A Index
This document provides supporting material for the generation of a Class Action Lawsuit against Alberta Health Service (AHS), and possibly Meditech Canada in favor of Albertan medical patients.
Evidence is provided that indicates that a Severe Medical condition which John R. Sennett suddenly acquired, and could have potentially been alleviated within a MONTH, was frustrated in its diagnosis and treatment by the nature of medical records provided to Canadian doctors by Meditech Canada, and, by the policies and practices of AHS such that after almost 6 YEARS, Mr. Sennett was in WORSE health and died.
It is intended to bring to the awareness of Albertans, and other Canadians, the limitations and distortions of their HIGHLY publicized perfect medical services. This may result in more citizens exercising their vote in favor of improvements to their healthcare system, and, in encouraging politicians and bureaucrats to take their employment IN SERVICE to CANADIANS more serious, responsible, and informed.
It may also encourage doctors who are passionate about their career and sincere in their desire to assist patients to preserve, improve, or recover their health .. to leave the province of Alberta, and possibly Canada ... in order to practice their profession with greater Effectiveness, Empathy, and Compassion.

https://www.clg.org/Class-Action/List-of-Class-Actions
Class-action lawsuits allow groups of people to seek justice against a defendant who is accused of causing loss or harm to others through product liability, privacy breaches, consumer protection issues, environmental accidents, mass personal injury, institutional abuse, and labour and employment issues.
They are usually brought by one individual on behalf of many people, with one plaintiff acting as a representative for the class. Class actions are often lengthy, complex and multinational cases. ...
In Canada, class actions were first codified in Quebec in the 1970s, with Ontario following in 1993.
Now, all provinces except P.E.I. have a class action procedure. ...
Class actions are expensive to litigate, so lawyers have to believe in the merits of a case, be confident it meets the requirements to be certified as a class action, and that its potential compensation is worth pursuing the lawsuit.
The class must be represented by a lawyer.
Compensation for the lawyer primarily comes through a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if the case settles or if it goes to trial and the plaintiffs win. The lawyer gets paid a percentage of what the class wins. “Courts are reluctant to award more than one-third of the settlement to a law firm. Compensation is being closely monitored by courts,” said Kalajdzic (Jasminka Kalajdzic, an associate professor of law and director of the Class Action Clinic at the University of Windsor), who practiced class-action law for 10 years before turning to academia.
(In Canada) A court must certify a proceeding as a class action through a certification hearing, along with approving a representative litigant and the parameters of who is a member of a class. ... If a person is covered by the definition of a class and wants to take part in a class action, there is no action to take. But if they want to preserve their right to pursue an individual case, they must opt out of the class action by a prescribed date following certification. Without opting out, all those covered by a class action are bound by its result. ...
The advantage of the Canadian class-action system is that compensation is not limited to those who contact a lawyer, says (Evatt) Merchant, whose firm has pursued class actions against retailers, cell phone companies, car companies, medical device makers, toy companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers and the federal government.
The law school at the University of Windsor launched the Class Action Law clinic in October (2019) to research class actions, develop policy proposals, and help people navigate the system and understand their rights and obligations. Lack of English language skills or inability to use a computer can shut people out of the system, says Kalajdzic. Failure to file paperwork correctly or on time could mean an individual forfeits any claim from a settlement, for instance.
After Kalajdzic published research into access to justice for class-action members, she started getting calls for help.
People didn’t know where to turn for information or advice and Kalajdzic determined there weren’t many options.
“It was apparent there was an information gap.
The size of class actions means it’s impossible for the lawyers involved to give one-on-one personal advice to everyone who needs it.”
Demand is so strong at the clinic that it is adding staff in January (2020).
“It’s really gratifying to see the number of individuals who are contacting us for assistance.
We’ve already been approached by organizations and law firms to consider legal interventions on appeal cases.”

" On February 17, 1997, Canadians for Mercury Relief (CFMR) in Toronto, and, Alliance For Public Accountability (AFPA) in Ottawa ... announced a possible class action suit against dental amalgam use (sanction, unrestricted use) in Canada ... purpose of the lawsuit is to educate Canadians and dentists alike ... Toronto firm Parocan, Raphael, Courey, Cohen and Houston retained ..."
".. suit based on the fact that Health Canada failed to inform the citizens of Canada of the results of its own internal studies questioning the safety of mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings."
What the legal firm and lawyers participating failed to be aware of for more than a YEAR, was that Healthcare in Canada is the responsibility of each province, NOT the Federal government and its departments. Health Canada is only an information resource intended to provide GENERAL health information, which does NOT contradict or question provincial practices ... which can differ between provinces .. and even contradict each other.
In the late 1990s, Health Canada published an advisory on its website stating that Mercury Amalgam dental fixtures (fillings) were dangerous to health and should never be used. This contradicted the then current Ontario regulation which mandated that ONLY mercury amalgam fillings would be covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP) for emergency dental services. The Health Canada article was quickly relocated to an unpublished address/URL.
In the Canadian Constitution, then known as the BNA (British North American Act), each province acts as and is responsible for a number of services as if it is a separate country. Health Services administration and policies are one of those areas. No two provinces must agree on any part of their health policy and delivery with each other. Surgical wait times and diagnostic procedure availability can differ between provinces. Yet, a citizen of one province cannot seek health services in another province which may have more open, more scientifically supported, or more available services than where they live. Under a Federally supported interprovincial agreement, NO province or territory can allow PRIVATE medical services to be offered to its citizens ... as such would require and enable private payment for such OUTSIDE of the government supported, and restricted Health Service provided.
These regulations and responsibilities are also mirrored in the USA between states, excepting that PRIVATELY funded services are allowed there.
I know of a woman who moved from Florida to Colorado so she could receive scientifically advanced and cost covered cancer care that she could neither access nor afford in Florida. The same practice of residence location change may apply in Canada sometimes, for the benefit of the patient.
I do know from personal experience that access to family doctors in British Columbia is vastly different and minimal in British Columbia compared to Alberta. It took me a YEAR to gain access to a Family Physician in British Columbia. It took me several WEEKS to gain access to a Family Physician in Lethbridge, Alberta.

By Adrienne Dellwo --- Updated on November 03, 2021
Dr. Errol Gaum, Pediatric Dentistry for over 30 years.
480 Claimants as of Feb 16, 2022
Parents grieved, were concerned about, lodged complaints regarding .. the experiences their children and grandchildren had during dental appointments for 30 years. The Nova Scotia Dental Board either ignored their complaints or sent them forms to complete which were never acted upon. Today, 2022, some of those children, now aged 35 to 55, speak of PTSD trauma symptoms that have impacted their lives ever since.
RYAN BINDER, one of the parents, raised the issue on a Facebook page in early 2022 and was quickly responded to by a growing wave of sympathetic viewers who recounted their own experiences. The Nova Scotia Dental Board suspended Dr. Gaum 10 days later. A class action was put together in which Dr. Gaum was charged with assault by 8 former patients. The MacGillivray Law firm is representing them.
On December 17, 2020, MacGillivray Law filed a proposed class action proceeding against Bedford area dentist, Dr. Errol Gaum, on behalf of former patients who experienced a variety of alleged abuses while under his care.
MacGillivray Law’s Associate Lawyer, Coralie Robert, met with Avery Haines of W5 to discuss the nature of the complaints against Dr. Gaum. Watch the W5 segment for chilling accounts from patients’ parents and former staff affected by Dr. Gaum’s reprehensible actions.
At RateND, a patient feedback website, replies are only left on the posting for 15 years.
Of those currently (2022-07) on the website, a majority rate Dr Gaum as Very Poor, often with extensive descriptions of their experiences or concerns. Every person and doctors has days in which their stresses overwhelmed them and their performance is such that they would benefit themselves and their patients greatly by taking a time-out day of health enhancement. Unfortunately, many modern commercialized societies have never practiced this policy for many decades and current economical challenges and rituals discourage it greatly. Still, in my research, few doctors have a large number of reviews, and, few have a majority of very unsatisfactory reviews.
With Dr. Gaum's age and the reality of North American society and political trends and realities .. a number of considerations might be relevant in explaining the Jekyll and Hyde personality expression related by one of his early dental assistants and by many former patients. First, most North Americans (indeed most humans) .. in my research, experience, and Spiritual Guidance .. have inherited and experience driven Energy Blocks further intensified by destructive imprinting. Energy Blocks frequently manifest in REACTIVE behaviors and sustained Attitudes which tend to be physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually violent towards others, and, self sacrificing in the longer-term towards themselves. Attitudes popular during and after wars include those which encourage MEN to be emotionally COLD, sociopathically SELF focused, and quickly judgemental, abusive, vengeful. Dr. Gaum was born either during WWII or soon after. The history of "Western" cultures for the past 700 years has been almost constant war, cold war, rebellion, or, social and political conflict.
A person carrying Energy Block patterns is ADDICTED to REACTING to Trigger sounds, appearance, smells, dynamics. These can include a cry of fear from a child or infant experiencing severe pain from a stranger in the absence of parents or friends. I personally became aware of a dental nerve irregularity during the 1960s. I had a new-to-me dentist who was giving me freezing anaesthetic injections prior to dental surgery. It seemed that regardless of how much novocaine he injected, nothing froze. In ignorance and impatience, he became quite angry and accused me of being oversensitive. I later learned, from another dentist, that a major jaw dental nerve (likely the Lingual Nerve) follows a predictable path in MOST people. In perhaps as many as 7% of people it take a predictable SECONDARY path. In my following dental appointments with other dentists, most were aware of this irregularity and were thankful when I mentioned that I was one of the irregular ones. They ten ALWAYS got the location for the "freezing" needle in the correct location .. better for both of us. Yet, not all dentists, to this day, knew/know what I was referring to ... and that did result in problems.
It is quite likely that the defense attorney (Mike Benton, QC) for Dr. Gaum will consider or present any of these considerations. This does NOT excuse or justify the actions of Dr. Gaum but it may lead to a degree of understanding and compassion. More specifically, those sanctioned with teaching dentistry and for regulating dentistry (usually by province or state in North America) have a responsibility for preparing and updating the dentists they supervise with critical FACTS such as these. They also have the responsibility to sincerely consider patient concerns, especially when they are repeated many times, about the practice of a dentist member. They could have requested that Dr. Gaum take PTSD therapy, empathy instruction, update his knowledge, or otherwise be more successful with more of his patients. Failing on ALL of these accounts .. it is THEY who are more liable for the patient traumas than is a potentially ignorant and emotionally compromised Dr. Gaum.
This is where a Class Action legal procedure MAY benefit the community, IF, it is conducted in a way that exposes TRUTHS to the public which can be acted upon. That would entail considerable coverage by mass media providers with enough detail to acquaint the public with deficiencies which citizens and taxpayers could DEMAND their political representatives do something to address and bring Benefits to all involved. Typically, class actions receive minimal new information attention and most of the public are completely unaware of them. Currently, 2022, there are numerous class action and individual legal actions against Alberta Health Services ... yet there is NO coverage of them that I have found, nor, online detail of what they are, who they apply to, any progress in the legal action. Many who could be included in a Class Action settlement are unaware of same and will neither be included, nor, encourage the institution, practitioner, or association to make any CORRECTIVE changes in their protocols, policies, or training.
This is WHY publicity is critical for this and all Class Actions.
Purchasing Factoid information advertisements is a primary manner of reaching a public which news publishers either fear to endanger their institutional advertisers, or, greedily place the reputation of their political or industry or service masters ahead of their readership health.
Action: Parameters of THIS Proposed Class Action Suit.
A Index
THIS Class Action suit is to be on behalf of ALBERTA residents and taxpayers who have received deficient, defective, compromising, disability, or fatal service from Alberta Health Services with the support of personal digital health profiles provided by Meditech Software Services.
THIS Class Action Suit (CAS) alleges that
-
AHS VALUES of Efficiency and Cost minimization were trained into, rewarded, sanctioned, and made mandatory for hired and retained staff. The willingness of each staffmember to ACCEPT and ADOPT these Values before Quality and Service-to-Patients determined their stability of employment, earnings, and unobstructed and unsupervised practice of medicine.
-
AHS provided technology with minimal outfitting of options such that relevant, comprehensive, accurate, test results were often unable to be provided to the doctors and patients involved. A scanning device that is NOT equipped to provide HIGH Resolution scans cannot provide the diagnostic benefits available from HIGH Resolution scans, as one example.
-
AHS DENIED patient access to Private sources of MEDICAL service when their own practices sustained the presence of long WAIT times for Emergency care, manipulated delays in WAIT times for elective surgeries, inconclusive and inaccurate diagnostic outcomes, Performance data on the services provided by Family Physicians, Medical Specialists, Surgeons,and other delivery staff. Without BASIC summaries of one's Performance, there is NO Accountability for errors and avoidable tragedies, NO encouragement for professionals to Improve, and NO consistency in the delivery of ANY of its services by AHS.
-
AHS reinforces Sociopathic Attitudes by rewarding TASKS, not Service.
Like many provincial Health Services, AHS pays its Physicians on a per TASK basis.
That results in many physicians focusing their efforts and decisions on the Quantity of TASKS they can dump on a patient rather than which TASKS can assist us in delivering Quality Assistance to our patient. The Task-Payment administrative structure actually PENALIZES the physician who takes longer than 10 minutes for ANY appointment, even when the physician has NO previous contact with the patient and and NO ability to appreciate or integrate the patient health dynamics .. which may extend over many DECADES. If AHS is only going to pay you for 10 minutes of an appointment, the unconscious Motivation is to maintain brevity. Easy tactics for that include AVOIDING any description or discussion about health history, MINIMIZING one's Focus to ONE symptom to the exclusion of all others, projecting a selection of a drug to prescribe based upon superstition and usually faulty comparisons,NOT READING the manufacturer's package INSERT and utilizing the Cautions noted for vaccines and drugs, and, ROUTINELY having irrelevant and simplistic lab tests run that only reveal ACUTE and persistent health problems.
Every year, in one or more provinces, a MEDICAL doctor is charged by government auditors with fraud.
A case I became familiar with concerned a physician who had been practicing in Ontario for more than 30 years.
He was within 2 years of retiring. He was found to have been submitting documentation for bogus TASKS for over 20 YEARS. His efforts at deception had rewarded him with as much as an extra $250,000. He had submitted SURPLUS task documentation indicating that he had prescribed more drugs to almost EVERY patient he had than the patient was ever informed of or ever received. He also indicated that he had appointments with patients on a frequent basis when the patient only saw him, on average, once per year. Referrals to specialists that never happened also contributed to the OVERCHARGING of the Health Services, as did other per task payment statements. He lost his license to practice. He received a fine which forced him to sell his house, liquidate a significant portion of his retirement savings, and face potential jail time beginning at the age of 70. As seems to be a pattern, the authorities took 20 YEARS to detect and prosecute the defrauding of the Canadian taxpayer when THOUSANDS of illegally charged events were well documented. AHS ENCOURAGES this ILLEGAL bulking up of a doctor's income by rewarding them for focusing on TASKS rather than SERVICE.
How many patients are given vaccines and drugs which the manufacturer SPECIFICALLY indicate would be dangerous for such a patient, and, potentially fatal? It has happened to me perhaps 15 times .. only for me to discover the danger later ... because I take an interest in my health and my regaining and maintaining a good level of health. I find MOST Canadians and Americans have little interest and use little effort to UNDERSTAND their personal health dynamics and risks. With a Policy which encourages fraud, medical ERROR, and secrecy about physician performance .. how many patients must a Physician kill before someone notices?
As will be presented throughout this document, the capacity for Alberta Health Services (AHS) to make the administrative, attitude, practical, technical, diagnostic, access CHANGES required in order to reduce and minimize the stated DAMAGES alleged ... is likely impossible. That indicates that such DAMAGES to future patients is unlikely to improve in frequency or severity.
To that end THIS CAS would best be framed as a CONTINUING legal action such that EVERY year, patients that have suffered MEDICAL Deficiencies be allowed and encouraged to submit an Application for Financial Benefit and Restitution to an Alberta Health Services newly created and authorized Department of Integrity, and that such a department be funded and staffed adequately for such application-claims to be fully processed and settlements tendered within 6 MONTHS of the application.
If the Claim is verified, ALL legal costs sustained by the patient-claimant are to be paid by Alberta Health Services.
Action: Support and Publicity Contacts.
A Index
The fundamental purpose of proposing and bringing this legal action is to bring to the awareness of Canadians, and possibly others, the weaknesses endemic in the provincial health services, and provincial health ministries which impact Canadians with higher than necessary or beneficial health care costs and provincial government budget demands, and, delayed medical attention which results in needless extensive lifestyle degradation and death.
As many as 95% of class action suits in Canada are settled out of court by the legal firm representing the plaintiffs, with as much as 50% of the settlements going to pay legal fees. In addition, many of those settlements are downgraded to as little as 10% of the requested, and publicized claim. That is, the plaintiffs, collectively, may receive as little as 5% of the publicized claim, split individually according to a means test for degree of injury.
Often, Canadian Class Action suits are poorly publicized and potentially relevant plaintiffs and witnesses never know about them. Add to this that a potential plaintiff must file their identity to the court system within a set period of time, and many potential applicants are left out of the settlement, and, cannot launch a private suit later.
The purpose of this Class Action is to first INFORM Canadians of the weaknesses of their Healthcare System;
then to bring to their AWARENESS the likely lack of attention to resolving ANY chronic health conditions;
then, to encourage them to become INVOLVED in both the publicity of the facts as well as to participate in the Action. Donations made can increase the publication of and visibility of the facts and points of view.
Publicity can also attract the attention and participation of lawyers, advocates, politicians, nurses, and popular figures to support the Action both in word and deed. When ENOUGH interest, attention, and support has built to the primary concerns, it is then that a legal representative and legal documents can be retained and submitted.
Below are some contacts which may be best to contact in the above regard for their support and/or their suggestion of others who might like to be considered. Money is not the primary settlement aim. Positive modifications to each provincial health service so as to effect more open, direct, preventive, recovery and economical results for all Canadians.
For the Advertorials (paid for advertisements which look like journalistic reports or information notices), contact the ADVERTISING department of the publication and ask for any current pricing specials. Mention that it is for a half page advertorial that is to inform Canadians about their health services paid for by volunteers. Mention that there will be a set of 3 with one published each week for 3 weeks, preferably on Sundays.
The newspapers to be contacted are listed below together with their main CONTACT details.
Choose 1 newspaper at a time and determine the Package cost for the publication of the 3 Advertorials, once each.
Be sure to ask about the editing and conversion of the Source advertorial document to the print format and ask if they will be able to provide that service in-house or can they recommend a service which can prepare it for their use. Include this cost also. Move onto the next newspaper and determine the Package cost there. Proceed as far as the publications can be completed with a total of less than $20,000. This may only be 3 to 5 papers.
Publicity can be highlighted by the publication of 1/2 page or larger Advertorials in each of the largest newspapers in each province. Publication permission can be given to any other publication for their comments on and publication of the complete pieces.
Up to a maximum of $20,000 can be allotted to this direction from my Estate by my Beneficiary, or, whatever amount she is Guided by her prayers to contribute. With enough publicity, there may appear legal professionals willing to undertake the Action for reduced fees or even pro bona.
ADVISORY regarding Testimonials from Victims, Claimants, supporters, reporters.
The compromising of witnesses has become a common knowledge practice expected of the Defence lawyers hired by large multinationals and other high value concerns for the purpose of weakening the case of the Prosecution. Movies and serials have publicized this scenario for more than a decade in the USA media ... which tends to make its way internationally ... like an invitation to copy in REALITY. The oft-presented scenario is of a victim or witness coming forward and volunteering to be a significant testifier or corroborator for the Prosecution ... against the litigant - adversary. We get to the trial and this gift of clear and STRONG support for the case of the Prosecution suddenly reverses their testimony and declares that the Prosecution wanted them to lie about what they know.
This leaves the Prosecution looking dishonest, manipulative, and desperate to find support for their accusation against the litigant. These allegations and the appearance of what just happened tends to create doubt in the jurors and favor towards the accused. Hard to prove, the deceptive and manipulative Defence team easily appear innocent and the Prosecution loses the trust of the jurors. In a Class Action dynamic, the case could be resolved AGAINST the Victims of abuse and injustice. Even worse, because the accused has been found innocent ... they cannot be retried on such issues.
It would neither be difficult nor peculiar for the Prosecution, in this case, to RECORD any such statements of evidence and experience BEFORE the trial begins, and before there was any media record of the presence of the witness. Then, on the witness stand, if the testifier changes their story, for whatever reason, the pre-trial recording endangers them with a potential charge of perjury. This safeguards the Prosecution, both in media reports of the proceedings, and, in the legal record. It also endangers the accused if the witness will then testify as to the deceptive and ILLEGAL practices or witness tampering that has happened. Recording testimony is almost a mandatory ritual in the pre-trial Discovery meetings when each lawyer questions the witnesses that are to be called to testify against them in court by their adversary.
NEVER consider using the testimony of ANYONE to strengthen this suit
unless you have at least one digital record of their expressed pre-trial position.

How a powerful organization protects doctors from medical error claims.

Published Saturday, March 13, 2021
w5@bellmedia.ca
The CMPA (Canadian Medical Protective Association) was founded in 1901 by the Canadian Federal Government.
It has no limitations on how much legal assistance it provides to members to defend them against legal suits for medical injuries or malpractice. The goal is not to go to court and to establish if negligence has been done. Each Provincial Medical Association negotiates rebates for doctors. $225M paid out each year for the past 5 years for settlements.

One out of 13 patients going into an acute care hospital will experience an Adverse Event with serious harm and roughly 1 out of 100 will experience an adverse event with death. Approximately 35,000 Canadians die every year as a result of medical errors in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The number of Canadians who are harmed each year are about 500,000. There is a huge uphill battle for the families of patients to get information about the incidents.

Some families take the doctor to court, but physicians win the majority of cases.
They are backed by a strong organization, called the Canadian Medical Protective Association, or CMPA ... who have $5B in resources to defend their members and pay settlements. Physicians who pay more than $1.750 in liability premiums per year to the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) can be eligible for a Rebate (PLP) of up to 90% of the cost from taxpayer monies (i.e. Nova Scotia). It has been reported that if someone has been injured and has a $10,000 claim, the CMPA has spent as much as $100,000 in legal fees to defend the doctor's reputation.
Legal suits often take an average of 5 to 6 years to be resolved, but have taken as long as 15 years.
As many as 27 lawyers have faced a litigants lawyer. Over a 10 year period 75% of claimants lose their claim.
Doctors escape accountability.

Canada is the only country in the world which has such an organization as the Canadian Medical Protective Association.
In many cases the medical system is rigged against Canadians.
Doctors often practice in support of suggested mythical standards (no one under 50 gets colon cancer, vaccines are always safe for anyone of any age, ... ) of who can get what, when, and what is effective for treatment of what is thought to be the problem --- in opposition to what the screening tests indicate. (Robin, Nova Scotia, 7-year suit)
COMMENT:
It would not be beneficial to bring any specific suits against any doctors.
It is good to be aware of the Canadian Medical Protective Association and its influence.
POLITICIANS are the source of the health service structure and physician training in each province.
For best influence mount an extensive publicity campaign through media reporters.
W5 and its contacts for the above story could be good contacts for additional input.
Seek to get the word to as many Canadians as possible for the SAFETY of their loved ones.

QUALITY, or, Minimization?
The FAILURE of most political systems is shown in history, though generally ignored, as MISCOMMUNICATION between the political representatives, and, the citizens they are supposed to be working for and who pay taxes and allow legal and commerce policies to both empower political LEADERS, and charge them with RESPONSIBILITY for social HARMONY.
The HUMAN problem is that as a population unit INCREASES communication between all of the individuals DECREASES, and, as DENSITY increases, the need for SERVICES requires an Administrative BUREAUCRACY to deliver the services. The typical MEANS to resolving the individual CONFLICTS and gaining an adherence to Social RESPONSIBILITIES has been to appoint a LEADER and group REPRESENTATIVES. The Representatives are to act as spokespersons for the groups they are communicating for. Language becomes a communication CHANNEL which is considered a contributor to Harmony and Peace. At the same time, it becomes a shortcut to bickering and extended discussion to promote a RELIGION which sets VALUES and PENALTIES which define membership and tribalism.
An inevitable difficulty arises when an economy and lifestyle of Self-Sufficiency transitions into that of AGRICULTURE which enables SURPLUS production in exchange for the FREEDOM of foraging over unrestricted territories, the hourly JOY of discovery, appreciation, and respect for an ever dynamic wealth of lifeforms, and, the FLEXIBLE dynamics of tasks. PROFIT quickly becomes translated into Influence and Power over the Rights and Choices of others. Education and Imprinting convert an extended Family into an expanded Culture. Keys to decisionmaking change from PERSONAL Need to SOCIAL Survival and Security. Territorial BOUNDARIES, PROTECTION, and RITUALS minimize personal Preferences, Awareness, and Choice.
Where these trends in REALITY impose on ALL Political Departments, Ministries, and TASKS is in their need for FINANCING, the determination of HOW and WHEN that financing will be allocated, and in WHO will make the commanding decisions set out in POLICIES, Regulations, Routines, and, Practices. In a currency enabled political structure, Representatives are elected or nominated into positions of decisionmaking POWER. The SELF exhilaration of Power creates a LUST for re-election. MONEY enables re-election through the widespread use of Mass Media and Promotion. To increase one's FINANCIAL resources, bribery in many forms is offered. Once Accepted, those politicians compromised in their Values and Decisions tend to enact policies which Reward the few, and, SACRIFICE the Harmony and Sufficiency of the many. Administrative bureaucrats hold a BUFFERING position between Politicians and the Citizen. Their Reward for Employment depends upon their unquestioned following of Orders defined by compromised politicians. The Political community, seeking continued Support by the Citizens, use the media to emphasize that they are POTENTIALLY Reducing service expenditures and taxes, and, providing more Services ... an Equation of Contradictions.
As long as the Public, in their ROUTINE dominated DIMINISHED mental capacities accept their political Representatives, Leaders as gods (unquestioned), and their political SYSTEM as Inevitable .. they ENCOURAGE Politicians to deceive them with LIES, for bureaucrats to serve them as Sheep, and for the professional TECHNICIANS delivering the services to act as MACHINES. Evermore, the dynamic SACRIFICES the Freedoms, Preferences, and Needs of the Public .. UNTIL the Public either REBEL and demand SIGNIFICANT changes, or, the ever increasingly WEAKENED political structure is consumed by a STRONGER, more STABLE political system, or, ALL of the Services COLLAPSE when the Technician-professionals quit, leave, or fail to be replaced on their retirement or death.
Long-term medical personnel )nurses, doctors, specialists) have communicated both to myself and many others, that the CANADIAN healthcare systems, regardless of province or territory, have been DEFICIENT in funding, IRRESPONSIBLE in leadership and decision, and, devoid of QUALITY in services available and delivered .. for DECADES, many DECADES, or seemingly ORGANIZATIONALLY from their beginning. In that case, the BEST outcome of a healthcare REALITY Awareness would be for the individual Canadian to accept, that for the Optimum health for themselves and their dependents ... they would best set aside PERSONAL savings to support therapies, supplements, and foreign provided surgeries if an when needed .. beyond the ABILITY of the local health services provision.

EDMONTON - Alberta's struggle to fix a crisis in emergency room waits took an in-house turn Thursday when the No. 2 politician in the Health Department blamed the bureaucrats.
"We're not the people running the darn thing. That's AHS (Alberta Health Services).
They need to be held accountable by us in government, by us in the legislature, by all Albertans,"
Raj Sherman (also an emergency room physician), the parliamentary assistant to Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky, told reporters.
"They've got the biggest (budgetary) pay raise in history to deliver health care.
They've been given the best staff in the nation and the hardest working staff in the nation.
"The leadership in AHS needs to inspire the frontline staff."
He singled out Premier Ed Stelmach for not following through on a 2008 promise to take action on emergency overcrowding.
"The premier made a promise to the ER doctors in writing and has broken his promise not only to the ER doctors but also to the seniors, the 1.8 million Albertans who present (themselves) for emergency care and their two million family members, and to all frontline health-care professionals," he wrote in the email. ...
In a letter from Dr. Paul Parks -- the head of emergency care for the Alberta Medical Association -- said the emergency rooms faced "potential catastrophic collapse" due to long waits and bed blockages.
The letter opened a floodgate of horror stories from doctors and others:
patients waiting 20 hours or more for care;
a heart patient dying awaiting treatment;
a woman having her cervix examined in a public area;
frustrated patients calling 911 while sitting in emergency care;
paramedics forced to sit for hours with patients in wards waiting for them to be admitted. ...
October 13, 2020
... A confidential internal AHS draft plan, dated July 29 and obtained by CBC News, reveals that under direction from Health Minister Tyler Shandro, AHS had proposed a cost-cutting plan that would have resulted in the elimination of as many as 10,300 full-time jobs, affecting up to 16,700 employees, including nurses and other front-line staff. ...
The July 29 draft plan obtained by CBC News was calculated to reduce costs by between $837 million and nearly $1.2 billion annually. The health authority's budget is $15.4 billion. ...
Labour: AHS would outsource thousands of general service jobs, axe many nursing and clinical support positions, and remove collective agreement provisions — through legislative change, if necessary — to reduce compensation for nurses. It would also eliminate doctors' clinical stipends and claw back overhead costs. ...
Health-care policy expert Steven Lewis has done consulting work in Alberta and taught at the University of Calgary.
... Lewis said, “Historically, it has been very difficult to bludgeon any major group in the system into large-scale change. So if you think you're in a position to win battles that no one has won before, good luck to you.
"You can't make meaningful, positive and durable change in any health-care system without at least the complicity, and, ideally the active engagement and support, of the workforce," he said.
"If you don't assure people job security, why would you expect them to willingly participate enthusiastically in making the changes that may result in the loss of their own jobs?"
Under the plan, AHS would reduce part-time nursing positions, impacting nearly 1,600 nurses.
It would eliminate between 1,200 and 1,870 full-time equivalent nursing and clinical support jobs.
Sick leave would be reduced and there would be stricter oversight of overtime pay.
AHS would also explore whether to schedule staff on shorter notice based on patient demand.
Linen, in-patient food, and cleaning services would be outsourced, eliminating nearly 4,000 full-time equivalent positions, which would affect more than 7,400 employees.
AHS would claw back overhead costs from doctors, remove clinical stipends, reduce interpretation fees for certain tests, and negotiate a new contract with radiologists. The health authority’s contribution to academic salaries for employees who teach would be frozen. ...
It would remove some United Nurses of Alberta collective agreement provisions, through legislation if necessary, to reduce compensation. That change would be implemented in April 2021 and was estimated to save up to $48 million by March 2022.
(University of Toronto adjunct professor Michael Rachlis, a public health doctor, has worked as a consultant for provincial governments and their health organizations, including in Alberta.) Rachlis said it doesn’t make sense to have several hospitals in an area that offer broad services but can’t provide specialized care.
“There is no point in picking up somebody who is having a serious heart attack and then driving to their local hospital 10 km away if that local hospital has no facility to do an angiogram and to do stenting or surgery if that is required,” he said.
He said the government should prioritize providing services now lacking in rural communities, specifically primary health care and community home care — both "lifelines" for aging rural populations.
Rachlis and Lewis both referenced the aggressive cuts, including thousands of layoffs, imposed on Alberta’s health-care system by the government of former premier Ralph Klein. Deep cuts during a provincial recession were followed by years of runaway spending as successive governments attempted to undo the damage to the health-care system.
“There's too many patients and not enough people to look after them –- ultimately, that is the fundamental concern and the fundamental problem right now,” Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency physician at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital, told Global News. "And it doesn't have to be the emergency department.
“There is a shortage of people to do the job. And that means the rest of us are trying to do the job without the number of people and the hours in the day that are required to do it, which leads to the backlog and the wait.”
It’s become a daily phenomenon for Thirsk to start his shift by seeing patients who have been waiting 12 or more hours in the emergency department. ...
The physician advocate organization said patients are
“being forced to wait too long for essential, urgent care” after arriving sick, injured, afraid or confused, and often in pain.
“Despite the best efforts of health-care workers, front-line physicians report that the care in emergency departments is often sub-optimal because of the growing pressures on our hospitals,” the paper reads.
...
In February, the province announced a $1.8-billion expansion for the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
“They were talking about an eight-year plan. And unfortunately, we're in a crisis and we need room now,” Gash said.
Both Gash (Dr. Tim Gash, an emergency physician at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre) and Thirsk said announcements of adding capacity via beds to the health-care system will help, but replacing doctors, nurses and other staff who have left the province or retired isn’t as quick a fix.
“To get new people trained to replace (doctors) is a six- to 10-year thing to do,” Thirsk said.
“You can find a nurse and put them in nursing school today. They would take four years to train and then probably a year or two on the job training before they can come and work in the emergency department as a fully independent, functioning nurse.
“It takes so long to train someone to do these highly technical jobs that the short-term decisions that are made in terms of funding or funding cuts, they can't be rectified or changed quickly.” ...
Both ER doctors said they are seeing the health-care system in the worst shape they’ve ever seen in their decades-long careers.
“Not having that resource to care for patients is shocking -- and without any clear plan for how do we fill that gap?” Gash said.
“Right now, we've got some providers that are trying to almost singlehandedly keep the ship afloat by working just incredible hours to provide patient care. And it's not sustainable.” ...
People who work in health care in Ontario say the key solutions to alleviating the pressure on emergency rooms don't involve quick fixes but rather long-term changes to the system.
"Ontario is now paying the price for 20 years of effectively no long-term health services planning, over successive governments," said Anthony Dale, president of the Ontario Hospital Association.
"Learn the lesson of the last two decades, which is if you do not plan, you have no path to anywhere," said Dale in an interview. ...
It means roughly 6,000 patients across the province in an acute care hospital ward when they don't actually need to be, yet can't be discharged for lack of available home care, long-term care or physical rehabilitation. ,,,
Experts say the key long-term solutions to this involve significant increases in capacity at long-term care homes and a greater supply of home care, both of which are a long way down the health-care line from the ER, and both of which will take time. ...
"It doesn't matter how many beds you have," said Sara Fung, a registered nurse and co-host of the Gritty Nurse Podcast. "At the end of the day, you need a nurse to care for a patient. And if you don't have that, you don't have a functioning health-care system."
Getting the province's registered nurse workforce up to the per capita average of the rest of the country would involve hiring more than 12,000 RNs, according to CBC News calculations based on statistics compiled by the Canadian Institute for Health Information. That would amount to a roughly 14 per cent jump in the number of nurses currently working in direct care. ...
Some 1.3 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor, and people who don't have a family doctor are more likely to come to the emergency room for care than those who do. ...
"So we are seeing a lot of what I'll call delayed diagnosis, people presenting in a much more ill state of whatever illness they might have," said (Dr. David) Rauchwerger in an interview. "Be it cancer, heart disease, diabetes, whatever the case may be, they're coming in sicker, and we've seen our proportion of patients who are requiring admission increase."
... Hospital nurses receive pay increases for each year of experience for the first eight years from $33.90 per hour to $47.69, according to their payscale. After eight years, however, they don't get another raise beyond the current annual one per cent increase, which is below the rate of inflation.
It's not until nurses hit the quarter-century mark, that they get an additional 84 cents an hour.
Nurses are considered essential workers and therefore cannot strike, further limiting their collective bargaining power, the letter reads.
"They can, however, leave the profession and many are voting with their feet, quitting in unprecedented numbers," it says.
Hospitals in the province currently face a 10 to 12 per cent vacancy rate for nursing positions, according to the Ontario Nurses' Association.
A hospital in Clinton, Ont., temporarily closed its emergency department Saturday through Monday and a Kingston, Ont., hospital reduced its urgent care centre hours over the weekend to consolidate staff at its ER, with both facilities citing physician and nurse shortages for the moves.
In Perth, Ont., the local site of the Perth and Smith Falls District Hospital closed its emergency room on Saturday, with a plan to keep it shut until Thursday as staff who are already stretched thin contend with an outbreak of COVID-19.
"It’s unprecedented for our community," Dr. Alan Drummond, an emergency physician at the Perth hospital, said in an interview.
The Perth hospital has seen its emergency room nurses drop from 15 to five in the last several months, said Drummond, who also serves as co-chair of public affairs for the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians.
When two nurses contracted COVID-19 recently, the Perth ER was forced to close temporarily, he said. Administrators said last week the hospital was in a "staffing crisis." ...
"The staffing shortage is (because of) the burnout and people leaving," said Ontario Nurses’ Association President Cathryn Hoy.
"But why they're burning out is because they come in for an eight or 12-hour shift and they're staying 16 hours. Sometimes they’re staying 24 hours."
The Ontario Medical Association said the government must consider setting up specialist centres focused on specific surgeries or procedures to help alleviate hospital burdens. ...

