within the British Columbia healthcare system, I have received only ONE follow-up call from one doctor about any health concern, medical test result, prescription effect, or lapsed appointment. Clearly, the tone to this patient is "If you are dead, I've cured you!" Misprescribing KILLS 10,000 Canadians yearly! Ten times that number of deaths are reported in the USA ... which has ten times the population, and the reports are from the MEDICAL institutions.
   
   

9. CHEAP, IRRELEVANT TESTS.
   Tests which are relevant to culturally endemic health weaknesses are routinely run for EVERY patient. These determine if the patient has high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a common blood infection ... for which the Ministry of Health has mandated a set of drug responses. I was BORN with LOW blood pressure and have consistently had such all of my life. Similarly, I have never been diabetic or pre-diabetic. I only became overweight when I was prescribed a drug which became known for imposing added fat volume to the person. It required a 21-day fast to break my prescribed pattern, 20 years ago.

   A B.C. Health doctor in an Emergency Department recently (2016) suggested that I could benefit from having a colonoscopy to further diagnose my peristaltic paralysis and intestinal blockage. I reminded her that the blockage was in the SMALL intestine and that a colonoscopy only investigated the majority of the LARGE intestine. Her response was that her training and mine regarding the intestines must have been different. YOU check it out.

   In the Spring of 2016, I went to a local Emergency Department with severe abdominal pains. For reasons noted elsewhere, I seldom FEEL pain of any intensity. I was given a Abdominal CT SCAN. The attending doctor confirmed that there was a massive expansion of my small intestine indicative of a blockage, and nothing in my colon. Her prescription: take some strong laxatives and see my doctor. On another occasion I had taken TWO doses of a prescription cathartic, performed my colon clearing protocol for 5 days, and fasted for 10 days before having an ultrasound done. It had also shown an enlarged and "impacted" small intestine and an empty colon. Again, my doctor did nothing. With the earlier experience, I had evidence to doubt the assessment of the ER doctor.
   
   

10. DECEPTIVE TESTING. INDEX
    Electrocardiograms once lasted for 30 to 40 minutes; now, they are completed in 60 seconds.
    Some heart irregularities only appear within a 30 minute duration; others only when under stress.
    In the province of Ontario, I had clear indications of an intestinal parasite problem.
    The "specialist" I went to told me that humans never got parasites!
    Another doctor ran a stool test which was assessed negative on parasites I could see.
    The laboratory technician told me that the province only mandated for them to test for 8 of the known 50 significant human intestinal parasites. At various times since, in Ontario and in British Columbia, with ever diminishing sizes of test samples to determine if blood is in stool, I have received results assessed as negative ... even though the water surrounding the stool was crimson with blood.
    How does one fail such tests?

    In the Spring of 2005, I had a B.C. Health chest X-ray.
    It was assessed as "unremarkable". End of diagnosis.
    I was in the middle of a 5-year challenge to cope with, understand and recover from one form (out of a thousand) of CFS-ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) along with my wife who acquired a similar form near the same time. We both later fully recovered in late 2008 after eliminating a number of health and medical acute and chronic health problems, and then going over a threshold to HEALTH with a recently available health empowerment therapy. Thanks to B.C. Health, their best specialist diagnosed me as "never to recover" and my wife as "likely not to recover", offered palliative drugs, and suggested herbals we were already aware of and had tested. Within 3 years after my recovery, I was working 60 to 70 hours per week, and while I have medical conditions which have continue to present and escalate, particularly since 2013 .. there has NEVER been any symptom alignment with those of any form of CFS-ME.
    
    

    Some years earlier, an instructor who taught doctors and X-Ray technicians how to read such scans before they became digital shared a few words about his skill and subject. He noted, from his 20 or more years of experience and teaching, that reading X-Rays was an ART. Technical interpretation was only relevant to highly defined realities, like wood, glass, steel structures. Human, and other bodies were composed of tissues of multiple densities and structures and forms which might be expressed with subtle variations from one person to another. An immaturity of awareness and appreciation could result in image irregularities being overlooked and curable diseases becoming terminal, and, in image irregularities being dramatically references and then proving later, with embarrassment, to be the result of the patient having eaten or drank something, or, of a individualized genetic modification of no health danger. If the assessment person was incapable or unwilling or penalized against becoming artistic (professional) in attitude, they would find it easiest to simply find nothing of note in most of their x-rays. Most errors would die and remain unknown.

    Whenever possible, I request a copy of all test results done for me, including a digital copy of any x-rays or scans. That way, if I should change doctors, move to another country, go to another country for health diagnosis or treatment ... I have copies of diagnostic data which can be assessed by them, or there. Following my recovery from CFS-ME, I viewed the digital chest x-ray of myself carefully. My lungs were covered in a white haze. On a subsequent X-ray, the haze was gone. Part of my recovery included taking herbs and supplements and using therapies which enhanced lung health and worked against systemic mycotoxins ... of the kind which could spread throughout the lungs. The medical community was only a hindrance and a delay in my recovery. I recovered and gained a clear understanding of CFS-ME by following the direction afforded me by God through prayer. The medical industry COULD have helped. Its dynamics and weaknesses yielded only denial and abandonment. A test which is irrelevantly interpreted is worse than no test at all. It tells a LIE, and places CONFIDENCE in choices which will only reduce the viability of one's health further.
    
    

11. IRRELEVANT CASCADING of TESTS. INDEX
    On my 10-year quest to DEFINE by diagnosis, and find relevant TREATMENT to reduce the influence of my medical concerns, as a British Columbia resident, I have been repeatedly denied, abandoned, minimized, misprescribed, judged, and, delayed ... consistently, by the half dozen or more BC Health employed doctors I was ALLOWED access to. Regardless of the symptom presented, and never more than ONE or a minimum would be considered, the doctor, or specialist, would prescribe within minutes a drug or test which was at odds with my health history or having only a frail association with the symptoms. When I suggested more specific tests which had assisted others with similar symptoms, I was informed that ..

    • a series of less informative and more general tests were mandated to be run first;

    • tests whose WAIT times would delay any relevant treatments were necessary;

    • the requested tests were too expensive for BC physicians to request;

    • "It isn't my area of expertise" (and I won't refer you to someone else);

    • the provincial healthcare budget cannot afford those tests.

    Opting for highly defining diagnostic tests can be followed, outside of the government supported system, by the payment of many hundreds of dollars to non-Canadian or non-BC laboratories, undertaken either on a personal basis, OR, by requests placed through non-medical therapists ... who will "interpret" the tests and suggest/offer non-pharma and no-medical responses to the indicated problems. A disaster in this process is that the test results, accepted globally by non-Canadian doctors, may be rejected, minimized, or ignored by those in control of Canadian hospital services, pharmaceuticals, and social supports ... because they were not ALLOWED by the infrastructure to request such directly.
    "It isn't ours, and we don't cover that for the reason stipulated in the diagnosis."
    
    

12. ACCIDENT maximization. INDEX
    I was greatly concerned when I had a BLACKOUT while walking across an intersection in the local town in early August, 2016. A double blackout had happened to me earlier in mid-March, at home. I had not gone to the hospital at the earlier set of incidents. Why? My consistent experience in similar older experiences, both in Ontario and British Columbia had been that by the time I took an ambulance, was driven to, or took public transit to a hospital ... NOTHING would be found to diagnose. At worst, it would be suggested that I was making up my experience, or, being over-cautious. I was even told a flat out lie about heart attacks in an emergency department in Ontario ... perhaps because the young doctor had either not listened to my clear description of symptoms, or had simply acquired a "look, don't listen to" attitude towards some or all patients.

    This time, after I had self-recovered and began to reflect, I was surprised that neither of the ambulance attendants, the hospital doctors, nor any of the hospital technicians and nurses ever asked me "What happened?". Whatever they assumed, they processed me over a period of 2-1/2 hours (a low activity quick response time for them) by running a series of tests and stitching up a gash above and into my left eyebrow. The duration seemed like 20 minutes to me. It was evident that I had reverted to blackout in the ambulance and in the hospital without anyone taking notice. So, what was the diagnosis? I was tasked with seeing my MD in about a week to have the stitches removed. When I emphasized the blackout reality and the medical staff response, he was unsurprised. I requested an MRI of abdomen and head to find or rule out any factor connected to my escalating 10-year set of symptoms. I had 6 months earlier had a CT SCAN in an emergency department in response to severe intestinal pains. More on that later.
    
    

    My doctor re-iterated to me that the province had a protocol of escalating cost tests.
    One began with an ultrasound, even if the ultrasound was poorly suited to the symptoms.
    When that proved negative, then one could request a CT SCAN ... which might also be an irrelevant diagnostic tool for the indicators .. and which would afford the patient with a needless high dose of radiation. When the CT SCAN proved negative, then one might request the eventual and perhaps best diagnostic tool for the symptoms, an MRI. I now requested an MRI to finally find something to work with before an avoidable accident happened which might cost me my life, as well as the lives of others. I had prepared a hand written 10-year summary of my ongoing symptoms and clearly defined my current concerns regarding a possible accident. I offered that to him at the beginning of the appointment. He noted that he didn't read such. Could I tell him what was in point form in 7 half-pages. I had 3 minutes or less to state my case.

    The appointment outcome was that he would request an URGENT CT SCAN.
    He was unsure of the time restriction between when a CT Scan had been done and when an MRI could be ordered ... and he wasn't going to confirm it, so, just to keep HIM on the safe side of accepted protocol, we would run another CT Scan. SEVEN days later, I received notice by mail from the hospital that I had been booked for a scan 7-1/2 WEEKS from the request. His receptionist confirmed that the document faxed to the hospital on the day of my appointment had indeed noted "URGENT".
    
    

    I am not a rich or independently wealth person, like most Canadians.
    I had been preparing to move to another province for 4 months to continue, hopefully, with a full-time volunteer position focused on reducing international political conflicts which often resulted in the murder of hundreds and thousands of CIVILIANS. I had been quite successful. Health conditions had increasingly minimized my activities down to almost nothing over the previous 8 months. The unpaid job was waiting for me. Making the move would entail my driving to Alberta and confirming my future residence location and meeting a significant partner who together would make the next step possible. Following my 1000 km return drive, I would necessarily rent, load, and drive a 5-ton truck back into Alberta. In all, a minimum of 3000 km of driving. If I could blackout walking across the street, it didn't seem impossible that I could blackout driving a car or a truck. That could result in my death and the disabling or death of multiple other persons. There were NO monies for other alternatives. There was a time limit of availability for me to have the free use of the car of a friend. My doctor didn't care. He had done his best ... prescribed an URGENT CT SCAN. The concerns are IN my personal medical file. I confirmed that.

    Within a week after the notice, I made another appointment.
    My doctor had opted to go away for a lengthy time. A younger doctor was acting on locum (temporary service) in the absence of my doctor. We reviewed results of the usual test. I was in PERFECT health ... as I did not have high blood pressure, diabetes, a common infection in my blood, or high cholesterol. In my 70 years, and in my health record, I had NEVER had any of these with the exception of a short period in my twenties when my cholesterol levels went up NATURALLY in response to a severe accident I had been in, and survived. I reasserted my blackout concerns and the wait time for the CT Scan. I also noted that I was aware of incidents in which doctors had acquired CT Scans and MRI's for relatives within 24- to 48-hours. Was this not serious enough. He ignored the privilege reference. He noted that he should have my license removed. I questioned: "How could he have my license removed when he declared that I had Perfect health?" He went silent. I queried again about the time delay. He informed me that the number of diagnostic tests and their cost was dependent upon provincial funding. Bottom line: only so many MRI's and CT Scans could be done each years, irrespective of demand. More demand translated into longer wait times. If accidents and deaths happened due to delays ... well, that was just the reality. End of explanation and service.
    
    

13. ARCHAIC Institutional model hides crisis. INDEX * NEW
    In a B.C. south Okanagan newspaper on October 26, 2016, journalist Tom Fletcher, tfletcher@blackpress.ca, in an article titled "Health funding charade hides crisis" quoted several sources relevant here. He noted that the Canadian Medical Association .. "Has long since argued that Canada still has a post-war acute care model in a country dominated by chronic care patients." Personally, I would, from experience, modify this to the statement that "Canada has a wartime acute care model in a country dominated by undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and chronically denied/ignored healthcare problems." The current "crisis" has been building, for decades. If the system is waiting for such patients to die so that the annual cost of healthcare decreases, those in a managerial role are ignoring the history that this untended population is INCREASING faster than it is dying. That is the dynamic of CHRONIC. The only salvation for such a system is to make "chronic" into "acute" by instituting euthanasia for anyone with an undiagnosed illness. That would balance it!

    Mr. Fletcher goes on to quote Nova Scotia health minister Leo Glavine,

    "And it is not just the age of the population,
    it's also a cohort with an extreme number of chronic conditions."

    From my behind-the-scenes international political intervention volunteer work and research I would add that many of these long-term ills are the result of an absence of LEADERSHIP by which those we have elected to keep us informed of how we can best PARTICIPATE in our lives and in that of society for the best of humanity and the environment which sustains us ... have CONSISTENTLY treated us as children too easily alarmed to be self-responsible. In their economic desperation and their lust for acceptance, they have imprinted us to be children in a home in which the parents are absent. They have been busy encouraging corporations (symbolic identities robotised to only value profit expansion) to contaminate the environment, manipulate the public with myths and fantasies, and deliver foods that are impoverished of nutrition and supplemented with hormones, pesticides, and heavy metals ... all of which contribute to chronic illnesses. Some observers have said that we are so far beyond a turning point, that we are doomed to extinction. Perhaps the young are signaling this with their increasing rates of suicide and acute depression. Our politicians have sold away our future. But then, we elected them!
    
    

14. COMPARTMENTALIZING medicine creates chasms.
    In North America, the practice of dentistry and medicine are LEGALLY separated.
    Practitioners in each are called "doctors", yet, each is regulated NOT to touch the territory of the other, and often have little knowledge of health practice other than their won. Increasingly, in the past half century, in the provinces of Canada, other non-medical practices, each of which have proven to be greatly effective in the hands of a skilled therapist, have been grudgingly allowed to pervade the healthcare field. Some of these therapist have a knowledge and experience wide enough and deep enough to understand some of the applications of other disciplines, and to, refer their patients to those doctors when their DIAGNOSIS alerts them to. Most of these dental and "alternative" approaches to healthcare come at an added expense for most Canadians. Another example of a 2-tier healthcare infrastructure with access to more holistic diagnosis and treatment available only to those able and willing to PRIVATE pay.