Waiting: Who's on First?
W Index
The IMPRINTING and prejudices of researchers concerning the topic of Medical WAIT Lists in Canadian provinces is revealed in their blanket ACCEPTANCE of the categorization provided by the government mandated definition and the various Health Services RESTRICTED sanction to Action. It is acknowledged that MOST of the persons ending up on such WAIT lists, have hip, knee, or eye cataract problems. In my PERSONAL experience, over a period of almost 10 YEARS, many less DRAMATIC and Obvious ailments remain UNDIAGNOSED and left to fester ... and by the observed ACTIONS of the various Health Services .. the patient is Abandoned and left to become Disabled, Unemployable, Destitute, and Fatal.
A DEAD patient is the least COSTLY to such a system.
And, if you are undiagnosed by a Health Services system which has been revered by the government financially assisted media for more than 100 years .. a status quo FANTASY of healthcare Integrity, Excellence, and Effectiveness ... no one will CONSIDER that you are truly ill .. perhaps even you yourself. As many as 5 GENERATIONS of Canadians have been successfully brainwashed to BELIEVE and Support a system built on LIES, Distortion, Abandonment, Abuse. It is ABUSIVE to tell someone that you CARE ... while allowing and encouraging them to be harmed further, with YOUR blessing.
Waiting: How Many?

The above totals do NOT include those who COULD be Diagnosed, but were NOT, and who will become disabled, underemployed, bankrupted, indebted, social service recipients, unavoidably EARLY retired, and, depressed .. while being encouraged by their DECLINING health .. to acquire MORE forms of illness ... which will also NOT be Diagnosed or Treated.
The TOTAL of Canadians who are on WAIT lists, AND, are chronically ill can NOW (2022) be conservatively estimated as 10% of the population! The current population of Canada is 38,502,971 as of Saturday, October 22, 2022, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. That means that perhaps almost 4 MILLION Canadians would be happier, more productive, less economically dependent, more politically supportive, healthier citizens with an INCREASED ability to be resilient in personal and group exposure to challenges ... IF, they received RELEVANT, Timely, Effective health enhancement from their taxation supported Health Services.
There was a time (1932) when medical difficulties could have been addressed in their EARLY and LESS COSTLY recovery stages. Allowed to fester and amplify, by DELAY and AVOIDANCE, these same illnesses grew to become COMPLICATED (demanding MORE Time and Skill to Diagnose, and, MORE Time and Expense to Treat). This provided an INCREASING COST to alleviate, and, in a government with predictably changing political parties in Power ... political FAILURE was easy to deflect in the Drama-Obsessed MEDIA ... as the RESPONSIBILITY of the FORMER party-in-power.
The politically demonstrated consistent PATTERN of Talking, yet effecting NOTHING, increasingly became a status quo dynamic of PAUSE. Nothing will IMPROVE. The AWARE citizen, secure in REALITY, as presented in this document and others, will set aside 10% of their income into an Emergency PERSONAL Health FUND. This will enable them to travel to other countries to acquire RECOVERY treatment when they, or other family members, become significantly ill. It also acknowledges that local Health Services personnel are neither provided with the tools nor the training, nor have the experience to Identify and seek treatment for their patient beyond EASILY Observed health difficulties such as burns, broken bones, currently demonstrated symptoms of heart attack, stoke, or unconsciousness. or high fever.
Waiting: The Losses!
W Index
Those people who have NOT endured a lengthy Medical WAIT period for treatment, or, a lengthy period of Medical DENIAL and ABANDONMENT through inaccurate or incomplete or irrelevant testing and incompetent Diagnoses can usually NOT imagine the challenges, disappointments, and losses experienced by the citizen-patient seeking health RECOVERY. Then, often, once they are involved in such a dynamic, they are encouraged by the usual LACK of Response of the Health Services system to become increasingly Depressed, Distrustful, Irritated, Frustrated, Hopeless, and, driven into a state of mental resignation of having to ever needlessly LOSE. SOME of these Losses include:
-
ATTITUDE: Achievement and Purpose, Choice.
Persistent symptoms of Fatigue, pain, brain fog, together with often increasing symptom presence of intestinal problems, skin lesions, and added weight on a low calorie diet can often FORCE one to choose between what one would LIKE to do and what one CAN do. Previously, I provided counselling sessions which lasted anywhere between several hours to as long as 12 hours. Session preparations could also take as much time and energy.
In late 2017, I was unable to provide sessions of ANY length.
Many personal functions had to be done by myself and could not be shared or delegated.
Fortunately, I had a Basic Personality and life experiences which made these activities calm and relaxed routines, while many others would have found them to be humiliating, too demanding, frustrating, anxiety generating, even dangerous. Intestinal flush protocols, grocery shopping, laundry, meal preparations, and household cleaning became personal mandates. Food banks and social services meal deliveries were always out-of-choice as the only foods they provided were NOT best for me. Do it yourself, or, it doesn;t get done. If it doesn't get done, you may die!
-
PHYSICAL: Loss of ability to perform personal and social activities, Choice.
For most of my adult life I was more physically active than the average Canadian.
That increasingly lessened, in phases allied with the number and progression of the diseases I had and was coping with. The ability to walk for kilometers, climb stairs multiple steps at a time, and do construction work or gardening for hours at a time .. became reduced over a 7 year period into barely being able to walk 100 feet and having to negotiate stairs slowly and carefully. Being able to do computer work or analytical reading for up to 12 hours at a time, without breaks ... became reduced to having to struggle to do an hour's work at a time. Attempting to do more could result in rapid breathing, light-headedness, skeletal injuries, and even blackouts. There was a constant safety requirement of ALWAYS being consciously aware of where the activity THRESHOLD was, for the moment, between ENOUGH and TOO-MUCH.
When you CONSTANTLY feel like you are being smothered for lack of oxygen, yet your lungs are mostly clear ... you can panic and blackout from hyperventilation, have a stroke or heart attack, or become confused and desperate ... and have others flee from you. With pulmonary artery blockages, you get ALL the particular symptoms I have had for more than 3 years, yet your lungs and bronchial passages test ok ... so in Alberta and British Columbia, and likely other provinces ... your are DENIED oxygen supplementation. Without a prescription for such, and the monies to pay for it .. it is ILLEGAL for one to sell it to you or for you to use it. So, in this case, your learn, if you have not developed the skill earlier, to REMAIN Calm and suppress the fear, terror, anxiety, desperation, weakness ... associated with a LACK of oxygen. How many Albertans, and other Canadians, have simply DIED ... an end to ANY form of MEDICAL intervention.
-
FINANCIAL: Loss of Income, Job, Responsibilities, Choice.
With the SUDDEN introduction of both significant weight and mass gain and persistent fatigue, there became time constraints on WHEN intestinal flush protocols HAD to be done, often without much notice, and, at any hour of the day or night. Sessions, appointments, work shifts, and employment dependability quickly fragmented into total inconsistency. Work, even self-employment, became impossible. Fortunately, I was at an age when I could begin early retirement, yet, this meant accepting greatly REDUCED benefits. I could not apply for and qualify for Disability Benefits as I had optimistically expected to recover from this latest significant disease and health problems within a year or two. So, I delayed in applying. By the time I did apply,
I had passed a 2 year threshold in effect at the time, which disqualified me from applying if I had not paid at least a moderate level of income tax during the most recent years. It was NEVER about whether I could be MEDICALLY diagnosed as DISABLED. It was always about whether I had been so fully DEPENDENT upon the medical system as to attempt to FORCE a Diagnosis at the appearance of the slightest health problem. With delays in seeing a MEDICAL specialist ranging between 6 months and 13 months for INITIAL appointments after a Family Physician appointment that might be delayed by 3 or 4 weeks ... assessments had to be FAST and ACCURATE. There was little time for second guesses.
No employment income and no service provision to others means NO payment of income taxes, NO benefits to clients who have benefited in significant ways in the past, and NO contribution to community Harmony. That outcome mandates that other citizens must pay MORE income tax; that potential clients must maintain POOR health, CONFLICT generating communication patterns and self-sabotaging relationships in their occupations and/or intimate lives; and less skilled members of society must struggle forward with inadequate levels of awareness and experience. And, other Canadians get to observe how the Canadian political and health services structures FAIL.
-
INTIMACY: Loss of Significant Relationships, Choice.
In my opinion and experience, constructive intimacy requires one to be DIRECTLY aware of other people and their preferences, desires and needs. It requires that you choose to invest time with them in daily activities like eating and food preparation and that you participate together in social, sporting, and hobby activities. There must also be conversations in which values, principles, preferences/differences, and degrees of spiritual awareness and self-direction are shared and discussed. You may not be on the same WAVELENGTH on all subjects and choices as your significant other(s) but if you are going to limit arguments, misunderstandings, impositions, anxieties, fear, and vengeance expressions .. you are best to at least have mutual understanding and respect.
Those do not come easy and automatic, especially if you MUST constantly focus on STAYING ALIVE, without becoming paranoid, reactive, and desperate ... which DESTROY meaningful communication by sabotaging hearing, openness, compassion, and partnership. Working and sharing together willingly and with joys and benefits is impossible for ONE person to do alone. You either withdraw from such a relationship, or, you will destroy it. If you have children, their continued presence will IMPRINT them with all the ways in which YOU and many others FAIL to cope successfully with degrees of Calm and Harmony. Do you want outbursts, misunderstandings, threats of mental or physical violence, and, the LOSS of abilities ... to graduate into HATE from them to you, and, from you to them? Most persons have NOT been equipped to make a self-directed CONSTRUCTIVE Choice.

IDENTITY: Loss of a Calm and Confident sense of Abilities, Choice.
Forcing oneself to make work attempts which would FAIL would only garner Don't Hire references. I had a LONG series of exemplary references in multiple careers. Why DESTROY future opportunities after a Recovery? I had the SKILLS. I had the EDUCATION. I had the EXPERIENCE. I had the PERFORMANCE reports. I had the CONFIDENCE of having completed tasks and projects earlier with great examples of leadership, management, design, maintenance, and efficiency ... yet from 2016 onwards NONE of this REALITY remained Relevant. The longer the LOSS of health continued, the longer my resume would remain BLANK. The longer I could not socialize because of impossible-to-schedule routines (that could last for 4 hours or more) due to health requirements, the increasing LOSS of membership became permanent as communication and interaction building and reinforcing of friendships and teamwork ceased.
In a 10 minute interview with a new doctor focusing on an illness SYMPTOM, no one cares about how you FEEL about your collapsing and broken SELF. And if you portray undue concern for a RECOVERY, their projection and defensive judgement is that you are being paranoid or hypochondriac. Too much emphasis and you are IGNORED. Too much CALM and you are DENIED. Either way, you are ABANDONED as a person, and relegated to NUMBER status.

SECURITY: Loss of Savings and Investments, Choice.
You either are self-directed and have optimal skills of research and decisionmaking, you learn them, or, you DIE. In these forms of severe, increasingly complex and demanding, forms of ill health, you make decisions and invest monies into therapies, learning, and supplements which you have learned by muscle testing, Spiritual Guidance, or trial-and-error are contributors to your delaying health decline, maintaining a level of health, improving towards a possible recovery. There are FINANCIAL costs. NONE of these are Free, and few qualify for any level of social or medical assistance. A failure to extend these research and testing practices to pharmaceuticals that your doctor prescribes can be fatal. On 4 occasions, over a period of 24 years, MEDICAL doctors CONFIDENTLY and Quickly, with minor questioning, prescribed drugs for me which gave me almost immediate Life Threatening side effects. The drugs were KNOWN to result in such disasters when MEDICAL doctors remained unfamiliar with the cautions applied to the drug, and, did not share these with the patient.
In more than 75 years, I have only had 2 pharmacists (out of dozens) and ONE medical doctor (out of even more dozens) ever offer information to me about possible side effects of the drugs they were providing. So, I INVESTED, eventually, ALL of my savings into health enhancing devices, therapies, supplements, skill development, research, foods, and location modification ... to maintain or improve my health conditions. And, in my particular experience, these Choices and Investments were ALWAYS Beneficial at delaying further disability and death. That is, I stopped counting when I was told for the 14th time by politically sanctioned Canadian doctors that I was about to die ... because they were too lazy, ignorant, proud, or insincere to find a workable diagnosis. Unlike God, they chose to IMPOSE on me and never to Partner with me.
As may be seen, one can LOSE a great many Choices which one has exercised previously.
This translates into a LOSS of Opportunities in ALL areas of one's lifestyle.
One must make do with what one has .. and one seems to have Less and Less.
Therapies and Supplements which one KNOWS would be helpful may have to be delayed or denied.
Persons who could BENEFIT from one's previous experiences, training, skills, and insights
... often must be abandoned for lack of energy, clarity, time, and financial resources.
The longer one's life activities and participations are restricted or terminated by one's SYMPTOMS and health maintaining demands, the possible SEPARATION one may experience from a Return to full activity and participation. Effectively, one WILL experience the weight and vacuum of Activities, Choices, and Responsibilities such that a RECOVERY of one's health may leave one with a sense of INABILITY to RESUME what one was skilled and experienced with. Like the experience of TORTURE or PTSD, for some persons, the REMOVAL of illness symptoms and restrictions can encourage one to simply Relax from the previously demanding and destructive illness influences, and, NOT make any efforts at reactivating the benefits and opportunities and choices which one had to surrender.
At WORST, the ABUSES, which many, if not all, Canadian provincial health services IMPOSE on potential patient-citizens may CONDITION the person to never regain a POSITIVE contribution to their community, occupation, relationships, political involvements. That is, a health services support network which encourages a patient to REMAIN ill, penalizes them for seeking assistance elsewhere, and actually threatens to make the individual LESS able to cope and more likely to become depressed ... may leave the citizen LESS productive (COST), MORE dependent on social services (COST), and LESS willing to support family, community, and national HARMONY. A DANGER is that such an inefficient, ineffective, and IDENTITY murdering set of policies and attitudes may encourage the suffering patient or traumatized recovered citizen ... to take actions and make choices which mirror REACTION, violence, rage, criminality ... or, Passive inertia. This is HOW and WHY many nations and societies have FAILED in the past.
When you reward MEMBERSHIP with Abuse, you retain LOSERS and drive away WINNERS.
Waiting: Why, Accountability :(

Large Commercial offices and Political systems are often role structured in what appears to be obvious levels of role and responsibility with possible levels of decreasing authority and responsibility for a delegation of more routine duties. The REALITY, which I observed in hundreds of prospective client offices during my sales prospecting for a business service, is that individuals in non-executive positions, such as a secretary or receptionist, may carry significant decisionmaking Authority even though they do not have the Responsibility involved. These are often ACCESS and LOCAL operational decisions; seldom Policy changes or enforcements.
It is also possible for persons in Executive title positions to ACT as if they have Authority to make crucial decisions when they only have been given the Responsibility. They will entertain all the detail and presentations of the Service provider representative ... and then, request time to consider the opportunity being presented. They actually need the TIME to present the IDEAS and Concepts to their superior, who actually does have the Authority to make the decision being requested. This dynamic enables the mid-level executive to take credit for the opportunity and presentation provided by the Service representative. The WEAKNESS in this communication is that if the mid-level manager is not an Excellent presenter, does not recall all of the DETAILS of the Service representative's presentation, and does NOT possess all of the experience background
of the Service representative .. they will SABOTAGE any benefit to the Services being offered. The REAL Executive Authority may ask a question or ask for DETAILS which either the Service representative did not offer, or, the mid-level officer does not recall, did not ask about, or is completely ignorant of.
Whenever there is an Economical Dependency relationship, as in the case of a political Authority (government department or legislature) determining the SIZE of the Budget for the Alberta Health Services, no one wants to generate CONFLICT between the Services organization and the political bank. This is often interpreted by the less powerful officer as NOT presenting a REALITY which the officer of more authority does NOT want to hear or have to consider. Often, in Canadian provincial and federal systems, political representatives lacking ANY previous work experience or interest in the field of Health, are appointed to a position of Authority .. such as a Health Minister, or senior officer in charge of health regulation and budgetary responsibilities. In other words, the dynamic can often degrade to a relationship between a financier (who knows NOTHING about the services to be financed) and a managing executive (who does NOT want to have their INCOME reduced due to a misinterpret ion, judgement, or demand considered abusive or attacking by the source of finance Authority). This makes the appreciation of Relevant and Realistic details difficult if not impossible.
A FANTASY can develop in which the SERVICE Executive takes the Attitude that IF the MONEY Executive Needs or Wants to know something, they will ask. And, the MONEY executive can take an Attitude that if there is something they are best to know in their consideration of a new BUDGET for the Service, the Service Executive will present it to them. Significant difficulties are all too often the outcome of this dynamic of DEFERRED Responsibility. With the politician being ignorant of the language and dynamics and Reality of the Health Services WORLD, they are unlikely to understand appreciate whatever the Service Executive attempts to communicate to them. This will raise conflict through misunderstandings. The Service Executive will become increasingly agitated and angry with their inability to convey the Health Services REALITY to the politician. It would be like a person who ONLY speaks Chinese attempting to communicate with a person who ONLY speaks Arabic. Neither understand the concerns of the other, yet, the effort being made to convey SOMETHING suggests that there are Important Elements that are best to be understood. After a few of these experiences, or only one, neither officer wants to communicate with the other.
The public, in Canada, elect a Political Party to Administer the taxation monies collected for the purpose of providing SERVICES to the citizens which will enable Harmony, Security, and Protection. Even that, in Canada, is NOT fully Democratic as the political system has never been structured for each vote to be DIRECTLY assigned to a political party. There was an effort to modify the voting system to adopt this form of Direct Democracy about 10 years ago, but, it Failed. Democracy WEAKENED.
Once a political party is, or acquires, Dominant Authority over government Policies, Regulations, Laws, Budgets, and other choices ... members from the party are APPOINTED to areas - departments of Responsibility. This often results in such members being given Budgetary Authority over tasks and responsibilities and services which they have little or no previous experience in, or empathy for. So, the BLIND attempt through a FANTASY of simplistic rationalizations about something they do not understand .. to effect ORDER through COST CONTROL. This is like a Bakery Chef deciding how much to pay for an alternator which a mechanic requires to repair a vehicle. As the Bakery Chef has had it IMPRESSED upon them that they must keep COSTS DOWN, they opt to buy a Second Hand alternator for the mechanic. At best, the mechanic installs the Alternator, which FAILS nine months later, whereas a NEW alternator would have lasted for several years at a minimum. At worst, the USED alternator, purchased by the Bakery Chef, is the wrong model and cannot be used ... so yet another part must be purchased ... from a budget even more stressed now.
This FORM of IRRELEVANT decisionmaking and budgetary OBSESSION results in budgetary shortfalls, WASTEFUL spending, INCREASING requirements for Spending, DECREASED levels of Efficiency, and a disappointing level of Effectiveness .. which observers are encouraged to interpret as INCOMPETENT. Yet, everyone involved in the decisionmaking believes they are making the BEST decisions and that it is the Fault of the others involved that is resulting in this contrived Anarchy. The vehicle owner is the ultimate LOSER. They are receiving POOR service which has an undependable outcome, costing them more than their friends are charged for a repair, and, they are left INSECURE in the knowledge that their vehicle repair carries NO Warranty .. because it was completed with CHEAP Used parts. Yet, if the vehicle owner only has ACCESS to this ONE Service Depot ... better Quality parts, Dependable transportation, Timely completion, Lower long-term maintenance costs, Safer operation, and a Confidence in the Repair ... can only be attained by the owner either driving their vehicle to another country and other Service Depot, or, having it towed there.

It is both unfortunate, disrespectful to those interviewed as key contributors, and audience demeaning .. that this documentary FAILED to acknowledge the IDENTITIES of such Contributors. This could have been done by either a notation of them in the Credits, and/or, a LABEL in the video (with either black print on a white background, or white print on a black background .. as some documentary producers have been doing for the past SIX YEARS) to correctly present the SPELLING of their names. As the spelling of common and personal names has multiplied in terms of spelling variations in the recent decades ... acknowledging a specific person, and/or, finding references to them in other research sources (such as the Internet) is needlessly complicated, or even made impossible, without ACCURATE spelling.

An indicator of inexperienced (young, sheltered, institutionalized, role restricted) research, ignorant analysts, and/or disrespectful authorities is a persistence in observing what is on the surface, obvious, or, expected .. and declaring it to be the Truth. For those with experience, empowered by learning from errors, humbly open to new insights, and examining with enhanced intellectual skills and a true scientific method .. TRUTH is often embraced by a composition of factors which are best to be applied on an Individual basis (Relevancy) and summarized as Possible or Frequent PRINCIPLES. The DOWNFALL of most human societies is a Compulsion to FORCE Simplistic Generalizations from Observations which Affirm Expectations, Projections, Fears, Status Quo, and, Authority. This WAR mentality extends from a Desperation ... formed from a Competition for Limited Resources ... imposed by Overpopulation.
ACTING with a War mentality during periods of declared or socially and politically promoted definitions of Peace serves to Apply IRRELEVANT Policies. At best, such policies further complicate problems and delay conflict resolution and blind leaders and representatives to opportunities. Eventually, the increasing mandating and sanctioning of Pride-driven erroneous decisions on the population creates such a large subsection of injured, sacrificed, disabled, impoverished, abused, dispossessed, hopeless, and distrusting citizens ... that rebellion, abandonment, and/or, a Confidence in separation into a newly constructed Identity occurs. With the status quo political structure becoming minimized, unsupported, and sometimes violently opposed ... the society collapses. The sum of human recorded HISTORY indicates that this CYCLE has persisted ONLY for the past 10,000 years of a likely 2 million years of human existence. As we humans demonstrate that we are unable or unwilling to learn from such self-sabotaging patterns almost assures that the only variation of such a pattern is that we have REPEATED it with increasing numbers of participants, increasing devastation of the environment and an amplification of the numbers of CIVILIANS murdered by the political sanction of WAR.
We PROUDLY accentuate the now media-driven FANTASIES of our TRIBAL political immaturity and desperation as we soldier onwards to our next self-inflicted species attempt at annihilation. Inflexible and increasingly Powerful and Irrelevant BASIC Political infrastructures grow a subconscious WEAKNESS within a community, society and nation. In Canada, the PROVINCIAL health services structures are one form of such INFLEXIBILITY. The patient has DECREASED in Respect as the Services intended to conserve and enhanced citizen healthfulness have been relegated to Maintaining COST levels for per citizen assessments while the degree and number of disease conditions have multiplied. LOW levels of timeliness, accurate diagnosis, effective treatments ... and a refusal to expand MEDICAL Capabilities and Responsibilities while making such ILLEGAL when provided or offered by Independent healthcare ENHANCEMENT sources ... has continually amplified WAIT times for EASILY diagnosed chronic problems while amplifying the presence of UNDIAGNOSED chronic disabling conditions. These FAILINGS could have been addressed and minimized before they grew to such present numbers and such critical and fatal REALITIES. Other nations, particularly SMALLER ones, continue to demonstrate that such conditions can be resolved, minimized, and constructively coped with.
A FAILURE of EXPERTISE and workplace numbers is often GUARANTEED by ...
-
Irrelevant Attitudes.
Service to others is rarely effected by policies and persons whose ONLY focus is Cost REDUCTION, patient PROCESSING, and ritualized diagnostics and prescribing. NEVER consider the patient as a person; they are just a number in your daily quota.
-
Inappropriate and Minimized Awareness of Options.
Using machines and tests without the knowledge of their RANGE of options and the Benefits of each of those options leaves the construction worker with only one tool, a hammer! NEVER be open to considering, developing, or wanting more effective procedures.
-
Restricted Access which minimizes communication and rewards guesswork.
You have 10 minutes to see a concerned patient and make judgements WITHOUT a health history, WITHOUT an awareness of more than ONE symptom, and, WITHOUT the Responsibility to assist that patient to maintain, improve, or recover their health. ROUTINE and ASSUMPTIONS drive interactions. Everyone NEEDS an oil change, even if they got one last week. And then you are done with them. NEVER problem Solve; problem defer.
-
An absence of feedback, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, encouragement.
Just follow the regulations, checklist, and do the least necessary to release the patient.
NEVER take Joy in your work. Just the money and power.
-
Absentee Authority that decides YOUR future based on THEIR interpretation of YOUR efforts.
NEVER perform any customized, personalized, or innovative changes to procedures.
AUTHORITY dictates that CHANGE is WRONG, unless they mandate it.
-
Overload of Responsibilities beyond resources, long-term irrelevant policies, incompetent management.
You have the Responsibilities for patient outcome but NOT the Authority to request or use appropriate resources, devices, tests. Always act in DEFENSE of possible accusations of overspending, wasting time, becoming personally concerned about your patients. NEVER be professional.
WAIT TIMES are a Red Herring, a DISTRACTION .. to keep us FOLLOWING the RELIGION of Human AUTHORITY.
The system FAILS because it is morally Satanic. Don't TRUST, Listen to, or Respect the Guidance of God.
Pharaohs, kings, popes, priests, and ministers have INTERPRETED spiritually oriented texts written by Humans in rudimentary languages, to force members and citizens and taxpayers to FOLLOW their Leadership (and personal desires for wealth and power). Do as you are told .. and you will have a job, not be stolen from, not be beaten or murdered. Slaves Survive! Clergy, infected with disease, were sent to the Brazilian rainforest in the 1960s. The intention of their Superiors was to eradicate the aboriginals, steal their territory, and make money from the extraction of minerals and the ecology destroying influence of land clearance and crop and livestock transplantation. Just do your job the way we want you to and you will have Security. Otherwise, you are terminated, with prejudice!
As a political system, as a community, as self-directed and self-sufficient citizens we have exceeded the THRESHOLD at which Recovery is possible. We have allowed, rewarded, and maintained administrative, and service policies which have made a LACK of Empathy, LACK of Responsibility, LACK of Effectiveness, LACK of Identity Enhancement, and, LACK of longer-term cost Efficiency a RITUAL ... automated reactions, imprinted status quo values, and passive-dependency relationships. There is NO longer any believable potential for CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGE.
PLAN to Accept the ingrained Weaknesses and be PREPARED by Attitude, Choice, and Resources ... to Find and Follow RELEVANT services elsewhere when and if BEST.

It is reiterated in the recent interview of Dr. Brian Day that a few select persons in Canada are afforded timely and significant health care while most Canadians must wait weeks, months, even years .. for health assistance. These privileged persons include
persons inured on the job and covered by employer financed Worker's Compensation, judges, politicians, federal prisoners, Canadian armed forces, doctors, and sometimes, residents from other provinces. Supreme court judges are aware of and benefited from such privileges, yet, either choose NOT to review court challenges seeking healthcare universality or deny them.
Treatments including drugs following a diagnosis, ambulance services, dentistry and other health options are usually only available through private fee clinics. The original introduction of the Tommy Douglas healthcare universal system in the late 1960s invited individuals to use private services. This was left out. In order to reduce healthcare costs further, politicians, beginning in the early 1990s advocated REDUCING numbers of doctors and nurses, limiting the acceptance of immigrant doctors, and, NOT continuing to build new hospitals and renovating older ones. In 2020's, Canada ranks LAST in nations having numbers of doctors per population, and, in Wait times. Recognized MAXIMUM times for constructive intervention in service to assist recovery from diseases, injuries, and other health problems is routinely exceeded in most Canadian provinces and territories.
Major options for non-privileged Canadians to obtain health assistance include the following:
-
Do NOTHING and die, eventually, after slowly worsening to a more permanent and devastating condition and suffering pain and disability, unnecessary unemployment, loss of income, and loss of savings.
-
Move to or Visit another province after determining who could medically assist you there and would be willing to do so. Your own doctor or specialist will NOT likely mention ANY alternatives to you. You will still be required to pay for your travel and your residency while there as well as for any recovery nursing assistance.
-
TRAVEL to another country with dependable, accessible health service and be prepared to PAY $100,000 to $500,000.
--- You will need funds to pay for travel, housing, recovery care, drugs, and, surgeries required.
-
Become elected as a politician or appointed as a judge.
This will be unlikely unless you have already chosen and been graced with such a position.
-
Become a Federal convict by committing a federal crime such as murder, treason, terrorism, firearm dangers, trafficking, fraud, assault, sexual assault, theft, mischief, driving causing bodily harm, damage to property, theft, arson, and trespassing. The type of offence will have to be severe enough to result in imprisonment rather than a suspended or conditional (probation, fines, etc.) penalty. At first glance, murder or treason are the obvious options for longer-term imprisonment, and dependable serious healthcare .. although you may find others.
As a form of Federal conviction will leave you with a criminal record, and challenges to employment, you may choose a more drastic crime with more permanent housing, meals, medical, and security .. while accepting that you will lose your personal access to and involvement with friends, relatives, spouse, and children. If this is a direction you choose, commit the crime and then voluntarily surrender and admit to the crime for a speedy and safe incarceration.
You know that after over 3 decades of doing NOTHING to correct this situation of privilege and disregard affecting yourself, family and community, and with North American media increasingly ignoring anything not as dramatic as the murder of one or more provincial or federal supreme court justicies .. Canadian politicians will do nothing more than TALK and DROP rather than seriously consider the plight of MOST Canadians. Over 30,000 Canadians are estimated to have DIED during 2023 while waiting for surgeries and other treatments. Murder does not have to involve armaments nor be violent. You can help MILLIONS not just yourself.
I personally do NOT advocate the Choice of harming others, yet, a satanic sociopathic system of administration leaves this as one of the more dependable options when in a state of significant desperation.
Action: Determination of Prospective Claimants.
A Index
Finding claimants for most Class Action Suits is difficult.
Many are too ill and depressed to read newspapers and magazines.
Announcements or short news stories on the radio appear to be the best general mode of contact.
In this case, if one could obtain a list of Alberta health services patients that would be helpful for a mass mailing.
Best always is to find a way of segregating the group with a membership or other list. In this case, PUBLICITY by almost any means is the best general strategy.
It may be that an end statement can be added to one or more of the proposed advertorials inviting persons who believe that their health service support has been intentionally delayed, or, that a loved one or friend has died after a long and complicated illness condition which they expected could be addressed sooner and more aggressively. This form of advice can also be offered to healthcare journalists directly and during interviews.
How much is a reasonable financial penalty for the early loss of a life?
And as much or more, what is a fair penalty for having subjected a patient to needless disability, loss of income, frustrated relationships, loss of social life, endless pain and anxiety, and the uncertainty that attends an increasing possibility that one could die any day ... for months or years?
Money and compensation is only one part of a constructive settlement.
It would also be best to have the institutions and companies involved, and their personnel, vow to improve their services towards a point of showing some respect for their clients. Add to that the placement of a database monitoring person for each hospital or clinic and provide them with examples of comments and statements which are to be excluded from patient records because they are prejudicial, superstitious, immature, contradictory to test results, or simply uneducated.
As a suggestion, it may be found that there are 27,000 patients in the province of Alberta who have experienced degrees of the history demonstrated by the maltreatment of John R. Sennett. As those degrees of harm and negligence can range from minor to fatal and from periods of days to decades, a financial settlement could range from $250 to $250,000 per person ... for themselves directly or for their heirs.

Autopsy: The Medical Autopsy.
ATP Index
The medical autopsy is the most reliable and thorough means (according to AHS) after the death of a patient that a physician has to evaluate the validity of his/her clinical diagnosis on which care was delivered. There is virtually no dispute in the literature of its value in the assessment of the quality of care. Today (2010) the medical autopsy has been largely abandoned except in academic medical centers. Even in the latter setting, the number of autopsies has steadily declined (in accord with restrictions imposed on its use and its comprehensiveness by the political and bureaucratic authorities concerned) over the past 30–40 years. The autopsy is time intensive and expensive in the environment of ever increasing pressure to reduce medical costs on all fronts. ... The reasons to perform an autopsy remain as pertinent and relevant today as they did 50 to 100 years ago (yet continue to be constantly eroded by political forces).
It is generally regarded as unnecessary in this day and age of high resolution imaging, and the known specificity and sensitivity of laboratory studies (IF such were actually used).
(EXCEPT, as a REALITY check, high resolution scans are seldom done, and, laboratory tests are restricted in number to those supporting emergency organ failure, pathogenic immune dramatic attack, and disease conditions considered common in the local area.)
Currently (2010) in the United States, the autopsy rate is only 7% to 9% whereas in the mid-1960s it was approximately 25% to 35%, and even higher in the 1940s and 1950s when it was 50% of all hospital deaths.
(2010) There are three basic types of autopsies in terms of the extent of the examination.
A complete autopsy is anatomically unrestricted with the inclusion of all body cavities and the brain.
A limited autopsy generally excludes the brain.
A restricted autopsy is one that is confined to a specific body cavity (thorax only or brain only, as examples).
A needle-only autopsy is the ultimate minimalist examination in which tissues are sampled with a biopsy needle without opening the body cavities.
Autopsy: Benefits of and Errors Revealed.
ATP Index
Why request an autopsy when I know why my patient died and possibly open myself up to liability issues?
Despite the widely held notion that everything there is to know about the patient has been established before death, numerous studies in the literature have compared clinical diagnoses before death with the findings at autopsy. Two classification schemes have been devised to grade the disparity between the clinical diagnoses and the pathologic findings, within range from complete concordance to major discrepancies. One of the most comprehensive and recent studies utilized “53 distinct autopsy series over a 40-year period” identified in the literature by a Medline search; in this study, Skojania and associates found a major median error rate of 23.5%. They noted a decrease in the major error rate over time, but concluded that it “remains sufficiently high that encouraging ongoing use of the autopsy appears warranted.” ...
Some of the most interesting and challenging autopsy cases are those in which there was bewilderment about the nature of the underlying disease process. These patients are often characterized as having multisystem involvement, and all efforts during life failed to establish the diagnosis. In most cases, it is either a widely disseminated, predominantly microscopic malignancy (a small primary carcinoma of the lung, pancreas, or intestinal tract) or a systemic fungal or viral infection. ...
There are few reasons that an autopsy report can not be completed within 30 days of death, if not less, in most cases. If the brain is the focus of the case, it may take somewhat longer as it requires extra fixation prior to thorough gross examination.
There are numerous studies in the literature which have reviewed the concordance between the death certificate cause of death and the results of the autopsy. One of the more recent studies evaluated the accuracy of the death certificate in cases of autopsy-proven acute myocardial infarction. Ravakhah reported that almost 50% of death certificates missed the acute myocardial infarction (25 to 52 cases) as the cause of death, but asserted its presence in 36 cases of which nine had no evidence of an acute myocardial infarction; there was concordance between the death certificate and autopsy-proven myocardial infarction in only 27 (52%) of 52 cases. Similarly designed studies have evaluated other disease categories such as malignancy, pneumonia, aortic dissection, and aneurysms. Hoel and associates reported a consistent underestimation of cancer-related death by almost 20%. Hill and Anderson concluded that the “current state of death statistics in the United States would constitute a national embarrassment if it were not for the fact that the rest of the world seems to be similarly afflicted. ...
The argument can be made that the autopsy is the ultimate instrument to evaluate the quality of care. However, most institutions do not include the autopsy in the systematic assessment of quality assurance. The need for continued improvement in clinical diagnosis and management still exists in this era of increasingly sophisticated and expensive technology, yet there are still findings at autopsy whose presence was totally unsuspected during the clinical course of the patient. As we have discussed briefly above, these misperceptions of omission and commission make their way into death certificates and faulty national vital statistics. ...
Autopsy: Requested Autopsies & Influences.
ATP Index
Requested autopsies
... Family members may ask for an autopsy:
- When the reason for the death may be an unknown medical problem.
- If there are questions about a sudden death that appears to be from natural causes.
- If there are concerns about genetic problems that family members may also be at risk for.
- When the death occurs without warning during a medical or dental procedure.
- When the cause of death could affect legal matters.
- When the death occurs during experimental treatment.
An autopsy is (defined as) a thorough medical examination of a body after death.
It (is supposed to) checks for disease or injury that may be present.
Or it may be done to find out why or how a person has died.
The results of some tests from the autopsy may not be ready for several weeks.
That's why a final written report may take weeks or even months.
The doctor may talk to the family after the autopsy and then again after the final report is complete.
Several things can affect the autopsy and the results.
- It's best if an autopsy is done within several days of death. ...
- Skills of the pathologist can make a difference.
In complicated cases, the pathologist may need to consult experts with training in special areas.
Families may wish to talk with their doctor for help in finding a pathologist.
- An autopsy is done based on who asks for it and what information they want.
Samples may not be saved for special tests (such as genetic, toxicology, or paternity testing) unless they are requested before the autopsy.

There is NO option to indicate if the death was caused by medical malpractice or incompetence, misdiagnosis, drug reaction, or infection following a surgery. This protects hospitals and doctors from legal suits and ensures they will NOT learn from mistakes and will continue to make the same errors with other patients and cause unnecessary deaths.
-
persons requesting an autopsy are not aware that they may CHOOSE a medical examiner rather than accept an assigned one.
In this case ...
the Medical Examiner chosen must have or be willing to ..
- Record digital photos of each organ, and,
- Take biopsies of foot and lower leg bone & organs
---- for Forensic analysis or presence of organisms.
- Report ALL contributors to death, NOT only a major one.
- Aspergillosis, know thoroughly about and/or read the Monograph.
- Echinococcus multilocularis, know thoroughly about and/or read the Monograph.
- Small Intestine and Liver Cancers, know about external and internal-to-organ forms.
- Note any abnormalities, whether they could have been remedied, and how much they usually shorten life.
- Provide a written Report.
"In Canada, medical errors and hospital-acquired infections claim between 30,000 and 60,000 lives ANNUALLY (2016).
Thousands more are injured. Then there is the ocean of emotional harm that engulfs families when a loved one is lost to the kind of hospital mishap experts say is often preventable. ...
For one thing, many families just don't know that a medical error caused the death or serious injury of a loved one. Hospitals tend to be less than forthcoming in admitting responsibility when they think legal action might ensue or bad publicity will result. ...
... hospitals today (2016) are big business ...
Healthcare providers have armies of public relations handlers, lawyers and industry associations whose job it is to put the best spin on what hospitals are doing, especially with the mainstream media. ...
.. (patients contacting) The Centre for Patient Protection, commonly report a lack of interest on the part of the mainstream media, including healthcare journalists, when they have attempted to share their tragic experiences.
... in Canada, hospitals and governments are joined at the hip (due to the political CONTROL of funding).
If you criticize hospitals, you are taking on the government. ... Canadian provinces contribute as much as 100 percent of the cost of a doctor's liability insurance coverage ... this has helped to create the monolith that is known as the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA).
... the evasion, disrespect and hostility I encountered from hospital officials as I sought answers for what happened (to her mother in an Emergency Department) produced waves of emotional distress that lasted for years afterwards. ...
Deaths from medical mistakes occur one patient at a time.
Yet, taken together, they are the equivalent of a large city bus full of passengers crashing and killing everyone on board EVERY DAY of the YEAR."
IF you can UNDERSTAND the above, you can work WITH it to CHANGE it.
REACTING to it simply raises defensiveness, aggression, and, a panic AGAINST changing.
Public AWARENESS of the REALITY can, in the least, encourage them not to be SLAVES and VICTIMS to a LIFE sustaining SERVICE which they have been taught and imprinted to feel ENTITLED to, and, assume is PERFECT. How can it be Perfect? It is populated by humans, who have often been encouraged to have ATTITUDES of Authority and an expectation that ALL patients are uninformed, ignorant, and followers. These HUMANS, by a LACK of BALANCED training in which Respect for ALL life and an Openness to learning and skill and awareness IMPROVEMENT through Assertive Humility ... stumble ahead to CONFIDENTLY make judgements and decisions most often based upon hearsay, superstition, spurious associations, projections, prejudices, and, ignorance.
A LEGAL approach to health service incompetence would most constructively focus on the SYSTEM, and not on the individuals who are captured, being smothered, bribed to minimize any context of empathy or sincerity, and, to focus, in an always present threat of LOSS of income, occupation, stability, respect ... if they FAIL to support, excuse, and condone the POLICIES of politicians and bureaucratic clerks .. who have NEVER worked in a PERSONAL Living Support SERVICE for persons in need.

Autopsy quite literally means to “see for oneself.”
Academic Autopsies appear to have been a recent (2021 ?) adoption by the Alberta government, Medical Examiner's Department, and Alberta Health Services. Indeed, in my experience, most physicians, medical specialists, and legal authorities in Alberta profess a lack of awareness of its existence, availability, or dynamic. The term has been popularized more recently in very different contexts. Katie Powell remarks ..
Have you ever taught a concept and then realized it was dead on arrival?
Ever graded an assignment and realized, "Yep, I'll be reteaching THAT one tomorrow!"
When our students brutally murder an assignment, they can perform an Academic Autopsy to determine the cause of death and then make a treatment plan so that NEVER happens again!
What Ms. Powell is advocating is that when a procedure or policy fails in its execution, the failure could be eliminated from the process by using reflection, patience, feedback, and empathy to determine WHY the process failed, and, HOW it might be remodeled, restructured, rethought .. so as to deliver SUCCESS. In other words, connect with REALITY and scientifically uncover the Weaknesses ... and by so doing, replace those with Strengths.
As noted by Alison Krywanczyk, MD and Sharon Mount, MD
Perhaps the most important objective of a postmortem examination is to discover why a patient died, providing closure to both the deceased's family and the clinical team who cared for the patient. Family members have thanked our service, and we frequently receive acknowledgement from our clinical colleagues for assisting in complex cases that are discussed at departmental morbidity and mortality conferences.
Quality assurance is another important function of the autopsy.
Some will question the necessity of the autopsy given the plethora of information provided by the deceased's laboratory studies, imaging, and clinical examinations.
However, even in the current technologically advanced era, autopsies have been shown to disclose diagnostic errors in nearly 30% of cases. ...
The Academic Medicine and Health Services Program (AMHSP) ensures physicians affiliated with Alberta’s faculties of medicine are compensated for providing patient care along with their work related to research, innovation, education, administration and leadership.
The AMHSP replaced the Academic Alternative Relationship Plan (AARP) in July 2017.
AMHSP Council
The AMHSP Council brings together AMA physician leaders involved in the AMHSP to develop a common understanding of the needs and concerns of academic physicians. As a conduit between grass roots AMHSP physicians and the AMA, the Council includes elected representatives from each AMHSP Arrangement along with AMA representatives on the Provincial AMHSP Operations and Strategy Committees and an AMA-appointed representative from those groups considering entering the AMHSP.
Our ACTIONS betray our Awareness, Sincerity, Trustworthiness; Defensiveness, and, Paranoia.
In July 2022, an Alberta Medical Examiner informed me that the Family Requested Autopsy was no longer available.
It had been replaced by the Academic Autopsy, and, there would be No Charge for it. I now knew WHAT to Request.
Severely ill at the time, I hoped that physicians and other healthcare workers would be aware of the change and any new procedures.
I also expected that Alberta Health Services and the mass media outlets would provide resources and notifications to the public.
In September, 2023, still alive, I was having to make a few Significant adjustments to my Life Insurance policy.
It was a year old and I had just discovered that it had been finalized with an error .. the birthdate recorded was 1 year short.
Of course this could change the monthly premium or the Face Amount of the insurance as well as whether it would be honored.
The error could not have been mine in my application as I had submitted a copy of my accurate passport and birth certificate.
I worked with the insurance company, far longer than I expected would be required to select options and have the forms witnessed.
MANDATORY requirements of the NEW Family Requested Autopsy, as you will encounter below, was to have my Will mirror these changes & have it witnessed, and, for my physician or health records to also mirror these changes. I had earlier required details with my physician.
I checked on Internet SEARCH engines for ANYTHING on Academic Autopsies .. only to find research & common references exclusive to the USA.
I looked, at length, through the Alberta Health Services website for ANY information on the reported changes of more than a year previous.
NOTHING! I checked with the local Medical Examiner's office in Calgary for detail on the changes and possible modification of procedures.
I was told by a Medical Examiner that they were not ALLOWED to share ANY information about the new form of Autopsy with the public!
She also noted, for my benefit, that NO physician was also ALLOWED to share this information with their patients.
She had no awareness nor information as to WHO might be able to inform a patient (taxpayer) about such details.
I called 403-910-6199, Patient Concerns --- 403-910-4908, AHS PR --- 855-550-2555, Patient Feedback for info or referral.
No one seemed to know what an Academic Autopsy was. The lady at Patient Feedback volunteered to find someone and call back.
PEARL called me back with the 2 Alberta university departments (Calgary and Edmonton) that administered the Body Donation Program.
In preparation, I scoured the Body Donation Program (BDP) websites available for both universities to find NOTHING on Academic Autopsies.
Essentially, to qualify for the BDP, you had to be DEAD, have a PERFECT (healthy) body, and, NO tests would be done to determine fatality influences.
ANY Autopsy has a purpose of finding, testing, and confirming at least the suggestive CAUSE of death. An Academic one looks further.
I called JAIME, the BDP Administrator ... and she, as per below, actually was competent, informed, NOT confined, and most helpful.
The EXTENT of the Difficulties I encountered in finding out about Alberta Family Requested Academic Autopsies (FRAA) suggests:
- Alberta Medical Services (AMS) is focused on COST of Medical Services, NOT Quality.
- Patient, family member, executor, doctor, other ... cannot ask for what they do not know exists (SAVES money).
- Diseases misdiagnosed, not diagnosed, or becoming endemic will NEVER receive improved CARE.
- Physicians, specialists, and technicians will NEVER be held accountable for their errors and learn from them.
- Doctors who are sued by patients and their families are DEFENDED by provincial legal organizations & laws.
- Medical personnel will continue to be rewarded for ignorance, superstitions, and patient misery (SAVES money).
- The proportion of the population who have one or more Chronic forever illnesses will continue to grow.
- Trained and experienced healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, specialists) will go to OTHER countries!

She was very knowledgeable and helpful; a real Gem.
The autopsy in question was the Family Requested Autopsy
and now, since early 2022, is referenced as a Family Requested Academic Autopsy.
For southern Alberta (including Lethbridge), such an autopsy would be done at Foothills Medical Centre (Calgary).
An Alberta Precision Labs FORM would need to be submitted soon after the death .. to
The Vital Statistics and Admissions department .. 1-403-944-1689
A Will by the deceased would be beneficial; the form could be completed beforehand and signed after the death.
Part of the autopsy might be done at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute for the Brain Donation Bank (crainial tests).
From the Hotchkiss Brain Institute Website:

“Steps to follow after a patient's death:
1. Call Vital Stats at FMS (403-944-1689) at Foothills Medical Centre and notify them
that the family or next-of-kin request an autopsy. Vital Stats at FMS will arrange for the body
to be transported from the location in Calgary to the Foothills Medical Centre.
2. Complete the
Alberta Health Services Consent for Autopsy form (pages 2 and 3)
(https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/frm-20597.pdf)
with the next of kin (Autopsy Consent and Consultation Request (albertahealthservices.ca))
• In the "Consent for Autopsy" section check the first box
--- ‘I consent to bodily tissue and organs removed at autopsy being kept for future medical education and research’
under ‘Consent for Retention of Organs/Tissue for Education and Research’.
• On page 2, in the "Signatures" section the next of kin should sign under
--- ‘Authorized Representative’ and have a witness sign their name.
• Send the completed consent form with the body or fax the consent to
Vital Stats at FMS, 403-944-1689 --- Fax: 403-944-2683.
(https://www.servicealberta.ca/includes/768.cfm)
An autopsy is an examination of the body after death.
The autopsy is done by a pathologist: a medical doctor who is specially trained in this type of procedure.
An autopsy is done as soon as possible after death and takes about 2 to 4 hours to perform.
The autopsy may be done on the entire body, which is a complete autopsy, or it may be limited to one area of the body.
In a complete autopsy, samples of most organs are taken and are examined under a microscope to look for diseases such as cancer or infection.
Other diseases that run in families can also sometimes be diagnosed.
In a limited autopsy, the pathologist may only examine the organs specified at the time of consent.
This may answer certain specific questions, but may limit the identification of other diseases that might answer clinical questions or be of interest for family history.
In some cases, the law requires that an autopsy be performed.
When an autopsy is not required by law, consent must be obtained from the legally authorized representative of the deceased.
The main purpose of an autopsy is to answer questions the family or doctor(s) may have about the illness, the effects of treatment, cause
of death and/or other medical conditions. Knowing the cause of death can be a source of comfort to families. The information learned through an autopsy increases medical knowledge and may help others with similar conditions.
Usually there is no charge for autopsies on patients who died within the Calgary Zone.
The autopsy report is sent to the physician that requested the autopsy.
Family can request that a copy also be sent to the family physician who can discuss the autopsy findings with them
and possibly provide them with a copy of the Autopsy Report.

When a death occurs suddenly or it cannot be explained, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) conducts an investigation, under the authority of the
Fatality Inquiries Act.
The OCME investigates 20,000 deaths on average each year,
which includes a combined total of more than 4,000 autopsies and external exams.
The OCME performs an average of 4,000 post-mortem examinations – the physical review of deceased bodies – per year.
They investigate nearly 20,000 deceased people each year.
The OCME’s Medical Investigator Unit is available 24 hours a day, every day.
Medical investigators are often the first point of contact for the deceased’s relatives, friends and the deceased’s physician. These investigators interview them to determine if a death requires an investigation.
OCME investigates deaths to determine:
- identity of the deceased
- date and place of death
- medical reason for death (why it occurred)
- manner of death
2020 -- Resignation to maintain Integrity.
Dr. Elizabeth Brooks-Lim, the province’s chief medical examiner, has resigned just two weeks before her contract was set to expire. She is the 3rd person to hold the position in 5 years. Brooks-Lim took over the office in 2016 after her predecessor quit less than 18 months after he started. At the time of her appointment, there were high hopes she would bring stability to a department with a history of turmoil. In 2018, Brooks-Lim earned just over $400,000 for the year in pay and benefits.
Brooks-Lim came into the office at a time where the Fentanyl crisis was in full swing.
Her contract was set to terminate on Jan. 31 and it’s unknown whether her resignation is effective immediately.
There was also added pressure to turn death investigations around in a timely manner after the Supreme Court’s Jordan Decision that set caps on the amount of time an accused can await the start of their trial. If a delay is considered unreasonable, those cases can be stayed. The provincial ME’s office investigates 20,000 deaths on average each year, which includes a combined total of more than 4,000 autopsies and external exams.
Brooks-Lim originally from the United Kingdom, worked as a forensic pathologist and coroner in Saskatchewan before working as an assistant chief medical examiner in Calgary and Edmonton. She then became deputy chief medical examiner in Edmonton before being appointed to the top j0b.
Before Brooks-Lim and her predecessor, Dr. Anny Sauvageau held the position as chief medical examiner between July 2011 and June 2014. Sauvageau began working for the Alberta Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in 2010 before she was appointed as chief. In November 2014, the province announced it wasn’t renewing Sauvageau’s contract.
Dr. Graeme Dowling, who was chief medical examiner before Sauvageau, filled in on an interim basis as chief until Dr. Jeffery Gofton, an American, was hired in March 2015. However, Gofton quit less than 18 months after he started. He cited family reasons for his decision to resign and said he still had a home, friends and professional ties in his home state of Virginia. Gofton had a three-year contract. It was the second time Gofton had left his position as a chief medical examiner before the end of his term.
In 2008, Gofton resigned as Oklahoma’s chief medical examiner and at the time, said he was “criminalized and demonized” and forced out of the position. Brooks-Lim took over from Gofton in July 2016.
2022 -- Dr. Anny Sauvageau Reports Operational Crimes.
Dr. Anny Sauvageau began serving as the province's top forensic pathologist in mid-2011 and thought she would hold that position until she retired. In September 2014, Sauvageau was notified her contract would not be renewed in 2015. ... Sauvageau had authority over performing autopsies, working on cases, and determining the causes and manners of death ...
Her statement of claim in the wrongful dismissal trial alleges the Alberta government's decision not to renew her contract "was in direct retaliation and retribution" for issues she had raised about political interference with her office.
She is seeking, among other remedies, $7.6 million in damages for loss of income and benefits.
Sauvageau’s lawyer, Allan Garber ...
Alberta's former chief medical examiner has told a judge that her office uncovered problems with firearms seized at homicide scenes going missing, staff members allegedly taking drugs from evidence lockers, fabricated overtime claims and body movers stealing drugs and money from murder victims.
Sauvageau told the court she was aware when she took over the position of chief medical examiner from Dr. Graeme Dowling that the office was in "disarray."
"We knew there were some issues, but we didn't know the extent of these," Sauvageau said.
"I discovered these issues after I became chief."
'I don't know where these guns went'
Sauvageau said she was shocked to discover 3 department bank accounts that had not been disclosed to the government, so she requested an accounting.
The subsequent investigation uncovered issues with staff overtime costs.
Sauvageau said one employee had been invoicing for overtime when it was easy to prove he wasn't even in the office.
She also noticed that even though the Edmonton office was busier than Calgary's, the Calgary death investigator was claiming more overtime.
Sauvageau said she was also concerned when it was reported to her that a staff member saw another staff member going into the drug cabinet and self-medicating.
She discovered the drug log did not conform to rules set out by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons, so she worked in collaboration with the college to make the necessary changes.
Equally disturbing was discovering that many of the firearms stored at the Edmonton office had been received, but then had gone missing. She asked Edmonton police to investigate. Officers found that some had been given back to police, but a log had not been properly kept and shotguns and handguns seized from death scenes could not be accounted for.
"Missing firearms is not necessarily a trivial matter," she said.
"To this day, I don't know where these guns went."
Sauvageau was also determined to make dramatic changes with the body transportation system.
"Outside of Edmonton and Calgary, I became aware of problems including overcharging," Sauvageau testified.
She believed that according to legislation, a company contracted to pick up a body from a death scene, transport it to her office for autopsy, then return it to the death scene should be paid a flat fee of $300.
"Some were very creative," she said, telling the court the most "creative" billing she saw was the charging of $300 nine times for the transportation of one body.
"In the past under Graeme Dowling, the staff in records were told … to pay whatever the funeral homes were asking," she said.
As for fees, Sauvageau claims that under Dowling, the practice was to “pay whatever the funeral homes were asking” and that as a result, body transportation rates had risen as much as 260 per cent since 2005.
Sauvageau was also concerned no criminal record checks were being done before March 2014 on people employed to transport the bodies, which created potential problems for chain of custody and preservation of evidence.
"We had things that disappeared or went missing that had to be reported to police," Sauvageau testified.
"Once, cocaine and $2,000 went missing from a body. Sometimes a wallet or money was missing."
Sauvageau said her office also received complaints about the appearance of some body movers and the vehicles they used to transport the bodies. She recounted one incident reported to her by RCMP about a truck not fit to provide body transportation that hit the ditch a few kilometres away from the crime scene.
"The driver waved over a lady and said there's a murder in my truck,"
Sauvageau testified. "It scared the heck out of the lady who called the RCMP when she got to the next town."
Sauvageau also faced attacks from the Alberta Funeral Service Association (AFSA), which she claims was incensed over her attempts to standardize contracts for body transport. Sauvageau says she brought in new rules after complaints including that a funeral services provider had transported a body in a pickup truck, that staff had taken pictures of crimes scenes for “personal collections” and that one contractor had attended the scene in an “artistic skating costume.”
When Sauvageau helped to develop a new system to regulate a fixed body-transport fee and to establish prequalification guidelines, she said the Alberta Funeral Services Association rebelled and got the politicians involved.
The subsequent battle ultimately led to the non-renewal of her contract.
Sauvageau said her fraught relationship with Everett (Maryann Everett, the assistant deputy minister) included a July 17, 2014, meeting at the medical examiner’s office.
Sauvageau said Everett, accompanied by a human resources staffer, began to read from a script in an “extremely aggressive” tone, accusing her of being “disrespectful” toward colleagues in emails.
Everett allegedly told Sauvageau the chief medical examiner’s role was to make Justice Minister Jonathan Denis “look good” and that reopening the contract with funeral homes would “appease the AFSA” and shore up the “rural vote” in the upcoming provincial election.
As for the body transport contracts, Sauvageau claims Everett told her she was “thinking too much of the taxpayers.”
Sauvageau said that she and her husband would not have uprooted their lives to move from Quebec to Alberta so she could take a temporary job. She said that the chief medical examiner at the time, Dr. Graeme Dowling, had assured her that though she would have a 3-year contract, it was just a formality and she could keep working in the office for the rest of her career.
She said her pay was mostly based on a grid from the Alberta Medical Association, not the one for government employees, and that Dowling had called the contract, "that piece of paper that allows them to pay us more." ... Sauvageau said she asked Dowling if she should consult a lawyer about the contract but he advised her not to waste money on that. ... "When he said it was just a formality, I believed him," she said.
Sauvageau said she was hired as assistant chief medical examiner but she and Dowling discussed her moving up to deputy chief after a year and replacing him in the top job upon his retirement. That ended up happening sooner than planned, in June of 2011, after he stepped down following a mass resignation of Calgary medical examiners.
"He didn't have energy or resilience to rebuild the office," she told court.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Doreen Sulyma is presiding over the civil trial,
Sauvageau claims she brought her concerns last year to justice officials and Premier Jim Prentice. But Prentice told her he wouldn’t intervene because she had already filed a complaint with the Public Interest Commissioner, she says.
She also forwarded a list of complaints about funeral homes to the auditor general, she says.
That office couldn’t confirm if it is looking into the complaints, but a spokesman with the Public Interest Commissioner’s office said it has started an investigation. ...
Dr. Anny Sauvageau sued the Government of Alberta and 5 senior officials including ex-Progressive Conservative justice minister Jonathan Denis in February 2015, claiming the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) had been subjected to political interference.
Sauvageau’s initial $5-million claim alleged government meddling in the OCME’s body-viewing policies, death review procedures and contracting and staffing decisions. She claimed that her contract was not renewed in late 2014 “in direct retaliation and retribution for the concerns (she) raised about political interference.”
After years of legal back and forth, Sauvageau’s lawsuit was set to begin a civil trial before Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Doreen Sulyma Monday. Instead, the case was delayed due to an undisclosed COVID issue, Sauvageau’s lawyer confirmed. It will now begin April 1.
Sauvageau initially sought $5.15 million in lost wages and damages, upping the total to $7.5 million in 2017.
2019 -- Dr. Bamidele Adeagbo, Examiner demonstrates incompetence.
During the 2019 Stephan Trial, released court records paint a grim picture of the dysfunction that took place. Less than a month after being found not-guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life to his 18 month old son Ezekiel, David Stephan was calling for a full inquiry into all past autopsies performed by a former Alberta Medical Examiner, Dr. Bamidele Adeagbo. Perjuries, refusal to answer questions, angry rants and explosive outbursts were all things Court of Queen’s Bench, Justice Terry Clackson had to deal with during the 7 days of testimony of Dr. Bamidele Adeagbo.
Crown prosecutor Britta Kristensen
At one point during the trial when the topic of Ezekiel dying from hypoxic injury due to going over 8 minutes without oxygen in an ill equipped AHS ambulance, Dr. Adeagbo admitted to making a practice of excluding pertinent negatives from his autopsy reports .... The fact that Dr. Adeagbo left out pertinent medical facts from his report was compounded by the fact that he refused to answer questions repeatedly during trial. At one point Justice Clackson had to scold Dr. Adeagbo and compel an answer from him. This was a theme throughout the trial.
Dr. Adeagbo repeatedly claimed Ezekiel was dead well before arriving at the hospital.
This claim was shattered by a recorded 911 call where Ezekiel was recorded breathing while his parents discussed whether they should rush him into the hospital or wait for an ambulance. It was further discovered that Dr. Adeagbo struggled to read basic medical charts. In one instance Dr. Adeagbo based his findings off of a belief that medical staff were unable to resuscitate Ezekiel and that his state was much worse than it was. It was clear to everyone present that his assessment was miles away from reality.
The recent and baseless claims of Justice Terry Clackson acting in a racist fashion, appears to be nothing more than a desperate attempt by the establishment to control the Courts through defamatory actions, while deflecting responsibility away from the organizations they represent. Namely, the University of Calgary and their Alberta Children’s Hospital which originally incited the criminal prosecution on the Stephans at the same time that they were covering up the fact that their testing showed that Ezekiel did not have bacterial meningitis and that Ezekiel had actually died from oxygen deprivation in an ambulance.
In light of the deception and lack of credibility coming from both Alberta Health Services and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, David Stephan wonders, “how many people are walking free when they should be behind bars, and how many people are behind bars when they should be walking free? There needs to be an inquiry into the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, especially surrounding the autopsy findings of Dr. Adeagbo that have all too often become a topic of controversy”.

In 2011, An annual report revealed Alberta Health Services and the Department of Health Services faced 375 lawsuits, with potential liabilities surpassing $1-billion.
The Calgary Herald reported one lawsuit came after an 11-year-old girl was left blind and disabled after getting treatment for a breathing problem at Alberta Children’s Hospital. The family is suing the hospital, six doctors and a registered nurse for almost $1-million.
The report says there are a few large class-action suits not on the official list that could increase the liability by another $1-billion, if successful.
Feb. 2011 — Alberta Justice launches probe into eight autopsies handled by former Calgary forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Belenky for potential mistakes. It’s further revealed Belenky is a person of interest in a double murder investigation in Omaha, Nebraska, which has now focused on a former pathology resident in the ongoing trial. Shortly after the revelations, Belenky leaves the job.
Nov. 2012 — Alberta Justice completes its review into autopsies performed by Matshes, finding his conclusions were “unreasonable” in 13 of 14 cases examined. After the ruling, Alberta’s former assistant chief medical examiner, Dr. Sam Andrews, writes a scathing letter to then-justice minister Jonathan Denis, saying the province’s medical examiner’s system is “broken” and “undermining the justice system.”
Nov. 2013 — Justice Paul Jeffrey quashes the Justice department review that found Matshes made mistakes in more than a dozen cases, finding there were breaches of “procedural fairness.” A lawyer representing Alberta Justice concedes mistakes were made in the handling of the expert review.
Feb. 2015 — The province appoints Dr. Jeffery Gofton the new chief medical examiner, who returned to Alberta after stepping down as Oklahoma’s chief ME amid allegations of political interference.
Mar. 2015 — In a response to the province’s statement of defence to former chief medical examiner Sauvageau’s wrongful dismissal suit, she alleges autopsy reports can be altered without being logged and firearms went missing from the evidence room. Sauvageau claims she warned justice officials about the problem but was told to “keep it secret.” Alberta Justice denies the claim.
July 2016 — Alberta’s Auditor General Merwan Saher releases report finding Alberta Justice and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner botched its handling of contracts to transport bodies from rural communities.
Legal Claims: 2020 to 2021
AHS is subject to legal claims during its normal course of business.
AHS records a liability when the assessment of a claim indicates that a future event is likely to confirm that an asset had been impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the contingent loss can be reasonably estimated.
Accruals have been made in specific instances where it is likely that losses will be incurred based on a reasonable
estimate.
As at March 31, 2021, accruals have been recorded as part of the provision for unpaid claims and other liabilities.
Included in this accrual are claims in which AHS has been jointly named with the Minister. The accrual provided for these claims under the provision for unpaid claims represents AHS’ portion of the liability AHS has been named in 314 legal claims (2020 – 262 claims) related to conditions in existence at March 31, 2021 where the likelihood of the occurrence of a future event confirming a contingent loss is not reasonably determinable.
Of these, 258 claims have $728,811 in specified amounts and 56 have no specified amounts (2020 – 222 claims with
$498,678 of specified claims and 40 claims with no specified amounts).
The public (Albertans including patients) are almost totally unaware of the existence of ANY of these claims.