    Why not have a system in which providers become experts in their specific area to deliver the best of care? If human bodies were like cars or other machines, that might be possible. The difficulty with that scenario is that human bodies are composed of SOFT parts which are dependent upon activator/deactivator hormones, neural systems which use memory, reflection, imagination, projection, trauma imposition, imprinting repetition, and genetic predisposition ... to motivate, penalize, reward, and work together a collection of internal organs, and external "others". The operation of the circulatory system does not stop at the end of arteries and veins. It is influenced by signals from other organs, nutrition and toxins from yet more organs, and, by physical protection from behavioral responses and reactions as well as environmental and social awareness. To a degree, ALL of the PARTS of an organism are capable of influencing each other. So, if you adjust ONE part to its optimum setting, that will benefit the whole.
    
    

    One of the early mini-computer training courses I attended concerned the operation, maintenance of, and diagnosis of problems for teletypewriters. At that time, in the mid-1960s, computer peripherals were often mainly mechanical with a few electro-mechanical enhancements. Even the computers themselves had few and basic electronics. Our class of "customer engineers" was divided into pairs for this model training. On the first day, we were given a maintenance manual and a used electro-mechanical typewriter. My partner and I began eagerly to check the settings and clearances to those noted in the manual. We had no previous complex systems experience, though we could each reliably fix our car of most common household or farm gadgets or machinery. We took the manual to be accurate.

    We adjusted numerous settings the little they required to bring them back to "normal".
    At the end of the day, the device would NOT work. Not having noted the original "worn/used" settings, nor which settings had been adjusted, there would be no way of every getting the device working correctly again, unless, we replaced ALL of the parts. The "used" machine had a multitude of different forms of mechanical pieces ... levers, cams, solenoids, clutches, hammers, ... and each of the 87 pieces had worn at a different rate according to the overall use of the device. The "workable" setting of some of the pieces would have been far OUTSIDE of the recommended "normal". Perfection guaranteed FAILURE, and was irrelevant.
    
    

    During the mid-1960s, I began working in an office in downtown Toronto.
    I began to have chest pains. I went to a medical doctor. There were no other choices. He ran a few minor tests and announced that I was "healthy". In other words, he had no answers and was giving up. As was the frequent routine response of the time, he suggested that it might be stress and a psychological problem. I have always had an interest in health and was subscribed to a health empowerment magazine entitled "Prevention." Subscribers and alternative healthcare workers shared their health problems and the solutions they found effective for themselves, as well as those recently written up in scientific journals. Several entries noted that Vitamin E supplement relieved chest pains.

    I got some Vitamin E and began using it.
    Almost immediately, the chest pains stopped. I later found that I had gained a HIGH cholesterol blood level following a severe motorcycle accident I had been in several years previously .. the HIGH cholesterol presence was a NORMAL healing response. The vitamin E, by the medical tests taken before and after my use of it, decreased the cholesterol level to normal, within MONTHS, where it has remained since. The MEDICAL system had NO constructive answers and could only offer me inappropriate mood altering drugs ... which would have made everything more complicated, and, have endangered my health by NOT addressing the main issue.
    
    

    During the mid-1990s, I was having some difficulty with chronic tiredness.
    I had always been quite active; this seemed odd. I went to a medical clinic and the doctor there ran some blood tests and announced that I had a slightly underfunctioning thyroid. I was prescribed a LOW dose of thyroxin. I had only taken a dose or two when I had a confusing and alarming experience. I was taking no other prescriptions at the time and have never used "street drugs". I laid down on the bed for a rest. A few seconds later, I was paralyzed. I had acquired very SLOW breathing since practicing breath holding in preparation for skin diving, and, practicing yogic breathing intently in my mid-teens. As I lay on the bed, I could not move, not even my eyelids. I was fully conscious, yet unable to speak. It was a little awkward when a child came into the room and wondered what was happening with no response or movement from me. 45 minutes or so later, I came out of the paralysis, within seconds, even as I had entered it. I stopped taking the thyroxin. I have never had a similar experience since.

    Over the following several years, I discovered, with much effort and frustration, that I had MERCURY poisoning. It was feeding into me as methylmercury gas entering my lungs and into my blood from aging mercury amalgam dental fillings. How can I be so certain. On several occasions, I went into a dentist's office, and had several teeth pulled that had large dental amalgams in them. For weeks before I had been experiencing a SET of symptoms I LATER learned were common to mercury poisoning (which tends to mask itself as any of several major organ deficiencies, depending on where the toxins are deposited). In one case, I wasn't even out of the building before symptoms of depression, tiredness, weakness, lack of appetite DISAPPEARED. I was joyful, energized, hungry, unexpectedly. Radically improved, in MINUTES.

    Again, no help from either the medical or even the North American dental industry.
    It wasn't a field of symptoms the dentist could be concerned with. The doctor was looking for a non-dental cause/excuse. I had researched EUROPEAN Dental scientific journals, and taken the risk to ask the dentist to remove several teeth as I could not afford the repairs, I believed. If more costly blood or hair analysis tests had been done, the toxicity would have been an EASY diagnosis. Doing REACTIVE and projective diagnoses in which the physician connects what has been taught to be a "common" source of a symptom, or, has treated or heard of a patient with such a symptom being treated in a specific way with a (SINGLE) positive result ... and prescribes that solution for EVERYONE with that symptoms ... disasters, complications, and chronic health issues are likely.

9. REALITY is NOW, not when you finished your training.

10. Diagnosis is easiest accomplished with the most relevant dynamic. * NEW

1. Take ownership of your personal health.
   Do extensive research, learn the skill of discernment, pray, cross-check everything, find a holistic-oriented practitioner, pay for meaningful private testing, pay for independent assessments NOT joined to corporate or political budgets, manage your own lifestyle .. including diet, social participation, spiritual skill building, communication improvements, and income stabilization.
   It's an investment in the Quality of YOUR life. Perhaps as much as 15% of your income and time.

   If you truly want to provide your children with some basic life skills, volunteer to work for a time in a cancer ward, a palliative care facility, or an institution for disabled veterans. When you have developed a caring and sympathetic attitude towards those for whom a smile or a kind word, or a drink of water can transform their day into a joy ... take your children for a visit. Impress upon them later, that they will have the daily choice throughout the rest of their life to live a lifestyle, promote respect for the environment that surrounds them, and encourage peaceful negotiation between parties which have been abused and feel desperate, confused, abandoned, angry, and vengeful. If they make enough choices of self-respect and good will towards others, they may avoid the often depressing and despairing life experiences of those you have volunteered to bring some comfort to. Few of any of those in the institutions ever suspected that their last DECADES of experience would be so restrained.
   
   

2. Recognize and acknowledge the Permanency of an Institution. INDEX
   If a large politically dominated infrastructure has been in place, unchallenged successfully for over 100 years, others have attempted to encourage or impose change. Their efforts have been wasted and lost and would have been more constructively spent empowering individuals to know about themselves and others and respect themselves and others. At best, you will be pushing a snowball uphill. The further you push, the bigger, heavier, and more dangerous .. to you, it becomes.

   An institution comes into being only because of ONE factor: population density.
   The concept of democracy began as members of a small town in which the local farmers lived.
   Perhaps 30 to 60 members shared ideas and debated what they could pool their labors and resources towards in an order to bring forth a lifestyle which all considered a desired benefit. Whenever the numbers increased, discussions became longer, more open to personality conflicts, decisions became more inconclusive. Greater numbers meant greater responsibility for anyone taking a leadership role, or, providing a service for the members. Next, administrators, clerks, service providers, and other staff must be retained on a full-time basis for a consistency of services to ALL members in an economic and timely manner. And finally, to minimize favoritism between friends and relatives, services become co-ordinated into routines clearly detailed in steps for efficiency and consistency. SAMENESS is justified as EQUAL fairness amongst the many. Or, is that Equal minimums amongst the many. An institution is born. Only by DRASTICALLY reducing the Population of the serviced group can you re-introduce professionalism, quality, and, timeliness.
   
   

3. Effectiveness improvements through the use of higher quality tests.
   In my personal diagnostic fiasco, using a Laproscopic diagnostic examination of the abdomen will, and could have, defined any contributing factors to the resulting symptoms, and, eliminate any of the many possible rationalized guesses of origin. Biopsies of small intestinal tissues could also be retrieved ... a difficult and dangerous consideration by any other means. There is a surgeon with a professional attitude in British Columbia, perhaps more than one, who has been practicing, improving, and teaching such surgeries for 30 years or more. The doctors in my local area, beyond which I have no formal, acceptable access to provincial sanctioned full service doctors won't even consider a referral ... possibly because they feel ashamed that they or the local hospitals and specialists cannot "handle" my diagnostic challenge, and, possibly because they fear that requesting such "expertise" will in some way bring them a disciplinary warning from the BC Health infrastructure. There is no way of knowing with certainty what the rationale is ... because there was no communication. A blank stare, pause, and introduction of another topic is not a constructive response.

   Private retaining of such an individual to perform this apparent ELEMENTARY diagnostic procedure (low surgical health impact, high effectiveness quotient, low tool/technology expense, potential for medical student and research learning enhancement) would be a positive option, for me, if and when I receive added financial resources in the form of honorarium (for some of my intense volunteer work), an inheritance (unlikely, with both parents and all aunts and uncles deceased), a private life insurance death benefit advance (very tricky as the revelation that one has a "terminal" illness can result in the withdrawal of one's insurance, it must be a terminal illness by a doctor's confirmation .. to qualify, and, if one survives they may be required to repay the advanced funds), a significant lottery win (highly unlikely according to the odds), or, a donation (not likely as I am making no efforts to acquire one). The doctor and service might have to be retained and attended in a country outside of Canada ... to which other North Americans with financial resources travel (China, Cuba, India, Mexico). As you can see, Canadians have a TWO level system of care: for those who can afford considerable expense, and, the rest.
   
   

4. Medical Patronage could be examined, reported, and, discouraged. INDEX
   Shame those swimming in privilege into becoming more respectful of and empathic towards those who equally deserve and need the medical service which they have withdrawn for personal benefit ... by the public awareness of the practice. If doctors and medical personnel experience that they will receive the same degree of attention, immediacy, and care as those they provide a service to ... they will do their best to provide the Quality of service which they hope they and their loved ones will receive when they are in need. The current dynamics reinforce feelings of Sacrifice-to-Authority, leading to Expectations of Privilege, resulting in abuses of disrespect to those seen as lowly OTHERS. Appointments become shams of routine point checking, non-existent or guessed diagnosis, and, a minimization for the improvement of the provider's skill and success.

   It is discouraging and encourages feelings of depression and despair in patients when one SEES that more costly diagnostic tests become quickly available (a few days) to the extended families of doctors and some politicians, while many in need WAIT for MONTHS. Other expressions of this are the medically educated prejudices that doctors often express towards patients. How could a "patient" know more about their body that the god-physician? How could a "patient" know more about a particular organ (after researching it intensively through medical journals, reports, and other data) than the god-physician. Yes, we know. No time to LISTEN. Much easier to mirror Authority, Pride, Entitlement ... as long as your own lifestyle and life are not in jeopardy. And, the prejudice goes further. Doctors believe other doctors assumptions and projections about their own health and that of others, without confirmation. Yet, I have experienced Emergency Department doctors who, separately, were clearly, and significantly misinformed and misunderstood heart attack enzyme responses, small vs large intestine function, the definition of "parasites", and, the endemic presence of both beneficial and pathological parasites in ALL humans.
   
   

5. Independent assessments of digital diagnostic tests by professional attitude practitioners who work outside the provincial health care infrastructures and restrictions. There are some accredited doctors who work IN each province of Canada, yet choose to work OUTSIDE the infrastructure and some of the restrictions. They must surrender any hospital privileges the system allows. Any diagnostic tests they choose for their patient must be paid for directly by the patient. All appointments and therapies, as well as any supplements and prescriptions must be totally paid for by the patient. Freedom costs, a lot! More often, the diagnostic assessment confirmations must be acquired from professionals who work in other countries. Sometimes, this distance is not that far from the Canadian border. Some Canadian-trained doctors and technicians have quietly crossed the border of their preferred provincial patient source and locate their INDEPENDENT clinics and offices in an adjoining state of the USA. Second assessments, in my experience, are NEVER allowed within an institution. Difference would bring disgrace to the doctors. Differences would often create emotional and career rifts between peers.

   In the past 10 years of living in or near the same BC location, I have only been allowed access to a family doctor who was in my area, and, who was accepting new patients. The availability was ONE, after a wait of a year, with few if any other alternatives in the interim ... unless, they work OUTSIDE the system ... which can be a financial nightmare. That means that realistic alternatives must be sought in OTHER countries, with ONE possible exception. Whether by personal desperation, or by rational intent, there have been a small number of briefly reported incidents in the mass media regarding severely ill patients travelling to another province. As I am most exposed to British Columbia media, it may not be surprising that these SURVIVORS have temporarily sought help in the neighboring province of Alberta.

   A patient with severe medical symptoms was bounced around the BC Health infrastructure for some weeks without finding a resolution in any diagnosis or treatment possibility. Whether by design or desperation, he went to Alberta. In either the city of Edmonton or Calgary, he was ACCURATELY diagnosed within 48 HOURS. Within 4 DAYS, he had surgical and pharmaceutical treatments for a dental-jaw infection which was feeding into his brain. Are Alberta doctors that much superior in skill to those in B.C.? More likely, it is an institutional dynamic. If a patient resident in British Columbia, and a member of the BC Health system travels to another province ... and falls ill, the destination province will have the FREEDOM to run whatever tests are considered relevant, without regard to cost, and, DELIVER whatever treatments are considered most likely to be EFFECTIVE, regardless of cost. The costs will be billed to the HOME province. Whether this dynamic is a manipulation of a poor system, a timely response in a novel location, or a necessary strategy in a desperate situation ... the result has been SURVIVAL for a number of BC residents who were nearing morgue status.
   