Defense attorneys could raise the question of whether there was negligence on the part of the patient by their taking too many pharmaceuticals or taking one's which compromised and clashed with each other, or, that they were continued to be taken AFTER significant danger symptoms were experienced. ALL of these objections and detractions from health services employees responsibilities are a denial of the monopolistic, authoritarian, and politically restricted access to pharmaceuticals in many or most provinces in Canada.
From my birth (1945) through to the late 1990s, I took no prescription drugs which required refills or reactivated uses. Unfortunately, I kept few records of these, and, at best, they would likely have been differing antibiotics given to treat periodic reoccurrences of tonsillitis. Much later, the health care system made efforts to caution patients and physicians that the overprescription of antibiotics would encourage mutations in disease causing organisms, and, that such were of NO benefit against viral diseases ... which the throat threats were then reconsidered to be.
During 1996, I experienced fatigue to such an extent that it became disabling.
I was also experiencing colon dysfunction and all the symptoms of colon cancer. A urologist performed a colonoscopy and proclaimed my system free of colon problems, yet had no diagnosis for the symptoms, and, the growing SEVERE fatigue. He referred me to a MEDICAL Team at Scarborough General Hospital in the province of Ontario who ran a number of tests and could not determine any diagnoses either. They referred me to the hospital psychiatrist .. who prescribed a newly trending antidepressant at the time, MANERIX (Moclobemide). He advised that it would likely take 3 weeks before I noticed any changes in symptoms. Two DAYS later, I found that my intestinal peristaltic action was working again. The symptoms of colon cancer ceased when I passed 6 white, rubbery, almond shaped, smooth cysts. The Fatigue eased and remained minimized as long as I took the MANERIX. The drug was NOT working to lessen EMOTIONAL depression but rather to lessen PHYSICAL depression. I attempted to convey this to the psychiatrist ... but as he knew all, he had no interest in how the drug he was prescribing actually worked, or, in the feedback from a mere patient.
As the months progressed, I gradually became aware of the existence, symptoms, and personal likelihood that I might have a HIGH toxic load of dental amalgam mercury poisoning. Urine testing, the only RELEVANT testing available to me at the time, proved this to be an actuality. I strove to detox the mercury and as it left, my energy, mental clarity, and intestinal peristaltic activity returned. I needed less and less of the Manerix until I was rarely taking it. I had one or two more prescriptions filled so as to be left with a reserve in case of future need. In the interim between then and now (2023) I have been free of the intestinal lack of peristaltic action (until 2016) and of what would become intestinal blockage through Aspergillus overgrowth (to the present 2023) for periods as long as a year. Obtaining prescriptions from doctors new to me (often because I had moved) became increasingly difficult. Most often, the likely 12 or more doctors who prescribed Manerix for me in the interim, prescribed on the confidence that there was a record of prescriptions by earlier doctors, and, I was still alive (so not likely abusing it).
MANERIX (Moclobemide), as best as I can determine from published research and physician attitudes and behaviors, was so misused in the USA that it has now become ILLEGAL in the USA, and quite restricted in Canadian provinces and territories. Automatically prescribed for presumed Emotional Depression, a use I NEVER found to ever be actually demonstrated, many of those using it took higher and higher doses in an effort to FORCE it to work ... only to end up with SIGNIFICANT side effects, including GREATER emotional depression and perhaps erroneously diagnosed suicide. I have ALWAYS discerned whether to take it and at what dose according to muscle testing (and especially Spiritual Guidance) with it ALWAYS being effective, within 10 to 90 MINUTES. Since 2015, that has always been to clear an Aspergillus (fungal) intestinal blockage which could not be moved with intestinal irrigation through the manual use of enemas. There have been times during which I have found it necessary to take HIGH doses of Manerix, continuously, for as long as 3 months. The most frequent utilization has been, for the past 3 years, a number of tablets for fungal blockages that occur without any pattern of duration, dosage, or frequency.
Initially, when I had moved from the province of Ontario to the province of British Columbia (2003), and had neither used nor had a prescription for Manerix for over 2 years, a copy of a former prescription was adequate for the local physician to justify a prescription. I ALWAYS offered copies of previous prescriptions to subsequent physicians to gain new ones, and, after 2005, I also offered a copy of the 2003 MEDICAL research findings supporting the use of Manerix as I had found it to be effective. Increasingly, perhaps as a REACTION to the media reports of doctors misprescribing drugs, the physicians I have had access to have checked a sanctioned (deemed OK by their institutional Authority) online reference which has stipulated MAXIMUM dosages lower than what I have found necessary WHEN I need it. Also, with Manerix largely becoming disused from misuse ... a paranoia has risen against prescribing it at all. NO alternative is known to exist for my use of PHYSICAL depression (through fungal intestinal blockage) .. a term which I have yet to find a physician understands.
During the late 1990's I found a MEDICAL article on the Internet concerning Manerix, from a supplier ... which openly and factually described both HOW it was made and what the INHERENT dangers might be. It detailed how a species of mice were bioengineered to produce the active ingredient in Manerix, then killed to harvest the drug. It also detailed how THAT species was susceptible to a VIRUS which could, and often did, contaminate doses and could NOT be removed during the early manufacturing. It was considered both a necessary risk, and, not dangerous to humans. I would much later learn that this VIRUS was the source of some of the significant Side Effects of the original Manerix production process .. an early dosage SEVERE HEADACHE. In the early 2000s, around 2005, a new production process was devised and licensed to new providers. It became a benefit for me near that time to use the older version of Manerix to access the VIRUS which could eradicate another more serious health problem ... so, I needed the EARLIER formulation. At that time, the earlier formulation was multiples greater in expense to the more recent and less costly one. With persistence I did acquire the earlier formulation, for this purpose and NOT the intestinal blockage or mercury countering benefits ... and it worked. Physicians had been informed of the illness problem. NONE, in my Canadian provincial health care experiences, had any awareness of or desire to investigate the problem ... so, again, I was on my own if I wanted health, together with God's mentoring through Spiritual Guidance.
Once again, and, by examples, most effective for pharmaceutical PROMOTIONS, the information detailing the origin and production of Manerix, from a pharmaceutical company, was REMOVED from the Internet ... never to be seen again. The public remain completely unaware that SOME (perhaps MANY) of their pharmaceuticals are sourced from bioengineered lab mice and other lifeforms ... which are killed to harvest the desired drugs. Nor are they aware of how many of their pharmaceuticals carry VIRUSES which are supposed to be harmless to humans, yet are endemic to their living sources. This Designed and Sanctioned DENIAL and Ignorance is spread throughout the medical and pharma industries such that pharmacists, physicians, surgeons, therapists, scientists, lab technicians, nurses, and others are completely oblivious to these realities and possibilities. That means that any INDIVIDUAL Self Directed, Informed, and Ignorant of the MEDICAL bureaucracy to raise the REALITY is asking to be considered as mentally compromised, and, have that added to their digital medical profile ... for most medical personnel to glance in the future.
In a reality of URGENCY and a timely and personally balanced and ever changing selection between product, food, and actions
to reduce and control life threatening symptoms ... one can miss the trees of BIG yet seldom required RENEWALS of pharmaceuticals while focusing on the forest of multiple and conflicting illnesses. This happened to me late in 2022 and early 2023. With no reasonable expectation of longer term survival, as in to the next day, I allowed my Manerix prescription to almost be depleted before arranging to see my local physician to have it renewed. As a failure to use a HIGH dose, when indicated as necessary could, and has almost resulted in several times earlier, an autotoxicity from clogged intestines, severe weakness and mental fog, coma, and death .. running out of a supply could be fatal. The reality that such requirements had not been a DAILY need for some months also contributed to a sense of "Look after the tigers at the gate and get to the quickly rising flood later". My then current Family Physician was moving away to another city at the beginning of December. Time was captured by my urgencies and I missed seeing her for a Manerix renewal by a few days. A new Family Physician, new to Canada, new to Alberta, new to Lethbridge replaced her. An URGENT appointment resulted in a further delay of ACCESS by 3 weeks.
In preparation to see the new (Alberta) physician and in hopes of preparing him for the urgent Manerix prescription refill, I prepared printed and organized copies of multiple PAGES of copies of past prescription labels for Manerix, covered by 3 doctors over just the recent 6 years. Records before that had been culled to reduce bulk for several residence moves since. I also included a copy of the 2003 Journal of Medical Microbiology article, Serotonin - Can Fight Fungus, by Stephen Pincock, from issue 52, pages 169 to 171. It specifically reviewed how SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) raised body serotonin levels and that serotonin was active AGAINST multiple forms of health endangering fungi. Even more particular in its text, the drug Manerix had been found to hinder the growth of Aspergillus fungi .. whose overgrowth HIGHLY contributed to the DEATH of colon and intestinal cancer patients by BLOCKING their intestines. Monies for research into these cancers had been targeted at the study of the cancers, because they were more spectacular for media articles to raise monies than for the Aspergillus that actually caused most of the deaths, could have been minimized, and could likely provide enough treatment time for most patients to RECOVER. THAT had been KNOWN for DECADES.
I had offered a copy of this article to numerous other doctors.
NONE had taken any interest in reading it or in its content, except, for one who did a 3 second scan of it. There was always a hope that SOME doctor would be professional enough to demonstrate a sincere INTEREST is MEDICAL findings which could ENHANCE health and save live. At my EARLIEST urgent appointment with the new doctor, on January 10, 2023, I found, to my dismay, that he had not read any of the materials which the clinic staff had copied specifically for him, and was even unaware of their existence. I left him another copy of the article together with a 13 page printed summary of other articles supporting the use of Manerix for non-psychiatric health benefits. I was to rebook for an appointment in a week or two. Yes, I had indicated the URGENT nature of the prescription. In communicating the nature of the urgency to the staff, the rebooking staffmember indicated that it could be 3 weeks before a next regular booking. On his suggestion, she would keep my request handy by her phone to slot in when and if a cancellation arose. It did arise, for January 18.
Alberta Health Services, and many provincial Health Services, have followed and been restricted in their policies by political ECONOMIC and reelection concerns for many DECADES. That has resulted in their appointment time with patients (both new, and returning) being limited to a length of 10 to 15 MINUTES. That allows NO time, past greeting, for any sharing of medical research, any health history, or any comprehensive outline of the symptoms of the current MEDICAL problem. Just enough time for them to GLANCE at the patient, hear ONE symptom, project a spurious, and usually incorrect diagnose, and dump a prescription .. with NO reference to possible side effects. For my January 18 appointment, without the above awareness, I would have been severely disappointed and possibly angered, to find that my newly available doctor had, for the SECOND time read NOTHING about Manerix and its life saving benefits for persons like myself. what I had learned from the responses of other recent YOUNG, and newly immigrated physicians, he was paranoid about prescribing anything beyond the most narrow and prejudiced reports of the use of any drug. His answer, with my having ONE dose left, was that he refer me to a psychiatrist .. who he expected would have the authority to prescribe it. I questioned the logic of this action as I had no psychiatric problems to report. Unknown to me until a few days later, he had changed the referral to a Gastroenterologist whom I had seen previously. While that SPECIALIST was TECHNICALLY proficient, they lacked any skill, in my experience, beyond superstitious reasoning, to diagnose.
Speaking to the clinic manager a few days later, to request the copy of the medical info back from the physician so as to have it at the ready for when I would see the referred to medical specialist, I learned more startling news. First, the information i had brought in and had been copied, literally, onto copy machine paper .. would have been transferred into my digital account in mid-December, and, had been saved as "Updated health history". She mused that was likely why my new-to-me physician had NOT reviewed such a GENERAL info file. Secondly, she could NOT ask the doctor for the info back (?), and, he would not likely forward same to the referred to specialist. As the clinic shredded ALL paperwork, the copies made of my originals for the doctor would have been digitally entered, as noted above, and the paper copies shredded. Clinic policy was to charge $1.00 per page for paper copies. I had provided the equivalent of 20 pages! Perhaps I could find a way elsewhere to reprint from my digital files?
As for timing, I had hoped to receive a call from the office of the Specialist regarding an appointment time within a few days, relevant for such an URGENT reality. The clinic manger noted that a call from that office to a patient within 2 WEEKS would be NORMAL, for ANY degree of urgency. After that, the placement of an appointment time would be in reference to the degree of urgency in the digital note from my general physician to the specialist. On reviewing that communication, the clinic manager relayed that my doctor had NOT indicated ANY context of urgency. That meant it would be ASSUMED to be of a General priority. From her experience with local Specialists, over many years, that translated as follows: A HIGH urgency request would gain a 3 MONTH distant appointment; a MODERATE (concerned) urgency request would yield an appointment in 6 MONTHS or longer; a GENERAL request would leap forward to an appointment in 12 MONTHS or longer. She indicated that the request placed would likely be interpreted to be a GENERAL request. Without MANERIX, if and when I needed it, I could be DEAD in DAYS!
Something seemingly radical had to be done; without the personal effort, I would be committing suicide.
Better I make the EFFORT and leave them to inherit second degree MURDER for forcing the death of a patient they had the resources to assist. I had, fortunately, had a special transportation service eligibility authorized a day earlier. My previous doctor, and prescriber, was located FAR away costing me $20.00 each way for taxi fare. With the special transportation, that cost would now be reduced to $3.00 each way. as my health viability for traveling, and most other activities could change within minutes and the special transportation service required at least a 24 hour request .. only time would confirm if I were able to take a booked trip. I called the previous doctor's office. I was able to book an appointment with him in 2 DAYS. I then booked the transportation. Two days later, I saw him, received a prescription for MANERIX within MINUTES, and had it filled minutes later at the in-building pharmacy, who were familiar with me. I required my LAST former prescription dose of Manerix that evening.
Clearly, by POLICY and PERFORMANCE, and ATTITUDE .. Alberta Health Services views the Ideal Patient as .. a DEAD Patient. Such a patient requires NO doctor's appointments, NO Specialist testing and consultations, NO prescription support, NO visits to an Emergency Department, NO hospital stays, NO ambulance demands, NO increases in statistics. Just GO AWAY and DIE!
Citizens are left to assume that their government is protecting them and that valid tests have been conducted to assure them that the drugs prescribed to them, available from any pharmacist, and readily promoted in the media are TOTALLY safe. We learn, often on an individual basis, that drugs CAN have severe and life threatening side effects, can and HAVE resulted in deformed babies, in miscarriages and stillbirths, and, can impose death. If we look carefully, we find that additives, supplements and drugs have been willingly accepted into our food and medical products in a desperate RUSH to enslave the public, WEAKEN their health, and ever COMPLICATE what could have been a simple resolution. Why were such drugs even allowed on the market, yet be sanctioned by our government, and, recommended by our doctors?

Prior to 2018, I had little requirement for or use of prescription drugs. Most of the few prescribed drugs I had used over my earlier life were prescribed antibiotics, some vaccines I had received in the 1960s (when I was considering traveling to nations outside North America), and an antibiotic for a special cocktail to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) in 2007. I had increasingly become a researcher and scientist through my adult years to effectively carry out my career duties and to prevent illness, recover from diseases, and, enhance my health. Most of these efforts focused on gaining an awareness of the ever widening market of health supplements, and, founding and using a spiritually enhanced homeopathic PTSD/behavioral addiction release protocol I named Balancing Therapy.
Near 2007 or before, a pharmacist provided me with what I thought was, and what he called, a drug monograph for a product I was getting. This opened an awareness for me to information on drugs .. which one would hope to be current and professional. NO other pharmacist since has offered me ANY printed or verbal information about any prescription drug I was buying. I have, in 99% of such instances specifically ASKED for a Monograph. Perhaps like many patients, I was, in the immediate term, more focused on healing and getting back to work than on the specifics of drug details. After all, the Canadian educational, social, and media VALUES imprinting institutions have persistently, uniformly, and, confidently conveyed the BELIEF that ALL medical doctors are so well trained and equipped that they NEVER make a mistake in their diagnoses and treatment options. That increasingly began to fall apart as I had more and more contact with physicians, emergency departments, hospitals, and the experiences of others.
In her late 1960s, my mother began to express suicidal depression feelings.
Her physician had gradually accumulated a prescription load for her of 8 drugs.
On the suggestion of a trusted friend and with my encouragement, she ceased using 7 of the 8 medications.
Within several weeks, her feelings of depression were replaced with optimism, and, she lived for another 20 years.
In 2004, my own pharma awakening shocked my consciousness when a physician prescribed an antibiotic for me in contradiction to my recent health history and troubling symptoms ... which he both ignored and minimized. An almost immediate LIFE THREATENING set of side effects, and, his persistent lack of concern about them ... had me stop taking the medication and seek assistance elsewhere. I had begun taking a drug, Manerix, in the mid-1990s that proved health enhancing for me in dramatic PHYSICAL ways. There appeared to be no replacement or substitute to consider, partially because I could not find a physician with an open mind willing to consider a REAL medical problem they were unfamiliar with. With ACCESS becoming increasingly difficult, and, with multiple symptoms challenging the question of what was a side effect and what was a disease symptom, I researched.
As I will indicate below, in an almost entire outline of my PRESCRIPTION History, a further, and almost terrifying experience happened to me in late 2018. I injured my lower back when I performed an awkward and forceful movement to move a large chair pad that had a heavy table on it, and, was spike resistant to movement on the carpet below it. Over a few days, my RIGHT LEG became more and more painful to move until I could place NO WEIGHT on it. That meant, mo walking, kneeling, or movement other than sliding along on the floor/carpet/stairs. ANY tension on the leg resulted in EXTREME pain ... and I had a HIGH degree of pain tolerance at the time. Off to the Emergency Department I went. It took a long while, more than 24 hours, for the SOURCE of the pain to be targeted as the base of my spine and NOT in my leg ... in spite of a series of medical scans and a lengthy interview. An Endural nerve block was eventually determined to be the best RECOVERY option, within seconds, by a physician (Hospitalist) skilled in Diagnosing.
After 24 hours of the Look-See-Prescribe approach by several doctors ... it had been presumed that what I needed was a combination of pharmaceutical drugs ... mainly for pain. Some were added, then others, then even more. Everyone seemed to have their own MAGIC fixes ... NONE of which seemed to work in the short term. That resulted in the battery of drugs below ... which were NEVER assessed by a physician as not to be used or relevant any longer. As I noted in my REPORT that I volunteered later, NO ONE had forewarned me of the side effects of ANY of the drugs. I received a Patient Drug Summary for each because I asked the Laboratory manager directly for them. It became distressing, to me, when I lost more than 24 hours of memory. It became of concern to the laboratory person when she found that I was sleeping all of the time for most of the week I was in the hospital awaiting the first Endural nerve block injection. It became another concern when on my departure from the hospital my LEFT FOOT would not function as if I had experienced a stroke.

ALL of the above were prescribed/administered at once together.
Throughout my adult years I have looked YOUNGER than I am .. no one checked my AGE, or, read the drug cautions.
Potential DEADLY results were noted for individual drugs. How dangerous would MULTIPLES of these kinds of drugs be?
There was NEVER ANY follow up regarding ANY of these drugs from the hospital, and, my physician seemed oblivious to them.
Preoccupied with dealing with SIGNIFICANT drug side effects, adapting to the use of 1 and then 2 canes, attending to my daily and restricted needs for meal preparation, hygiene, grocery shopping, laundry, and many other activities geared towards health recovery ... it would be some time BEFORE I intensively reviewed the drug summary sheets. Out of concern that the symptom might repeat, I requested and received a follow-on prescription for each of the drugs so that I would have an Emergency Backup supply. With the MANY Life Threatening symptoms I was experiencing, I discontinued use of each drug before the first prescription was consumed and have the full refill of each in storage, or, discarded.
This is HOW and WHY many Albertans, and patients in other provinces die or are disabled from REACTIVE drug prescribing geared to HOW FAST the patient can be MEDICATED, rather than to HOW BEST the patient can be diagnosed and treated EFFECTIVELY. Those who restrict health services budgets for POLITICAL reasons, support physician training that demands TECHNICAL regimentation rather than PERSONAL service, bribe media publishers to deny and discard journalism reports that criticize the health services institutions, and, reward physicians and other health services personnel for NOT extending their awareness of medical research findings, NOT reporting deficiencies in diagnostic equipment, and caring less and less about others ... are ALL Responsible for these outcomes. Alberta Health Service is the focal point which unites ALL of these contributors and policies.
Prescriptions: Responsibility.
P Index
Authority confers Responsibility.
When someone or some institution assumes the POWER of Authority, they are fundamentally declaring that they have their dependent's, slaves, or member's RIGHTS and WISHES as a prime consideration. They have also reviewed all of the options available to provide for or resolve the challenges and opportunities under the focus of their SERVICE. They have concluded with the benefit of their research, resources, and expertise .. that THEIR way is the ONLY way forward. In essence, AUTHORITY presents a MONOPOLY on decisionmaking about some action, response, negotiation, or values. In HUMAN practice, AUTHORITY often, and with size of membership, often, translates into an Assumption and Imposition of VALUES, a Denial of FEEDBACK, an AVOIDANCE of consideration of Alternatives, and, a use of POWER justified by Principles which are equally often hypocritical between declaration and application.
If a Government is going to provide Health Services to ALL of its citizens, with a legalized EXCLUSION of all other Choices and options ... it is Responsible to PROVIDE for all of the health needs and benefits which apply to its citizens in a fair, equal, and timely fashion. This becomes almost impossible if the CITIZENS cannot provide any feedback to modify the system of procedures in order to increase Benefits, decrease Costs, and, reduce inefficiencies. As the SYSTEM of imposed practices, values, and principles increases in IRRELEVANCY, more and more patients receive a decreased and delayed level of service, and, those tasked with service delivery (nurses, doctors, specialists, technicians, administrators) experience a WIDENING GAP between what they are Responsible for, and what they have the authority (and power of access) to deliver.
POLITICAL AUTHORITY has its limitations: Humans.
In my opinion, we have overpopulated the Earth. Our histories scream this in most everything we do as a species.
Politically, we cannot agree on anything unless we reduce the number of people in negotiation below a number of 80. Above that number, or even lower, those who say they are representing the much larger majority, slither into well demonstrated patterns of immaturity. Ultimately, Peace, Happiness, ENOUGH, Community ... depends upon Access to RESOURCES. We enter into constant conflicts, expanded in complexity depending upon the number of persons involved and the space they have Control over. Large numbers of people in a location inevitably find themselves WITHOUT access to certain desired resources. Trade develops by communities at different locations choosing to EXCHANGE Resources they have Surplus of for Resources they have an inadequacy of. Trade requires CURRENCY to minimize a Conflict of VALUES and SIMPLIFY exchanges. Once MONEY enters the social and personal dynamics it quickly is absorbed into the political and religious arenas. Eventually, POWER is bought through the influence of money being used to distort honesty, fairness, and justice into privilege, bribery, and, hypocrisy.
In order to COPE with an increasing population, finite resources, manipulation of power, and increasing RISKS to Authority, representatives, of any religious or political ideology, introduce MEANS that increase their DISSOCIATION from the PERSONAL interactions of their Investments in SERVICES, Products, and, Regulations. Politicians focus on money and budgets and LOSE association with those they represent, or even, with their species. They create corporations, foundations, trusts, bureaucracies, departments, services, algorithms ... and, BELIEVE that they have handed over THEIR Authority to these Artificial Intelligence ROBOTS (AI) who each only have ONE motivation: PROFIT. The politicians elude their Authority and decisions, and,their AI minimize SERVICES delivering the LEAST, to the LEAST, for the LEAST, for the benefit of the LEAST. This is why Health Services as a POLITICAL ABANDONED Authority in the Provinces of Canada has deteriorated at an increasing rate since 1984 ... and may NEVER recover. The LEADERS are no longer human and the only MOTIVATION they have is to continue to deceive and manipulate politicians, the media, and the citizens into feeding it RESOURCES: money to buy technology, energy, swirling endless debate.
This Class Action suit holds the Provincial Government RESPONSIBLE because their members gave away their AUTHORITY to SLAVES and enabled those slaves to become MASTERS of us all regarding our Health Care ... Survival, Lifestyle Balance, Employment and Economic security, Mental Stability.

Over-the-Counter drugs are regulated in Canada ... a drug application is reviewed by scientists in the Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) of Health Canada, and on occasion, by outside experts ... to assess the safety, efficacy and quality of a drug.
Pyribenzamine - Tripelennamine.
I was surprised to find this drug continuing to be sold OTC recently (2021).
I grew up on a mixed farm (cattle, crops, chickens, pigs, horses .. tractors, combines, harvesters, grain throwers ..) during the late 1940s and through the 1950s and early 1960s. There were no face masks for filtering dust and pollen at the time. One used a bandana (handkerchief folded in a triangle and draped over the nose and mouth). From early summer to late fall I spent many days nearly smothered in grain chaff, hay and straw dust, and pollen. These were HIGHLY concentrated by the use of motor operated conveyors which blew (with much dust/chaff) the grain into granary spaces in the barn, or hay and straw into haymows or straw mows (big piles) in the barn. Anyone who has sincerely researched allergies will know that the human immune system NORMALLY reacts to HIGH concentrations of air particles in an effort to keep one's airways clear .. sneezing, coughing, eyes and nose watering.
Dust allergies were growing with the use of motorized crop harvesting, threshing and processing.
Agriculture was converting from horses to tractors and from shovels to blowers and conveyors.
There were few antihistamines at the time. In my area, only Pyribenzamine was available. There would be few others until the 1970s. OTC drugs were assumed by everyone to have been affirmed by government regulators and ethical drug manufacturers to have been tested and proven safe. It was not until the mid-1990s that I discovered an early drug profile on the Internet, by the pharmaceutical industry on Pyribenzamine. It was then that I found out that a KNOWN side effect of the drug was a LOSS of SHORT-TERM MEMORY. I naively thought at the time that information posted on the Internet would remain available. When I tried to find the article 5 years later, and in the interim to today .. it had been removed. This removal of unattractive documents from the Internet has actually become a frequent occurrence when sales and reputation are in consideration. Below is an excerpt from an available document, although it is neither as "clean" as the original one that I had viewed.
"The most commonly reported adverse reactions to the combination of pentazocine and tripelennamine are nausea, vomiting, and
headache which are typical effects of large doses of pentazocine. Other undesired effects include convulsions, loss of consciousness, dysphoria (sweating), paranoia, disorientation and loss of short-term memory (Poklis and Whyatt, 1980)."
page 15 of 46
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (trade name Benadryl .. Nytol and Unisom as a sleeping pill) is an over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine, sedative and hypnotic. Like Pyribenzamine, it was also one of the early antihistamines developed in the early 1940s and on the market by the late 1940s. It continues to be known, in the literatures, as having a side effect of
LOSS of SHORT-TERM MEMORY. I hazard the suggestion that 99 percent of prescribers and users in 2022 are completely unaware of these side effects. No, it is NOT a sign of AGING; it is a sign of a significant drug Side Effect!
From my own experience, I lost my ability to RECALL information shortly after beginning to use the bitter blue tablets, Pyribenzamine. For an EFFECTIVE antihistamine benefit, so that I could do my daily work on the farm, and later on a road crew, it was necessary for me to take a HIGH dose, and to maintain it as continuously as the work was. From the early 1950s until early 2020, my recall was so absent that I could not memorize poems in public school, academic materials in high school, or scripts for school plays in the interim. From the mid-1950s to late 1960s, I tried every kind of memory enhancing learning device with NO benefit. I found it necessary to develop superlative Organizing, Indexing, Copying, Note Taking, and Filing skills to complete academic papers and exams, be able to readily reference and use information from training courses .. and generally get, keep, and advance in a number of careers.
SUDDENLY, in early 2020, my RECALL ability returned.
It revealed that longer-term MEMORY had NOT suffered.
I could then, and to this day, "remember" EVERYTHING that I had experienced, seen, read, or heard from age 8 and before. There are many potential rationalizations for the wiping away of the TOXIC drug effect. A long-term combination of the positive influences of Detoxification and Meditation are the likely contributors that took me over the threshold to a RECOVERY of short-term memory. Now (2022) I no longer need the many books, files of articles, and likely 1000 DVDs (originals and documentaries and movies recorded from the TV) as I remember ALL the plots, most of the scripts, research findings, and other details. In a contradictory fashion, I no longer have any use for or attraction to 99.9 percent of the recordings .. because they are IMMEDIATELY consciously available through RECALL. For my Basic Personality, that means, for the viewing of most of the digital copies, it is both boring and TIME wasteful .. because I already KNOW all of the details, and, the experience of viewing them.
Alberta Health Services, and most other provincial and state Health Services, have assumed the Responsibility of testing, documenting, and regulating the SAFETY of the pharmaceuticals that are sanctioned by them as ACCEPTABLE for the market. Executives and employees of regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies, in North America, have typically and frequently, toggled back and forth between the two associated areas of employment. Large salaries and remuneration benefits have often been involved in the Private employment pharmaceutical areas. From time to time, individual legal cases charging such "TRANSFER" employees with bribery or fraud have been acted on. Yet, it is quite likely, if one could cleanly research and accurately document the numbers of persons involved in the MARKET SUPPORT of the patient-taxpayer endangering decisions made that 99 percent of such employees REGULARLY lobby for and persuade and manipulate the regulations intended to PROTECT the public to become impotent in their application and enforcement.
In 1998 Dr. Shiv Chopra and two colleagues at Health Canada testified to the (Canadian) Senate that they were being pressured to approve drugs into the food supply without the legally required evidence of human safety. In 2004 the three scientists were fired simultaneously for 'insubordination'. Shiv Chopra died January 7, 2018 at the age of 84 after spending much of the previous three decades in the spotlight, targeted with slander and lies for having taken ACTION to protect the Canadian public, as had been his job. There are many instances of health enhancement practitioners being either targeted with false legal claims (by provincial Health Services), or, having left Canada to practice in more politically SAFE environments. I know personally of 6 PROFESSIONALS whom ALL of their patients HIGHLY respected, that this occurred to in the province of Ontario during the mid to late 1990s. Providing a SAFE pharmaceutical market for Canadians has NOT been a demonstrated priority for either Federal or Provincial regulatory agencies.
Health Canada states that it aims to provide responses to pharmaceutical innovators within 300 days of submitting a drug for review. However, for submissions filed between 2015 and 2019, only 33 percent received a response within that target time period. Fully 18 percent waited over a year, and almost 5 percent over two years. The average delay for a standard review was 335 days. Health Canada’s accelerated pathway for approval dubbed “conditional compliance” reduces its target timeline to 200 days, but its actual average delay was still 302 days, and only 8 percent of applicants received responses within the 200-day target. Unfortunately for Albertans, Alberta Health Services (AHS) can impose provincial restrictions on access to and co-pay status of drugs, WITHOUT patient feedback or concern. On 2021-07-13, I was informed of this by an Alberta Blue Cross agent in regard to a drug (Eliquis) which Alberta physicians had confidently and emphatically noted that if I stopped taking it, I would die, soon. AHS had recently changed the status of this drug essentially making it inaccessible for me. How many other Albertans have discovered that this can be the REALITY for them?
Personally, I have encountered instances in which pharmaceuticals KNOWN to provide significant MEDICAL benefits (Manerix) have been dramatically REDUCED in their availability, supplements KNOWN to be safe and effective anti-cancer agents (Limonene) being discriminated against in favor of more dangerous substances, and, substances being withheld from public acknowledgement of its HIGHLY demonstrated anti-cancer benefits (Alpha Lipoic Acid) for more than 30 YEARS because of the FEAR that its use would radically DECREASE the need for ineffective cancer treatments ($$), unnecessary surgeries ($$), and amplified pharmaceutical profits ($$).
Increasing the regulatory departments budgets, hiring more qualifies staff, and enabling an ENFORCEMENT of Relevant drug safety principles could greatly IMPROVE the Effectiveness of Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Prescriptions: Symptom Projection Quickies.
P Index
Time ALLOWED to Diagnose the MEDICAL problem of a patient is 15 minutes (2021) in Alberta, British Columbia and likely many other provinces. From more than 10 years previously, in the province of British Columbia, I overheard a physician advise a patient that if she wanted him to consider more than ONE symptom .. she would be best to book TWO appointments for the same day next time. He was only allowed by the health services regulations to consider ONE symptom at a time. She had traveled into the town of Penticton, a drive of 4 hours, to see him. At the local hospital in another month, I arrived for a medical scan. A group of 3 elderly persons were at the desk in a highly irate emotional state. The wife had been brought to the hospital for a medical test by her husband and friend. They had set aside the day for the activity as it was a 4 hour drive or longer from their home. AFTER arriving, they were informed that the appointment had been cancelled and the woman would have to reschedule. A day lost in 2014. No one had called them. They could not wait for a later time likely in a following day. Many ailments are embraced by multiple symptoms. A headache is a common symptom that can indicate any ONE of 16 or more very different conditions. Prescribe the wrong medicine, and the patient can die from it. And, patients DO die from such errors.
The 15 minute (or LESS mandate) interview applies to ALL patient interviews.
That includes the many patients which the physician has NEVER seen previously as well as many more .. all of which they have no awareness of the medical history of. I went to a medical clinic in Oliver, British Columbia with a scalp irritation. The physician listened for 2 minutes to me, glanced at my scalp, and reflected that he had treated a similar condition with an 8-year-old boy the previous week ... with an antibiotic. Antibiotics are fungal based medicines intended to work against bacterial infections. I strongly advised the doctor that I had recently recovered from a SYSTEMIC Candida Albicans fungal disease and that an antibiotic might not be the safest option. He wrote out the prescription as if I had said nothing. I filled the prescription. Within 12 HOURS, I had an increasingly itchy thick white smooth substance covering my mucous membranes. I called the clinic and requested that the physician call me back about a serious problem with the medication.
The physician NEVER called back, not the next day, the day after, or ever.
His receptionist returned my 3rd call and conveyed that the doctor's advice was to continue taking the antibiotic and come and see him on the Thursday. I had started the medication on the Monday previous. With the dramatic explosive eruption of the ITCHY and THICK white covering I chose to suspend the medication before 24 hours. A powerful medication had been prescribed for a Significant MEDICAL problem with no lab tests, no close inspection, no consideration of medical history, no notation of affiliated symptoms, no sincere interest in providing a RELEVANT diagnosis, and no follow-up nor interest in what might have been a life threatening reaction. In 2016, it was estimated that 30,000 to 60,000 Canadians were DYING every YEAR from medical errors .. many of which were prescription complications .. in which patients OBEYED their physician's AUTHORITY against what some would consider Common Sense. It was not the first experience for me to receive what would perform like a fatal drug, and it would not be the last.
After moving to Alberta in mid-2017, I had occasion to go to the local Emergency Department several times over the following years. On one occasion, to find a diagnosis for and an effective treatment for an INTENSE Red rash and ITCH of my inner upper thighs (pelvic lymph area) and patches on my arms .. the ER doctor listened for 1 MINUTE, took a GLANCE at the redness ... and said he was going to prescribe a week of HIGH dose Prednisone. I was to see my family physician about refills. I paused in confusion and queried about running tests or consulting others. His response was ... "use the prescription or go home with nothing." When I did see my family physician, she was SHOCKED that the ER doctor had prescribed Prednisone, especially as an ongoing treatment for someone with CHRONIC health problems and over the AGE of 70.
MEDICALLY, her solution was not much better as she insisted that I begin a ROUTINE series of medications in place of any tests. I had experienced both significant fungal and bacterial diseases previously and was familiar with their usual appearance and odor. I had also topically applied residual antifungals and antibacterials from earlier problems. They had been irrelevant, as had the Prednisone been. I noted to her that this ailment was neither fungal nor bacterial, from my experience. Her first REGULATED diagnosis by seconds and a starting position on an AHS SANCTIONED schedule of medications was .. an antifungal. I filled the prescription and used it for 3 days .. with NO benefit. With Spiritual Guidance, I found a combination of supplements and herbal creams that proved effective in 24 HOURS, cost less than the prescriptions, and were more easily available. That REMEDY would have never been found in any medical journal, diagnostic manual, online disease treatment site, nor, by way of any somewhat educated rationalization. Most patients have neither the option of Muscle testing or Spiritual Guidance, awareness, nor skill, and, do not have that degree of Self Direction. More deaths?
WHAT DOES IT TAKE!
How long does it take an Albertan doctor to make a novel diagnosis for a stranger? Less than 15 minutes.
What level of ACCURACY are the diagnoses made by Alberta physicians? NO record is kept or available to patients.
Does an AVOIDANCE of tests and surgeries improve the expertise of physicians? NO, it makes them more superstitious.
Would a health history raise the relevancy of diagnoses and treatments? It does elsewhere.
How do Alberta doctors learn from their diagnostic and prescribing errors? They don't.
Are all Alberta doctor's incompetent? NO, just most of them, as rewarded by the system.
How can Alberta and other provinces REDUCE their health service budgets? Provide QUALITY, EFFECTIVE services.
If you have a complex MEDICAL problem what are you BEST to do? Leave North America to find competent health service.

The PERSONAL health Profile shared here is not likely one repeated often by other Albertans.
Many individuals who experienced even one of some of these MEDICAL problems have either continued their lives needlessly DISABLED ... and with limited or no government income support, become increasingly destitute and depressed and committed suicide, slide into one or multiple prescribed addictions. This direction could, and has for too many, lead to abusive behaviors, emotionally destroyed others near them, enacted violent crimes, and, have injured or killed or been killed themselves, dying after a long experience of both chronic and acute illness. They have one element in common. They have been SILENT in the community. Totally occupied with just attending to their symptoms, avoiding trigger substances (if they are even aware of what they are ... some have DELAYED influences), gaining a poverty level of income, grieving the often historical professional level of employment, and, seeking to suppress or forget the traumas which have IMPOSED these REACTIONS on them.
With the INCREASING domination allowed by provincial and federal governments, and, spurred forward by the commercial interests grasping for ever larger and profitable markets ... our foods, air, water, clothing, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and supplements are laced with toxins (mineral, chemical, biological) that complicate, sabotage, and frustrate our efforts at and desires for health. It never had to be this way. But, that alternative would have required LEADERSHIP at ALL levels of human organization. We are 60 YEARS past that tipping point.