   

6. Who's the Boss? Who is Driving You? INDEX
   An institution is NEITHER an ASSOCIATION of Independent Professionals, nor, a INDEPENDENT Professionals sanctioned by a regulatory Authority. It is an EMPLOYER of clerks and technicians whose work is controlled and tightly directed according to "practice" routines ... which if not adhered to result in dismissal. Loss of such employment is a loss of career, stability, income, accreditation, respect, AND, a PUBLIC announcement of the judgement of the employer that you are unfit to practice. The outward deception that doctors working within the Canadian provincial monopolies of a Ministry of Health are independent actors, directed by an ethics of medicine, graciously provided with an employment infrastructure in return for their professional mercenary participation .. is bogus! FORCING doctors and other health care participants to straddle a chasm between independence and slavery invites all of the abuses of co-dependent relations which can develop. Both the slave and the master feel inadequately rewarded. The slave-doctor rebels against the shackles by adhering strictly to their technical requirements to the minimum. The master does its best to receive the greatest of accolades from peer masters for the maximum of work done with the minimum of expenditure.

   A more constructive, true, and fair organization of politicised healthcare would have been for the provincial government to hire doctors and other medical workers on the basis of education and merit, pay them a salary according to those skills, provide them with a workspace and tools, specify their WEEKLY work hours, and accept that they alone will be responsible for the QUALITY of their MEDICAL service, AND, that reports from their patients and improved and maintained health in their patients will build a PUBLIC profile of their sincerity and value. TIME would be spent with each patient according to what was BEST for a TIMELY DIAGNOSIS and Strong and Lasting RECOVERY from any Medical Ills. In the conclusion, the patient wins by being respected, having their ills diagnosed accurately, and recovering to stable health. The doctor wins by KNOWING that they have effected the BEST of their skills and knowledge, always open to improvement, in assisting their patient to maintain or improve their health. The province, as a symbolic entity of a community of resident members, wins by having taxpayers who are working at their BEST, undistracted by symptoms which encourage accidents and depression, and earning good and stable incomes which thereby provide maximum tax revenue.
   
   

7. Encouragement of a Professional Attitude.
   This factor contributes QUALITY and RESPECTFULNESS to a service.
   In the longer-term it brings economy and a consistency of expenditure.
   The alternative which we have boasts ever increasing budgets to clean up errors, impractical and irrelevant testing, complicated practices to evade responsibility, enables chronic illnesses to form an ever growing pandemic, and, justifies the deception of a citizenry in support of the lie of a fantasy ideal ... the examination of which is consistently denied, avoided, and minimized by both the financially dependent mass media and the authority and power-seeking political gentry.

   A Technician follows orders, practices, guidelines, and, obeys restrictions .. set by their gods, the managers and owners of jobs. Technicians are responsible for the EXACT following of these simple, direct, and predictable steps of procedures. Penalty for innovation, creativity, sensitivity, and self-direction is loss of income, and possibly, loss of social status and career continuance. It is the managers and owners who bear the responsibility for the relevancy, accuracy, timeliness, effectiveness, and efficiency of the procedures they have authorized and the guidelines they may modify daily and impose with power. Yet, in a provincial healthcare institution, it is the symbolic identity of the state (often in the form of a free-from-responsibility incorporation) and its shareholders (taxpayers) who are the owners. And, it is the enterprising technocrats, the agents of bureaucracy, who both insulate the owners from reality, and, purvey myths of the idealism of "Caring".

   The only way to encourage the development of and expression of an attitude of professionalism is to hire professionals who will be held responsible as professionals, paid as professionals, and, earn respect and trust as professionals. An environment which subverts its participants to that of technicians, slaves, robots, and pharmaceutical agents replaces sincerity for the wellbeing of the client/patient with sincerity for the longevity of their employment.
   
   

8. Appreciating the Best! INDEX
   Not so easy as you may think, and, easy to mess up, in a technocracy.
   "Technocracy" is used here as a word to denote an organization of people who live and work as technicians, rather than professionals. Even in such an employment environment, there will be individuals who occasionally, or frequently, carry out their duties in a manner that is considerate and respectful of the patient, and, sincerely seek EFFECTIVENESS more than Efficiency. Like tipping a waiter or waitress generously for attentive, pleasant, respectful, accurate, and experience heightening presence ... a nurse, medical technician, doctor, orderly, receptionist, or medical assistant may also help a patient with QUALITY. In my personal experiences, I find this experience rare from any one person, and even more rare from a team.

   At one point of severe pain, I went to an emergency department for possible diagnosis and resolution of my medical problems. The team were superlative in their service and harmony. While almost in physical shock throughout my visit, I did my best to remember the names of the staff, especially after the first few demonstrated a consistent positive orientation. Later, I phone the hospital and spoke with an emergency department officer. I explained that I would like to send a handwritten thank you to each member of the team such that they could know they were appreciated, and, could use it as a personal reference in the future if they chose to. The person took the message, knew who the head of the team I spoke of was (although she neither revealed part or all of the person's name), agreed to forward same, and said they would get back to me with the full names. It ended there. No reply, and no names. Why?
   
   

   In reflecting back to some early employment dynamics in offices with larger groups of employees, the likely reason for the silence came into light. In an environment where one's employment responsibility is detailed in a rigid work practice of detailed routines, going the LEAST brings you full pay. That is often the Efficiency level of activity which the managers or work "designers" have set as "normal" such that any employee could meet it. For technicians, a job is a routine. The more one practices an unchanging routine, the more automatic and easy it becomes. The never changing stability of the activities reinforces the dissociation the employee often develops towards the outcome of the process they are a cog in. If I am hired and undertake my position with an attitude of professionalism, I will have a Joy in learning, and a sincere concern for the buyer of the product or the user of the service. My innovativeness and creativity will likely encourage routine changes for decreased product or service delivery costs, increased buyer or user satisfaction, and, higher sales and bigger profits. What significant ERROR have I introduced into this environment?

   Routine changes impose a necessity for relaxed and lazy personnel to sacrifice effort and focus to learn. I will have motivated the management to RAISE the standard of Normal. Now, all of the employees following such a routine will have to work more diligently, perhaps faster than previously, and also more consistently ... than they have in the past. I have brought THEM a more difficult job with greater stress, a sense of competition, and, the possibility that I may repeat my success and have imposed upon them even more changes, and seemingly MORE work, for the old pay. I am now their enemy. They will be hypervigilant to discover any and all personal weaknesses, oversights, and, ways to distort any comments I make in hopes of by being terminated, or, feeling so rejected and defensive that ... I leave. Then, ever so slowly, procedures will revert to the older "normal", or, the company will suffer employee foot-dragging resistance.

   I would suggest that the only way of acknowledging excellent service in such a climate is first, to voice it in person, at the time ... if you can drag yourself free of physical shock and other distractions. Secondly, it can only SAFELY be carried out anonymously, and, impersonally. Your wish is that those most deserving the applause will recognize that the praise is targeted towards them. It will be a general thank you note, or gift, to "the Department."
   
   

9. REALITY is NOW, not when you finished your training. INDEX
   

   A common educated IGNORANCE and misperception has pervaded the Canadian (and I'm told, the American) medical community from its beginning. Recognition of what a PARASITE is, and what a human health compromising parasite is, their endemic and transformative ability, how to diagnose them, and, how to treat them. Parasites are any LIFEFORM which stays alive, and may reproduce, by using a part of the nutrition, energies, and movement of a host. That means that bacteria, fungi, single-celled organisms, viruses, worms, and others ... are parasites. If it is a complex living form, it has parasites. A large part of our digestive system is populated with a parasitic "flora" which processes some of the foods we eat so that we can assimilate nutrients from them. Some excrete hormones and enzymes to assist our body in remaining "normal" and healthy.

   There are beneficial parasites and destructive ones that inhabit, invade, or attack most larger, complex lifeforms, including plants. Under micro- or macro-environmental stress, parasites tend to MUTATE. Some mutate from helpful partners to persistent enemies. Others mutate from dangerous, to destructive. Some parasites feed on and kill other parasites. Antibiotics are typically fungal parasites which we ingest to kill destructive bacterial parasites. Both destructive and beneficial parasites can transfer from one individual plant, animal, fish, bird, human ... to another. Some parasites can transfer easily, or, with difficulty between one lifeform and another. Plant viruses can sometimes transfer to humans. Such transfers may not be dangerous. A virus, dangerous and destructive to a plant, may transfer to a human with no health diminishing symptoms in the human, or, it may enable a non-dangerous parasite to become dangerous.
   
   

   Most of the Canadian population has accumulated from the arrival of bursts of refugees from Europe and Asia. They came at times when their homeland was devastated by overpopulation (and unemployment), war, or hunger. Currently (2016), Canada is inviting a new wave of immigration, targeting refugees from these factors again. This time, there will often be a delay between when the refugees leave their home and when they arrive in Canada. That pause and scramble will expose them, sometimes for months, even years, to an itinerant lifestyle with access to contaminated water, poor personal hygiene, less than fresh food, disturbed sleep, trauma memories, and, desperate economic hardship. Many WILL have some form of parasite (destructive) infestation. The symptoms of such make diagnosis often difficult and socialization confusing and challenging.

   When someone has a destructive parasite infestation, the symptoms may present in a contradictory fashion, and, they will rarely present in the acute style which Canadian Emergency Departments seem only capable of coping with currently. The patient will not have broken bones, fevers, be reporting stroke or heart attack symptoms, be bleeding, or, have been in a serious motor vehicle accident, industrial calamity, or, be reacting to intense pain awareness. More likely, they will have some of the following: distraction, anxiety, muscle and joint aches and pains, headache, loss of weight, or gain, constipation or diarrhea, skin itching or fungal patches, periodontal disease, a ease to anger, and, either be overstimulated, or, physically depressed. I know because I had one in the mid-1990s, in the province of Ontario. I went to a "specialist" who told me, like the B.C. Emergency Department doctor recently told me, that "Canadians don't get parasites."
   
   

   In Ontario, I even took a sample of stool with me to the doctor which readily exhibited destructive parasite contamination. The doctor was not interested in challenging his ignorance nor the system. It wasn't a "formal" sample, he mentioned. End of discussion. As a quite good investigator, I found non-medical means of eliminating these parasites and rid myself of them. No thanks to the sanctioned authorities who had the resources, power, and authority ... yet just chose to follow the institutional credo. How many other Canadian live in needless chronically sabotaged health, or die?

   The presentation of destructive parasite infestation WILL become an ever more obvious Canadian medical problem. If it is to be in any way addressed, for the harmony of the society, ER staff better be trained to acknowledge its existence, be sensitive to the symptoms, and have a protocol for treatment of it. And, the infrastructure will best support their efforts by providing them with meaningful tests ... they have NONE now (2016-10), and the funding to provide some form of follow-up. Well, we can dream, right.
   
   

10. Diagnosis is easiest accomplished with the most relevant dynamic. * NEW
    

    In my current (2016-10) dilemma of finding an ACCURATE diagnose of the small intestine impaction I have been coping with for almost 4 years, after the symptoms began 10 years ago, it became obvious that neither an ultrasound nor a CT SCAN were appropriate, or, the doctors assessing them were incompetent. You may not like the word "incompetent", yet a USA doctor lecturing on CT SCAN reading, which he has done for more than 20 years, made a clear distinction between interpretations that were completed in 45 SECONDS and those completed in 45 MINUTES. The "artistry" he was speaking about, which is afforded a professional who takes the longer time, is that, in some situations, several or many smaller factors may contribute to a SIGNIFICANT medical problem. A fast glance until one find just ONE small instance and then a quick dismissal of the test as "unremarkable" is an insult to the COST of the test, the payment for the assessment, and the health of the patient. It also sets an example to be mirrored, even if someone dies.

    MRI's were much more definitive diagnostic tools than CT SCANs, so I had been told by BC Health doctors. Contacting a PRIVATE MRI scan provided, I was given the reality. His straightforward answer, recently (2016-10-28) was that MRI's were POOR diagnostic tools for the intestines, in particular. They would not likely be able to define any difference between an impaction composed purely of "stool", and one in which the normal liquid content of the small intestine was surrounding and concealing one or more parasite infestations, one or more cysts or tumors, or one or more foreign objects. Until a real professional doctor has a better alternative, this leaves the possibility of a laparoscopy examination of the small intestine, with a possible entry into and biopsies of the internal tissues of the small intestine .. as a good diagnostic possibility. An alternative, possibly better, would be a Laproscopic insertion of an endoscope into the small intestine for internal visual inspection, prior to, or coincident with, biopsies being taken.
    
    

    After EIGHT years of occurrence, it has recently made the national Canadian news that the use of a particular (unspecified) brand of wire brushes used for cleaning barbecue grills had been losing metal strands in its use. Some of these metal strands were NOT cleaned off the grill and became ingested with the meat cooked on the grill. Patients reported pain wherever the metal slivers lodged ... tongue, esophagus, stomach, intestines ... reported to provincial healthcare doctors, for YEARS, without diagnosis. The intestines, and most internal human body organs, do NOT have sensory nerves. We do not feel movements of the intestines or the stomach, or, we would be too distracted to remain conscious of our surroundings.

    Anyone who has studied the basics of physiology, nerves, and muscles is likely to be aware of the point that stimulating a nerve can result in either a contraction or a relaxation of a muscle. If one or more metal slivers barbed into small intestine sphincters (valves) or other tissues .. that could either STOP peristaltic actions (resulting in the longer-term personal symptom of "peristaltic paralysis"), and/or, the longer-term, 4-year, attendant fixed closure of the valves. But who is to know? It is all guesswork and rationalized excuses until someone takes RELEVANT actions and makes a PROFESSIONAL assessment.

Disclaimer: Reality acceptance. INDEX

EFFECTIVENESS is doing the best with those resources available to us.
When someone else controls your income, restricts your access to resources, and stipulates your budget ... you are no more than a pawn in someone else's chess game. It is effective for them, as long as you support the program and stay in the game.

RESPONSIBILITY, for oneself, and, within the mandates of one's profession are positive ideals.
Ideals are INTENTIONS which, by our attitudes and efforts, and, with the support of others who agree with such ideals, can affect reality. The HUMAN example, as recorded by humans in their short written history, is that such IDEALS are often sought, and NEVER met.

Who's Responsible?
BLAMING others is most often a reality of holding someone Responsible for actions or attitudes which they have largely had imposed upon them by their exposure to and experience of the non-ideal participation of relatives, teachers, religious leaders, writers, and, the mass media. Blaming can be a form of bullying in which those who have allowed ... often by a lack of constructive example, a mass media concentration on conflict escalating dynamics, and an absence of supervision ... strike back verbally and emotionally against someone who has been physically or power-wielding aggressive towards them. The bully may be young, immature, and weak in self-esteem and self-centered in their obsession with control. They may just as often be following a relationship dynamic they witness DAILY between their parents, political leaders, or religious rebels.