LINK 3: The Hidden Monopolies That Raise Drug Prices
How pharmacy benefit managers morphed from processors to predators.
https://prospect.org/health/hidden-monopolies-raise-drug-prices/
by David Dayen
March 28, 2017
The word "Monopoly" is usually applied to a Corporation, controlled by one or several partners, who have received, negotiated, taken, or been sanctioned to be the sole provider to the market of a product, service, or technology. Persons referred to as "Tyrants" or "Dictators" often form, force, or choose to motivate, coordinate, and lead a population to maintain or increase a sense of safety, hope, and, focus desperation during times of political uncertainty and/or disappointment. Current individual efforts or moderate leadership appear to be inadequate, failing, or making considerations too complex for participant decision-making. There is a historical pattern of political development which, if not broken by social failures due to climate change, foreign intrusion, or civil unrest .. begin with king or queen ruler who demonstrate perceived incompetence or egotistical wastefulness. Followers/members/citizens choose an Aggressive and Charismatic leader to correct this, often from a military post. If successful, the practice of their Authority may expand to draw into a Republic the partnership of neighboring regions and their leadership.
In the historical beginning of this form of political authority, the person was referred to as a "Tyrant" which was originally perceived to be a POSITIVE reference regarding an Intense and Enthusiastic person who sincerely sought the best opportunities and choices that would benefit ALL of their members. Unfortunately, in a large and expanding population, with opportunities for raising and accumulating large quantities of money in a currency dominated economy, initial intended short-term personal borrowing by a tyrant degraded into larger and larger diversions of the public funds to the benefit of oneself ... and this would DECREASE the benefits for the population ... so, many of the popular definitions of "tyrant" or "dictator" today suggest that ALL such persons are those of the often later transformation: cruel, harsh, unjust, oppressive, abusive, authoritarian. These are adjectives originally employed by a minority of participants who were so treated, yet which expanded to eventually include a majority of those influenced.
Globally, until 1920, the provision of MEDICAL and health service to individuals was largely on an individual basis from practitioners who charged fees and were judged according to the successful outcomes of their experience and skill. This left the QUALITY of service to be quite variable from one region to another. In addition, access to such services was highly dependent upon the choice of location by each individual practitioner and their perception of the market adequacy of a territory. Too many similar practitioners could create competition, irregularities, slanders, and challenged incomes. As politically defined territories grew and borders were recognized widely by other political structures, states, provinces, and nations formed and began to imprint their residents with a tribal IDENTITY. To reinforce this selective and prestigious identity, political BENEFITS in the form of Rights and Services increasingly became marketing tactics to both increase the immigration of new settlers (taxpayers) and retain the colonial pioneers (taxpayers). Governing bodies formed to provide legal, economic, ownership, and taxation stability and consistency. To PROTECT the inhabitants, restrictions and regulations were placed on healthcare organizations and on the practices of physicians, surgeons, and other specialists.
Throughout the 1990 to 2012 era, business philosophies increasingly focused on a CENTRALIZATION of Operations, a QUANTITY emphasis on Production, and, a HARMONIZATION of the attitudes, beliefs, motivations, training, and, wages of a corporate culture. Greatest achieved EFFICIENCY was directly associated with PROFITS. Since the beginning of mass production for a mass politicized population, by 1812, monopolization of markets was recognized as guarantees of financial success. Product and service founders are often obsessed with removing problems and difficulties and replacing them with solutions. Attempting to bring their discoveries and innovations to a market large enough and stable enough to enable both an ECONOMICAL cost to the consumer, and, an ATTRACTIVE Profit to the founder has often been a personal challenge that threatened personal bankruptcy. Founders often used all of their Personal funds to create and perfect a product or service. Then, investors, taking most of the profits, would participate only with the focus of acquiring the highest Profit with little regard for Quality or Safety. A frequent pattern has been for frustrated founders to develop a Monopoly ...
Standard Oil forced small competitors to sell their businesses to them, or close .. through threat, sabotage, physical violence, murder, and partnership agreements which minimized the authority of the previous small operation owners. Monopolization DID enable them to economically build pipelines which spanned long distances, and DID allow them to set synchronized pricing of their products over long distances. If you own the pipeline, you can decide who is supplied from it .. those who will sign contracts with you or sell their operations to you. If, as a driver of a vehicle, you only have access to fuel suppliers who each charge the same amount for the fuel you need .. you have no benefit in looking for competitors with lower pricing or better service. There are NONE.
Microsoft used deceptive advertising to promote software which was lacking in testing and error correction, purchased competitors who had higher Quality products and then closed those companies and discontinued their products, manipulated the market by promoting their products as better than the competition with statistics which had no basis in reality, blamed their customers for errors in their products which could have been corrected with better pre-market testing, and, uses Identity theft AI (Artificial Intelligence) to control the Choices of their customers through selective redirection.
Amazon has used a production model such that agents make products available at a wholesale price, pay for warehousing and advertising controlled by Amazon, reduce sales contact to technically driven website detail, lower employee expense to lowest wage and benefits by concentrating on mechanized assembly line order fillers, and, taking owner-shareholder earnings through NO PROFIT share manipulation strategies. Owners and investors profit through sophisticated market manipulation which is structured in ways to avoid legal transparency and regulation.
American Hospital monopolies are a more recent REACTION to the USA Federal government making LEGAL efforts to LOWER healthcare costs for the American taxpayer. My building hospital conglomerates by collectively uniting numbers of hospitals, and then using that purchasing power to dictate access to LOW Quality suppliers, and, HIDE task charging rates from patients ... insurance premiums AND patient billings INCREASED. Those tactics DEFEATED the WILL of the taxpayer-patient AND the taxpayers LEGAL representatives.
There are many other HUGE Corporations and Conglomerates and their founders who have constructed monopolies with the PROMOTIONAL and original intent of making benefits for their customers, while skillfully eluding legal regulations, twisting moral considerations, and, bribing law-makers (politicians and judges) to ALLOW the repeal of restrictive operations regulations designed to limit environmental pollution, enhance worker safety and benefits, provide a livable minimum wage, protest without job termination, and equally follow securities regulations intended to protect the consumer from scams. The associated market dynamics involved in all of the above, and most other monopolies, includes the impoverishment of workers and their families by a reduction in job skills and employment opportunities, a stifling of enterprise innovation by the bankruptcy of THOUSANDS of otherwise viable small businesses, the increasing and endemic bribery of those with economic, legal, and social authority by virtue of their POWER and their willingness to act with sociopathic attitudes.
Forces to REVERSE the intentional POLITICAL trend towards Quality in Service and Pricing/Cost for the citizen, have been active for many DECADES. Their mega financial support, unlimited by corrupted laws and regulations, guarantees their success in support of Fascist Elitism and against Democracy. The low and moderate income economic participants would have to be willing to educate themselves about the dangers to their FREEDOM and to unite and pay significant membership fees to enable advertising mega-budgets, and lobbying (bribing) mega-budgets to REGAIN the PROTECTIONS they had, or build new bastions against attack ads and the many bribery tactics (of influence) which have been employed previously.
The Alberta Health Services organization is a MONOPOLY.
It has integrated a wide number of MEDICAL and health services, spread over a wide area and diverse population patient resource, by providing a singular set of working principles, budgetary policies, denial of related and private services, and, focusing on EFFICIENCY to the exclusion of QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS, long-term COST SAVINGS, ENHANCED Population Health levels, and, Patient oriented PARTNERSHIPS. Private MEDICAL services to diminish most current MEDICAL deficiencies for all Albertans is DENIED by the Tyrant. Variable appointment times relative to the complexity and duration of patient illness is AGAINST Policy. RESPECT for the awareness, concerns, abilities, and torturous symptoms that are remedial is crushed with Authority.

In my personal exposure, observations and research I have CONSISTENTLY found that LEGAL efforts at prosecution AND defence have FAILED in cases in which the lawyers involved ASSUMED an INTELLECTUAL approach to their work with an ASSUMPTION that a Rationalized dialectic would win the court (judge or jury) to their ARGUMENT if their wits of conviction, intensity, endless detail, deception, manipulation, and, demonstration of power bettered those of their opposition: a GAME between lawyers. They FAILED their client because they .. did NOT confirm the legal Regulations and Facts, did NOT listen to the quiet emotional relevancies of the witnesses including their client, and, did NOT Identify with the REALITY of the work-social-political environment in which the ACCUSED was interacting.
Our legal system is set up as a battle.
It is NOT, as it is widely imprinted and impressed upon us from our education, media, and politicians, a SEARCH for Justice, a DEFENCE of the Innocent, and, an atonement acknowledged by a SENTENCE of restriction, penalty, exclusion, and/or pain. I was in a traffic accident decades ago, on a Canadian highway, in daylight, and in good weather. An oncoming driver chose to make a left turn into the front driver's corner of my car as I was passing through an intersection at the posted highway speed, 60 mph. The road had minimal traffic, was located in the middle of the countryside, the speed limit was 60 mph. The impact wrote off my nearly new car, my left elbow crashed through the windshield, and, I awoke several days later in a hospital from a coma with retrograde amnesia. Any memory I had from 3 hours BEFORE the accident until after I awoke in the hospital would NEVER become part of my mental experiences.
Traffic accidents were open to litigation against whomever was judged to have caused the accident, and, the insurance of the guilty was liable for any damages assessed by a civil suit court. With low traffic and good weather, the police involved found it easy to document how the crash had happened and who was at fault. I lived in a small town. I retained the best and almost only local lawyer suited to such a case. I had sustained a SEVERE whiplash injury, gouges to my left forearm from the broken windshield, would have to replace my car, and, had to be off work for some time. A DISCOVERY is a questioning of a witness before a trial by an adversarial lawyer who seeks to determine if the facts support agreeing to a settlement BEFORE a trial, or, if there are enough variances in testimonies to possibly win them a lower than requested settlement, or even to abandon the suit.
The DISCOVERY of both myself and my wife (an uninjured passenger, subjected to emotional shock) was conducted by a lawyer representing the insurance company of the adversarial driver. We received NO preparation from our lawyer for what would be an alarming experience. The lawyer questioning each of us individually was HIGHLY aggressive, bullying, disrespectful, and even vindictive towards each of us. Our lawyer was present, yet sat meekly by throughout. In the conclusion, many months of delays later, I settled out-of-court for a fraction of what our lawyer had initially and confidently indicated I SHOULD receive ... so that my wife would not have a nervous breakdown .. she had felt violated and terrified by the adversarial lawyer.
AFTER the settlement, our lawyer sheepishly admitted that he had not believed that my injuries had been as bad as the MEDICAL records and my own daily written accounts had indicated. It seemed as if we had been scammed by a lawyer who was not to take the case if he did not believe us and the evidence. The fiance of a best friend of my wife was in training (articling) to become a lawyer. He confided to us that in the (Legal) industry, lawyers facing a conflict against a much more powerful attorney representing a much larger and reputed employer ... would seldom take an aggressive, or even assertive role against their adversary in court or in any legal proceedings. There would be future occasions in which the two would find themselves representing adversaries. If the junior or less powerful lawyer WON any case, with clarity and a FULL settlement against the more experienced and presumed more gifted and much higher paid lawyer ... there would be future encounters in which the LOSER this time would BURY, with prejudice, their nemesis in that next encounter. In my friend's INSIDE opinion, my lawyer had held off any SERIOUS offense for this personal, and industry rampant dynamic.
Often, TRUTH and JUSTICE are abandoned in both the Canadian and American systems of LAW in exchange for a negotiation of how much PAIN the perceived WEAKER attorney will accept now, rather than be Tortured out of the profession in later trials. In THIS Class Action Suit, the focus is to be on lodging forms and statements in support of a PROVINCIAL suit, and then advertising widely, details about the suit so that the Politicians, Public, Technicians, Physicians, Specialists, Media, and the Public can acquire, appreciate, and adjust their expectations and plans in accord with the REALITY rather than with the Dramatic Fantasies they have been brainwashed with.

The Amalgam class action suit in Canada.
"On February 17, 1997, Canadians for Mercury Relief (CFMR) in Toronto and Alliance For Public Accountability (AFPA) in Ottawa ... announced a possible class action suit against dental amalgam (manufacturers) in Canada ... purpose of the lawsuit is to educate Canadians and dentists alike ...
Toronto firm Parocan, Raphael, Courey, Cohen and Houston retained ..."
".. suit based on the fact that Health Canada failed to inform the citizens of Canada of the results of its own internal studies questioning the safety of mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings."
I was intimately aware of and involved with the dental mercury toxicity issue of the time.
Many of my close associates of the time were suffering with (coping was rare) Environmental Hypersensitivities.
I had researched and innovated and had found an avenue to recover from my Hypersensitivities only to find that I had HIGH levels of MERCURY poisoning with the symptoms and lab tests to confirm. I was fortunate to have chosen to attend a university in the late 1970s and early 1980s and had chosen a Political Science course that focused on Canada. One small, yet later to be critical piece of information, was that the Canadian Constitution had been founded in and carried by the British North American Act. The ACT stipulated that, as a federation of provinces, each province would have FULL responsibility for the organization, provision, and financing of a HEALTH Service for their citizens.
In the Class Action suit mentioned above, the lawyers involved launched a suit against the FEDERAL government.
It would take them a YEAR of research, planning, filings, motions, expenses ... before they realized that, in Canada, the FEDERAL government has NO AUTHORITY or responsibility over the healthcare policies enacted for ANY Canadian. It all existed in the hands of EACH provincial government, and still does. The legal firm had filed the suit against the WRONG organization. ALL of their work and expenses were for nothing! The suit, which would have been more constructive, in their situation, to have been filed against the Province of Ontario was a bust. They had demonstrated their Ignorance, Pride, and Incompetence, spent great amounts of effort and finances, and, had gone NOWHERE and had no Resources left for a VALID suit. Few of the public ever heard about the suit or its research or claims. The knowledge, awareness, and wisdom of all the potential parties remained unmoved ... to this day!
Where there are laws and regulations governing WHO is Responsible for WHAT ... it can become a reality that a person who believes they have been wronged lodges a suit for damages against their supposed adversary. During the preparations for the court hearing, documents may be disputed for their error in stating a suit against a person or persons, who, legally, do not have RESPONSIBILITY or even AUTHORITY over Why and What happened. In such cases, eventually, the case is thrown out, investment in legal services is lost, and, the wronged or injured person or persons leaves the legal machinations behind ... without a CLEAR understanding what and why the outcome was reached. That encourages those wronged or injured to NEVER trust the legal system nor lawyers ever again. In some situations, the INJURED .. who has LOST, adopts a sociopathic belief: Criminals win and profit if they can manipulate the law.
I have known a number of individuals who acquired this belief, and put it into ACTION.
A fellow who with his wife built a fast food franchise over 20 years in California was bankrupted when a supplier could not deliver critical products for the franchise operation. As was the practice of the time, the order had been prepaid by the franchisee. With no supplies, the franchise owner could not prepare and sell their foods, Bills could not be paid from no income, so, the franchise owner family went bankrupt .. even to losing their residence. They took the supplier to court and were granted a LEGAL settlement. The supplier declared bankruptcy and could not pay one cent of the settlement. For the franchisee owners, the LAW was a gimmick that made lawyers rich and encouraged people to take advantage of others. JUSTICE was NOT, in their REALITY fair or just ... it made a mockery of their investment risk, personal sacrifices and efforts for 20 years, and,disgraced them amongst family and friends who either did not know or did not understand the particulars. The government had ALLOWED a faulty commerce procedure to endanger small business owners.
The franchisee was now susceptible to being drawn into a potentially fraudulent enterprise.
An associate came to him with a Get-Rich plan. Initially, the concept suggested that, in a very straightforward manner, ALL the people involved would get rich. It involved persuading others to invest in a Sure Thing, with them. They had seen (actually been TOLD by senior financial services executives working for AIG (American International Group, Inc.) that the dynamic worked legally for others. At the time, in 1997, it was one of the largest USA financial services companies. There was a difficulty. Those who they saw making RICHES were trading hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars. They did not have or know others who had that degree of wealth. So, they changed the details to fit their clientele and expected prospect base. They were telling their contacts that all they needed was hundreds of THOUSANDS to participate in this bonanza. Their plan was to take the initial investments they conned their contacts to invest and use it to live a glitzy lifestyle in Las Vegas. This IMAGE was intended to attract SUPERRICH people with millions to invest.
Perhaps a dozen people bought their offer including some of my friends.
The partners lived the HIGH life for 9 months, always promising their investors a soon return.
In the larger Reality, the transactions involved took place in a matter of several weeks to return a multiple of the invested monies. The partners never acquired the BIG investors, never got into the elitist financial transactions, never paid back monies invested with them ... and were never prosecuted by the FBI. The EVIDENCE submitted to and acquired by the FBI was significant ... filing cabinets full of documents. Yet, the FBI only had enough resources to pursue those who had stolen hundreds of MILLIONS! At the time, mega-fraudsters were utilizing public financial desperation and the federal government defunding of the enforcement and prosecution resources involved. Add to that the repeal of financial regulations that COULD Protect the public and it left a market invitation to vultures. My friends and others lost their life savings.
In a second situation, a partnership of Catholic church elders determined to provide a publicity service to priests, nuns, ministers, and similar professions. It was a sincere IDEA, yet, it lacked ANY Research and Planning that would determine HOW they would actually Publish their directory, circulate it, and adequately finance it. One of the partners wanted a deck built onto his house. He considered that all the work he was doing to SELL the directory service to those who would list in it should pay him something. He "borrowed" all the fees they had collected and spent it on his home improvements. Then, he could not pay the money back, and, even more was required to make the directory publishing a reality. The expenses involved in finding and approaching the prospects, often in person, did not leave enough funds to actually publish, plus, cover personal loans to the salesmen-owners. In the end, he simply morally justified to himself that his theft were earnings for an INTENDED benefit to hundreds of others ... which would never be. Nothing legally brought any benefit to those who had purchased a listing. In the end, one of the partners took advantage of his partner because his partner refused to continue the now developed scam. Research, planning, relevant experience, and, a viable idea can reach a success. Ideas are cheap, and often more fantasy than possibilities.
In North America, and especially in the USA, doing something illegal does not automatically result in your being caught, prosecuted, and being fined or jailed. Much of the time, criminals are NOT caught. Doing something IMMORAL is simply accepted as NORMAL for the past 10 years (to 2022). You can lie, cheat, slander, and victimize ... and there will seldom be any charges that yield a LEGAL and just result. The Guilty declare their RIGHT to lie based on their interpretation of the USA constitution regarding Free Speech. THAT perspective was upheld by their Federal Supreme Court .. demonstrating the success of bribing enough judges and successfully nominating and then FINANCIALLY supporting their publicity to be accepted ... to what would eventually rise to hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars per candidate.
IMMORALITY is used here as a term to indicate that the dominant religions expressed and social organizations dominant in a culture typically advocate commandments, principles and values which enable and confirm citizenship and membership. Almost always they advocate Respect for self and others, truthfulness, honesty, negotiation, and peacefulness. Actions which subvert or defeat these values lead to loss of membership and any benefits which are afforded by it. This increasingly changed in the USA between 1970 and 2010. Mass media provided an hourly fantasy reality of ways in which criminals conducted illegal operations and how they failed ... a schooling for the potential criminal. After 2010, TV serials increasingly profiled criminal gangs and organizations which ROUTINELY survived by breaking laws, bullying others, and using violence.
Increasingly, as American investors chose to convert their investments from local American corporations to COLONIZE foreign corporations, jobs and incomes were lost from the USA. Millions became unemployed and unemployable, NOT because they were deficient employees, but because the financial support of their employers had disappeared .. for PERSONAL greed, and, treason to their nation. TREASON happens when you take ACTIONS which threaten the stability of your nation. The result: an increasing American workforce which felt betrayed, were financially desperate, and who were increasingly manipulated by the self-sabotaging intellectualizations preached by organizations financed, secretly, by American billionaires whose only focus was on paying fewer taxes and increasing pollution through reduced regulations. Mass media (TV and movies and documentaries) and tribal gangs of impoverished peers provided an answer: criminality. The law, politicians, and religion had FAILED them .. so throw out the old morality and accept the working satanic sociopathic morality of ANYTHING to get the money, power, and Respect.
Today, most employees work at jobs they dislike yet tolerate in order to make a wage and AFFORD to live as a citizen with dreams of freedom of choice, acceptance, affordability for themselves and their family. Just do what is required, as a minimum in one's job. There is no place left, except for the obsessed, privileged, or self-directed .. for professionalism. EVERYONE is a Technician ... a FOLLOWER of rules, procedures, techniques, expectations. Errors, deficiencies, and ignorance are accepted as NORMAL ... as a Cost of BELONGING and getting paid. BUYER BEWARE, because now,SELLERS are often doing their best to deceive you into buying poor quality and manipulate you into buying what you have not earned.
In the MEDICAL field this change of ATTITUDE is expressed in ways that convert a promoted SERVICE into a REAL imposition of Victimization. It is not so much a question of "Who is in Charge" as it is "What is in Charge"? Overpopulation demands organization and risk minimization. The CORPORATE structure provides both organization and risk minimization .. in exchange for a MORALITY of Profit by any means to the maximum. This Religion infiltrated and was encouraged in the USA for centuries. It became amplified, concealed, and intrusive when Artificial Intelligence (AI) added the use of Algorithms to the participation in anything digital (Internet, social media, e-mail, cellphones, TV topics, financing, automated purchasing, vehicle operation, energy production controls, armaments, political lobbying, medical scanning technology).
A FOCUS of this suit would best be to bring to the awareness of the CITIZEN, including patients, doctors, technicians, workers, retirees, politicians, teachers ... that their LEADERS have been rationally encouraged to discard their morality of RESPECT for Life and to clutch onto the god of Technology as a Savior for the increasing number and complexity of HUMAN generated problems. That "god" has only ONE focus ... it's survival at the increasing expense, subjugation and victimization of its SLAVES .. humans. A person's health integrity will now only become positive, Personal, Productive, and Present when EACH person takes a sincere interest in their health dynamics and INSISTS that their politicians and their healthcare providers LISTEN to them .. and provide a SERVICE and not just collect a paycheck. A FOCUS on Community, before Self, yet including self.
Omitted: What was Unsaid?
O Index
In complex situations, the obvious which can be seen by any half-aware witness, is seldom the world of the participant. If the person or organization charged with re-establishing calm and order, or changing a potentially harmful environment into a more empowering and respectful reality only focuses on the DRAMATIC they will likely miss some foundation characteristics which have enabled the growth of a destructive outcome. In ANY service, that often translates into LISTENING to and ACKNOWLEDGING the patient, needy purchaser, builder, developer .... It is often the hidden, concealed, embarrassing, addictive, vengeful, or desirous MOTIVE that the service seeker NEEDS. The suffering individual is often NOT consciously aware of these motives themselves.
They are asking for what they Think or Believe will address their motives. The ANSWER seems obvious to them. Yet, most often, the answer is just a Band-Aid over a septic cut. To repair the HUMAN problem, you either seek out the internal injury, or, the external injury will simply continue to manifest again and again. The former takes Time, Patience, Sincerity, Empathy, and a willingness to Empower others. Longer-term, it is MORE Economical than the Rush in and Fix solution. In the latter, the problem persists. A REPETITION of doctor's visits, tests, errors, injuries, improper diagnoses, and deaths result. In the former, those DESTRUCTIVE results seldom occur.
I chose to spend savings and invested borrowings in the first privately offered (Control Data Corp.) computer science training opportunity in Canada. Working with computers and technology seemed to offer greater independence, more active results, and more predictable and constant customers (computers) than the administrative and banking fields I had previously worked in. As a beginning, promoted, and expanding career, it also promised security of employment and stability of a better-than-average income ... plus Respect. I began working as a Customer Service Engineer for a prominent minicomputer company in Canada, a subsidiary of Litton Industries, in the late 1960s. Eventually, I progressed to servicing and installing systems in a territory that I was exclusively Responsible for. With most systems located distant and in all directions from my home office, it might take me more than an hour to reach my service client. With no cellphones, any "Repairs" which did not remain stable might result in my having to drive back out to them as soon as I returned to the office. Taking a few minutes longer at the customer to confirm that the problem had been fixed enabled me to observe the operator, owner and environment.
I had taken Customer Service training in another industry so I was familiar with the concept of Listening, Feedback, and
Resolution to providing an Effective SERVICE. This stimulated a desire to ASSIST others whenever the opportunity arose. And, in providing this TECHNICAL service to accounting departments of customers the opportunity arose often. Overall, I found that 50 percent of service problems extended from the PERSONAL problems of the operators. Unconsciously distracted by their persistent trauma-like experiences, memories, and concerns ... they made operational errors. This explained why also often, running tests on the presumed defective machines proved that they were NOT the problem. The operators also appreciated my NOT running away, listening to them, empathizing with their turmoil, and suggesting different ways of accepting or coping with their concerns. I became a servicing favorite of most of my service clients, both operators and owners. For operators, I was a friend and HUMAN. For owners, I was efficient, effective, and proficient. Customers and service personnel in other territories requested my participation when they had difficult-to-resolve situations.
MEDICAL services could and are delivered with greater Respect, Efficiency, and Participation by patients when the above noted characteristics are utilized. Unfortunately, the healthcare system in some and possibly many or all provinces DISCOURAGES the above dynamic through every facet of their operations. Physicians are trained and rewarded for SPEED. They are NOT paid for taking the time to Listen, be Patient, Encourage, provide Feedback, or sincerely be concerned about the BALANCE of the health of a patient. In the sociopathic cultural norm that has been encouraged and has evolved, technicians and specialists only show a focus and concern about following a predetermined and preauthorized schedule of tests until they have justification to prescribe drugs or otherwise assess a situation. Both are specifically directed by their instructors, their peers, and sometimes by the paranoia of a patient ... to IGNORE, DISMISS, and MINIMIZE anything offered by a patient in description of, summary of, or possible diagnosis of THEIR health. At the end of the shift, everyone, almost, just want to leave their work, go home, keep their job, receive their wage, and earn the respect of their title.
Police Officer (USA) shoots an unarmed nonwhite vehicle driver during a traffic stop.
This usually results in the township or state filing one or several charges against the officer.
There are instances in which there is a clarity in the evidence of prejudice, incitement, aggression ... on the part of the officer .. and this PATTERN has often been demonstrated to have occurred with SPECIFIC officers on previous similar events. Yet, Defense attorneys seem to have had a persistent PATTERN of NOT creating an INFORMED Pattern of perception about what state of mind the officer was likely in. That STATE-of-MIND may have been significantly enhanced by recent law enforcement events, by the repetitive scenarios popularized in the mass media (TV, movies, ...), and, by the non-verbal communication training to which the officer had been immersed.
Potentially significant pieces of Awareness are NEVER revealed or noted by the attorneys, by the mass media, or, by the officer (who is often still in a state of PTSD shock) which the court protocol may deny any statement without the permission of the court, or, as an answer to a question specifically directed at them by an attorney. A few of the common possibilities include:
- Were you aware of any outstanding warrants against this individual, from police radio feedback?
- Had you been informed of any recorded CAUTIONS about this person potentially having a gun/weapon?
- How many shooting fatalities regarding police officers had you heard about during the previous 2 months?
- Did a fellow officer convey a visual facial communication of SHOCK, to you, at a movement of the driver?
- How long have you been an officer and how many times before have you fired your weapon at someone?
ALL of the above, and others, encourage ANY officer to become paranoid, reactive, in error.
In too many instances, officers are held accountable for the WEAKNESSES of their culture and laws.
The LEGAL inadequacies are often the result of officers being represented by someone who has NEVER been an officer themselves, have never been embedded in a police force for part of their training, and who cannot, for any other reason, FEEL themselves in the position the officer must have been experiencing at the time. If a person has been a police officer for 30 years, never before had fired their weapon at another person, had received honors for supporting their community, and had never expressed any attitudes of bullying, racism, or incompetence ... why must the media and courts ASSUME that they directly chose to MURDER the unfortunate traffic stop driver?
This was a driver of whom the officer was warned by her radio before she approached him, of having been charged with carrying a concealed and unregistered gun 2 weeks earlier. And when her fellow officer suddenly looked at her with a facial gesture of shock and fear at a movement of the driver, and, in projection of repeated news reports of 4 officers being shot and killed in the previous 3 weeks ... what might she have become terrified about?
In the health services industry, especially if it is controlled financially by absentee political landlords, what is UNSAID is that the Patient is LESS important than the Cost, than the acceptance of the employer, than the rules and restrictions imposed by industry associations, than the perceptions and morality of one's peers. The Patient is simply a MEANS to an End: Money and Acceptance. If the Patient were the FOCUS of the SERVICE, the End would be their RECOVERED or Maintained health and the MEANS would include Listening, Empathy, Feedback, Encouragement, Honesty, and technology when indicated as Relevant.
Omitted: Is there a Minority Report?
O Index
With Medical digital diagnostic SCANS, there are options of RESOLUTION, just like in all forms of photography, film, and recordings. A LOWER resolution means that there are fewer dots or particles of color per coverage, such as a square inch or square centimeter than in a higher resolution image. Enlarging a LOW resolution image results in an increasing blurring of the image. Particulars, specifics, and less detected realities become LESS clear and easier to miss and more likely to be omitted from any report or diagnosis. The topic of RESOLUTION is noted elsewhere in this document as
A Minority Report in relation to a diagnostic scan might be a non-routine investigation of a digital medical scan by someone with ADDITIONAL experience and expertise relative to those who have reviewed the scan earlier and submitted a sanctioned report. It could be argued that having a more experienced, skilled, and professional physician or technologist review ANY scan would REVEAL any nuances which could be significant to diagnosis yet missed by younger, less experienced, more technically focused, rushed assessors. If the original scans are in LOW Resolution, enlarging them will NOT improve their clarity. Without improved CLARITY it is unlikely that any IMPROVEMENT in diagnostic assessment or summary would be practical to expect.
Employing a longer viewing duration in controlled lighting might, by enabling the viewer's eyes to adapt to the shading of the image result in the detection of more subtle differences than were recognized by an earlier assessment person. Enlarging the image is of questionable benefit. Sometimes, simply an assessment by another evaluation person can yield new findings. Most of the time, there will be NO Minority Report because the image is of LOW resolution quality to begin with. It has been omitted because it CANNOT exist!
Omitted: Why do you Want to Fail?

Why would a service provider WANT to provide a POOR quality of service?
Doing so would ..
- REDUCE Cost,
- QUICKEN the outcomes,
- LESSEN device usage durations,
- SIMPLIFY assessments through denial,
- AMPLIFY hospital charges through repetitive scans,
- NULLIFY surgical requirements by underdiagnosing,
- ENCOURAGE patient Confidence through immediate conclusions,
- ELIMINATE unpaid patient expenses through Death of patience from non-treatment.
An HONEST Service provider would have a FOCUS on and MOTIVATION to ..
- REDUCE Inefficiency,
- STRENGTHEN the diagnoses,
- DETERMINE Relevancy of device utilization,
- BALANCE Assessments through an Integration of indicators,
- REDUCE patient and government billing through beneficial treatments,
- IMPROVE surgical expertise and requirements by accurate diagnostic outcomes,
- ENCOURAGE patient Optimism and Hope through professional assessment & definition,
- ELIMINATE unpaid patient expenses through early RECOVERY with Relevant treatments.
But we know the REALITY.
It is the FOCUS of this Class Action Suit.
The DEMONSTRATED dynamic of the Alberta Health Services with the subject of this suit is to DENY
the opportunities of technology, the benefit of increased training of technicians, the variables involved with the use of technologies.
It is easy to AVOID or MISREPRESENT one's Responsibilities when one is unaware, ignorant, prejudiced, lazy, plagued by inertia, and disconnected from one's patients, taxpayers, citizens. The almost complete employee, supervisory and administrative network of Alberta Health Services ACTS consistently as if it is the latter: in Avoidance, and, addicted to Misrepresentation. It is not a certain stimulant for change, but exposing the REALITY to these persons through the courts and the media is about the only avenue that ENCOURAGES meaningful near future IMPROVEMENTS.

Create your MyHealth Records account in 2 steps.
ONE: Get a MyAlberta Digital ID
You need to sign up for a verified MyAlberta Digital ID to use MyHealth Records.
Creating a MyAlberta Digital ID is quick.
Once created, the first step is to confirm your identity online using your Alberta issued driver’s license (active) or identification card. After you have completed this step, you can immediately create your MyHealth Records account and access your records (for a 90-day grace period) while waiting for a mailed verification code to complete the final step in verifying your MyAlberta Digital ID.
TWO: Create your MyHealth Records account.
LINK: https://account.alberta.ca/signup
Go to MyHealth Records and login with your confirmed MyAlberta Digital ID to create your MyHealth Records account. You need your Alberta Personal Health Number.
Make sure to verify your MyAlberta Digital ID within 90 days of your sign up to continue getting up-to-date Alberta lab results, medication, and immunization information in MyHealth Records. This is the final step of the identity verification process.

A verified MyAlberta Digital ID has been verified against an authoritative record that aligns with the standards and processes outlined in the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework. A verified MyAlberta Digital ID lets you access more services.
Canadian passport.
This is NOT acceptable as it does not confirm your address.
A Canadian passport is considered a travel document and not an identity document.
Nationality.
You do not have to be a Canadian citizen, but you must be a resident of Alberta. Your valid Alberta driver’s license or identification card is proof of residency.
Mailing confirmation.
The activation code must be sent to the address shown on your identification.
This is how we confirm that the person in possession of the Alberta driver’s license or identification card is also the person requesting verification.
Activation Code.
Once your personal information is verified, the system will generate a confirmation email and a letter with your activation code that will arrive by regular mail. When you receive the activation code, you will need to enter it on the Manage account page to complete the verification process.
Renewal of Digital ID.
The verified digital identity must be verified again annually (or every 3 years) or when your Alberta driver’s license or identification card expires.
Account Closure Privacy.
All personal data collected by MyAlberta Digital ID will be securely stored for a period of two years from the date the account closed. After the two years, your account information will be deleted from the MyAlberta Digital ID database.
Automatic Sign-off.
If you forget to sign out of your account, you will be signed out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

NOTE: During 2021, Alberta Health Services (AHS) made several changes to their policies and practices regarding the provision of digital copies of Digital Scan tests (Ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc.) to their patients and their representatives. Previously, these had been provided on a CD for a cost ($30.00 + tax ea.), as I had acquired same a number of times from Radiology Associates. NOW, the scans were shared by e-mail by way of providing one-time registration to access an online WORKSPACE.
Doctor's Reports for each of these scans were now available, separately
by request from the Access and Disclosure, Health Information Management Department for a charge ($25.00 + tax ea.?).
These were to be provided within 30 days. I placed a request for many reports on Monday, June 13, 2022.
On June 13, 2022, I requested copies of many Doctor's Reports.

HISTORICALLY, I had requested copies of Doctor's Reports earlier, from doctors and hospital staff.
In addition, I found Doctor's Reports as part of the SCAN package when I obtained DVDs of the Test Scans.
I may have printed these out, or, one can find them on the copies of scan jobs on DVDs in the BLACK hard case of Medical DVDs.
IMPORTANTLY, I had earlier saved these Reports in a variety of folders-of-Interest, including "X-Rays", "MRIs"," CT Scans", "Ultrasounds".
During July, 2022, I reorganized these into "Doctor's Reports" files, often according to YEAR of Activity.
These folders will be on a table near my desk or elsewhere in my office.

viewing, it is recommended to save the file on your Desktop.
Step 3 – Viewing the Images
To view the images that have been shared with you, locate the file that you downloaded in the previous step.
Inside the Shared Folder
If you are using a Windows computer, launch the “viewer-win32.exe” application
to view the DICOM image data with the image viewer.
If you are using a Mac computer, open the “viewer-mac.app” folder.
The WEASIS Medical Viewer requires Java (version JRE8 or greater) to function (https://www.java.com/en/).
The “DICOM” folder contains the raw data for importing into another system
(please note that the DICOM image data can only be viewed in an image viewer):
Retrieving Test SCANS in digital format.
Many of these were requested on Monday, June 13.
I received a response soon afterwards inviting me to Register, Sign-in, Access, and Download copies of scans from a Workspace.
At first, mistakenly, I confused the requested Username and Password with that which I had for MyHealth website. This ONE attempt to enter closed off the ONE time initial access. Reporting NO ACCESS, I was then given a second access LINK which I used to create a NEW Username and Password, gain access to the WORKSPACE, and download the files to my computer storage.
I researched and reviewed the information referenced in the README document, see below, and then made efforts to INSTALL and RUN the DAO and WHEASIS programs on both the Windows 10, and Linux MINT Cinnamon 4.6.7 (Linux Mint 20 Ulyana, base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal). On MINT, the DAO Viewer was indicated as installed, yet could NOT be found or loaded anywhere.

INSTALLATION COMPLEXITIES.
DICOM dex
DICOM (dao.exe) appears to open and install in Linux MINT
by selecting to Open it WITH the WINE Program Files installation program.
Yet it does NOT, and cannot be found ANYWHERE in any program lists ... so, CANNOT be used in Linux, without much effort at installation, in my experience.
WINE (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Macs, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.
DICOM (dao.exe) also does NOT run on Windows 10 or higher versions.
Again, it appears to install, yet cannot be found.
Searches on Windows 10 for DICOM yielded NOTHING for me (2022-07)
Searches in APPS, yielded a link to the Microsoft Store, and a FREE software

on your machine or be embedded in the portable distribution.
For more information about the viewer go to
http://www.dcm4che.org/confluence/display/WEA/Home.
Most medical scan images in North America require a version of a DICOM Viewer in order to display them.
As you will encounter in the information below, available preferences, modifications, options, and other characteristics can be chosen by the Viewer user to enable their easier, faster, and more diagnostically accurate and beneficial interpretation of their significance.
IF it becomes necessary or beneficial for the medical scans that I have had to be re-interpreted with greater expertise than the originals were, there are several critical factors to consider.
RESOLUTION:
DICOM dex
Most scanning technology DEVICES have a great range of purchasing and hardware/software selections that CONTROL the way in which the scans are taken/made. Most CT, MRI, Ultrasonic and other digital medical scan devices can be purchased with one or a number of scan resolution settings. Lowest cost is equal to lowest number of options. The usually most basic and lowest resolution settings are restricted to showing bones and abnormalities which contain some degree of mineral, or calcite-like substance. Kidney and gallstones readily show. Many parasite infestations, some cancers, and a variety of cysts, tumors, and, other tissue abnormalities do not.
In conversation with a CT technician at a major hospital in Alberta, it became clear that the technician was not even aware that his machine could have more than ONE resolution setting. That is what his had and he had never been asked to select another setting , nor been trained to expect that such was possible. It is possible, that in many provinces and states, the medical and hospital authorities, most often under the direction of political or investment authorities, only provide minimally equipped devices to most hospitals, and, may provide more modifiable devices to research and university location. It can even be that such a latter location receives a highly customized scanning device because a private donator has paid for it.
If medical scans have been made only at a LOW resolution setting, no viewer or its operator can force the images to assume the clarity and detail of a higher resolution scan. If such detail and clarity is desired or required, new scans must be made with a machine equipped to provide such HIGHER resolution settings and scans.
EXPERIENCE:
DICOM dex
Not all technical experience is equal in Quality and Accuracy.
Over the decades I have moved frequently and been required to go to numerous chiropractors.
As a holistically oriented service, I have never found two chiropractors, from several dozen, who had the same level of awareness, sensitivity of movement, progression of skill, integration of other modalities, or, utilization of unique or various interpretative applications of spinal adjustment and alignment.
In one notable case, the chiropractor had received his training 30 years earlier.
His use of diagnostic technique was as crude and counter-productive ... verging on harmful ... as one might expect from a student making their clumsy first efforts. In a totally opposite direction, another chiropractor had so refined his awareness, touch sensitivity, integration of homeopathic methods and theory, and, self-hypnotic intelligence .. that he could effect major spinal adjustments without my being aware that he had done anything .. while at the same time release physical trauma patterns which typically force subluxation repeat patterns.
Who and where (SOURCE) one has received their training is important to effectiveness.
Also important is the ATTITUDE of the practitioner and whether they take pleasure in keeping an open mind and daily finding new ways to improve their skills and knowledge. DURATION of practice is often held as a measure of expertise ... but as is demonstrated her, Source of Training and Attitude are often of greater impact to the outcomes.
These characteristics, in my opinion and experience, also apply to most other SERVICE occupations ... from mechanic to computer repair to customer service, to medical practitioner to counselor to scanning device technician to digital image assessment. A COMPETENT person capable of Accurately assessing a digital medical scan appears to be unique in North America. While long term professionals state that in their experience and practice the legitimate assessment of a CT scan cannot be completed in less than 40 minutes ... ALL of the medical scans I have had done in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta were completed in 5 MINUTES. I know it took that long because I waited for a digital copy of each, with its included assessment report, after each one in 50 percent of the instances.
In the diagnostic performance of Echinococcus multilocularis, the MEDICAL statistics indicate that of those patients found to have such a health limiting difficulty, 50% were found in an autopsy and 50% were found during a surgery being conducted on the suspicion of another medical problem ... which was usually found to not exist. And consider that the deaths of most patients no longer justifies an autopsy unless the person was NOT under a doctor's care, was in an accident, or is dramatically assumed to have died from some illegal means.
In the Fall of 2019, Cassidy Armstrong went into Alberta surgery with a surprise finding. She had such an invasive REALITY of Echinococcus multilocularis including a large grapefruit size cyst in the middle of her liver, filled with parasites .. that her surgeons removed her gallbladder, 65 per cent of her liver and cut several nodes off her lungs, in addition to scraping a cyst off her diaphragm. Low resolution scans, and their assessment had NOT called ANY attention to the reality.
How many others die slowly and in agony because of deficient diagnostic equipment, physicians and specialists who are uninterested in expanding their knowledge, and, a politically encouraged attitude of technicians just going through the procedure lists they are rewarded for?

How to enable Weasis logging?
Starting with Weasis 3.5, a boot log file is always written in /.weasis/log/boot-x.log to trace the boot configuration.
A default.log file in the same folder can trace all the Weasis activities; the latter must be activated:
From File > Preferences > General enable Rolling log, select a log level and a stacktrace limit (DEBUG and empty (unlimited stacktrace lines) are recommended for investigating problems).
The default logging configuration comes from config.properties or ext-config.properties, see Weasis Preferences .

- WEASIS: Web Protocol.
The web protocol allows to launch Weasis in a web context from a specific URI scheme: weasis://parameters.
When first used in a browser, a popup appears to confirm the opening of the weasis protocol.
On Windows, it is possible to make sure that this message never appears by adding a browser policy which allows the URI weasis://*
- With IE/Edge the policy is applied by the native installer.
- With Chrome the policy is applied by the native installer (Windows and Linux), see how to manage URLWhitelist (d).

Basics: Weasis Architecture.
Weasis has a modular architecture based on OSGi: the dynamic module system for Java.
It uses the Apache Felix OSGi framework which is an open source implementation of the OSGi specification.
The following schemas show the main different plug-in types (bundle in OSGi language) and their relationships. Viewer, Viewer Tool Pane, Tool Bar, Data Explorer and Codec bundles are registered dynamically by the Declarative Services (a way to push or to consume services in OSGi environment).
For each bundle, translation files are packaging in a separated bundle ending by “i18n” called a bundle fragment (OSGi concept) which is merged during runtime to the application. In this way, translation can be handled separately and they are automatically loaded by the application when they are available.
Some Codec bundles also have bundle fragments.
Those fragments contain native libraries (JNI wrapping).
The Weasis launcher enables downloading and loading only the native binaries related to the running platform.

Addiction: The Technology Obsession.
ATHENA index
History is often forgotten, denied, or distorted when profits and power enter the equation of Truth.
Humanity has demonstrated a CONSISTENT set of at least 3 self-sabotaging patterns of Technology Development, Transfer, and Application.
-
Desperation for POWER in FEAR of an Abuser, Empire, Competitor.
A VICTIM attitude and belief which transforms Balance into Rebellion.
A REBEL wants to have the Benefits of those perceived to be more powerful.
The CYCLE often develops that the WEAK destroy the POWERFUL, then, create their own Victims.
Stalin wanted to put a nuclear bomb into orbit as protection against a SECOND invasion of the USSR by American troops. The major motivation for Hitler to begin WWII was to gain more "living space" for the crowded German population. ALL other major nations had expanded their "living space" through the Empire building benefits of colonization ... which in reality was simple invasion, theft of land, and massacre of the aboriginals. Nuclear power received little investment or political attention until the possible use of it as an extreme explosive was accepted. The automobile went nowhere in the mass market until WWI and WWII saw a mass production of military vehicles in the safe lands of the American mainland. Contributing highly to this massive expansion of vehicle numbers was the extensive cross USA roads network built to enable a fast allocation of military forces and supplies should mainland USA ever be attacked. Mainframe computers slowly developed until the USA military received the funding to accelerate development and Control Data began preparing technology to calculate armament ballistic firing paths for use in Vietnam. Technology has always been a way for humans in the modern era (3000 B.c to the Present) ADDICTIVELY expanding their population to create Resource Depletion and inadequacy, Energy use acceleration, Economic Dependency, and, Health Reduction through overcrowding and lack of Respect for anything alive --- to AVOID taking Political Responsibility.
The classical Greeks and Spartans had a political and economic choice of whether to develop technology.
The Greeks decided to avoid the technology dependency strategy because it would minimize the Quality and Personal Artistry of handmade goods, and, enter them into an expensive competition with neighbors as to whom would have the best armaments to take control of those restricting its trade or seeking to expand their territory. The Spartans chose technology precisely for the opposing possibilities. With technology they could expand their trade, wealth, power, and control of others. They could mass produce items for low cost and high utility. As with many military exploits by humans ... they could steal lands, resources, people (slaves), from others. The hazard with technology is that it allows the physically powerful to dominate the peaceful. Eventually, those who are being abused either develop more powerful or useful technology, and, overthrow those who stole their freedom, or, they integrate into the invasive political structure and adopt the same morality, or, they flee elsewhere. Repeatedly, we have recorded in our histories how OTHER empires have fallen when the Cost of their Power toppled them and left the weak and poor to survive ... and in some cases, repeat the cycle by seeking to expand their Resources and Wealth.
For the past 7 DECADES, pharmaceutical companies, followed by medical device and supplement sales organizations, have sought to promote their products as ever more advanced because of their technological expertise and real or supposed research .. carried out with technology. Very quickly, personalized sales assistants have morphed into AI (Artificial Intelligence Algorithms) driven humanized technologies which pressure and stimulate their contact to Buy-Buy-Buy with the promise of health improvement. This almost always involves NO consideration of the health history, current symptoms and diagnoses, or other modalities being used by the targeted purchaser. Again, technology, by CHOICE, is NOT being used for the optimum, and RELEVANT, benefit of the patient.
-
Confidence in FANTASIES which are known to lack REALITY, which is ignored or suppressed.
An "I am god" Attitude contributes to choices made to support one's assumption of ultimate Power & Truth.
A person with an unconscious motivation to COUNTER a Judgement of Weakness, Loss, Guilt, Abandonment seeks
an indicator of PHYSICAL success .. unlimited Wealth, Media Acceptance, Political Manipulation, Legal Risk.
Eventually, the CONFIDENCE balloon breaks and the host and their many supporters suffer greatly.
SCAMS are the one of the most popular forms of expression of Technology promotion.
As a species we have shown our inability to cope with REALITY which suggests that the mess we continue to create we unconsciously, and by habit and addiction, do not WANT to take Responsibility for and assert self-control as adults rather than as ever needy infants or ever lustful teenagers. While the species could have PLANNED before JUMPING, the desperation REACTION has been to slap a Band-Aid on problems and forget them. Wars, food scarcity, water clarity, balanced lifeform populations, endemic and epidemic disease events, interpersonal abuse and violence, and competition with each other and radicalized membership tribalism ... could ALL have been avoided, remedied, minimized with the surpluses we harvested. Instead, we have INCREASINGLY used technology over the past 200 years to immerse our lives in the fantasies of space travel (we have known of the DEADLY realities of cosmic radiation since the 1960s and have NO way to protect ourselves from it), movie fictions, soap operas, socially accepted mood altering substances (tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, ....), endless intellectualized and hypocritical political and judicial competitions, and, INCREASINGLY health DIMINISHING foods and an INCREASINGLY polluted environment of air, water, soil. These PRIDE-driven solutions are all SCAMS. They promise to deliver what they are incapable of: Peace, Harmony, Enough.
Technology is accelerated in development by an Attitude of Never-Enough.
This is an extension of the Energy Blocks (PTSD-like inherited motivations) linked to core beliefs of abandonment, fear, uncertainty, guilt, and emotional starvation. Our AI (Artificial Intelligence Algorithms) have been programmed to accentuate these deficiencies and target us with perspectives, expectations, assumptions, and offers .. which will ever draw us deeper into the IMMATURE social structure of the tribe, gang, mob, extremist, terrorist, radical, righteous, and advocate. We have had, for decades, ENOUGH nuclear weapons to destroy all life on the Earth, yet, we continue to develop ever greater weapons of destruction. We have SIMPLE technologies that enable birth control, yet we POLITICALLY and RELIGIOUSLY avoid these with the infantile rationalization that we should be able to do whatever we want whenever we want regardless of the cost to others and to the species. We FORCE solutions to be inadequate, inconsistent, complex, subject to failure. We worship the IDEA of Medical Technological Perfection, and then, NEVER develop the expertise to use the technology optimally, partially because we relegate the patient to a disembodied NUMBER.
-
Desperation for CONTROL in Anxiety and Confusion and Ignorance.
A LOSER attitude and belief which transforms Balance into IDOLATRY.
A SLAVE wants to be MASTER over developments and potential LOSSES.
The TREND often Spirals into the creation of more and more COMPLEXITY.
It becomes Self Sabotaging when the users of the Technology lose an understanding of HOW the technology works.
Assumptions, shortcuts, superstitions, incompetence, Pride, Ignorance, Denial, and spurious rationalizations misuse the technology to potential sanctioned DISASTROUS results when highly Beneficial Results could have been resolved.
Medical and Pharmaceutical AMPLIFIED promotions tend to be one of the most frequent forms of this Deception.
Mass Media has promoted, in North America, for many DECADES, the illusion that physicians, surgeons, and medical specialists are ALL miracle workers who use Technology to MAGICALLY cure their patients. They are politically promoted as SANCTIONED health authorities who are ALWAYS better informed about ALL medicines, health processes, technologies, and the health of the patient .. than ANY patient. They are a god to be worshipped and obeyed. Their assessments and protocols are NEVER to be questioned or doubted. This dynamic ensures that the medical professional will NEVER learn from their mistakes, will be discouraged from learning more about their profession or the technologies used, and, that they will ASSUME that any black box technology must ALWAYS work correctly.
Cochrane Reviews, a British International charitable organization that conducts systematic reviews, found less than half of the drugs approved from 2008 to 2021 had only moderate to high quality evidence of SAFETY. Further, prescription drug harms were underreported with around 37 percent of interventions found with harm and 8.1 percent had significant evidence of harm. USA FDA drug assessments and approvals from 1983 to 2018 found that while the number of drugs approved annually increased, their review period decreased. According to Dr. David Light from Harvard University, writing in a 2014 article, the majority of newly approved drugs bring little to no improvements, with 1 in 5 new prescriptions causing SEVERE adverse events. At the same time, prices for pharmaceuticals (in the USA) have soared with drug median prices growing 85 times higher from 2008 to 2022. ALL pharmaceutical development and approval research is done with Technology ... as is the Marketing.
Increasingly, the use of Technology has been towards the Promotion and Sale of the drugs and NOT towards establishing their Safety or Benefit. As long as the public continue to be hypnotized by the mass media, with political sanction, to believe in health through suppression-of-symptoms and forceful control of our bodies rather than a partnership of working with them ... the tens of THOUSANDS of deaths from pharmaceutical interactions and misprescibing will continue to rise. Medical scans will continue to be poorly acquired through under-resourced technologies operated by largely poorly trained and experienced medical staff. This is NOT a Technology problem. It is a human problem of how we CHOOSE to use technology.
A use and development of a Technology may include more than one of the above FORMS of expression at one time, and, these may change in presence and impact over time. TECHNOLOGY can be a Significant Benefit WHEN it is applied in a RELEVANT manner by highly aware and experienced TECHNICIANS whose Values and Motivations are supervised, limited, and enhanced .. by managers (social, religious, political) who seek to Benefit the public with Integrity, Service, Understanding, and, Quality of experience and outcome.
Medical and Pharmaceutical technologies are INCREASINGLY misused, misapplied, and wasted as the ECONOMICS of Cost restriction and corporate profits result in the machines and devices being used by poorly trained personnel confined to inadequate time performance limits, and restricted to bureaucrat determined routines built on assumptions and expectations which are unrealistic to achieving Greatest Benefit, and, long term Consistency. Pharmaceuticals become more and more DANGEROUS to use. Medical DEVICES become more and more used in ways that ENDANGER the patient through a FAILURE to provide Relevant assessments. This results in a DEPRESSED patient population which increasingly distrusts the medical community, as well as, a dichotomy of medical personnel who feel Pride and Authority in their use/misuses of the technology available to them.
Illnesses and disabilities from which a patient could recover or achieve health improvement become extended into a repetition of physician, clinic, and emergency department visits ... which are typically resolved with more prescriptions and more tests .. which are often irrelevant and costly. The result is that the population becomes evermore endemically chronically ill, experience higher than necessary numbers of deaths through medication conflicts, and, the medical system becomes evermore paranoid about costs ... and places MORE restrictions on the training of technicians and physicians and their contact with the patient, and, on the use of the technologies available.

While these "Benefits" are often of an unconscious non-verbalized nature, most employees in North America are aware of their presence.
A physician with decades of scan interpretation experience in the USA offered that those who assessed scan packages (consisting of dozens or even hundreds of images) could NOT do so EFFECTIVELY in less than 45 minutes. In some Canadian provinces, I have observed scan reports being dictated, coded, and provided to patients with the scan images on a CD/DVD, with invoice, in less than 10 minutes. This was a repeated and consistent experience of mine at Radiology Associates.

These are PERSONALIZED additions to the scans which can support the findings presented by the assessment person in the REPORT. This assumes and plans for a review of the images by one or more other persons, and/or, a PERSONALITY of the assessment technician that finds it rewarding to artistically "Play" with the information to both support and guide them to conclusions which they can easily review, before, or after writing their Report.
Annotations essentially overlay a LOGIC on the scan package which makes alternate explanations, discernment, or findings difficult to consider. They suggest and establish a Context of AUTHORITY.

Proprietary Technology – All our technology is developed on-site, and we keep absolute control over all our code!
The "Competitive Advantages" noted assumes that the interested reader appreciates AUTOMATION (in which many Personal CHOICES are premade into Defaults), and, Microsoft WORD enslavement, and, software monopolization. "Proprietary" is another way of expressing "We do NOT SHARE". An embedded Web Viewer is almost an absolute necessity, yet, a conversion utility to an HTML format would provide unlimited viewing to all interested individuals.
"Automatic and Continuous Updates" may be an invasion of Privacy if it is provided in the more modern (2020) Microsoft context of "We will download updates to your computer WITHOUT your being informed or your permission requested for each, without telling you what they are for, and, perhaps with add ons which convert your MANDATORY Windows 10 or higher version to SPY software that uses AI to record all your Internet visits, and possibly more of your activities.)
Essentially, MOST of these "Advantages" confirm that you are, or will become ... a willing and ignorant SLAVE to Microsoft, and their likely manipulated partner, Athena.

A CAUTION about FaceBook Video availability and access.
While SEARCHING for and following companion LINKS from videos on FaceBook (2022-07) which offered to provide a greater understanding of, familiarity with, and details about DICOM and its uses ... A number of videos I made note of by URL became UNAVAILABLE within HOURS. Returning to FaceBook to view these videos again or further, and to confirm their URL, I was informed that they had been discarded. NO reason or explanation was offered. SEARCHING FaceBook for them returned a listing of other videos, but not the now MISSING ones. Those suddenly missing ones were not retained in the CHART below.
While there are several possible explanations for the AUTOMATED Removal of the videos, those presented here are extensions of policies I have encountered on other sites, and, were admitted to.
-
Membership:
A site may deny you ACCESS to THEIR hosted materials (some or all) if you do NOT purchase a membership (or at least leave all your Identification details with them. I do NOT have an Upgraded FaceBook sign in.
-
Popularity:
Information on a Reference website may be REMOVED if it is discerned (usually by an AI (Artificial Intelligence Algorithms)) that it has NOT been used ENOUGH (also determined by an AI), and/or, that it is NOT recent enough (also determined by an AI), and/or, that it has not gained ENOUGH (determined by an AI) replies or comments from viewers. All of the SUDDENLY MISSING videos were posted in 2017. Most did not have any, or only a few, replies or comments. While some had been visited hundreds of times, others had recorded less than 10 visitors. ALL of those who had viewed the videos, other than myself, appear to have originated in the early days following the posting.
-
Demonstrated Interest:
I had found, noted, viewed a small bit of the video .. and had planned to return at a later time to fully view the video. Partial Views may be interpreted by an AI (Artificial Intelligence Algorithms) as a disinterested visitor = Unpopular.
-
Non-Trackable Visitors:
An Internet user who loads the video yet has a system which ANONYMIZES them, or, which BLOCKS Third Party advertisers, or, who does NOT stay long enough viewing the video to allow for AI Identity capture ... may be interpreted as NOT a VALUED viewer, and, if this is the only viewer present in a long (determined by the AI) time ... the video may then be categorized as a non MARKETING benefit ... which is transferred to the video as ,,, a non MARKETING benefit video.

Reasons of Privilege:
There may be one or more other reasons for the CHOICE by FaceBook policies to REMOVE these videos.
NONE were Shared, Acknowledged, or otherwise stated.

While my research in these areas must be limited in accord to the time restraints imposed by my deteriorating health, references to RESOLUTION and its potential importance was NEVER found on any DICOM pages I encountered.
RESOLUTION is a Radiology and Imaging training, application, and performance consideration.
DICOM could be considered as an Accessory Information TOOL which extends interactions with the images.
IF these consideration have been assumed to be a default, then DICOM providers and users are EXPECTING that ALL radiologists are fundamentally trained and experienced and aware of the potentially CRITICAL contribution which Resolution applies to ANY medical assessment of the Images.

Quality: Standards - Stability.
Q Index
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the globally accepted (2018) standard for communication and management of a wide range of medical images and related information. DICOM further supports encoding, storage, and exchange of image annotations as well as quantitative measurements derived from images. While the standard has been extended to support digital pathology, it has seen little adoption in pathology practice (2018). Specifically, the DICOM standard comprises an extensive set of documents that specify various technical aspects of digital pathology.
"Tissue-based diagnostics relies heavily on optical (bright field) microscopy.
Digital pathology promises advances over this 150-year-old technology.
First, scanned slides may be navigated seamlessly on a display at multiple magnifications for diagnosis and research (“virtual microscopy”).
Second, different pathologists may remotely review the slides simultaneously in real time (“telepathology”).
Third, images may be analyzed by computer algorithms and the resulting quantitative biomarkers can be integrated with clinical data (“computational pathology”)." ...
SETTING the STANDARDS.
Politicians and Medical authorities in North America have been hopeful from the post-WWII era that Diagnostic Medical Imaging would be the answer of accuracy and effectiveness to what had been, and continued to be highly flawed physician diagnoses based on laboratory tests, mental projection, superstition, spurious rationalizations, and, guessing. As time progressed, states confused the cost of this modality with the application numbers, and, the diagnostic outcomes. Politicians and Administrators are more sensitive to costs than effectiveness and few studies were being compiled to evaluate the effectiveness of this modality in terms of accuracy of diagnoses. As an example, in North Carolina there were only 2 MRI programs in 1983, and they
performed a total of 531 procedures that year; in comparison, there were 260 fixed and mobile MRI scanners in 2010–2011, and they performed 776,852 scans. Similarly, in 1985 the state had only 1 PET scanner, but by 2010–2011 there were a total of 27 fixed dedicated PET scanners, which performed 34,900 procedures, and mobile PET scanners performed another 5,716 procedures. Increased utilization has often been driven by appropriate clinical indications for these procedures.
However, a significant portion of the increase has been driven by clinical overuse -- and perhaps to some extent by requests from poorly informed and desperate patients. Additionally, dangers to patient health included radiation exposure, procedural complications, and toxic influence symptoms from gadolinium, an early contrast material (injected into the bloodstream to enhance scan detection and illustration. In addition, workup of incidental findings involves significant costs, anxiety, and further potential adverse outcomes. The development of DICOM was motivated by a need to minimize these risks and improve effectiveness and efficiency. I myself had Gadolinium reaction symptoms from one of my early scans. Detoxification, when possible can take as long as 10 years, as it did with me. Had studies been done, improvements in health enhancement, technical expertise, device operation procedures, technician training, and, availability of system advanced installation options could have remedied many of the multiplying weaknesses of the scanning approach.
Authority Desperation is a background influence which is often held in Denial and embarrassment and REACTED to with a paranoia about Cost muddied by irrelevant publicity enhancing the Technology Addiction suggesting that hardware perfection will improve diagnoses, health recoveries, and, eventually .. lower costs. This BELIEF is rarely supported by the REALITY through history. More of an inadequate technology applied with irrelevancy and used to yield flawed outcomes (assessments) ALWAYS results in either an abandonment of potentially constructive technology, or, conflicts in financing and application between more-will-win, and, sales-win-over-effectiveness. This rush-to-fail strategy is often isolated from both feedback from patients, sociologists, technicians, and the public in general while a bureaucracy pushes further technical development showcasing MORE Features. POWER of MORE clouds the Reality of degree of RELEVANT use, application, effectiveness.
Efforts to streamline application of and improve diagnostic clarity of imaging modalities have called for (since 2006 or before)
"changing physicians’ behavior, providers and health plans will need to better
engage patients in taking responsibility for their own health and well-being."
These approaches have largely FAILED as the policies and practices and culture of the health services institutions, medicare, medical associations, physician training centers, and government information services have been more active in providing a framework of FANTASY benefits promoted QUIETLY, and often hypocritically, Self Direction. Meanwhile the public, their target, is besieged by marketing promotions and media dramas which reinforce ATTITUDES of pharma and medical Perfection ... which embeds (hypnotically imprints) attitudes of enslavement (you are without power or knowledge) and entitlement (you deserve the service of others) to placate and immobilize the public.
Further efforts to minimize costs have resulted in the use of DICOM-like services to dissociate and distance the actual ASSESSMENT of scanned images from local providers to international lower remunerated technicians to which digital copies of scans are transmitted (i.e. Nighthawk Radiology Services, in India) for the purpose of generating interpretations, which never receive any feedback to encourage improvements ... and with which, local healthcare workers simply mirror the assessments as if they parachuted from God. This accentuates the REALITY that local sources of scan assessment become evermore numbed to and deficient in their abilities to evaluate scans. Databases of digital scans and assessments and tools can grow in size but if the analyzer is continually stressed by shrinking timeframes, rising numbers of scans to report on, and, a growing sense that their skill is becoming less and less appreciated and traded for offshore participants ... inaccuracies, incompleteness, and incompetency of scan derived diagnoses can only continue to climb and sabotage healthcare delivery.
Quality: Misperceptions - Culture.
Q Index
DICOM addresses primarily information technology experts who have the necessary technical expertise to implement it. In contrast, practicing pathologists without a solid computer science background may not instantly appreciate the value of DICOM data models and communication protocols for their everyday work. This disconnect has resulted in an apparent lack of prioritization of interoperability, and vendors lack a compelling return on investment for building DICOM turn-key solutions.
There are several misperceptions among pathologists about the scope, applicability, and suitability of the DICOM standard. For example, DICOM is often perceived as being only an open file format for storage of image pixel data whereas the metadata integration, communication, and data exchange aspects are often disregarded. Recently (2018), the need to achieve interoperability of whole slide imaging between different systems has been emphasized by the Digital Pathology Association as well as the DICOM Working Group. ... adoption of the DICOM standard represents an opportunity (NOT a Reality) for pathology to leverage established enterprise medical imaging infrastructure and software solutions. Ultimately, a common data standard (could) enable convergence between radiology and pathology for multidisciplinary integrated diagnostics. ...
It is particularly important to mention the slide as a container because it generally also holds a label (with or without a barcode) for identification of the imaged tissue section specimen. There is a great variation between sites (laboratories) as to what information this label includes, ranging from identifiers of the patient, study, specimen, and/or container through human or machine-readable descriptive data such as the patient's name or the stain. In current pathology workflows, different sites and systems variously track studies, containers and/or specimens, depending on local standard operating procedures and naming-conventions. ...
On November 26, 2020, I received multiple image examinations at the Emergency Department of a Calgary, Alberta hospital (CT of Abdomen, Chest X-Ray, Ultrasound, Bili HIDA scan). As my current doctor's information was not available to send the results to, I was provided with a printed copy to forward to the. On the printout of a description and summary of all of these tests, the following caution was stated next to each.
"Images are not diagnostic.
Higher quality images are available in Zeroviewer and Impax."
In other words, the Emergency Department doctors and support technicians had only access to LOW resolution images and were only concerned with finding obvious, dramatic, easily illustrated problems such as broken bones, bleeding aneurysms, gallstones and kidney stones, calcified tumors and cysts. They would NOT see other SOFT tissue medical problems such as non-calcified tumors and cysts, some forms of cancer, parasite bundles blocking intestines or confounding organs. When I mentioned this and pointed it out to physicians, medical specialists, and technicians later ... I was uniformly met with attitudes and statements which reflected one or more of ...
- That cannot be true (although they declined to view the printed document),
- Our technicians (locally) provide us with actionable assessment,
- A blank stare followed by a change of subject.
As no one DARED to question what may have been a DEFAULT use of medical images, there could neither be an acknowledgement of same, a clarification of the procedures, feedback to allow for improved assessments, an acceptance of the limitations of such uses of the technology. That would mean that these multiple scans (and their additive exposures to RADIATION) would NEVER be assessed on a DIAGNOSTIC basis, regardless of their scan resolution. For those MEDICAL issues screened out of awareness in these experiences, if any of them were present ... and could be addressed for a better health outcome, NONE would be. In addition, the fact that I had received multiple scans would be used as a justification for NOT conducting ANY other scans, even though such might be assessed as RELEVANT ... because I had already been exposed to a personally judged maximum of Radiation for some undefined time period.
CULTURE is defined by ATTITUDES, VALUES, and BELIEFS its members are imprinted with, taught, and receive reinforcement from other members regarding. Those wanted to be, or remain, members of such a culture quickly learn what NOT to question. As more and more CHOICE become relegated to Authority biased assumptions, expectations, and projections ... the degree of creativity, openness, and innovation expressed by the members of the culture LESSEN. This is why many cultures become INCREASINGLY Fixed as they age ... and eventually Fail.
Quality: Terminology - Language.
Q Index
Innolitics, LLC put together an interactive and searchable representation of part 3 of the DICOM standard which defined all CIODs (Class Information Object Definitions). Innolitics is a team of medical imaging software developers who act as technology transfer specialists to get new technology on the market in a speedier way. The top nodes are CIODs, their children are modules, and their children are attributes. Essentially it is easier to understand and work with a technology if you know the language which is used to communicate its programmable actions.
What is usually lost or avoided from discussions of Image Resolution and Diagnostics is that Medical Scans can reduce, limit, or provide targeted exploratory and corrective surgeries by discerning specific medical problems. Surgeries are EXPENSIVE. Needless and Exploratory surgeries ... when a Corrective surgery could be done, or, when NO surgery might be required .. are wasteful of resources as well as patient recovery time, or even survival. HIGH Resolution medical image scans are NOT Relevant or more constructive than LOW Resolutions scans in many situations. Yet, if a Medical problem is highly suggested by definitive symptoms not allied with most other medical difficulties, and, a LOW resolution scan shows nothing to further define the problem, a HIGH Resolution scan might be the BEST route to finding a likely problem and SAVING money by NOT requiring EXPLORATORY Surgery.
In much of Canada, it appears that governments have limited the EFFICIENCY of their HEALTH Ministries by NOT providing HIGH Resolution capabilities to their physicians and medical specialists. There is an assumption that a GOOD technician or specialist can somehow perform as if they have the Advanced Tools, with the Basic ones. Of the admitted few technicians whom I directly questioned as to WHICH level of Resolution they were using for MY scan and if they could choose a HIGH resolution setting ... they ALL indicated a lack of awareness that there was or could be such a CHOICE, and conveyed that they were only aware of what was on their device and that was what they always used. IF a HIGH resolution setting was available, it would not be relevant, efficient (takes longer), or economical (costs more) to use it for ALL examinations.
If one is unaware of the terminology applicable to one's occupation and its tools, there will be a lack of awareness of what FEATURES, modules, and settings the tools have, or could have. Neither will the operator understand requests or comments from others about their technology about things they are unaware of. In such cases, even constructive feedback .. which could empower and further educate and improve the skill of the operator or assessment person ... will prove useless and fall into a vacuum.
Quality: Market Control.
Q Index
As one video presenter described it ...
DICOM works because everybody uses it.
If a device is not DICOM compliant, nobody is going to buy it in today's healthcare world.
This Market VALUE Perspective has proven many times through history that the resulting MONOPOLY proves to be destructive, deceptive, manipulative, and Addictive to the consumer ... NOT because of the Technology but because of the MOTIVATION applied by the OWNERSHIP. Often, owners have conferred their OBSESSIVE drive for success, acceptance, and profit onto the technology in terms of promoting to the public MORE than the technology can yet do. In taking a FOCUS on Number of Sales and Control of the market, they have placed Quality and Service, and Truth in the background ... and some would argue, even to their own FAILURE when the public want to leave the TECHNICAL problems behind. It doesn't have to be this way, yet, millionaires and billionaires have been rewarded for this treason against their species.
Bill Gates and Microsoft, as an obvious example amongst many, built WINDOWS on the lies that it was better than other options in Stability, Features, and Power. Particularly in its early days, for those of us who were there, early versions of WINDOWS proved to be notoriously Unstable, lacking in some of the Features exaggerated in the promotions, and, totally irresponsible in directly blaming the user for software failures which resulted from poor programming ... which was insufficiently tested and corrected before being pushed into the market and onto non-technical users wanting to simplify and amplify their workloads. Microsoft was managed to aggressively advertise that its Word Processing package and other applications were rated MUCH better than the competitors ... based on NO evidence. When that strategy did not capture the market and experienced users, Microsoft purchased the competitor and closed them down. VALUE and QUALITY do NOT win in a "Free" market which is controlled by MONEY.
Individuals and smaller corporations who sought legal action were confronted with sophisticated legal teams and the threat that they would be financially bankrupted by legal costs BEFORE reaching the courtroom ... by the delaying and complicating TACTICS of the Microsoft legal team. Bill Gate's father was a lawyer so legal concepts like this were a natural. Throughout the 1990's numerous European NATIONS took Microsoft to court, paid millions of dollars in legal fees, and won tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars in legal settlements from Microsoft. Those experiences tempered the Microsoft stance for a time until more deceptive Strategies and a compliant AI could be developed.
A MONOPOLISTIC strategy can only exist if it SUPPRESSES the innovation of other participants, economically destroys its competitors, and dominates the market with advertising fraud which individuals and small corporations cannot legally assault, and which government representatives will not pass regulations to reduce or limit ... because enough of them have been bribed by the protagonist. This has been a persistent AMERICAN approach to capitalism even though legislators sought periodically to limit such. Almost all American megacorporations, including those in oil, construction, legal services, consumer products, computer hardware, security, pharmaceuticals, politics .. and many others .. have succeeded, profitably, with these tactics.
DICOM is/was headquartered in Brazil. Corporations in other nations have been encouraged to follow the American example.
QUALITY is rarely synonymous in the market with BIGGEST.
DIAGNOSTICS.
Noted elsewhere, QUALITY of Assessment of images can greatly assist a Medical DIAGNOSIS.
While it highly depends upon the Experience, Awareness, and Professionalism of the Technician and the Medical staff involved, it also highly depends upon the hardware and software (technology) in terms of RELEVANT Resolution of the images. Scanning devices are sold with Basic Features to which can be added Upgrades and Special Tools. LOW resolution is a Basic. Higher levels of Resolution are usually Optional Extras. Institutions, especially those governed financially by POLITICAL owners, tend to buy the Basics and leave the Options so they can woo their voters with declarations of saving money, keeping budgets low, and being economical for the benefit of the voter. Most voters have NO understanding or realization of what this means.
Evidence: Athena DICOM Report - Legal Relevancy
ATHENA index
Legal Relevancy is understood in this document (Class Action) to be ..
- Applicable to MANY persons,
- Demonstrating a Consistency of application,
- Resulting in Injury by misapplication, delay, inaccuracies, errors,
- Determined by a resistance to, denial of, or rejection of complaints,
- A focus on Cost before Quality, Customer Service, or Effectiveness.
The REALITY that the polices and practices described above are accepted as NORMAL indicates that they are applied universally to ALL patients.
MOST Professions in Canada are internally regulated by Associations which provide memberships and accreditations according to training and experience. While this is formally applied through course completions, dues payments, customer feedback, and group support. There is often also an informal camaraderie shared through social events, annual meetings, newsletters, blogs, and personal contact ... which conveys long established cultural performance levels, attitudes, values, expectations, and, acceptance. This dynamic reinforces a CONSISTENCY in how tools are used, reports are written, and financial sources are respected.
With more than 10,000 Canadian dying EVERY year from drug conflicts, misprescriptions, physician and surgical incompetency, and errors or deficiencies in diagnoses ... may patients are harmed by the potential ingrained deficiencies of scan application and assessment.
While I have submitted Reports to AHS which applauded benefits and criticized deficiencies, I have NEVER received any response of acknowledgement, intention to follow through to confirm or deny such details, or any direction expected to improve services to patients. Consistently, when I have expressed concerns, disappointments, or diagnostic suggestions to AHS personnel, I have, with ONE exception, been ignored, denied, or, considered a complainer. I can only suspect that other patients have been responded to in a like manner. It is well documented in this report that many Canadians CHOOSE to go to other countries when they are denied potentially life saving MEDICAL treatment in their local province. Other become part of a QUIET class action which is minimized by LOW settlements out of court driven by government or medical industry organizations that act as bullies. The INCREASING level of chronic illnesses, disabilities, suicides, and declared sick times ... in most provinces over the past 4 DECADES also closely suggests that more RELEVANT medical diagnostic scan procedures and assessments could contribute to a DECREASE in these trends.
If a detailed summary of the numbers of scanning devices available in Alberta could be obtained from Alberta Health Service in which the operational FEATURES (such as Resolution settings and modules) were defined .. there would be a clear indication as to whether the province categorically opts to provide a LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH level of optional extras to either support or restrict the use of the devices and their effectiveness.
The demonstration of the above is a good indication of the likelihood of success of the class action suit, in the media, and in the courtroom.