The predatory use of power (expressed physically or by way of a wealth of some form of resource) to take-by-force from others what one wants-without-earning-effort, or, wants by privilege or entitlement is endemic within ALL mass societies currently (2016). While individuals have CHOICE, they are OFTEN motivated to engage in disrespectful and manipulative actions and behaviors by needs (a perceived significant lack of) for acceptance, employment availability, and safety ... to deny the dynamic of respectful and empathic sharing, and, self-control, as an option and a choice.

Who said or did what?
DOCTORS, technicians, scientists, therapists, and others will NOT be named in this summary.
There is NO benefit to myself or to the larger population in doing so.
At best, a few persons will be alerted to weaknesses in a political infrastructure.
At worst, a few persons will be excluded from their professions, as incompetent.
As usual, the drama will fade quickly, the issues will be forgotten, and, opportunity for improvement will be lost. Individuals willing to acquire and repeat the practices of the original failed professionals will replace those who have been banished.

Real incidents involve real people in specific locations at particular times.
Those who feel threatened (guilty) by the open reporting of THEIR responses and actions, or, who fear a social backlash against their profession (shame) by those they have committed to assist .. will seek to determine the identities of those involved in the health plan abuses I have noted. With enough research and access to records, those names can be found. Ultimately, the patient and the citizen is responsible for the care provided to them by caregivers sanctioned "in their name" by politically controlled organizations, and paid from taxes they contribute for payment.

Yes, most of you are ignorant of how your monies are spent and of how long and deeply you have been deceived. And, it is the MANY who have supported the status quo through their lack of communication to their political representatives, their ritualistic support of a political party regardless of its impotent policies, and their imprinted focus on "how much can we get for how little" attitude ... that has enabled their wholesale self-deception and manipulation by the media. Replacing a few slaves will not replace the institution of slavery from within most forms of politically controlled healthcare.

THIS Document is to encourage the successful diagnosis of a long-term MEDICAL problem by someone willing to use their experience and knowledge to RISK the innovation of true professionalism: finding a Solution. To be successful, in this manner, one benefits from the knowledge of the INDICATORS (symptoms) of the Dis-ease, the OBVIOUS factors (contributors) that frequently have been shown to encourage such a Reality, and, the baseline EXPERIENCE of one or more individuals in their exposure to the weaknesses/problem(s). I have done my best to afford you these benefits. Repeating the well-worn errors of sanctioned provincial healthcare practice is a waste of your time, and, of my life. If you want to maintain and strengthen your health, it won't be easy.

Why not widely circulate my name, address, phone number, and e-mail?
This effort, perhaps 10 hours of typing with no editing, is a request for assistance from those it was DIRECTLY sent to, who have my contact details in THEIR cover letter. I have asked that they note whatever they find valued from that letter, and destroy it. I also gave them authorization to republish this document, if they choose, WITHOUT altering it to add Google or other search engine tracking software (now added to most webpages) whose purpose is to TRACK the visitor/reader (YOU) and PUSH advertisements at you while building an identity profile of you so they can manipulate your attitude and purchases.

If you have any in-depth experience of the Internet, you will recognize that a sure way to lose confidence in humanity and waste a large part of your time and energies attempting to be LIKED or Accepted is to spread yourself over more than 600 social media sites. More than anything, these, in my exposure, tend to draw a magnitude of immature-inexperience, uninformed-deceived, self-centred, insecure participants that 98% of the time misinterpret, misquote, exaggerate, and react to anything posted. All of these reactions do more to misinform any sincerely interested individual. For the larger audience, this outline of possibilities and realities is of no benefit as a "character" piece in which all the attention is made to focus on an individual hero, leader, spokesperson ... as opposed to the issues. YOU can be your own advocate.

Bottom Line. INDEX

Consider an analogy which can be perceived to be an easier way for more readers to understand the major dynamics expressed above.

We (Canadians) have a huge population (over 100,000 persons) within a confined boundary.

In order to avoid the chaos of 100,000 persons each demanding their personal preferences be imposed on everyone else, a leader and a "band of brothers-and-sisters" (government) have been "elected" to rationalize about, negotiate, and establish and institute the enforcement of laws. These regulations are intended to provide the greatest benefits to the most members with the least hardship for anyone. A large administrative crew (technicians) is hired to provide the technical services required to sustain these policies.

Everyone within such ORDERED environment is invited to be a member (citizen) receiving member auto services in return for a minimum membership fee (taxes).

Of universal concern is a desire to have a UNIVERSAL (monopolistic) automobile service to maintain and repair all vehicles (bodies) to a designated level of operability such that few accidents and few deaths result from daily use. EVERYONE has a car (body). Most owners and drivers know very little about the workings of their car and have neither the tools, knowledge, or inclination to sincerely maintain and repair it. Their main concern is that the car take them where they want to go, when they want to go, and they will keep it supplied with fuel. Their government provides them with continual CONFIDENCE (deception) by way of advertisements and dollar controlled mass media, and motivates their Trust (and Passivity) through an educational (Attitude manipulation) consistent (imprinting) form of behavioral modification. The service (system), for most members, appears to work perfectly.

Jean is driving the children to school and on the way to work when a squeak is heard.
Annoyed, and concerned, the car is taken into a nearby auto health unit. Up on the hoist and a quick look around plus a lubrication of all hinges and joints and this driver is sent on their way.

Over the next few days, the car continues to emit the same form of squeak during its use.
Back into the repair depot (hospital). A technician notes the concern, checks the notes made by the last technician, rechecks and relubricates all of the grease joints. Jean is asked for a few particulars about the frustrating sound. Does it happen ALL of the time? Where does it seem to originate from? Jean states that it doesn't happen ALL the time, and it seems to originate in the front of the car. The technician considers an intermittent problem unimportant. The location stated as "the front" is too general to more than confuse the technician. A few taps and opening and closing of covers and the technician hopes Jean will leave and not return.

Over the next 6 MONTHS, the squeaking sound continues and other irregularities in operation begin to appear. The car seems to pause or jerk in motion, at times, briefly, ... and in what appears to be certain highway locations or conditions. Twelve time, Jean returns to the service depot. On most visits, the car receives another lubrication service. Sometimes, the technician wonders if it could be an engine problem, yet, on most of those occasions the specialist required to operate the computerized diagnostic equipment is either not working that day (only works 3 days per week because the centre cannot afford to hire a full-time specialist) or they are away at another location. Eventually, the specialist is available, runs the test protocol, takes a glance, and pronounces Jean's car to be in "excellent condition". Jean is further annoyed. Is there another specialist who could review the assessment? No. The service department staff are beginning to cringe when they see Jean arriving.

Jean is driving the children and spouse to a party and while following a curve on the expressway, the car strikes a bump. Suddenly, the steering wheel begins to vibrate severely and Jean cannot control the car. It feels like the car is going to self-destruct. It wobbles across 2 lanes of traffic, broadsiding a truck, swerving in front of another car, and bouncing back to crush another car and involve yet others in an "accident." How could this have happened. Jean always had the car serviced up-to-date. Jean had been concerned about unusual signs and symptoms experienced about the car and had, many times, taken it to the Universal Auto Care Centre. There, technicians and experts had assured Jean that there was nothing to worry about. "You're being paranoid" they said to Jean and told him to ignore the symptoms ... "they'll go away ... our tests indicate that the car is in perfect condition". Jean was beginning to doubt the service. Having difficulty starting the car. Finding the tires unevenly wearing. Having to use, or thinking that it was necessary to use, a higher octane fuel ... did not signal "normal" to Jean who had been driving cars for many decades.

Fourteen persons were taken to the hospital, two cars were destroyed, six vehicles in addition to that of Jean were HIGHLY damaged. Two persons died, one of Jean's children and the spouse. The other child, and and 8 other persons end up in critical care facilities. Jean and the remainder of those injured found themselves with non life-threatening injuries. What had happened? An accident (medical) examiner intensively surveyed the mass of wreckage and noted Jean's description of the event, as well as the concerns about vehicle operation leading up to the "accident."

The insurance (coroner's) report indicated that the tie rod connecting the steering wheel to the front axle had severely worn bushings. At low and moderate speed, there would be no indication of serious problem. At higher speeds, the joint would be more susceptible to erratic movements ... and with the jolt of a BUMP in the pavement, an acceleration of the vibration and amplification of the FORCE would ... pull and push the turning wheels rapidly in one direction and then another ... impossible for any human to control. Was this an "accident" or was there negligence? Someone has Authority, Power, Control, and Access. The Universal Auto Health Department is a symbolic entity but it doesn't run itself like a self-energized robot, does it?

Jean's "Service Record" confirmed that timely maintenance had been done, and, that irregularities of operation had been frequently reported. The report of the insurance investigator (medical examiner / coroner) indicated that Jean was not likely driving erratically. The police records indicated that Jean's history showed no traffic or other legal misconduct charges. The records of the Service Centre indicated that the car had been in the shop (doctor's office / hospital) on numerous occasions. The technicians and experts had discerned nothing that disrupted their examination routines.

The investigator had the experience and knowledge of auto workings, repairs, and crashes to know that this form of mechanical (organ) failure could have been EASILY, and SIMPLY detected, remedied, and prevented. During ANY of the lubrication procedures, a technician could have taken a minimal professional interest and have grabbed hold of the TIE ROD assembly and ball joint and GENTLY flexed it to determine wear and stability. A worn and weak joint would have felt loose and sloppy .. time to replace. Problem solved. TIME = 20 SECONDS. End of squeak. Prevention of catastrophe. Prevention requires personnel who enjoy SOLVING problems, not just ameliorating symptoms, and denying concerns.

How do we learn from this INCIDENT such that others are avoided.
First, the insurance investigator cannot report that the Universal Service Provider, or any of their technicians are negligent. He works for the same government/employer that they do. And, within the "guidelines" of his/her work, reporting that form of error is unacceptable .. and would result in termination for not determining an institutional acceptable ruling. Jean, the driver cannot be held responsible and made a patsy because of the evidence of the reports of the Centre and the legal authorities. As the insurance investigator is increasingly annoyed with, yet learning to adapt and become less sincere about the work, the only acceptable reason that can be concluded is that of an "unavoidable accident." And, many insurance investigators (medical examiners) across North America are now opening stating that MOST accidents are the result of HUMAN errors and negligence, not some implicit problem in the design of the car.

RESULTS:
Several cars (bodies) have been destroyed.
Many cars are in need of significant repair.
People have died; others are disabled, all survivors are traumatized.
No one in the Universal Auto Service Plan organization is held to be responsible.
The government agents and their administrative crew are unaware of ANY irregularities.
EVERYTHING continues as it was. THIS is the "normal".
Are YOU a member (citizen).
Do you have a car (body)?

1. Introduction: What is this about? INDEX
   Not so easy as you may think, and, easy to mess up, in a technocracy.
   

   It was suggested to me by an reader of the 2016-10-25 document that I might best include a statement disclosing HOW the professional negligence - inadequacy of the British Columbia Health Service had FORCED changes in my lifestyle, employment, income, and, savings ... and how they might affect many others. These statements and this awareness, by the evidence of what has been printed in newspapers, journals, and magazines about the LOSSES to individuals with provincial residency and membership, are NIL to non-existent.

   By the paucity of reports about such medical abuse and political denial, the general public is deceived into believing that few individuals encounter such health-limiting dynamics. The same has been true, in Canada, for the prevalence of Nosocomial (hospital acquired) illnesses. These illnesses are acquired in both British Columbia and Ontario, and likely other provinces, as I know of specific persons who have died from them after entering a hospital for a test or procedure which was considered minimal in risk and duration. The reports do exist; I have seen them.

   If you are not a provincial healthcare worker, these and other died-by-exposure-to-the-healthcare industry reports will likely be difficult to find as they have typically been considered INTERNAL documents to be withheld from the potentially critical, and responsibility demanding, eyes of reporters and the general public. Thus, each of the hundreds of persons so affected life threatening chronic illness difficulties is likely to consider themselves as some form of minimal anomaly. A greater openness and examination about such realities may better acquaint the inexperienced public with an example of how the lives of those they feel close to, or even themselves, may change according to the near-to-distant, yet REAL possibility that they will become such a person.
   
   

   This endpiece is in preparation for a possible class-action suit against the British Columbia Health Ministry, or, a personal suit for damages by myself while alive, or, a wrongful death suit against them by a survivor. This is one of those instances in mass society, big institutions, and ever bigger industries in which the individual can NEVER be compensated according to their losses. Some of those losses defy Quantification, and, because political authorities have a long tradition of cloaking their responsibilities in the legalistic reduced rationalizations of an entitled schoolchild deflecting guilt to their rescuing parent: Authority, and their protective parent: Power.

   That is, true, yet brief change, has historically been delayed until the RAGE of those victimized erupts with a French guillotine, an American revolution, a Pol Pot massacre, or, a South American coup. Justice may be morally justified by the failure of the promises of those with the Authority and Power; so often, particularly for the individual, justice is denied because TRUTH demands Responsibility ... and everyone wants Confidence in an IMAGE/Fantasy of IMPOSED Order. That IMAGE, in the form of a Myth, is often basic to the educational, mass media, and political attitude shapers of mass society.
   
   

2. Prejudice : Authority + Ego = Lies. INDEX
   

   Authority distorted by ego pride and sheltered by the security of institutions FREQUENTLY results in persons with chronic medical conditions being labeled with and stereotyped into categories which promote abandonment, anger, impatience, denial, and, more pride. While this has been my own experience, I was in a group of persons who were experiencing dramatic health loss symptoms referred to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Almost anyone with the strength and remaining self esteem to write or speak out confirmed this to also be their own experience ... whether in Canada, the USA, the UK. What I found in my research .. which led to the RECOVERY of myself and my then wife, is that the condition referred to as CFS-ME is actually a PERSONALIZED aggregation of 7 or 8 illnesses out of a possible 14. There are 1000 combinations. For recovery, the INDIVIDUAL must be correctly diagnosed for ALL of what they have, and, each of those illness conditions must be treated in a specific order. Hence, almost no one recovers.