Action: Evidence, Colon organism samples, 2018, 2019.
A Index
LINK: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/Colon images/
--- Online folder with subfolders of kinds of organisms ---
A large glass bottle with 4 litres of Isopropyl Alcohol in it is placed in a white plastic square pail, labeled "Surgery 2" and usually placed in my bathroom. During 2018 and 2019, I acquired a number of pathogens which were assisted by my challenged immune function.
During most of August 2016 to January 2021, my stool never transferred from my small intestine into my colon without an intestinal flush assistance. This was evidenced by my NOT having any intestinal gas during this period, which is normally produced by colon digestion, and, by the first flush result which cleared the colon and NEVER had any stool in it. With these initial flushes (a flush-out protocol usually involved at least 2 and often 3 water injections and releases) organisms were excreted into the clean toilet bowl water. These typically took the appearance of one of 3 pathogens. Seldom did more than one pathogen be present during periods of time. They had the appearance of biofilm, Aspergillus fungi, or, thread-like structures. Often, samples of these were collected and placed into the storage jar, which was then resealed.
Collection was effected using a small strainer, plastic container, and a chopstick.
These were cleaned after every use and stored back into the square pail that held the storage jar.
At some point, these samples could be taken to a university biology laboratory, or other diagnostic lab, where a payment could be offered and made for the verified determination of what organisms are present ...possibly on the basis of a dollar amount for each form identified in writing.
This confirmation of pathology could be used in evidence to demonstrate what forms of pathogens had to be coped with and contributed to additional health challenges because the original significant medical problems were never diagnosed and could thus not be effectively eliminated by medical means. These pathogens were either controlled or eliminated by the use of supplements, herbs, and the anti-Aspergillus drug, Manerix.
Dosages were determined by Spiritual Guidance with the skills developed and used by John R. Sennett and there was NEVER any indication of excessive use toxicity or symptoms. Often, the dosages of Manerix, when required, were much elevated from the usually suggested adult dose. It ALWAYS worked within 20 to 60 minutes to break up and release the block, as evidenced by what next was excreted. Failure to use these amounts failed to clear the Aspergillus blockages in the colon and between the colon and the small intestine. For stool to pass and not become auto-toxic these blockages had to be cleared when present. Auto-toxic symptoms included brain fog, fuzzy vision, fatigue, and blackout coma.
And yes, until I increased my awareness and response behaviors I made the error 3 times of waiting too long and passing out in the bathroom. When I revived there was no point in going to an Emergency Department. I had learned from earlier experiences that if I did not arrive there either bleeding or screaming or in the medical crisis state, the response would be that nothing could be found and that I was OK. It is a little difficult to call an ambulance if you have blacked out. And, would they even have listened to my REALITY check as to what the cause of the blackouts were. Repetitive experiences conveyed a consistent "NO".

A Index
LINK: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/PER/c-dunne-j-j.htm
The extensive profile noted above details many examples of distortion of medical FACTS entered into an authoritarian patient digital medical resources available to all Canadian Emergency Department personnel as well as most doctors. Patients are often unaware that this database exists and have no access to the records kept on them. There is no monitoring of the data entered to screen out opinion, prejudice, projection, superstition, or, ignorance.
Like much of North American society, doctors are culturally trained and rewarded for speed reading documents which studies continually reference as yielding 20% of the content remembered, and, believing that that represents 100% of the findings. This encourages a desperation black-and-white interpretation of what appears dramatic with a blocking out of qualifying adjectives and phrases such as "it may be," "I believe it is," nothing of interest was found," "this person appears to be."

PER/2016-11-12--Diagnosis--a-BC-patient.htm
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.
(There are a number of detailed sections including Medical History, Symptoms, Tests & Scans, Medical Routines, Possible Solutions to Resolve health problems, a Disclaimer section, a Bottom Line Conclusion, and, a Victim Impact Statement, summarized below.
Section: Justice: Victim Impact Statement.
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.

PER/2018-11-30--John%20R.%20Sennett%20at%20Chinook%20Hospital.htm
The focus of this brief comprises the experiences which I, as a patient, recently experienced, AND, feedback which will provide options for an improved client-centred service ... which could increase respect and effectiveness, enhance health recovery times, and could decrease longer-term service expense.
My contact with this institution and its personnel and policies reflects an authority biased service which imposes medical procedures, projective diagnoses, pharmaceuticals, and obligations on the clients of the service. Briefs, like this one are denied, avoided, and not encouraged by the mere fact that there are no e-mail addresses which I could find to which a brief from a patient could be offered. This is an insult to the integrity and capabilities of all patient-clients. It suggests that clients have no relevant experience, skills, or awareness from which administrative, organizational, research, communication, or compassion suggestions could be made to improve structures mandated by and for the providers who project policies from a non-client perspective.
If those who receive this brief do not forward it on to personnel who set and evaluate policy and those who elect to manage the carrying out of those policies, then you will be responsible for the failure of any consideration of the difficulties, concerns, and hazards shared here and will dutifully and unfortunately either experience personally or by way of a family or friend's exposure the continuation of uneconomic and disrespectful service as you come to require and request them.

Action: Evidence, Monograph for Aspergillosis fungus.
A Index
LINK: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/t-aspergillosis.htm
This Resource includes an outline of the different forms of Aspergillus pathologies, its diagnosis, and treatments.
These are all complicated by the focus of provincial health services on economics rather than recovery, and, on pharmaceutical approaches to secondary pathologies, like cancers. It is only in 2020 that MEDICAL research has begun on Aspergillus, a constantly associated pathogen present with ALL gastrointestinal cancers and one for which there are no EFFECTIVE medication treatments, except Manerix (Moclobemide) ... which they never prescribe because they are unaware of the 2003 medical research report specifying it, will not read such report when it is made available to them, and it is not noted for such benefits in the AHS drug reference which they worship.
Action: Evidence, Monograph for Echinococcus multilocularis.

b-Echinococcus%20multilocularis.htm
This Resources summarizes and reformats a number of media articles concerned with the parasite, its invasiveness, its typical lack of diagnosis in Canadian occurrences, and, the symptoms of its pathology. It is also misdiagnosed often and maltreated until fatal. Other animals have also been common hosts and may act as sources to human contamination. These include deer, wolves, foxes, dogs, others, and, their excrement.
While this monograph was available from early 2020, and was referenced to various physicians in the intervening time, it might be revealing to question them as to why NONE of them ever read it, considered the possible MEDICAL problems associated with an infestation, read the monograph about it on the AHS website (which I noted), or did ANYTHING to test for the presence of this pathogen or do anything about it.

It provides updated information on research and article written and connects such clotting pathologies to cancers and parasites more closely.
It appears contradictory that I should be assessed, on two occasions, with widely different symptoms to have blood clots in my lungs, yet, the Respirologist examining my 2021 chest x-rays and ultrasound found that there was NO evidence of my ever having these and that my lung tissues were "Pristine". At the same time(February, 2021), I was increasingly experiencing acute shortness of breath, wheezing, and gurgling sounds when breathing ... ALL of which DIRECTLY relate to medical lung problems.

I put together this Resource as it seemed contradictory that I was diagnosed with one or more lung scars in my early 20's, that they are regarded by the health services industry as being unrecoverable and even pathological, and, that there has been NO mention of them in scan assessments over the past decade.
This does summarize a number of articles regarding how to diagnose these, what is technically necessary to assess them, associated pathologies, unique alternative therapies, and a list of Insights for a Quick awareness of some of the significant findings.
Action: Evidence, Monograph for Intestinal Peristalsis.
A Index
LINK: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/a-peristalsis-intest.htm
This monograph was assembled for a better and more complete understanding of intestinal peristalsis as, first, I had not seemed to have had any for the previous 3 years, and, secondly, a GI surgeon I was referred to revealed a complete ignorance of the behavior both with a simplistic understanding, and, with an incorrect understanding. This seemed shocking to me at the time that something so fundamental to the practice of his profession could have received such medical training, and, still remain so ignorant.
As I came to be aware of in assembling this monograph, Intestinal Peristalsis has MANY contributing influences, some of which, if out-of-balance can result in death.
A few Insights bring out some significant factors, and, the importance of Oxygen to its healthful activity. I have been experiencing shortness of breath (oxygen starvation) since I suddenly put on 30 pounds of weight and mass in my abdomen in August, 2016.
As the inability for Mr Sennett to normally and regularly evacuate his colon of stool, or for stool to ever be present in his stool for almost the continuous period of August 2016 to February, 2021, would seem to indicate a problem with peristaltic activity of the GI, why is it that no Physician or Medical Specialist EVER looked into this abnormality and NEVER made any effort to remedy it. When a double adult dose of intestinal flushing medication had NO effect on Mr Sennett's bowel habits, whereas ONE dose often produces explosive diarrhea in other adults, the Medical problem was NOT constipation.
Action: Evidence, Monograph for Tachycardia.
A Index
LINK: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/a-tachycardia.htm
This is another potentially complex behavior which can result from one or more, or many influences. These many change over time in number and presence. While many sufferers are aware of the dramatic and consciously aware expression of tachycardia, few are aware that it can equally be a Quiet version which is almost undetectable without technology ... though just as dangerous.
Many lifestyle choices, treatments, and many beneficial supplements are detailed.
A number of Charts summarize the findings in easy to acquire format.
Room has been left to eventually add a number of Insight LINKS.
Why did both Family Physicians and Medical Specialists repeatedly minimize this often critical medical symptom, while at the same time sometimes being alerted to its danger, yet doing nothing about it. How is it that a number of tests run on the functioning of Mr Sennett's heart NEVER found an abnormality of heart function when he was experiencing STRONG tachycardia symptoms, and that specialist's reported that his heart was "normal" when he had these and other adverse heart function symptoms and had been diagnosed with a LARGER than normal heart in his early 20's ... now often considered a sign of a weak or stressed heart?

Stones in Gall Bladder, Pancreas, Kidneys, Liver.
This monograph outlines lifestyle changes, including diet and behavior modifications.
Methods of diagnosis and treatment as well as non-surgical removal of them is outlined.
An instance is noted where a subject died in less than 2 weeks from a non-painful, non-diagnosed e-coli complication.
Repeatedly, between 2017 and 2021, scans of the belly of Mr Sennett were assessed as indicating that his Gall Bladder was packed with stones, and more recently in late 2020, that the stones had an odd composition ... which is often taken to indicate some form of parasite. While at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary on November 26/7, 2020, he was readied for Gall Bladder surgery, only for it to be withdrawn at the last minute because it did not address ALL of the medical pathology symptoms he was experiencing, and, that he was old.
Why did AHS representatives charged with addressing illness symptoms and offering and doing surgery in such instances REFUSE to consider doing their job, and when they did consider it as necessary, not proceed with it?

What is present when a person goes to see their health provider is neither the responsibility or error of a previous service. That would be the same as a person taking their car into a repair garage in Alberta and the manager there declaring that the last repair garage visited by the car owner in British Columbia should have fixed the flat tire even though the vehicle owner could not have traveled the intervening distance if the tire had been as flat as it is now when the vehicle left the British Columbia home address.
Diverting Responsibility is a frequent way of ALARMING a patient and INCREASING the image of Power and Perfection conveyed of oneself.
-
Did not go to the Emergency Department frequently enough.
D Index
If an ill person goes to an Emergency Department a number of times and each time they must wait a LONG time and then are subjected to ridicule, denial, and authoritarian conclusions, EVERY time, of which NONE are helpful and of which some are even potentially health diminishing ... why would they eagerly return for more abuse and health risk? Is it reasonable to expect that by wasting time and energy in hopes of benefits from what consistently is demonstrated to be an uncaring processing facility driven by simplistic analysis and a denial of what the patient strongly considers to be the problem from their experience and research into similar medical issues?
John R. Sennett was told by one Emergency Department physician that he did not want to hear anything about Parasites! Another took a brief look at significant skin blotches and declared, without ANY tests that the patient should take Prednisone, an immune system depressant ... and that was the ONLY option to be offered ... take it or leave it. A further Emergency Department physician, when invited to push on the abdomen of Mr. Sennett to confirm that his noticeably enlarged belly was FIRM and not indicative of excess fat tissue, he was told that his condition was not an emergency department concern and that he was wasting their time. On yet another occasion, Mr. Sennett attended the Emergency Department with SEVERE pain which disabled his ability to stand or walk. After a number of External tests, he was sent home with no issue found and told to take some pain medication. He had to return the next day with even worse symptoms which were eventually discovered many hours later, after many tests that were inconclusive and expensive ... by a doctor NOT in the emergency department ... to be the result of a pinched nerve in the spine. It took that doctor 10 minutes to confirm the finding with some experienced manipulation with his hands, at almost NO cost and no complex testing.
The overall experience of Mr. Sennett was that even if he had DRAMATIC symptoms, any meaningful diagnosis and beneficial treatment would be suspicious and risky and that it was best to AVOID the Emergency Department until one had what might appear to be an OBVIOUS life threatening condition.
-
Physicians were the problem; they did not act professionally.
D Index
Institutions, when found to be negligent, are fast to pass the blame down the responsibility chain to their employees, and even better if they can convey all the blame to a single person. Yet, AHS provides the defining policies which the doctors and technicians must adhere to or risk dismissal. There is no rule of allowable personal innovation beyond such strict guidelines so they appear to be enforceable regulations and workplace laws.
Some of these regulations, mirrored in the comments of staff, are that specific tests must be used in an ascending order of cost. While an MRI might be the most Relevant test to propose, it cannot be considered until an X-Ray, Ultrasound, and CT scan are performed FIRST. These often involve delays of days or longer between their availability so that getting an MRI may be delayed by weeks, or even months, before being given. This can allow a serious medical condition to become fatal, or, for more medical issues to arise and complicate any findings. Mr. Sennett was also told on several visits that complex findings often led to confusion because more costly tests that could clarify and pinpoint problems were not allowed to be requested due to their cost.
Directives that limit physicians to less costly and less productive tests, or no tests at all, change the function of a physician into that of a TECHNICIAN who follows diagnostic procedures confined to degrees of COST rather than to degree of RELEVANCY. This limitation of and mandate of what the physician can do and in which order is the responsibility of the institution as the possible CHOICES of the doctor have been downgraded to least effective strings ... which often lead to greatly DELAYED, and often ERRONEOUS conclusions which also, too often, lead to the prescribing of drugs, which because of the poor foundation for their selection, either lead to further health complications, or, fatality.
Where an institution places a degree of trust in the experienced Choices of its professionals, constructive health assistance can be offered with optimal recovery times and longer-term reduced costs when compared to the more authoritarian approach of micro-managing by cost.
-
You can't expect perfection on a budget sensitive to the voters. .
D Index
Yes, this is a demonstrated and fundamental attitude of ineffective health service provision directed by where the next DRAMATIC source of failure that reaches public awareness comes from. If the politicians determining the health services budget accepted the REALITY of Current healthcare NEEDS from the staff who are attending to them, AND, conveyed these Truths to the electorate, the voter could then confidently support higher budgets when such were demanded by EFFECTIVE and Efficient approaches to medical care.
Treating the electorate as helpless, ignorant, self-centred CHILDREN effectively holds back an electorate who could support scientifically affirmed expenditures. They remain children, emotionally and in awareness, so ... can only support simplistic policies that are often built on political party competition that too often is subject to FEAR encouraged by lies, manipulated facts, and, deceptive use of statistics. The general population is continually encouraged to adopt sociopathic attitudes rather than the community supporting empathic ones.
Voters can support and expect improved levels of healthcare services, but only if they are made aware of the REALITIES present, the potential ways of resolving difficulties, and, an EXPERIENCED evaluation as to which methods, trends, and specifics are best employed in the short-term and utilized in the longer-term. Unfortunately, it is historically difficult to take a population that has been manipulated, deceived, and imposed upon and increase their reasoning skills beyond superstition and myth to known, yet changeable fact. Still, the patient cannot be held responsible for a poor level of services available to them because they did not elect better politicians if they have been consistently told that those in Power know best, and, that they know nothing.
Ultimately, the healthcare we get is an extension of the decisions of (inexperienced) politicians catering to (ignorant) voters to finance the (minimum) cost of the tools (time, tests, drugs, scientific studies, patient history, device capabilities) which (educated, indoctrinated) physicians and surgeons are allowed (by restrictions & regulations) to utilize to (guess) diagnose and (magically) treat the patient.

Complex health problems are always difficult to resolve.
D Index
This is the reasoning of persons who are Losers, Lazy, Ineffectual, Lacking in Experience, and, far above their level of Earned Authority. Those who have Relevant Experience have dealt with a range of problems formerly, including Complex problems. They are aware of the often increasing breadth of contributing factors which can influence the outcome of any strategy and the tactics taken to apply it.
With an awareness of the diagnostic and review options applicable to specific complex problems, EXPERIENCED persons with a degree of FREEDOM to act on those experiences can lead to Quickly RESOLVED outcomes to complex problems. Those who only have an experience of Simplistic problems never expand their mental flexibility and repertoire to engage complex problems with tried and effective strategies indicated as necessary by the problem presenting. The institution and any employer, gets the level of Expertise which they ALLOW and encourage. That results in a level of Service Optimization that benefits all parties involved. The alternative is to pivot towards the "good enough" attitude of doing the least that will TECHNICALLY be acceptable, yet will often result in failure.
When I was in a recovery ward in the Scarborough General Hospital in Ontario after what could have been a simple, short surgery with a short recovery time ... which ended in Disaster for MY health and extended Costs for the health services, I observed the predicament and outcome of another patient. When I arrived, he was an older (compared to me at the time, likely in his 60s) patient who had bladder problems. He had just RETURNED to the hospital by ambulance after being released and sent home after his 4th surgery in 3 weeks. He was home for less than 2 days when he lapsed into an emergency, again. He was brought back, received a 5th surgery to address out-of-control infection and blood loss. After 1-1/2 days he was sent home by ambulance, against the wishes of his family. Two hours after arriving home, he died. The first 4 surgeries were to address a bladder MEDICAL problem. At the end of the first, the surgeons found a secondary problem they had neither anticipated or prepared for. They sewed him up, did their research and preparation and re-operated. The 2nd surgery ended in the same way: a possible complication they had not prepared for and which a good diagnosis would have revealed. And so on, with the 3rd and 4th surgeries. CHEAP and QUICK had become EXPENSIVE, LONG, RISKY, and, ultimately ... DEADLY.
Not everything is complex, or, simple.
ONLY planning for the simple predicts FAILURE with the Complex, almost always.
Expecting the Complex can change a Simple problem into Failure by Denial of the obvious.
Health problems do not need to be made complex through delay, poor diagnosis, denial, lack of preparation, or the use of irrelevant tools used by persons lacking in experience, awareness, and knowledge.

The medical records software company is at fault.
D Index
Most software companies put a disclaimer in their contracts which indicates that the user of the software is responsible for how the software they have written for the buyer uses the software and for any negligence or problems arising from its use. In specialized fields, like Medical Software, the software maker often promotes their service on the basis that they are familiar with the field, in this case, MEDICAL, and so have taken into account any specialized requirements that apply to such a field. This would likely include codes for drugs, procedures, and tests. There would also be a time format in accord with the country and location of the use of the application. Privacy considerations would be included. Accuracy would be another concern.
What remains of significant value here is whether Meditech made ANY provisions which would encourage the use of, or mandate the use of a Content Moderator to ensure that prejudicial comments could be and would be excluded from the medical records database. If the buyer did not stipulate this requirement, misuse by the inclusion of personal comments may be their responsibility to oversee and exclude, or, at the very least, to tag with a warning to the reader. If the software company did not have their programmers provide for this request, or, if the request was not made and the software company did not include such cautions, warnings, or enable such supervised scrutiny of reports ... then it may be responsible for any misuse.
The point in the class action suit is that there WAS definitive misuse of the database records for John R. Sennett, both by the inclusion of personal and prejudicial comments by a doctor, and, by the speed reading and habits of such readers to take variable terms (may) and mentally convert them to and remember them as Absolutes (will). This was the case in which Dr. Dunne presumes that Mr Sennett does not use prescription drugs, even though the records highly dispute this, and, that Mr Sennett might benefit from psychological counselling, an unsupported opinion ... which supports Dr Dunne's lack of review of specific tests that he mandated. Together, these ERRORS encouraged physicians reading the reports, at later times, to MINIMIZE the descriptions and requests of Mr Sennett for medical care, and, to avoid any review of written documents he did present in hopes of assisting them in making accurate diagnoses ... which they NEVER did.
ALL forms of written records are subject to the expression of personal opinions by the authors.
Self-mediation can benefit the RELEVANCY of the report if the author SUPPORTS their Beliefs with reproducable test results, repetitively derrived scientific studies, acknowledgement of the biases of the author, inclusion of other possibilities commonly reached and why these were excluded, as well as a definition of the health history of the person revealing what they have done, if anything, to reach a resolution. More EFFECTIVELY, an experienced MODERATOR can ensure the integrity of all such reports. NEITHER of these perfecting tactics have been used in either Alberta or B.C. to the experience of Mr. Sennett.
-
This person is just obsessed with doctors being negative. .
D Index
John R. Sennett has considered that of the dozens of doctors and specialists that he has been exposed to, he considers at least 6 as being Professional. That is, in the extended time that he had with them he found that they were SINCERELY interested in his return to health and recovery from his medical condition or conditions. They communicated with him in a respectful manner, they were strong enough in maturity and self esteem to be humble and request the assistance of others when indicated as best, and they took the time, as best they were allowed, to obtain enough historical detail and symptom breadth to enable them to make intelligent and constructive decisions. These included:
-
1970s, Dr. Verna D.H. Hunt, Chiropractor, Ontario
-
1980s, Dr. Avi Sussman, Chiropractor, Ontario
-
2000, 2002, Dr, Anand, Hemorrhoid Surgeon, Oak Ridges, Ontario
-
2017 to 2021, Dr. Chelsea Power, Chiropractor, Lethbridge, Alberta
-
2018, Dr. Eugene Plotnyk, Hospitalist, Lethbridge, Alberta
-
2021, Dr. Iffat Waheed, Family Physician, Lethbridge, Alberta
What may be noted is that in his 75 years of experience, he has RARELY encountered a Family Physician, in any province, who demonstrated more of an interest in his RECOVERY than in their finalizing their Health Services checklist of what they were required to do, in the order it had been imposed on them, for them to be retained as employees and be paid. There are also few surgeons noted, as, in his experience, almost all of the surgeons he encountered left him in a WORSE medical condition than he went to them with, sometimes on a permanent basis. They were generally lacking in an ability to prepare the patient for the procedure they were going to do, lacked the humility to acknowledge and learn from their mistakes, lacked ANY empathy for the patient and the pain and suffering they had imposed upon them, and generally exhibited a lack of experienced skills such that they made significant errors that would, hopefully, be normally avoided.
Over many decades, and in many locations and countries, Mr. Sennett has used the services of more than 20 chiropractors. In a field which has a great variability in developed skill, adopted additional modalities, extent of full-range health awareness, and communication skills, he has found relatively few that he would refer others to ... yet, he has Great Respect for those who stood out.
A Significant Factor, as conveyed to Mr. Sennett, by behavior and admission, on numerous occasions, was that the TRAINING and REGULATION of medical personnel, within the budgetary controls imposed by the respective Provincial Authority, and, by the Medical Association which mandated the education and training of such persons, as well as the MYTHS imposed on the public by a mass media interested more in drama and sales than in Reality and Skill development ... REWARDED such sanctioned medical workers for diagnosing by (snap decision) superstition, ignoring the requests of patients (disrespect), imposing prescription drugs BEFORE affirming their relevancy with testing (non-scientific), and failing to refer to other more experienced and skilled personnel (Pride of Authority) when such was relevant. These HIGHLY influential restrictions and rewards on any profession is a high predictor of Efficient Failure rather than of Quality of Assistance. These are the ETHICS, applied for over 100 years, to deliver Cheap, Inefficient, Garbage rather than Relevant, Economical, Value.
It was the experience and researched finding of Mr. Sennett, that the Political and Cultural BELIEFS that founded and have maintained, and have denied CHANGE for Improvement in medical service, in some, and likely all, Canadian Provinces has maintained health benefits for the few who have singular acute health problems, and, has enabled those with complex, chronic medical problems to needlessly suffer for long periods, be condemned to working with disabilities which could have been remedied, or die prematurely.