   I quote below from two EARLY examples of statements written by British Columbia medical specialists. In each case, the doctors chose NOT to run ANY significant tests to diagnose the presenting ailments. When their guess diagnoses and simplistic tests failed, they blamed the patient for their poor skills. A third statement from 2004/5, of similar tone, I cannot find at this time (2016-11). The POWER of their statements is born out by the consistent responses by other British Columbia doctors over the following TEN years. That is, those doctors assumed that the specialist was NEVER wrong, NEVER egotistically inclined, and, that the original Judgements reflected a CORRECT diagnosis. There are thousands of examples of this failing of authority structures spanning across EVERY field of endeavor.

   Thanks for asking me to see this gentleman. He has chronic fatigue. ...
   He seems quite obsessed by the treatment of his condition and in his search for an underlying cause. ... our interventions would be to start him on trazodone or Elavil. ... He might actually benefit from having (counseling and support) done by a psychiatrist or psychologist as again he may have some obsession with his condition which is out of my area of expertise. ... The other interventions we would do is to add in medications such as Wellbutrin or Alertec to try to improve his mood. ...

   "review of Meditech reveals a history of atypical chest pain with unremitting investigations. Chronic fatigue, alleged MI in the 30s x 3 though no record of this ..."
   March 06, 2009, Dr Anna L. Tan / Dr Niall J Davidson
   Consultation report between doctors following a skiing accident.

   
   

   I do not have access to the Meditech report, which likely ALL doctors in British Columbia do, so I cannot confirm if any but the barest details of "MI" are indicated, or, confirm its meaning. As Meditech is an AMERICAN medical records service ... the medical records of Canadians are possibly available to most physicians across North America. Forget privacy. Perhaps typically, if the illness is not resolved MEDICALLY, and is not accurately DIAGNOSED, or not diagnosed at all ... it is never acknowledged as having been recovered from. So much for relevancy. My doctor has been informed MANY times since late 2008, that I recovered from CFS-ME. It is impossible to work an accumulation of 15 hours per WEEK for anyone with CFS-ME, let alone the 60 to 70 hours per week I worked for over 2-1/2 YEARS in the interim.

   In the institutional MEDICAL field, it is usual for doctors to reduce all information

3. Relevancy : Converting numbers into truths. INDEX
   

   In a court of law, it would be normal for a defense attorney to question issues which could discount, deny, or distort any responsibility being sought of the accused .. which here would be any provincial healthcare system. Concealing the details of incidents continually reinforces the success of the proud, though, sharing them tends to elicit lengthy descriptions -- life is seldom black and white simple.

   Here are several issues which would best be clarified with sufficient detail to determine where the boundaries of responsibility are deserved. Chronic ill-health conditions can be the result of one or many factors. Most of these, in my lifelong experience of 70 years, are seldom accurately diagnosed, treated, or resolved by a government funded and controlled healthcare system. To the degree that individuals can find resolutions to these difficulties, ANY healthcare service could assist in encouraging these forms of resolution for any of their members.

   Whiplash injuries.
   

   1977 -- Major whiplash, coma for 3 days -- driver turned left into front corner of car as I was passing through an expressway GREEN light, north of Newmarket, Ontario. Likely speed of crash: 50 mph.
   

   1984 -- Major whiplash -- driver ran into and wrote off the rear of the Chev Blazer I was in. I was stopped behind a driver making a left turn, from a city street. Likely speed of crash: 30 mph or more.

   2000 -- Major whiplash -- driver at expressway speed struck the driver's side of my car while I was crossing an intersection, in northeastern Australia. The car I was driving was written off by the insurance company. The motor had hesitated during the crossing. Likely speed of crash: 50 mph.

   The longer a whiplash injury takes to present, the more major it is.
   The body goes into shock; symptoms are delayed. Shock leaves; pains & stiffness appear suddenly.
   The trauma of the FORCE of the accident is remembered by the body as a automatic reactive response associating certain factors the body became aware of at the time of the accident with current similar dynamics. In an addictive manner, the body perceives dangers, raise defences (tenses muscles), and maintains conditions of subluxations and taut tissues. Symptoms become chronic, and can be acute in level of intensity.

   ALL of the above WHIPLASH incidents repeated this "protection" pattern.
   I was told that I would likely never recover from the first one. It took me 7 years to find which skills, treatments and procedures would enable recovery ... some of which I developed with the direction of God. After the second whiplash, and equipped with the recovery protocol tested and learned from the first, I FULLY recovered in about 7 WEEKS. After the third whiplash, I fully recovered in about 7 DAYS.
   
   

   
   Elavil prescription use.
   1974? -- Prescribed at Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington -- following lumbar puncture procedure which resulted in 48 hours of continuous torture due to lack of preparation, supervision, follow-up. During my adult life, I had easily maintained a constant weight of 145 pounds. Taking Elavil, I added 20 pounds which no diet or exercise would reduce.

   Ten YEARS later, the pharmaceutical industry acknowledged that WEIGHT GAIN was a frequent side effect of the drug. It appears, from prescribing practices, that British Columbia doctors are unaware of this factor, choose NOT to alert their patients to this likelihood, and are not interested in hearing any research findings or experiences from patients. I eventually lost some of the added weight ... by fasting for 21 days.

   "Elavil is used for the treatment of depression.
   While it is not entirely clear how it works, the medicine is known to affect several chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and norepinephrine. Potential side effects of Elavil include dry mouth, constipation, and dizziness. ... It may also be used "off-label" to help relieve chronic pain and to prevent migraine headaches. Elavil can also help with bedwetting, ADHD, fibromyalgia, and bulimia. The medicine is also effective at helping people quit smoking. ... Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber."

   1974? -- Prescribed at Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington -- following a botched surgical procedure.
   I was NEVER advised of any potential side effects, nor, asked for feedback.

   2005-12-22 Recommended by Dr. Dunne, above.
   When a politically sanctioned medical specialist is willfully in denial of the destructive, and universal, side effects of a drug, rejects any feedback from their patient ... about possible earlier experiences as evidence against taking it ... the person who is intended to inspire trust, earns distrust.

   
   

   
   Manerix prescription use. R-INDEX
   (In the institutional MEDICAL field, it is usual for doctors to reduce all information about a drug
   to the minimum ... a CLASSIFICATION ... which indicates its Marketed TARGET symptom.
   I have NEVER met a doctor, in either the province of Ontario or the province of British Columbia, who has the slightest interest in HOW the drug works, WHERE the side effects originate, or, WHAT other health difficulties it can provide relief to.

   Manerix is classified as an (Emotional) ANTI-DEPRESSANT. If you use it, what goes on your health record, and went on mine, is that you are being treated for "MI", a euphemistic reduction of "Mental Illness".)

   I have used Manerix, as supported by scientific reports, for ..
   1. Mercury toxicity symptom alleviation;
   2. Control of bacterial & fungal overgrowth;
   3. Potential genetic modification of intestinal tissues.
   The institutional record shows that I have been "treated" for 3 periods of MI.
   
   

   ONE
   1997? -- Prescribed by psychiatrist at Scarborough General Hospital outpatient to address unresolved concerns with colon dysfunction and bleeding symptoms; otherwise undiagnosed. He cautioned that there would not be any noticeable influence of the drug for 3 weeks. Within 24 hours, my intestinal functions improved. Evidence later indicated that the serotonin boost by Manerix had reduced the presence of destructive fungi (aspergillus and candida albicans) contributing to blockages in the intestines. Removal of specific leaking mercury dental amalgams, about a year later, and encouraged by research findings I had uncovered, resulted in an IMMEDIATE disappearance of depressed intestinal function (peristaltic paralysis). I no longer required the Manerix to facilitate PHYSICAL function, so I discontinued it.

   2003; 52: 169-171 - Journal of Medical Microbiology -- Serotonin (Manerix) can fight fungus.
   This article was not discovered until at least 2006, or later.

   TWO
   2005-04-29 Began prescription for Manerix in an attempt to influence constant CFS-ME symptoms.
   This did NOT make a dramatic improvement in the symptoms I had. As many people with CFS-ME can testify, stopping the slide into ever worsening health is itself an achievement. This was more than a year after I had suddenly (a term familiar to most persons with a true CFS-ME variation) had my health condition plummet. It was also 4 years before I would equally suddenly recover.

   On March 18, 2004, almost a year earlier, I had demanded that my dentist remove two molars that had gold crowns. On their removal, it was discovered that large mercury amalgam deposits had been underneath each. The dentist was astonished and remarked that in the 30 years of his experience, it was evidence of the 2nd worst case of dental mercury poisoning he had ever seen. Mercury toxicity can lodge in any and/or multiple organs. Its presence does NOT make the organs dysfunctional. It simply DEPRESSES their activity to result in difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. The dentist was surprise that I was still walking and had not contracted a cancer, had a heart attack, or encountered some other dramatic health problem. Because CFS-ME is a package of as many as 8 of 13 possible illnesses, combined in one of as many as 1000 combinations, its symptoms are not INDIVIDUALLY considered DRAMATIC.

   This development answered as to why these GOLD crowns had felt very warm at times, even though I had not drank anything hot nor eaten hot food. Moisture (saliva) had seeped in under the crown through breaks in the adhesive. A natural electrolytic action (mercury-gold-water) had converted ALL of the mercury into bioavailable gas which had leached into my organs. It was a most likely LARGE contributor to my crossing the health threshold into CFS-ME. It would take 2 YEARS of chelation intravenous treatments to detoxify the mercury from my system ... as clearly evidenced and confirmed by hair diagnostic tests which I PRIVATELY obtained and paid for.

   The Manerix DID serve to limit the amplification of bacterial periodontal disease (contributes to heart failure & disease), which has scientifically been demonstrated to accompany dental mercury amalgam leakage (age), until I had the mercury amalgam removed, and, the mercury toxicity chelated out. The Manerix partly countered the PHYSICALLY Depressive influence of the heavy metal toxicity and its accompanying destructive bacterial and fungal presence. This was the SECOND incident of acute heavy metal poisoning which I addressed. The medical industry had much opportunity to DIAGNOSE either, and, failed in both to show any interest in sincere diagnosis, run definitive tests, provide solutions.

   
   

   THREE
   2015-09 -- Possible remodification of intestinal tissues in hopes of return of normal functions.
   Manerix was manufactured with a number of viruses included in it. (see elsewhere)
   Genetically modified mice, which internally produce higher levels of the drug base, are used as a living factory. They must be slaughtered to harvest the hormones. These mice were known to be susceptible, endemically, to certain viruses. Originally, in the production stage of the drug, there was no way known to either define which viruses were present, from a group, or, to remove or neutralize them. They were directly transferable to human patients who often experienced viral symptoms of headaches, nausea, sweats, and/or digestive irregularities either when they began a Manerix regime, or, in the beginning and during their taking of the drug ... either continuously, or, intermittently. The POTENTIAL benefit of anti-depression was rationalized as worth the risk of the side effects. Such has been a historical justification for the production and use of many pharmaceuticals.

   In Genetic Modification, a virus is used in modifying genetic coding as a carrier to implant genes from other lifeforms in the (protected) host/plant/crop. When a predator/insect/herbivore eats that plant, the genetically modified nature of the plant is most "effective" when digestion of it releases a virus and the implanted foreign genes to effect changes in the attacker/eater. This process can, and has, influenced LARGE mammals. In 2008, water buffaloes which ate leaves (forage) of a specific genetically modified crop, consistently DIED within 24 HOURS. My research in the months previous to this date (2015-09), suggested that my own digestive/elimination problems might have been a result of a similar transformation(s) of my intestinal tissues. Manerix was my only KNOWN option of willfully exposing my system to one or more known viruses in addition to specific foods ... the result of which could be a further transformation of tissues to a healthier dynamic.

   My doctor was aware that I had used Manerix previously.
   I DID have concerns, extending from my work, that political dynamics were pushing humanity ever closer to a likelihood of self-driven extinction. For the benefit of the doctor, I did answer his questions to complete a B.C. Health depression checklist. The likely only positive answer in support of "emotional" depression was my realistic concern (considering my behind-the-scenes awareness) of the ell-supported future conflicts. Together with the previous prescription duration (2005), I was given a prescription. Manerix was now available in a non-generic form made under license to the original pharmaceutical company. Even though I had copies of research study results indicating the presence of the viruses, no one would either admit to their presence now, or, they did not have access to the information ... which had long earlier been scrubbed from the Internet.

   A problem presented in that the more recently produced Manerix might now be clean of some or all viruses due to modified practices. Both varieties were available. The earlier now cost 800% more than the recently licensed variety. I began by ordering a month's supply of each. I DID find a defined and significant difference between the two production lots in terms of influence on my symptoms, and, side effects. As a DRUG, and for the FIRST time in my multiple uses, I did find a mood change towards the Positive, within 48 HOURS. This was unexpected, or, perhaps more accurately, I had no precedent on which to place any expectation. I had learned, by experience, that if I were Spiritually Guided (prayer) to choose and test a possible illness reducing tactic ... the result was ALWAYS positive. Such efforts either resulted in a defined progression towards recovery, or, directly to recovery.

   After a few months, there was no longer a benefit to my use of Manerix.
   I stopped using it in February, 2016. I have NEVER had any follow-up from my doctor as to whether it helped, if I were continuing to use it, if I had any problems with it, if I needed/wanted a new prescription ....

   
   

   
   Vehicle accidents.
   In addition to the Whiplash injuries, noted above:
   1972 -- Struck from behind by a driver at 30 mph or higher, while stopped to yield to oncoming traffic on an entry ramp into the Stoney Creek, Ontario, traffic circle. Knocked unconscious. Taken to Brant Memorial Hospital. Released within hours. No following symptoms or difficulties.
   
   

   
   Other accidents.
   Growing up on a mixed farm, frequent daily physical activities were a normal & required part of life. Until, and only when, health declines prevented this ACTIVE lifestyle, it was a regular part of both my lifestyle and my work activities. Generally, the more active one is, the more one is exposed to the risk of accidents and injuries.

   1952 -- In the Spring, I was exposed to a near point-blank explosion while squatting over a pile of bonfire coals. Arriving home from public school, a bonfire was in its last stages in the orchard. I went to it and stirred the coals to bring the fire back to life. At that moment, an explosion occurred (confirmed later to have been multiple blasting caps used in earlier road building), lifting me and throwing me against the truck of a cherry tree about 15 feet away. Loose gravel on the driveway, about 80 feet away, rattled. The last image I saw was of some of the gravel being lifted an inch off the surface. I was taken to the hospital.

   Surgeons removed some ash from my eyes. A burn and scar was left on the left eye.
   It would weaken and partially hinder the eyesight in that eye for most of my life. I was fortunate to be treated by a local optician who provided us with exercises and the plans to build an exercise device to enhance binocular vision. Use of that for a year together with a specific protocol for adjusting by eyeglass prescription resulted in my eyes diminishing in their strength very little until after 2000. After about 25 or 30 years, and with employment relocations, another optometrist "corrected" my lens prescription to REMOVE the strengthening benefit of the earlier protocol. This EFFECTIVE sight-saving protocol has now been forgotten by the Canadian Optometry industry, both provincial and federal associations. I could find no record of it in a data and inquiry search conducted in 2014/15.
   
   

   1954 -- On preparing to leave a baseball game in a carpool, I mistakenly grabbed the side of the car for stability just before another passenger closed the door. My right middle finger was caught in the hinge side of the door and partially crushed/broken. The local surgeon reset the bones and put a cast on the finger. Removal of the cast later revealed that the bones had healed in an irregular arrangement. The doctor later offered that he could rebreak the bones and reset them for a more normal form with joint movement. At that young age, I had endured enough pain, and declined.

   1975-06 -- Significant lower back lifting injury while moving a heavy machine out of a car backseat to carry into the customer's office for installation. The employee assisting, from outside the car, expressed a possibility of having to drop his end due to the weight. I was having difficulty safely moving my feet out of the car, under the end of the machine. I extended my arms, placing a force of hundreds of pounds on the lower back, in order to move more quickly out of the back seat. A significant subluxation injury resulted. Extensive chiropractic therapy, exercise, and rest was required for 6 months.

   2009-03 -- While practicing cross-country skiing, I slipped on a long icy patch and fell, hard.
   My left buttock was bruised, more internally than externally, and the symptoms which followed suggested that a lower spine subluxation had occurred. For a time, there was reoccurring pain and numbness in my left leg and foot, and at the base of the spine. Certain movements resulted in uncontrolled and unalerted minor instances of fecal incontinence. Walking and general movements were difficult. Medically, there were no treatments suggested; only the use of pain-killer drugs. I sought chiropractic treatment. Over a period of perhaps 6 weeks, the symptoms subsided.
   
   

   
   Career changes. R-INDEX
   I have had more than an average number of career changes.
   Repeatedly, for many years, I found I could advance to a senior position in my employer's enterprise ... only to be laid off, find that my company and industry were not providing good customer service, find that I was being pressured to allow abuses, or ... participate in them. Frequently, I determined that another industry offered more potential to clearly assist others, and, increase my income ... always with a potential for added security. This changed when I made a difficult transition into self-employment and the use of unique skills which I had developed to recover from significant injuries and life traumas (see above).

   Frequent career changes are often perceived, by those who have not made them, as an inability to express commitment, an overcompetitive personality, or, an immature avoidance of "settling down". These features were NEVER expressed in my own history. Often, it was the opposite sentiments of spontaneous commitment, teamwork, and a desire for security which attended my career path. I received commendations, relevant appreciative references, and faster-than-usual career advancement in, and from, my work. I was always eager to learn as much as possible about my work and to effect as professional a style of service as might be possible.

   STANDARDS of PREFERENCE can radically change between industries.
   I found that persons being considered for employment in institutions were spontaneously rejected if their history revealed more than a few employers. Conversely, in the computer software and service industry, (where I trained and worked for almost a decade) applicants who had FREQUENTLY (almost every year) changed employers ... where often automatically hired ... with an expectation that they were innovative, aggressive, and more educated than the average. Industry preferences can also relate to SKILL potential. In the Private Security industry, employees who made the VOLUNTARY effort to complete as many personal time courses as possible ... received offers of promotion and relocation frequently. Others were never asked. Their lack of "Push" or "Passion" was taken to mean that they valued Stability over Promotion. I valued stability AND promotion, AND, most of all ... Learning, in support of Professionalism.
   
   

   
   Volunteer work. R-INDEX
   By the Spring of 2012, a realization was presented that publishing a digital health reference for recovery to assist those with CFS-ME had been all but sabotaged by the direction taken by the owners of Google, and, the policymakers in the USA National Security Agency (NSA). Continuing to complete and publish this and other reference materials which could benefit humanity as a whole would fall into almost immediate misuse by misdirection, deception, and manipulation in the service of making money at any expense of truth and relevancy. Such efforts ended then. What would be discovered a year later, during this brief year of "retirement", was that a focused program of physical enhancement and international political education would lead to an offer to use and further enhance my skills in the area of global conflict resolution.

   This Spiritually (prayer) Guided work extended the continual and consistent successes I had shared with clients, since 1981, particularly during 1998 to 2002, and 2006 to 2009. These successes had released attitude and behavioral dynamics in individuals which they reported had changed long-term self-sabotaging choice patterns into constructive choice patterns which benefited themselves and often those in their environment. Relationships, health, employment, and business ownership took more joy filled and respectful directions and many reported experiencing what they termed a more personal and spiritual awareness. These changes NEVER happened as an extension of anything that I had written, dictated, or preached. These dynamics I found to be highly rewarding in all non-financial ways.
   
   

   Beginning in mid-2013, a definitive, intense, stimulating opportunity was presented to me which could build towards assisting in the development of some form of global program of conflict resolution. It was partially dependent, I would later learn, on the longer-term response of my body to exposure to GMO (Genetically Modified) foods. That resulted in a dramatic escalation of the chronic health related symptoms noted above. With the daily sacrifices involved, I acquired an ability to work very long and consistent hours researching conflict situations and interacting with identities to resolve, or ameliorate them towards non-violent partnerships. Involvement in such work had to be reduced from February, 2016, to an almost non-existent level by May, 2016.

   Even when I provided private counseling in a self-employment structure, the low pay-to-work ratio meant that professionalism had to supercede profit (income in excess of expenses). During mid-2013 to early 2016, the work I performed was solely funded by the low pension income I was receiving. No honorariums or other financial gifts or awards have been received for such work to November, 2016. The destructive stress which many persons would experience during such a time of financial restraint and intense work was discounted by my knowledge and experience that I had ENOUGH, and would have, for those expenses I was Spiritually Guided (prayer) to make. The separation between the work and the symptoms is confirmed by the continuance of the symptoms in the absence of the work involvement. With a consistent lack of medical support and resolution, I made the best use of (some of) the symptoms I experienced.
   
   

   
   Self-Directed efforts.
   Authority structures promote exclusivity of membership, pride in privilege, reward for sacrifice and passivity, and, rejection of other options or modalities which may serve the same demands for service. Self-directed efforts are often, and may be, reactive rebellious responses to the control and structure/limit driven attitudes and behaviors of employers, professions, and, memberships. Self-directed efforts can be the result of a choice of partnership with a Spiritual Source which can improve in accuracy, relevancy, and immediacy with practice and constructive expression. This has been my focus since 198? when I found I could access intelligence which enabled me to recover from a set of over 30 hypersensitivities and begin assisting others towards permanent resolution. They, like myself, had been told that ANY recovery was impossible. When those with Authority and Power choose the Pride of Expertise over the Humility of Learning, they become redundant.

   Assisted Self-Directed efforts (some) enabled me to:

   survive a 3-month premature birth in December, 1945; ooo

   maintain a near consistent level of eyesight after major injury at age 8;

   terminate cigarette smoking at age 11;

   avoid repeating patterns of abuse received from peers;

   learn how to SCUBA dive while living on a farm;

   graduate from High School, in defiance of school superintendent assessment;

   place 3rd of 16 in the 1st private computer technology course offered in Canada;

   complete a combined Sociology-Psychology Honors university BA;

   learn how to maintain and repair a car;

   find a resolution to a long duration of constant pain;

   recover from a severe whiplash ... and then two others;

   survive a coma medically considered to be terminal;

   recover from a severe lower back injury;

   recover from multiple severe hypersensitivities;

   develop a form of therapy which enabled individuals to release traumas;

   design energy efficient housing which impressed Ontario Hydro;

   formulate business plans, flow charts, spreadsheets, circuit diagrams;

   deeply research many health, political, and environmental issues;

   independently influence others to reject violent confrontations;

   ooo -- A 3-month premature birth at this time in Canada was generally considered to be terminal. I was born without the ability to digest my mother's milk, or milk from any other source. Thanks to nutrition researchers working with Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto) staff, I was an early recipient/test subject for a multigrain infant formula, later known as Pablum. It was enough.

   " Recovery" is used here to denote a cessation of symptoms from the time of "recover" to the present. NONE of the above were encouraged by or financed by others. Most of the "recoveries" were attained after "experts" advised me that such was not possible. These challenges provided opportunities for learning and skill development. These options were frequently not available from any source or counselor. Medically, these options were not "self-treatment" ... the term used by authorities to prejudice all non-compliance of their assessments and prescriptions as being superstitious, reckless, reactive, unscientific, and, dangerous.
   
   

   My choices were ALWAYS intensively researched, and, eventually, ALWAYS supported and confirmed by Spiritual Guidance (Prayer). For the spiritually inexperienced and uneducated, the results demonstrate the significant influence of such choices. Unfortunately, Spiritual Directed choices, in my experience, cannot bring positive change to situations created by multiple, powerful, human driven (educational, commercial, mass media) sources of pollution, conflict, and, bioengineering ... which demand results which reject the laws of the universe.

   For the observer or reviewer of my health history, my health challenges gave me the option to accept passivity, dependency, and defeat, or, to opt for awareness, discovery, participation, and resolution. My life has demonstrated that my Basic Personality supports the latter ... a form of Self-Responsibility which the Authority biased, institutionally controlled basis of Canadian provincial healthcare insurance/plan systems actively discourage.
   
   

4. Employment : From Active ... to Undependable. INDEX
   

   I could go overboard and muddy the waters with earlier, and similarly dramatic government abuses.
   To keep the issues in this document "clean", I will outline the obvious one here such that it is placed into perspective and does not merit an introduction later to support intellectual confusion. Factors suggestive of direct influence are often entered into DEFENCE statements in hopes that the jury and/or judge will become lost in the deceptions and unable to CLEARLY see the burning bush for the trees ... declare that they can see no fire to take precautions about or extinguish. A clear, and earlier instance.

   During the Fall of 2003, after arriving in the province of British Columbia, I was preparing to set up a small publication company. My wife and I had been traveling to Mexico to make our business base there, when Mexicans visiting El Paso, Texas, expressed concern for our safety within their country as a near future election was raising tensions of a possible coup, drug barons were murdering thousands, and, kidnapping of foreigners had become an income generator for the poor and desperate. Several months in British Columbia and the health of both my wife and I dramatically changed. Although discovered by LATE 2005, that we both had separate versions of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ... by then, neither of us had been able to work for 2 years, generate incomes, and pay taxes.

   During 2007, I enrolled in training ($$$) to create self-employment in a real estate refinancing career. There was good evidence that it could be participated in from home, would be flexible in numbers of hours and time of day involved in the work, and would make use of previous experience and training which I had in real estate brokerage, banking, and close interaction with at least two dozen real estate agents and brokers in the province of Ontario. At a point of 2/3rds of the way through the training, it became, with great disappointment, necessary for me to withdraw ... for what I considered a temporary leaves at the time ... as my ability to work and travel became increasingly limited and erratic. Time, effort, and monies had been invested in providing a basic infrastructure for the work. Monies spent on maintaining the level of health I had, with efforts made towards private diagnosis and health enhancement, left nothing to support the early stages of this, or most any other, new career path.
   
   

   We had lived on our savings ... paying for our food and lodging, transportation, therapies, tests, supplements, and medications. We applied for Disability Insurance payments from the federal government ... only to be rejected because it had taken B.C. Health 2 years to CONFIRM that we had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, considered incurable at the time, and, because we had not earned ENOUGH money and paid ENOUGH taxes during those 2 (2004/2005) years. To continue with our research to sustain our health and find a resolution to the difficulties, we continued to draw down on savings. During 2007, financial strains prompted me to take EARLY Canada Pension payments at a 30% loss ($95.99 monthly). At the time, it did seem immensely supported that we never would recover, either of us could die at any time ... as many others had. Through our continued effort, working in partnership with God, In LATE 2008, we both recovered.
   
   

   The duration of compromised healthcare concerned ABOVE. 2010-2016
   During 2009 and 2010, I attempted to establish an income, and somehow begin regaining a lifestyle and marriage. The economy had tanked at the time. Few jobs of any nature were locally available. Moving for the possibility of obtaining a job in a different locale was no longer an option with my being denied for a Disability Pension, having begun a minimum Canada Pension, and being disqualified for Unemployment insurance ... because I had not worked in the previous 2 years.

   During 2011 to early 2012, I was advised twice by Canada Revenue Service agents that it was now ILLEGAL for me to work because I was accepting Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payments. When I requested the option of repayment of pension payments received, I was told that such was NOT an option. The political infrastructure had trapped me in reduced, minimum income, with NO access to employment. These revelations did not occur overnight. Typically, as it became my experience, it took 6 months of writing, phoning, and appointments ... to clearly establish what an accepted interpretation of the political rules involved were, and, that there would be no consideration of change ... regrettable of the reality, or accepting of government authority ... by the Member of Parliament or the administrative agent.
   
   

   From Spring 2012 to Spring 2013, I prepared mentally and physically for a volunteer position I was offered based upon my earlier skill development, involvements, and interests. I would be INDEPENDENTLY encouraging international peace between long-established conflict groups intent on murder, violence, and, massacre ... as vengeance justice for political injustices. During mid-2013 to early 2016, I worked 60 to 70 hours weekly doing this work, almost exclusively from home. I had no Internet access (very insecure) and used neither a mobile nor residence phone for "business". I was provided with a most secure communication link. I worked behind the scenes, as only such contacts and communications can. No one trusts anyone who works for an organization. They have, by those in authority over them, a perspective which separates them from those they profess to be sincere in assisting.

   It was most spiritually rewarding, somewhat emotionally stressful, and, may have been partially enabled by, and made safer by, the more defined and extreme medical symptoms I was reporting and coping with. From early February of 2016, it became more obvious, by the symptoms, that I resolve the Daily PHYSICAL health problems I was experiencing. They were now making it more difficult to actually do the research and effect the communications that I had been doing earlier. While neither tired nor sleepy, the clarity and motivation of mind necessary for the work continued to wane until I was doing almost nothing by late April. Medical tests were more aggressively pursued through this time, with NO benefit. Test results ruling OUT certain possibilities could have been beneficial. Even a confirmation that certain aspects were "normal" would have been helpful. The tests were assessed as determining nothing!

   ONE word assessments suggests an insincere reviewer ... short-term economy with minimal effectiveness ... a waste. This costs ($$$) the medical system by reducing the test to worthless, and, costs ($$$) the patient by unnecessarily extending their period of LOSS of income stability, social interaction, and contribution to society and the taxation base. Cost of medical tests and procedures seem to be INTENTIONALLY hidden from the public. They are neither available from a doctor, a hospital, or online.
   
   

5. Lifestyle : How to lose your Social Identity. INDEX

   Social Identity includes a variety if Interaction Activities, including these:

   • visiting friends and relatives
   • time which can be scheduled for dependability
   • attendance at religious gatherings
   • time and energy for group & team activities
   • going to mass entertainment venues: movies, concerts, restaurants, ....
   • transportation to the above (own vehicle or public transit)
   
   

   ALL of these require financial contributions in the modern era, UNLESS, one lives in a major metropolitan area, near one or more of the above centers of influence and membership. If one has limited income (retired, underemployed, laid off, unemployed, disabled, experiencing chronic health problems) these social identity possibilities become limited, or, rejected. Attempting to "bridge" the financial gap until one's income can improve often sweeps the individual into high interest demand debt which is almost, according to reported statistics, impossible to recover from. At that point, relationships become strained by self-deception, "good" intentions, anxiety, frustration, mood swings, and lies. Hence, the best option for such an individual (least conflict and least likely to result in escalating destructive behaviors ... is to disappear socially. How much VALUE to an individual's contribution to society, maintenance of self-esteem, continuation of social identity, and constructive family interaction is this form of identity WORTH per day, week, month, year?

   Removal from direct social interaction can provide medical and health benefits.
   Most team oriented activities, including sports, are competitive in nature and often involve physical movements which one is not very skilled in. Possibility of falls, sprains, cuts, bruises, breaks, and concussions are not unusual. In addition, exposure to contagious diseases, including any of 50 or more different kinds of parasites is heightened by social interactions. In addition, peers tend to exert considerable acceptance and membership influence on individuals to participate in generally recognized as unhealthy behaviors. Ultimately, if one is chronically ill, you find your own PERSONAL adaptation strategy regarding social participation. One accepts it as a status of never recovering, pay for services of private or foreign medical treatment, and withdraw socially, OR, have it taken away from you. My experience, and that of millions of others with chronic UNDIAGNOSED or maltreated/untreated ailments confirms this finding for both Canadians and many Americans.
   
   

6. Membership : Losses to society & government. INDEX
   

   Many of these losses have been noted elsewhere in this document.
   There are many potential losses to society and the human species from a delay, and/or, manipulation of some of the projects I have contributed significant amounts of effort and time to. Most of these, are PARTIALLY the responsibility of the healthcare industry which obstructed, denied, and misinterpreted diagnostic tests and therapies which could have, and eventually did, result in health recovery and/or enhancement.
   

   • Customer Satisfaction.
   • Purchase expansion ability.
   • Business facilitation.
   • Healthcare cost reduction.
   • Income Tax revenue.
   • Commerce amplification.
   • Accident prevention.
   • Security efforts.
   
   

   
   Customer Satisfaction.
   Canadian, and other intensified commerce political and social systems, rely upon purchasers interacting with sellers in ways which encourage confidence in both ... the confidence to take risks of failure and loss to present services and products to prospects, and, the confidence of buyers to purchase products and services repeatedly. Without these forms of confidence, reinforced by experience more than advertising, markets fail because buyers do not make repetitive purchases and because sellers find themselves at a loss with warehouses/containers and offices full of unsalable products and services. Government set and enforced standards are an important variable in this equation. Customer service policies are another key variable.

   I have worked for DECADES in Canadian customer service positions.
   I have witnessed failures and inadequacies, as well as successes and dynamic benefits.
   In banking, I found a sharp division between a policy of service, and, a practice of profit biased manipulation of both staff and customers. Intellectualized academic rationalizations pushed financial products on customers who would be hurt by their participation because bank staff were motivated by financial reward and job stability to do so. I refused; few others did. Confused and desperate customers were perceived of as dangerous "others" to be prosecuted. I rejected a potential bank robber and gave the man a chance to rethink his options. For the benefit and satisfaction of customers, it is sometimes necessary to see the person beyond the formalities of routines and reactions.
   
   

   Much of the 6 year success of my Customer Engineer position with a Canadian subsidiary of a major American mini-computer company was a further extension of what I understood to be a Christian response of respect for customers. I was much more successful in resolving computer "hardware" failures because I RESPONDED to, and acknowledged, the trauma-building stresses of operators and owners. Overall, 50% of such problems were resolved by listening to, empathizing with, and, sometimes offering other response options to the person in control of the machine. In the several years that I spent in professional commercial sales working for a Canadian service company, I was the best, nationwide, in finding and making sales. A significant factor in that success was my respect for the supplier, the prospect and customer, and, myself. We all won. The dynamics involved in producing such levels of customer satisfaction demand awareness, focus, empathy, humility, and self-direction. If you don't have these skills beforehand, chronic illness symptoms will minimize or eliminate your ability to provide them.

   For many ... most in my observation, inadequate healthcare resources and support to accurate diagnose and effectively provide a recovery from chronic illness weakens Customer Satisfaction in a commerce biased community. Persons, distracted by, or controlled by, their imposing ill-health symptoms ... find patience, listening, calm, and a diagnostic attitude .. nearly impossible to attain or maintain. Like a behavioral contagious virus, frustrated customers take the denial, short-tempered, angry, abusive, and dissociated responses of their ill-health service agent personally. With negative, destructive emotional responses thrust upon them, and, often, with no culturally transferred coping skills ... they take perceived abuse and reflect it onto others they come into contact with ... at home and in the marketplace. The expansion of chronic illness presence, in the absence of sincere healthcare intervention, within a culture promotes emotions of despair and depression. The market becomes increasingly unstable on a foundation of emotional anarchy. The level of health within a society can be enhanced, or diminished, by government policies in a politically controlled healthcare industry.
   
   

   
   Purchase expansion ability. M-INDEX
   Chronically ill persons often have higher health maintenance expenses, lower incomes, and more fragile employment than the average worker. Unless they can find, or create work, in environments which have low or controlled social contact ... they are likely to find anxiety and frustration in much of their experience. Their unhappiness can permeate all of their interactions and sabotage the potential for their successes. They may APPEAR, to the unaware and unsympathetic masses, to be harboring some form of mental illness. Often, they are carrying the burden and limitation of chronic illness symptoms. That dynamic excludes them from the purchasing decisions which many other Canadians take for granted. They are EXCLUDED, by illness default, from full participation in the culture and the economy. Capitalism can ONLY exist as a Growth economy. It is difficult to maintain a Growth economy with a shrinking purchasing market.

   I have been more fortunate than most persons with chronic illness symptoms.
   With the Basic Personality which God afforded me with, and, in partnership with God, I have been able to cope with and recover from more than a few acute and chronic illnesses ... most of which afforded NO beneficial symptoms. Those successes, together with my early customer service and research skill development and experience, has enabled me to BRIDGE ill health conditions which have terminated the lives of many others. I don't have a fear of death. I have a Love and Faith in God. Some people profess to share the same orientation. It is their response in times of challenge which reveals the reality. My economic base has been challenged numerous times. I have adapted. Currently (2016-11), I live on a minimal income. It covers my rent, food, healthcare contributions, and a form of risk management (insurance). Until more recently (February, 2016 to present), my coping enabled me to interact constructively with global issues, on a volunteer, self-funded manner. It has only been possible by my ability to accept financial self-restraint.
   
   

   In Canadian and American cultures and economies, there are few examples of economic self-restraint and hundreds of millions of dollars of ANNUAL advertising motivating the citizen to purchase, and, become financially dependent on debt. A mortgage is debt. A car loan is debt. Credit card outstanding balances are debt. Slavery has one historical consistency: obligation to debt .. whether imposed, deceived into, or, voluntarily chosen. Most North Americans do neither have a similar personality to mine, nor, have experiences and skills which enable significant financial restraint while maintaining significant political participation. Financial debt multiplies destructive stress levels. Those stress levels impose ever increasing risks on those with chronic illness symptoms. The longer they are ill, the greater is their likelihood of NO recovery.

   In the present (2016-11) Canadian provincial healthcare modalities, acute healthcare delivery with a technician attitude is allowed. Coping with and treating chronic illness patients towards possible recovery, is HIGHLY discouraged by infrastructure and practice. This diminished purchasing ability of these citizen patients ... who increasingly populate the hidden-in-plain-sight background ... makes provincial economic stability even more difficult to maintain ... than those political infrastructures economies which address healthcare as a professional service, not, a technician provided product. Canadian provincial economies can scarcely survive without INCREASING taxpayer debt because with increasing chronic illness presence, the taxation base is SHRINKING, while the Population demand is growing. Is it too late to convert those in need to those who participate and provide?
   
   

   
   Business facilitation.
   Businesses survive and grow when their owners, staff, and professional support services share a similar motivation, have matured to a level of identity to acknowledge others and encourage them, and, provide service or products which prospects are willing to purchase. In our modern (2000 to present) commercial world, this balance of interactions and relationships is fragile. The determined statistics relating to North American businesses and relationships over the past 60 years have shown little movement in change.

   • Marriages fail about 50% of the time; including re-marriages.

   • 80% of new restaurant openings declare bankruptcy within 3 years.

   • New product market introductions fail at the rate of about 80% of market entries.

   • Most politicians speak confidently about issues history demonstrates they are ignorant about.

   • The consistent destructive characteristics of pharmaceuticals are often revealed after they have been given politically sanctioned prescribing promotion for ten years.

   • Healthcare costs in "progressive" societies continue to escalate with each budget.

   • Humanity continues to remain in denial about its part in diminishing rising RISKS favoring its extinction.
     1. Increasing population demands increasing energy resource use.
     2. Economies founded on expansion demand credit expansion, eventually.
     3. Political conflict and war justifies the use of credit to expand armaments inventories.
     4. Genetically modified crops and animals expand harvest returns while destroying diversity.
     5. Expanding degradation of supplies of resources (soil, fish stocks, drinking water, petroleum) pass no-recovery thresholds before ANY self-responsibility limits are considered.
     6. Multiple chronic illness presence in North American individuals continues to rise.

   • The symptom of (emotional) depression remains the most frequent reported in North America.

   • Corporate symbolic identity continues to grow in Power, beyond political control.
   
   

   None of the above dynamics and, or could have, changed unless citizen members had good physical health, supporting ever improving coping skill training for emotional health, and, good spiritual health is supported by a reality of good self-esteem from the freedom to avoid co-dependent addiction-driven relationships. For HUMAN relationships, commerce, and, global politics to swing away from an increasing baseline of CONFLICT ... the human individual requires time and encouragement to: rest, prepare food, study, maintain employment, integrate experiences, reflect on errors, experiment with possibilities, listen to the suggestions and concerns of others, remain or become debt-free, become increasingly self-aware, communicate with one's Spiritual God, maintain their health. 95% of North Americans have no time for these enhancement factors. Change NEVER arrives and is maintained when only 5% of the community are making significant positive contributions.
   
   

   Sick people cannot maintain a health economy.
   As greater proportions of the population become chronically ill, financial resources (taxation) are borrowed (public debt) to provide Band-Aid supports. Yet, the Band-Aids conceal the untreated infections. Eventually, the patient dies. Not because they did not receive 'treatment." They die because the treatment (Band-Aid) was only a good intention that was irrelevant. Health enhancing treatment which was relevant, has been denied because ... the provider was too distracted, too rushed, too lazy (self-centered), too afraid of self-direction, too reverent of human authorities, too bullied by those with power, too proud to ask the injured to work with them.
   
   

   
   Healthcare cost reduction. M-INDEX

   There is optimum health maintenance and preservation, minimal, and, everything in-between.
   Let's consider two likely scenarios. The $ amounts cannot be as relevant as anyone might like for the provincial healthcare insurance plans seem never to produce PUBLIC reports which provide enough detail such that the member (citizen) has anything to evaluate.

   The OPTIMAL Health Maintenance Plan.
   A Private healthcare service offered in some western Canadian provinces is the Copeman Healthcare Centre clinic company which provides medical services in some urban areas for an annual membership fee. Currently, that works out to Can $277/month, after the first year. Significantly, one's membership includes a very extensive initial assessment, access to many healthcare non-medical therapies and counselors, and, professional diagnosticians. If they don't treat you with sincerity and effectiveness, you will likely not stay with their service. They are rewarded for their Quality, and you are rewarded with the best health maintenance, corrective, and preventive care without having to leave Canada.

   At least one, and likely more states within the USA earlier this year (2016) increased their membership fee to US $200 per month, for everyone. Persons with inadequate incomes for the BASIC fee, and/or special acute illness treatment costs can qualify for grant assistance to enable them to receive the best care possible in a timely manner. A woman I know of was diagnosed with multiple cancers and placed on a PERSONALIZED chemotherapy regime, within TWO WEEKS. The cost of the intensive diagnostic procedures performed, plus counseling, plus treatments ... initially exceeded the regular coverage by $150,000. Retired on a small pension without a large asset base, most or all of the excess charges were covered with a low income grant. Within two months, her assessed survival timeframe was modified from several months .. to two years. This is an extreme case, in costs, yet it does suggest that less severe health conditions would receive TIMELY diagnosis and RELEVANT treatment.
   
   

   The MINIMAL Provincial Health Insurance Plan.
   "Insurances" are services which individuals choose in an effort to protect themselves from possible, hardship-producing expenses, through a strategy of sharing the risk with other members, enabled by the tactics of accrued fees, deferral of self-responsibility to a self-appointed authority, and, the confidence that if and when expenses are acquired ... they will be totally paid (released).

   A danger in any insurance plan is that it exists in a competitive marketplace.
   It is also offered, as a product, in a community both uninterested in, and unfamiliar with the variations in coverage which the provider may adjust their plans to reflect in consideration of the number of claims they receive versus the capital base they must work with from premiums paid. Such "coverages" can change on an immediate basis. A bit like the WAITING times in British Columbia Health Services changing from 3 WEEKS to 2 MONTHS for an "urgent" CT SCAN, or, if you fit the privileged category .. getting the same test done in 48 HOURS. Overly restrictive services, relative to the conditions the member is promised they will cover, often lead to some persons, in desperation, manipulating the system in their benefit ... whether that privilege be effected by financial bribe, or, by influence of Authority, or, by elitist peer association.

   Here is a "service" in which I, speaking from demonstrated history and experience, cannot get an accurate DIAGNOSIS in ten YEARS. What may have been a minor medical problem has become a life-threatening reality for the past 4 years. Fortunately, for me and those I make volunteer efforts to assist, I have excellent coping skills and am self-directed ... a benefit of my Basic Personality and my discovery and use of the Power of Partnership with God. God gave us Choice. That means, NO imposition; NO miracles to rescue .. from the errors and inadequacies of the choices other people have made, in defiance of God, that influence OUR health and that of many others. I completed this report with some urgency as it was equally likely that I would not survive much longer as it was that I would. This INADEQUACY would be absent in a healthcare system which allowed for access to PRIVATE healthcare supports. In such, I would know, with some accuracy, the extent of my medical problems, the available corrective and remedial options, and a possible longevity estimate. Which would YOU prefer?
   
   

   
   Income Tax revenue.
   When I have experienced periods of chronic illness, I have NEVER paid income tax.
   My income was either non-existent, or, at poverty level. I lost. So did the Canadian provincial and federal governments ... the Canadian community.

   While the income potential of other Canadians will vary from my own, and, will vary according to marketplace demand for their skill level, as well as relative to the variable growth of the provincial and national economies ... they will have an income which, on average, qualifies them to pay income tax revenue to their provincial government as well as the national federal government.
   
   

   With the current infrastructure of provincial healthcare services and limitations in Canada, once a citizen acquire one or more chronic illnesses ... it is likely that they will cease to qualify to contribute financially to Canadian government tax revenues, and, will never again. Their return to being a financially contributing member will depend upon their health recovery, maintenance, and recovery. The current (2016-11) "insurance" provide disastrous diagnostic services for many chronic illnesses, delayed or non-existent treatment and support for health recovery, and, discourages the member from using self-direction actions. It also restricts the open advertising notification of the public which makes it difficult for the member to find or partake of privately offered medical services within their country.

   The ultimate or target destination of the current (2016-11) Canadian provincial healthcare infrastructures is to allow, and promote (through discouraged self-awareness and discouraged self-direction) reduced personal self-responsibility together with medical self-denial (by way of media promoted attitudes of "universal" and "complete" health supervision and maintenance). The reality reveals these imprinted/educated myths as endangering the individual's health, and, providing legalized inertia ... which guarantees a continually WORSENING level of community health.

   This is a recipe for cultural destruction by infecting minds with destructive attitudes which anesthetizes the member's identity and turns their potential healthy participation into a gangrenous slide into an autistic social existence ever solidified by skill degradation (from lack of application) and mental depression (from the despair of an absence of health enhancement and recovery options.

   The message to the world:
   AVOID the WEAKNESSES built into a Government controlled
   universal healthcare bureaucracy masquerading as a Quality healthcare service.

   
   
   

   
   Commerce amplification. M-INDEX
   In a currency based economy, the absence of expansion is neither neutrality nor contraction.
   It is death, bankruptcy, loss of assets, the imposition of absolute risk. Why is that?
   Over the past 500 years, since the construction of a Shared Risk symbolic identity in the committed membership structure of the Corporation, a Life Mission of each such robot has been profit. Shareholders were the members. Commitment was in the form of labor investments in the form of currency. As the numbers of these business "robots" increased, a competition developed between them to attract the favors of investment from those who had been able to produce a surplus from whatever endeavors they had participated in. A surplus was an excess above what they required in the immediate term.

   In agriculture, the strategy of conserving a surplus from a crop was a recognition of climate cycles. A common rule was that it was foolish NOT to set aside a surplus after each threshing in expectation that, on average, there would be a famine once every 7 years. A failure to do so would result in a necessity to borrow from someone who was either more fortunate with their crops, or, more self-restrained, and/or, better at planning. That borrowing became a debt. ANY debt resulted in one become indebted, co-dependent upon, a SLAVE to the financier.
   
   

   Urbanization, industrialization, pandemics, and, over-population brought together a number of factors. Urbanization made it easier for people to more easily share personal contact. Industrialization made it easier to use energy dependent processes at an economical and in a CONTROLLED manner. When I was young, late 1940s, my father was at the transition point of converting from horse-power to machine-power. He never liked using horses as implements. Like many in his day, there was neither a heritage in his family nor any form of education available that taught how to train and manage horses. His exposure was such that two different horses had two different personalities and temperaments. Getting them to work TOGETHER to pull in the same direction, at the same time, with the same effort was the greatest challenge of farming. A tractor removed all of that Emotion (frustration, anxiety, anger), Self-Direction, stubbornness, Laziness, and, necessity for Personalized "husbandry" ... the feeding, bedding, stable cleaning, storing of fodder, veterinary care, harnessing, violence, sickness, and danger of accidents. Industry brought the promise of Power and Dependability, with stable expense and minor personal attention.

   Pandemics had brought opportunity and wealth to growing and urban populations.
   When 50% of the European population died during a 300 year pandemic, the assets accumulated within a family had fewer inheritors to divide between. Inevitably, some families and inheritors were left with more than they needed for immediate (subsistence) and even longer-term living expenses. Risk was not so acute if you were "investing" monies you could live comfortably without. Mass Industry was a step ahead of individual skill artisanry, and, the products could be sold or bartered with more cheaply, or, in larger numbers. Putting physics and machines into boats opened up a way of using industry AND travel to search for, find, and bring back treasured goods from distant lands ... to sell to the rich. With TWO levels of risk, industrialization and travel, corporations offered consolation for the many sinking ships is a rush for the gold and silver, and, furs. Centuries later, American courts ruled that corporations were legal IDENTITIES ... "Intelligent Robots."
   
   

   With the advent of nations, that is, the conglomeration of groups of OWNERS of land, into mega-properties, CONTROL over farming AND industry fell to those with ruling Authority and (military) Power. And so, be it a nation, a province, a state ... the sanctioned (accepted) owners and leadership determine the particulars of the lifestyle ALLOWED of those members who choose to reside within. That is, the politicians who are responsible for setting the laws and principles of interaction within their territory promise to provide Order, Safety, and some version of Equality and Freedom ... to their member/slaves. Initially, their members are slaves for they have neither participation nor influence on how THEIR lives will be structured. Several centuries on, and the members get the privilege of selecting who they want to "own" them.

   With size in numbers of members and span of jurisdiction, administration is more than the elite can handle. They hire mercenaries who will carry out the tasks the "owners" have promised the "slave-members". To simplify & economize (industrialize), and deliver Equality (identical service to all) and not become involved (as an elite) in the (labor) work, the leaders hired "technician" mercenaries. These people would do what they were told in return for monies. Their employers would be responsible for all that they did; they would have a stable income; they would not have the work and income risk of the members (citizens). Administration and bureaucracy were born.
   
   

   Overpopulation continues to spread.
   Autocratic leadership is required to impose and maintain order.
   Industrialized (mechanized and chemicalized) Agriculture and Automated Commerce are necessary to avoid food and lodging distress amongst the members. Health becomes an ever greater concern as chronic illnesses and accidents amplify the factors for loss of income and degradation of lifestyle. Previously (1800s), of a family of 8 children, several would die in infancy, 3 or 4 more before maturity, and the several remaining would only multiply total numbers by several 100%, Death from acute illness was easier to accept. It happened quick, in a day or several. Life was appreciated more. Widespread wars yielded more injuries, chronic health concerns, and communicable disease epidemics. Healthcare became an industry.

   With overpopulation, agriculture, wars, and health problems threatening economic stability by amplifying climate variation influences ... political leadership take an interest in universal healthcare with the hope of enabling the worker-members to become more stable producers, and, happier (passive), more consumer oriented slaves/dependents. Intentions, as always, are imposed by those in power and authority with an expectation that the members will be most grateful and obedient. The tragedy, always, is that the masters never clearly tell the members what is being designed for them, and never ask the members what they would like and be willing to pay for ... and truly listen. No, the proud elite know best. A government monopoly on medical care will, rationally (childishly) provide the most service for the best economy. And again, the elite leadership will NOT provide the service themselves. They will hire technician mercenaries to deliver the lowest cost services and have no authority or power to test or question QUALITY. The result: the membership receive the quickest, shortest, least personal, most restricted healthcare that can be institutionalized.
   
   

   
   Accident prevention. M-INDEX
   More recent medical researchers, accident actuaries, and healthcare journalists are noting the facts, as found by medical examiners performing autopsies on vehicle accident mortalities ... healthcare inadequacies are THE major contributing factor. Symptoms of chronic illnesses can include any selection of and any combination of these:

   • distraction;
   • mental fog, confusion;
   • pain and discomfort;
   • despair & depression;
   • decreased co-ordination;
   • heightened anxiety;
   • blurred vision;
   • blackouts.
   
   

   ALL of these challenge safety according to the complexity of the skills required for, and the environment in which an activity is performed. Driving a car, truck, or bus requires training and practice before safe operation is possible. Acquiring a chronic illness does not prevent such operation, yet it does, degrade and challenges one's abilities.

   Not limited to vehicular participation, chronic illness symptoms can diminish the safety of participation in sports, construction, fabrication, industry, and, repair. These preventable failures impact both the potential longer-term social and economic participation of the chronic illness person, but also, their present and longer-term Quality of Life. How much is the COST to the provincial healthcare plans is the treatment of accident victims, and, the denial of chronic illness recovery?
   
   

   
   Security efforts.
   Security in any mass culture is like a video, movie, documentary, or television series.
   The writer put forward a promise that is wrapped in deception to manipulate the viewer into prostituting themselves with the good intention that their sacrifice of time and someone else's money is preparing them for success ... success in life, success in relationships, success in business. You see it, and feel it. You hear it, and think you understand it. You are present, and believe you are living it. You forget that it is all a LIE ... a fantasy. It imprints you with the security that regardless of the destructiveness of the attitudes and behaviors of the characters, everything gets resolved by the end. The participants and investors often express a motivation of encouraging the audience to take ACTION and bring CHANGE to the drama so that Justice can be shared by all. Everyone misses the REALITY that this medium PACIFIES.

   The truth is that almost everything PICTURED in audiovisual mass media is structured and acted out in repetitive detail. In real life, you don't get to rehearse. In real life, you don't get to play a part and a character that OTHERS, the writer-director-producer, are responsible for. In real life, there are choices and you either choose which one's will influence your life best, or, other people make their choices without consideration of you ... and you slide downhill into supporting THEIR choices. In real life, you don't die immediately in a car crash or from a gunshot. REAL people frequent are extracted from crashed cars to live unglamorous, painful, long existences. A teenager living in an American urban neighborhood of poverty, despair, and crime entered a REAL hospital with a bullet wound to be addressed. The ER staff were panicked. He consoled them that this would simply add one more scar to the 35 knife and bullet wounds he had been treated for previously. Video imprints on its viewer that the tragedy the viewer is participating in from a distance is "normal" and the story line has resolved the issues portrayed.
   
   

   Every bureaucracy is like a movie.
   The technicians researching what the membership express as their preferences form such into a platform of policies for the candidate. The candidate acts out their part with a method actor's sincerity in the belief that if they can get into a position of power and authority, they will bring positive changes to their voters. They actually believe that the promises they voice may be within their authority to impose. And, when they are elected, those candidates find that they are no longer on the stage like an actor. They are in life ... being challenged to cope with and offer options for change on issues which are no longer simple intellectual debating points. Now they must negotiate with others who will have differing points of view depending upon where they perceive THEIR security of re-election, of income, of power, of motivation coming from.

   The singular, immediate, SHARED focus of a small band of families is a fantasy which has died in the distant past. And, the workers they depend upon to support and carry out the changes they imagine will bring justice act out their patterns of inertia to maintain their confidence in the clear and clean repetition of their jobs for their predictable, dependable incomes. The politician is in denial of their fantasy. They feel deceived, but by what! The voter feels manipulated, but by who and what! The tragedy is that there will be no change, regardless of the effort and intent, and cost. The biggest, most active, most self-directed group of participants are the technicians who populate the bureaucracy. The greatest influence their elected talking heads will have is to muck up the routines for awhile. Beyond the myth of mass democracy, the administrators, clerks, agents, and lobbyist will keep the line straight.
   
   

   A JUST form of healthcare service will only appear when each participant KNOWS that THEIR part is THEIR responsibility and that EVERY part is as important as the others. It begins when the infant is allowed to cry, crawl, and make efforts to build a sense and confidence in directions of less pain and disappointment and more harmony with those around them. It is reinforced by parents and significant others providing cautions and allowing the child to have many experiences and KNOW what failure and pain are ... so they will be motivated to Remember, Reflect, Plan, and Participate. There is no free ride to living. Their cultural leaders, employers, religious teachers, skill development supervisors, heroes, and villains ... will show them, by example, the benefit of compassion, empathy, setting limits, and exercising patience and negotiation such that no one is forgotten or denied, and, in the end, everyone wins something.

   A provincial universe healthcare insurance infrastructure is a promise built with a myth on a fantasy that Big Brother AUTHORITY, given the Power of the individual, will shepherd that individual while asking almost nothing from the individual member in the form of contributing participation. Just sit there and take it! We will do our best for you with as little taken from you as possible. What that translates into, in REAL life, is ... we will ask as little from you as possible so that we will maintain our position of Authority and Power, Respect and Employment. We, as the Professional doctors and community leaders we could have been will do as little to maintain your health as possible ... so we do not have to ask you for more resources. We MUST deceive and manipulate you, the member, into believing that ALL is as best it can be, or, that we are doing our best for you. Otherwise, we stir the cesspool, and the stink becomes overpowering ... and you tell us to make the stink go away. The simplest answer: stop stirring!
   
   

   The greatest security comes from doing one's part, for oneself, and for all.
   The greatest security comes from doing one's best and encouraging others to do their best.
   The greatest enemy of God's Love is using the devil's gift of rationalized excuses ...
   to justify living in the Safety-of-Inertia, and Taking-from Despair .. the Tragedy of LOSS!
   We each are at the mercy of the LEAST that we and everyone else does.