A Politically Sanctioned Monopoly, Organized Crime in Disguise.
Alberta Health Services is a Provincial politically sanctioned healthcare monopoly.
It shares many features with Monopolies and Organized Crime Syndicates:
-
Promote to the Audience (Needy).
M Index
With the American marketing desperation (euphemistically referred to as "competition") beginning in the 1950's, the field of and findings of psychology research and theory were subverted to be used AGAINST humans for the benefit of Corporations and their shareholders, executives, and stock market manipulators. Research was conducted to determine what the public, or specific sectors of the marketplace, regarded as important Values on which they would accelerate (buy before needed) and stimulate their purchasing decisions. Individuals would become millionaires, and later billionaires, by telling their prospects what they were confident the prospect wanted in a particular device ... even though they would know that their product or service could not yet provide those features in a dependable way, or at all.
This was all about selling the "Sizzle" of fantasy rather than the specifics of Reality. With market success, over stimulated economy, over indebted economic slavery, and, exaggerated Profits for the few ... the Ethic of Greed, Fraud, and Deception has been promoted as the ONLY way to succeed in business. There were other ways of doing business which offered truth, integrity, quality, and partnership, but, their participants were busy DELIVERING rather than PROMOTING.
For those who make the effort to determine and become aware of what the Reality is about, in Healthcare Services and products, there has been a similar progression from offering what one can deliver, and, telling the public what you are confident they want to hear regarding the services that are available, and, that they can easily receive. With very few exceptions, individuals who have been denied, abused, deceived, injured, or "euthenised" through neglect by a provincial medical system seldom receive attention by the media or courts. This further encourages the weaknesses, and inefficiencies of such systems to remain hidden, accepted as a norm, and, promoted through management and staff levels ... "Everybody does it!" For the politicians who grants the budgets, which encourage the setting of irrelevant standards and practices to "Save" money, the Goal is to deliver to the vote providing public what they want: Low or lower taxes for a perceived to be Quality system of services. Again, it is all about the MONEY, not the legitimacy (truth, honesty, accuracy, relevancy) of the service.
It takes an education LACKING in an awareness of and skills regarding what business requires and the ways in which it works. Only an economically illiterate population could expect and BELIEVE that by cutting a budget one could maintain Quality. And, through cartoon quality advertising, the population could be sustained in an aura of "You can be as good-happy-included as the advert character as soon as you BUY what the have."
-
Manage Supply with Exclusive Contracts.
M Index
Organized Crime requires a Stable supply of products or service agents if they are going to Control the market.
An unstable supply invites customers to seek their addiction fix from an alternate supplier who will be a competitor. That provider may offer special services or pricing which encourages the user-customer to return to the new source in the future. This is devastating for the monopolist if they are ordering product to serve what they consider a predictable market ... return customers. Now transactions threaten to become unstable and erratic for the monopolist. For them, supply must be stable, and for that to happen they must be careful in their selection of supplier. For long-term dependability and presence, the supplier must NOT be desperate.
DESPERATE persons make short-term decisions and promises that they often cannot replicate into the longer future. The monopolist must fully understand the full extent of the supply line and must be capable and willing to support a potentially loyal and productive supplier with the capital, technology, training, and protection required, if that becomes necessary. That also means paying bribes, threatening middle-of-the-line agents if same become demanding and slow in their functions. You are either in full support of the operations of the syndicate, or, you are a weak link, obstructionist, selfish, troublemaker.
The Provincial Health Services bureaucracy, both in Alberta and many other provinces, from the experience of myself and others, works much the same. Their Budget, once set by politicians and administered by bureaucrats, must be adhered to. There is little flexibility after an annual political budget is agreed to, for change. Changes are made but they take the form, often, of restricting some services availability in favor of providing more of others. If only so many CT scans are budgeted for the year and the number is approaching the limit, one strategy is to extend the Waiting times for certain surgeries, or even for access-appointments to Specialists. Another strategy to to change the threshold of what is considered to be a treatable or danger level for a blood or other test and its multiple test outcomes.
If someone decides to allow fewer Gastroenterology surgeries done, simply extend the appointment times to the Specialist. If more patient die before anything can be done, there is less Demand, and, costs go down. Another strategy I have seen used is to only have the Specialist work 1 or 2 days a week, and be on emergency standby for 4 or 5 days. Appointment times must become longer as the doctor can only handle so many patients in one shift. Another strategy is to selfishly rationalize WHY a surgery cannot be done. I have a neighbour who had to wait for 5 years to have hip surgery. The rationale was that if she had the surgery before retirement she would just wear it out and only have 1 additional surgery left in the lifetime limit of 2 surgeries. So, she had to work and live in agony until she was so disabled that she was forced to retire. Then, she immediately became a candidate for surgery. Of course, if she had received the surgery sooner, she could have remained working longer, helping more people, financially supporting herself and paying taxes, and, having a much better life until she possibly died within 5 years after retirement. Cost, NOW, comes first, then the patient. There are many similar strategies of DELAY, DENIAL, and, ABUSE.
But what about the INSIDE ... the employees, physicians, specialists, support staff?
There may be an employees union yet it has no awareness of the HIDDEN behavioral policies or unspoken ethics.
Members have accepted the Routines of what is deemed necessary and acceptable, so it is all "Normal" for them. If they want the job, they know that you do what management expects. The nail that stands out above the others is the one that gets hit. So, professionalism and doing one's best are out the door. One becomes a technician, following lists of Accepted test sequences, questions to patients, and provision of services. Personal integrity and self-esteem are gone; you become a clone, or, you are gone for some minor infraction of the rules. And after all, every one of your teammates and support staff mirror the ethic of "Just do what is necessary." It is a predictable, safe, and stress reduced life if one cares only about the deadlines and practice guidelines, and, NOT about the patient as more than a PASSING thing. When there is nowhere else to ply your hard earned training than ONE employer, most people follow orders, implied or not.
Politics, or rather the degradation of politics from negotiation to bribery, unfortunately in the human rule whenever the numbers of persons exceed a certain number, and especially when the political representative can extend their position longer than ONE term. As soon as one can lobby for multiple terms of Power, a large part of their efforts becomes devoted to raising monies for campaigns for re-election, receiving bribes from lobbyists, and giving bribes for consideration. Bribes are not just money. They frequently take the form of deciding which way a person votes. Deciding who receives a bid, what unnecessary charges and extras are included in a government contract, deciding WHO is appointed or hired into government employment, and, deciding who is going to provide sexual or home construction service ... can all become bribes. If you are going to maintain your position as an administrator, support person, or doctor ... you had better make the system work. And, that means staying within budget, often at the expense of patience and Quality of Service.
-
Closely confine the actions of Associates/Doctors.
M Index
In organized crime, the "workers" are given very specific responsibilities and are not informed about or asked to participate in other skill areas. A Pusher is not asked to violently threaten the customer; a Murderer is not tasked with supervising prostitutes. This segregation of duties and responsibilities safeguards the overall organization of and wide range of contacts from the knowledge of any non-executive, and, no "worker" need be challenged ethically with knowledge about areas and operations of some part of the business they are in that they might be tempted to sabotage.
In my experience, almost every doctor I have contacted regarding anything more complicated than a cut, burn, broken bone ... has either ignored the concern (look away, ask if there are any other concerns), offered a reactive superstitious prescription option, or noted that it is not their area of expertise, AND, almost never consider or offer a referral to a Specialist or other doctor or modality. In the few times that I have been referred to a Specialist, it is most often their limitation that any consideration of anything beyond the narrowest interpretation of their field is, and they also express that they do not want to know about it, or, that it is not their field. As ONE example, a Dermatologist was totally uninterested in the possibility that a possible small intestine cancer, or a systemic parasite, might be the cause for dark red skin blotches that no suggested pharmaceutical had had ANY influence on for the previous 18 months.
-
Control Communications between team members.
M Index
Organized crime is a clear example of Authoritarian Structure, often at its simplest.
Responsibility AND Authority is placed within each LEVEL of Command with there being no overlap between levels.
There is NO Confusion between the POWER of a Father, Don, Boss, Commander, Chief, Master, Kingpin, and,
their Lieutenant, Murderer, Robber, Dealer, Terrorist, Professional,
or their Soldier, Ruffian, Persuader, Hires, delivery person.
The further up the ladder of Power, the more Absolute are your requests and preferences ... which are understood by all of lesser power to be Commands, delegated Tasks, and Actions that you will be judged on. NO, to any perceived request means a loss of membership. Loss of membership is equaled to loss of loyalty and lead to Termination (of Life), or Penalty (injury to self or others valued, threat to enforce secrecy, torture, ...)
Persons at different levels of authority and complexity of task are expected to only be concerned with and to accentuate their skill in the level they exist at organizationally. Knowing how everything dovetails into a working whole is both unnecessary for their performance responsibilities, and, DANGEROUS to those with greater levels of Power. If I know how the whole organization works, yet, I am at a low level of task and authority, I may elect to start my own Competing Organization, sell the "confidential" details to law enforcers or competitors for personal benefit, or, begin exerting "moral or ethical" constraints, confusion, doubt, delay, or frustrations amongst other workers and at the expense and growing WEAKNESS of the Organization. Such LEAKS are plugged. Others become aware of it. If you don't want to be "Plugged" you learn to keep to yourself and ignore, deny, or doubt the REALITY of what others are doing.
In much of Corporate, and in all of Currency-driven organized business, an Authoritarian Structure is also present. It can be more flexible in practice than the criminal one, yet, the unconscious or unspoken beliefs involved almost always highly suggest a similar level of Power, if the individual chooses to utilize it.
Confusion can develop between levels of Authority, but these are often an extension of political, prejudicial, compromising, personality, abusive, co-dependency, or ambitious influences of individuals in relationships. A Confident secretary or assistant may engage others with more authority than their boss because the boss is inadequate in their skill level, communication style, sociability, setting of limits, or other management abilities to Effectively and Efficiently perform their tasks without the input of the Support Person. They work as a Team in practice, though their stated degree of position power, and income, differ widely. This dynamic, when present, is usually tactfully expressed such that individuals in other positions only take note of WHAT is accomplished and give the credit to the person who is Believed to be the Leader. Direct, explosive, aggressive, or "public" expression of any disagreements between such co-dependent PAIRS often results in the dismissal of the one who holds the lower level of task responsibility.
In the Provincial Health Services business, there is a realization that those who set and control the BUDGET determine all levels of Quantity and Quality of service, in principle, through the entire organization. Where money is the MAIN consideration, everything is converted into NUMBERS at the senior decision making levels of Authority. Often, a second level authority delegated bureaucrat will periodically assess how many CT Scans, hip replacements,and some form of specific lab test can be ALLOWED within the annual budget. Staff become aware of these numbers. If they request too many, there may be NONE left for later in the cycle, or, for someone they find more in need of, yet have arrived too late. If and when such happens, and depending upon how Persuasive the lower level (only a doctor or surgeon) is, numbers may be subtracted from some other process to build up the deficient one. Then, look out for the disgust flows downhill.
If a budget has been challenged in how it was itemized, the negativity is reflected back upon the Medical community as to WHO has been wasting the tests, operations, or other items? Everyone eventually knows that the feelers are out to find anyone who is requesting a test or surgery too often ... on presumably less than meritorious reasons. Yet, what if the reasons ARE justified and the physician is simply being PROFESSIONAL and sincere in their caring. Forget that, if you are going to stay on the team, you will follow the established culture and become a TECHNICIAN ... going through the motions and checklists that someone senior to you have told you is regular and efficient Practice. Or, do you want to work elsewhere ... when the only other ELSEWHERE is another province, or, country.
Members of Parliament, Ministry Leader, bureaucratic support staff, Association Heads, Managers, and Directors all hold the top posts in the Provincial Medical Services hierarchy. And, most have never trained or worked in the health care services industry at ANY level of participation. They just do a good job of promoting themselves, integrating business principles derived from larger countries with even LOWER quality health services, and, following the established interaction patterns of their team colleagues in terms of talking, rationalizing, excusing, complaining, talking, justifying, dramatizing, negotiating, instituting, talking, reforming, demanding, organizing, presenting, and, more talking. Seldom are they in contact with any medical RESEARCH, front line medical EXPERIENCE, or, true Statistics.
The bottom feeders, technicians, physicians, nurses, non-medical therapist and alternative health enhancement providers are the scapegoats who the media (TV, radio, movies, magazine, newspapers) push forward as the poster children of health for the citizen public. Most of the public (taxpayers) actually think that this level of participation and authority are the ones with the power. This is like the American "War on Drugs" making the street corner pusher the target of their billions of dollars "catch-and-imprison" strategy which yielded the highest NATIONAL level of incarcerations worldwide, a continually expanding narcotics blackmarket, a continually HIGH level of the population being treated for Depression, and the greatest bribery industry known. There would have been much earlier and more stable success in minimizing this CRIMINAL industry if the CITIZEN had been given some HOPE for their lives through Justice, Civil Rights, Individual Worth, and, Poverty reduction ... but that just upsets the AUTHORITY structure that mandates that PRIVILEGE sets the Rules for the Credit-Slaves.
-
Destroy all Competition, by Force/Regulations.
M Index
Organized Crime uses the FORCE of threat, brutality, abandonment, addiction, extortion, and murder to enforce their monopoly. Governments use the FORCE of regulation to Deny competition while restricting those who work for it to practice in unethical, yet Commercially relevant ways ... if you only assess by Short-term results.
A criminal organization sets enforceable boundaries on its "turf."
It will provide illegal services and products within this area and Vertical (single service) market.
Concentration of prospects within an area enables a more effective and controlled presentation to the prospects available as well as a more consistent and more dependable INCOME from the area. If six solicitors-hustlers-pimps manage 30 prostitutes in a turf region then the PROFITS from this industry are divided. They are also minimized by the presence of 5 alternate desperate competitors who may offer service discounts, accessory products such as drugs, and, pander to customers in return for repeat business. Cut out the competition and one can take ALL the Profits from an area, control pricing, manipulate customers, abuse service agents, and, deceive prospects ... and NEVER have any Complications with their business.
If you CONTROL all of a particular business (paid for) service or product (drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc) it is easier to internally control the sources and even to obtain source services and products at a mass purchase savings ... which means greater Profits, and, even less chance of any competition arriving or considering to participate in the market. If such adversaries should be so aggressive, and desperate or greedy to attempt an incursion then the "Syndicate" simply uses violence to "teach" the newcomers who is the boss ... who sets the Rules and Boundaries. These principles are mirrored in the Provincial Medical Services market in many Canadian provinces.
In most, if not all, Canadian Provinces, ONLY government provided Medical services are legal.
Any direct competition is ILLEGAL. For those, including government leaders and bureaucracy officials, who have the MONEY, desperation, and access ... it has been the practice, for decades, to travel to and stay long enough in another country where one can BUY the services which can effect the surgeries, tests, drugs, medical treatments that are either NOT available in one's home province or country, or, which they will have to wait for until after they likely Die. In one of numerous Personal experiences, I was assessed from my dramatic Medical symptoms by a well-respected Family Physician in Scarborough, Ontario, about 1998, to have FAST-progressing testicular cancer. She advised that the Specialist regulated to treat such cases would have an appointment backlog of 9 MONTHS for Emergencies! She also noted that Fast progressing cancers of this type usually resolved in Death in about 6 months or much sooner. Longer-term cancers were often fatal in 9 to 14 months. Even if I saw the Urologist, after 9 months, an emergency surgery would likely involve a further 6 MONTHS. Her advice: If I could find some other health enhancement non-medical modality, that Might address it, go for it! So, I researched, went for it, and recovered in about 3 MONTHS.
I've been in Lethbridge, Alberta from June, 2017.
I have sought a Medical resolution to a complex Medical problem from the week I arrived.
I have provided detailed description of the problems, reviewed and simplified relevant research findings, requested tests that could confirm what the research HIGHLY suggested or deny same and redirect elsewhere, encouraged physicians-doctors-surgeons-specialists to CONSIDER the most OBVIOUS options, and chosen to follow relevant alternative modalities that benefited controlling and recovering from the ADDITIONAL medical problems I contacted due to my weakened immune system. There has yet to be ANY involvement by government paid and controlled medical staff and service ... with the exception of a Family Physician I could first meet December 31, 2020, and, a Gastroenterologist whom I had a introductory telephone appointment with on April 7th. Clearly, by the restrictions on the physicians and the ensuing culture of the medical community, the INTENT is for me to DIE before anyone becomes ensnared in actually assisting me to Recover and lead a less daily stressed life and help others with my work. I cannot afford to go to other countries for a stay and complex surgery. There ARE Private healthcare services which if ALLOWED to practice in Alberta, and other provinces, might have helped me recover in 2016, when I could have possibly afforded their services.

Deliver Quick to the Simple; Seldom to the Complex.
M Index
In the world of Organized crime, the mandate is to deliver a service or product with as little complication and paperwork possible. If someone is going to sell you a contraband gun, they are not going to have you show them that you have completed a safe use of firearms course as mandated by many legal sources under the requirements of the government agency responsible for the Safe/legal use of same. There will be no registration of serial numbers, no sales taxes, no receipt for payment, no background check ... just a transfer of product for MONEY. The same is true if the prospect is going to pay for sex, drugs, contraband.
In my experience, especially highlighted in my visit to an Emergency Department in a major hospital in Alberta in later 2020, Emergency management eventually confirmed to me directly that because of my age, the pharmaceuticals which doctors had prescribed for me, and, the COMPLEXITY of the health problems I was exhibiting ... they would NOT be providing a surgery they had been preparing me for during the previous HOURS, and, their Purpose was LIMITED to addressing acute, singular, and straightforward medical problems. In addition, they were NOT capable of or mandated to Diagnose medical problems. They could request and run extensive and even expensive tests, yet, they only looked for Significant, Singular, and Dramatic results from such tests and NEVER examined the test results for the Quality of detail that would be, and could be, used to effect a Diagnosis. Their Quick Look-See-Jump approach was dominated by a mandate to do as LITTLE as possible, as QUICKLY as possible, with the least EXPENSE as possible.
More complicated realities were to be referred back to a Family Physician to be assessed in 10 MINUTES, with either NO test results, or, with the same LOW sophistication of test assessment taken at the Emergency Department. If one were supremely fortunate, a Humble (almost never) physician might refer you to one or more Specialists ... who might take 30 MINUTES, after MONTHS of delay to remain almost as inefficient, unhelpful, even more destructive to ones health and self-esteem. That is if you survived! If you truly had a Complex Life Threatening set of RELATED Medical problems, you would likely DIE before seeing the Specialist. Problem solved. The patient is "Cured" ... no longer in distress, the system is saved Money, Time, and Error, and the Public never know the Reality.

In Organized crime many policies and procedures and tasks are made abundantly simple.
Do as you are told or penalties will be dealt out, often immediately, often dramatically.
You learn quick, often from observing what happens to others who thwart Authority, or, you may die.
At the same time, soldiers (service providers) who don't follow orders don't get many chances for forgiveness. Any error or shortcoming to what has been expected of them often comes with the demand that they do something RISKY to re-earn acceptance. Forget trust. That may only come after one has risked their own life or freedom for the Organization by committing even greater crimes than were originally assigned to them. This is the REALITY that the more criminal acts you commit, the more difficult it will be for you to reverse the trend or avoid legal penalties. Commitment, not trust, is cemented. Soon, you will do ANYTHING to remain a member, and Protected, than to be terminated.
And how similar are we to many provincial Health Services and their policies for membership?
Do what is necessary to save MONEY and keep the system simple. Ignore and deny complex problems and shuffle them around until the patient dies, or commits suicide. And, the longer you stay in and go along with the restrictions of the System, the more they seem NORMAL, justified, enough. Patients are not allowed to speak angrily or demanding to you ... because that is impolite and disrespectful. That garners them the attention of a Security Guard, ambulance to a psych ward and mind numbing drugs, denial of physician attention, and the concerned looks of those who are ignorant of the REALITY of your Pain. So, doctors faced with complexity that can't be resolved in 10 or 20 minutes are encouraged to Walk Away. And those who are more Sincere about HELPING their Patient risk the backlash treatment from peers and employer ... You are costing us too much; You are making OUR tasks more demanding ... than just doing the minimal.
The CMPA (Canadian Medical Protective Association) was founded in 1901 by the Canadian Federal Government.
It has no limitations on how much legal assistance it provides to members to defend them against legal suits for medical injuries or malpractice. The goal is not to go to court and to establish if negligence has been done. Each Provincial Medical Association negotiates rebates for doctors. $225M paid out each year for the past 5 years for settlements.
By the policies of Alberta Health Services (and likely most other provincial health services) of the practices of Canadian physicians and surgeons, they need a LOT of protection. I wanted to know something about a surgeon I had been directed to by my Family Physician before I let him carve me open and potentially muck up my health worse than it had already been allowed to become. Yes, in the more than 75 years I have remained alive, and quite active and productive for much of, I have had about 11 surgeries ranging from what most people would consider minor to others which could be considered significant. HALF of those left me WORSE off, or at least with what are often considered to be permanent disabling health consequences. Only in the first surgery, for a crushed finger at the age of 8, did the Physician-Surgeon express any regrets or offer any corrective actions. Only one! The others denied the blatant result, ignored it, and, were never cautioned or receive any encouragement to IMPROVE by their health services employer or hospital. It was business as usual.
I called 1-780-423-4764, Selection #2: New Doctor/Personal Records and was directed me to the main College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta website at http://www.cpsa.ca. There I could use the SEARCH box to request public records on any Alberta doctor by Surname. Each profile was SHORT. Frequently, I could determine the full name, practice address, phone & fax number, surgical discipline, language, qualifications/certificates, association memberships, Practice Interests (usually NONE), disciplinary actions (always NONE). There was NO record of how many surgeries they had performed, how many of their surgeries had resulted in complications, how many of their patients had died within 48 hours of a surgery. The implied suggestion was that ALL doctors were PERFECT, never made any errors, and, never LEARNED anything new, nor, had any interest in doing so. Not the best of recommendations.
There are, of course, RateMD websites at which happy and displeased patients can record their enthusiastic comments. Judging from the number of entries, FEW patients ever make it to these sites. Those who do express comments which are often more telling about the patient than the doctor. Everybody has difficult days in which they are not feeling well themselves, have heard some distressing news about someone they deeply care about, have experienced highly combative and disturbing communication from a previous patient or staff member, have had their vehicle break down, experienced or seen criminal behavior, or, any number of other disturbing influences. Their ability to listen carefully, or even care about the patient in front of them is minimized. They would be far more helpful to the patient and for their profession if they were allowed, even encouraged, to take the day or some time away from the clinic to resolve and cope with the current dramatic influences. But, with very few exceptions, the doctor has been taught that they are the god the patient is going to be rescued by, that they have a supreme duty during clinic hours to be present for, and, that if they book off ... they may not be paid, and/or, will be viewed by any concerned as somehow DAMAGED goods. So, they will soldier on at everyone's expense.
Alternatively, you have the patient, who likewise has been exposed to or experienced any of the above noted dramatic influences and is REACTING to any word or tone of voice that the physician or surgeon is uttering. Add to this that the Side Effects of many pharmaceuticals make communication WORSE and provide additional symptoms to distract, increase anxiety and forgetfulness, and open the door to impatience and anger ... and Constructive and Clam communication are made that much more remote. So, the doctor may be panned for having a bad day, or, a good doctor can be put down because the patient is having a challenging day and has poor coping skills.
In REALITY, everybody also experiences Fantastic days in which everything seems to be going to their advantage and they have received acknowledgement, accolades, encouragement, rewards, opportunities ... and anything else they feel happy about. Even a most incompetent doctor on those days can seem like a miracle as they propose irrelevant tests or strategies for medical conditions they have completely misunderstood. Add to this that as many as 30,000 health endangering prescriptions are written in Canada every year as doctors GUESS as to what may counter a singular symptom that may indicate any of 16 problems, of which some are opposite to each other, and the REALITY of Worse health can be expected. Add together double negatives (both doctor and patient have distressed days) or even double positives and communication WILL suffer. Better to have BOTH balanced, calm, focused, and open to solutions.
Non Risk documents.
This is where you are going to undergo a test or operation which DOES involve some degree of Risk, so you are asked to sign a document that states CLEARLY that if anything should go wrong and you end up injured, worse in health, or dead ... neither you nor your heirs can hold the doctor, hospital, or health services industry Legally RESPONSIBLE for ANYTHING. Yes, I have seen extensive documentation assembled and provided by lawyers on behalf of patients who ACQUIRED Nosocomial illness in a hospital, suffered injuries from incompetent and reckless surgeons, or were prescribed drugs which precipitated fatal strokes or heart attacks ... in support of court cases suing for Damages. I worked at one time in a photocopy shop near a hospital and lawyer office boulevard. The cases typically created a lot of legal fees and were usually, eventually, thrown out of court because of the non-responsibility contract the patient had signed. Why would any surgeon seek to improve their skills if they are NEVER held responsible for their mistakes? And, why would hospitals or health services improve their policies?

Reward Obedience, Loyalty; Penalize Curiosity & Innovation.
M Index
The highest form of Reward in Organized Crime is to be ACCEPTED as a member.
This is seemingly like making a great effort, or simply being recognized for your effort ... to become a SLAVE. At best, you may believe that you are being invited or allowed to be a Partner, but when the Boss changes direction, orders your friend to be murdered, or GIVES you the task of beating up the honest shopkeeper to advertise the POWER of the organization ... you really don't have a say. And, at those times, you become aware that you will be treated in like manner if you stray out of line. So you go along with the injustice and become part of it, so you can survive. You may not like it but to withdraw now is to be treated as WORSE than either someone who chose to leave, or, someone who betrayed what was considered a Trust for some selfish IDEAL of helping others with less drama, pain, conflict, and loss. Most people don't have that much STRENGTH; they just want to get by with some sense of Security and Future.
If you are part of the Organized Crime team you will have heard of what happened to others who became too curious. In this cabal, CURIOSITY is just another word for sticking your nose where it does not belong; another word for getting involved beyond your level of Authority. Even there delegated Authority often does not come with the POWER to effect and enforce. You may discover that when you make a decision which you believe will improve the outcome of what you have been told you are Responsible for, and then get humiliated, degraded, and threatened with "dismissal" for acting without the Power you thought you had. Safer not to think outside of the BOX of convention, the known, and the expected.
Innovation is bringing forward options and opportunities that have either not been considered as possible solutions before, or, have been set aside as unworkable because those in charge did not have the skills to carry them off, or, did not understand the wider picture in which they proved to be RELEVANT, constructive, even profitable.
Becoming an EMPLOYEE in the trade you have sacrificed time, effort, and financial resources to be accepted in is considered a milestone, an achievement, a form of success. This is especially true if you have been pushed through a form of initiation in which you are expected to work exaggerated hours as an intern, become numb to the death of patients who may have died from your inexperience, and be able to joke about the idiosyncrasies of a patient or two because you were so fatigued you were entering a state of reactive giddiness. A little like the state of mania arising from hypothermia when one feels numb to the cold and are becoming so relaxed and happy that they can just keep flowing forward, or even drop into a state of semi-sleep bordering on blackout or coma. You're in! Now, don't blow it. Do whatever is asked of you so you can stay.
Yes, I met and knew many happy and health improved patients who went to MEDICAL Professionals in the province of Ontario who became targeted by the Physicians & Surgeons Association of Ontario, because, they dared to include CHANGES in their practice. A Clinical Ecologist who was 100% effective in assisting his patients to RECOVERY after Physicians and Specialists told them their situation was hopeless and terminal became just too HUMBLING for the Association. They recruited 'spies' to enter the clinic and make efforts to entrap the doctor. Then, they took their manipulated evidence and had the doctor's license suspended while they held him in professional limbo for a year with a legal suit that kept being delayed in resolution. The supporter's of the doctor raised a million dollars over that year, in the mid-1980's, in support of his legal defence fund. In the end he was found innocent of charges of medical malpractice. The damage was done. He went to the USA and became both a popular physician but one who continued to SIGNIFICANTLY help patients for years. Years that Ontario lost his services. I observed as similar 'Penalties' of slander, threat, innuendo, and removal of freedoms was visited upon a Family Physician who was instrumental in assisting her patients fully recover from systemic Candida Albicans and other ailments after other physicians had insisted that such was impossible and had made the same persons worse. There were others. The end result was often the same. The doctors went to another country ... where HELPING others came before making money for oneself and minimizing expenses to the political masters.
Innovation is fine when the MEDICAL services are small and less established and NORMS have not yet been pushed into place. Dr. Wm. Warren Rudd pioneered a Ligature & Cryosurgical approach to RECOVERY from hemorrhoids in the mid-1990s, in Ontario. Previous surgical approaches had resulted in risky, expensive, and hard to recover from surgical approaches that often resulted in weeks of pain after. His procedure could be done in a modified doctor's office with one assistant nurse. Whether for one or 4 hemorrhoids, the surgery could be completed in 15 minutes, with local anaesthetic, with the patient returning to work IMMEDIATELY afterwards. I know. I had the surgery done twice in 18 months in the early 2000's and had no return problems for more than 17 years. His procedure saved the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP) millions of dollars in expense every year, and saved patients pain, disability, and loss of wages. He later attempted to have his procedure adopted in Alberta, British Columbia, and other provinces. Today, Alberta only utilizes HALF of the procedure ... leaving patients in a week or more of needless pain and disability afterwards. Why? Because the specialist involved would have a higher degree of independence, be required to learn ONE more skill, and there would be a MINIMAL added equipment outlay ... than just doing it the CHEAP way. Like in Organized Crime, it is all about CONTROL and POWER, not about what would be best for everyone, even at a lower cost and greater Quality of SERVICE.

Limit Expenses with inadequate budgets.
M Index
In Organized Crime the persons with the most POWER and Authority usually determine where the money goes and who receives what for payment. ALWAYS, those at the top of the Power mountain take the MOST and do the LEAST hands-on effort. PROFIT is seldom seen as Surplus and is often considered the well earned benefits of those who put the organization together and manage it. Without them, it is reasoned, there would be nothing ... no employees, no resources, no supply chain, no services offered ... and the clients would be forced to either go without, or, go to other suppliers who, it is reasoned, would not be as dependable at service delivery. In effect, some criminals see themselves as a benefit to society. They are providing the products that alleviate the ills created by the law abiding.
In essence, capitalism is a historically proven failure.
It creates imbalances and injustices through its denial of the influence of disease, injury, death, losses, and environmental changes on persons. It preaches that everyone has the same opportunities to be employed, be paid according to the quantity and quality of their labors, and from their superior performance over the efforts of others ... gain more profit and afford more luxuries. Criminals, in particular, are aware of the hypocrisy of this ETHIC. Often, they have been born into poverty that has resulted when a parent became ill and had to spend all their savings to compensate for lost wages or productivity, or, have been helpless as slaves to one or more Addictions which have siphoned away any savings they might have had. Criminals often come from families, who by the influence of Energy Block addictive attitudes and behaviors have experienced physical violence, emotional abuse, and spiritual deadening within their own home. They have often been excluded from educational resources, or, driven into those which someone else determined was best for them because of who they were PERCEIVED to be. They have NOT been EQUAL, and, they see that they will NEVER be regardless of how much they sacrifice to be. THEIR option for success is to fill those COMMERCIAL avenues opened by the deficient monopoly that dependable enriches the already rich, and, the Powerful.
Inadequate budgets to ensure that ALL members of society who want to be accepted and to have an Equal opportunity to contribute mandates that an UNEQUAL part of society WILL exist, and that over time it will GROW in proportion to the whole. With the overexpansion of population came the necessity and attraction to subjugate plants to agricultural industrial production, and, imprison animals in herds for husbandry industrial production. It would only be a matter of time, and population growth, before humans would be organized into competitive religious monopolies and then into egotistical national political monopolies. Professional criminals and terrorists often view themselves as persons attempting to SAVE, or at least allow to cope, the enslaved workers from their money obsessed employers. Intellectually, it would calculate that if everyone was inter=dependent and not co-dependent, self-sufficient and not credit-dependent, confident rather than depressed, and invited rather than excluded ... peace and harmony and joy would dominate. Yet this will NEVER be possible with the current human genome contaminated with Energy Blocks and self-sabotaging social imprinting.
In Politically Dominated (not politically regulated) economies and organizations, the ones in POWER determine WHO receives the biggest rewards in terms of tax holidays, wage subsidies, minimum wage inadequacies, crop and cattle marketing, tariffs, sales taxes, advantageous duty and excise codes, energy supports, and, government supply contracts. They also determine who can be hired into the MEDICAL field, what they will be paid, what duties they are mandated to provide, and, in what order they must carry out their service activities. Once a political budget has been set for the next year, it is the demand of the politicians that the relevant regulation ministry and its attendant health services organization spread their demands across what is available. Since, the SERVICES end has ALWAYS been working with how LITTLE they can provide and make MOST people satisfied, the concepts of Health Empowerment and Prevention and Recovery have all been minimized.
Politicians, in an environment in which they can have their tenure extended by how happy they can persuade their electors to feel, have come to believe that THEIR career future depends upon how much they can CONTROL the taxation load on their voters. After more than a CENTURY of NOT empowering their students and voters with a REALITY about HOW these concepts of Empowerment, Prevention, and Recovery work in practice ... it is just generations too late to now twist the human genome into being self-directed, self-responsible, self-managed, and self-interested in understanding and utilizing these inter-related and potentially subtle and complex concepts. Citizens have been educated and rewarded for leaving HEALTH to the Professionals ... just like they leave their car to the mechanic for repair. Unfortunately, for the citizen, their physicians and surgeons have been kindly coerced into giving up professionalism for technocracy and bureaucracy. Most such SERVICE providers are even unaware that there could be an alternative and improved path. They are just doing what their peers and managers and educators have told them is what MUST be done.
Bureaucracy, unrestricted, has historically ALWAYS proven to become the HUMP that destroyed the camel.
Fundamentally, those managing their bureaucratic departments are unconsciously driven to make themselves valuable and retain their positions by making it seem that more and more policies, reports, presentations, graphs, charts, and statistics make for a higher QUALITY of services which they exert influence over. Their IDEALISM promotes Fantasy onto the ACTUAL delivery of the services over which they have NO experience. Like the professional criminal, they BELIEVE that their hard work will bring a better balance to the delivery of services. In effect, the soldiers delivering the services have NO time to entertain their reports and studies as they don't even look at medical research findings and alerts for their own discipline. Doctors, physicians and surgeons often feel as if they are looking at a steady stream of attackers for whom they have old and flimsy weapons and as a best option must use the SHIELD of denial-destruct-delay-divination. What is the best GUESS for today to ward off this patient?
The self-sabotaging ethics, beliefs, practices, policies and relationships only becomes enhanced when the population in need of MEDICAL care becomes older. Deprived of a truly citizen concerned political structure, their air, water, food, clothing, workplaces and homes have become sources of heavy metal, toxic chemical, GMO cell modifiers, energy impacting, and social media pollutants ... they continue to aggregate health weaknesses. Devoid of a MEDICAL system which is not allowed to take the time necessary to counter, correct, and eliminate chronic disease conditions ... the drugs they have used to hide, distract, and suppress such conditions has only made them even more complex and difficult not only to diagnose but to treat. In sum, Alberta Health Services (and many other provincial health services) is NOT Saving their patients. They are SIMPLY enabling their patients to become more sick and to die earlier than would happen if they had received RELEVANT health supports.

Have Target (Client/Patient) surrender Choice/Rights.
M Index
In organized crime, there is an understanding that if you buy illegal goods (drugs, guns, prostitutes, stolen devices and appliances, secret and military information, etc.) from a criminal supplier that you will accept them as is and not complain about any shortcomings. In addition, it is expected that, for the safety of your life, and possibly of others such as family and relatives, that if you divulge who you got the contraband from to the legal authorities, your life and that of your friends will be in danger.
On the few times that I have entered a hospital to have surgery done, and the many times that I have witnessed others do so ... there has always been a request/demand for the patient to sign a legal form in which the patient NOT to take legal action against the surgeon, any of the medical staff or the hospital itself if there is any form of carelessness, negligence, complication, or, fatality during the surgery. This essentially means that the surgeon and their staff cannot make ANY mistakes ... so, there is nothing for them to learn from a sloppy job, and, if they kill a person, no action, instruction, or caution will be given to the offender.
I have known friends and acquaintances who entered a hospital for a test and left with a disease that became fatale a few weeks later. Others who have entered a hospital and were declared in the best of health and were found at autopsy to have an expansive disease which could have been diagnosed. When I was a member of a patient's group for persons with hypersensitivities, first person accounts were expressed by the majority who had gone to an Emergency Department for relief from an INTENSE reaction to something and had asked a physician for what they knew from experience would benefit. Instead, the doctor involved had ALWAYS assumed what they PROJECTED they were witnessing, and mandated an approach which made them WORSE ... almost leading to fatality. The doctors involved learned NOTHING; they repeated the same mistakes with patients which followed with the same symptoms and requests. Patients who died were simply "unfortunate" but routine casualties.

Action: Life and Disability Insurance Quandary.
A Index
Several decades ago a Canadian life and disability insurance agent and an life insurance company officer informed me that, in Canada, insurance companies accumulated and confirmed and updated their data on the health of individual applicants and policyholders by acquiring the digital Meditech Software Patient Records which all Canadian Emergency Departments accessed when and if the applicant or policyholder went to an Emergency Department. This allowed for the insurance company to process applications and update policyholder profiles with a minimum of interview time and lengthy forms completions. This procedure may have changed in the interim. Privacy laws, policies, and concerns have changed and may not allow this sharing of personal information, especially without the authorization of the person in question.
Neither a current (2022-05) Manulife agent, medical interviewer or life signs recorder knew the current (2022) procedure ... and did not indicate if they were aware that the one described above ever existed. Certainly, as indicated elsewhere in this document, prejudicial statements based on superstition, spurious reasoning, a lack of diagnostic testing, and a denial of patient concerns has been entered into such profiles in the past. As Patients seldom even know that such a record exists, or as to who enters additional data into it ... there is almost no way for such data to be reviewed for accuracy and relevancy and corrections made where errors or prejudicial statements are clearly indicated. In my experience, Emergency Department physicians NEVER question the content ... and this can result in their poorly attending to patients with REAL medical difficulties ... and contribute to REAL fatalities that could have been avoided ... and which result in earlier than expected claims for policy proceeds.

Individual Insurance, Other - Termination Warning, rec'd June 10, 2022.
FROM: John R. Sennett

Lethbridge, AB T1J 2K1

Manulife Policy: 2906133
SUBJECT: Policy Overlap - Application Delays & Difficulties.
What had been a long-term Life Insurance policy with Manulife, and previously Imperial Life, came due for a Premium adjustment in late May, 2022. MONTHLY premiums, for the same policy death benefit were to rise from $237.73 to $1,231.17. As legally required, the policy would remain in effect, awaiting a late payment, for 30 days after the final payment due (May 21, 2022). I began an APPLICATION for a replacement Life insurance policy, with Manulife, from early APRIL, to be set for a monthly premium close to $230.00.
With previous applications, decades past and at a much younger age, applications had been cleared and accepted within several weeks. This time, I have been surprised and disappointed to find the application clearance procedures extending, likely, beyond 2 MONTHS. Likely mostly a factor of my age, over 75, a phone interview, an extensive ONLINE application, signature verification, identity verification, income verification, address verification, SIN (Social Insurance number) verification, in-person lifestyle and health interview, by-phone extensive health questionnaire and interview, followed almost several weeks later by a medical questionnaire and interview to be completed by my Family Physician, in person ... has continually extended the new policy application procedure and potential policy replacement and application.
My Family Physician requires a 3-WEEK minimum appointment request for anything (if more urgent, go to the local hospital Emergency Department) .. and that has provide me with a June 21, 2022 late afternoon appointment ... following which she will send (mail, e-mail, ..) the result to the Manulife Actuarial Department, who will assess ... and at some point provide my agent and myself with the result.
On June 15, I will make an online late payment of $1,231.17 to Manulife and call their main office at 1-888-626-8543 to both confirm that this will extend my current policy for another month plus grace period .. to July 21, and, to obtain an explanation for the recent Notice of Payment and Termination Warning ... which seem to include the overdue monthly premium, the current premium, and some additional fee. Since August, 2020, I have had a Line-of-Credit with CIBC which will easily sustain the larger monthly premiums for the older policy for up to 6 months should the application for the replacement policy be denied. This would enable me to find an alternate provider. In the meantime, I will pay the outstanding premium, within the 30-day Grace period, confirm details with a Manulife representative, and, be prepared to may the following near current (June 21) premium of $1,231.17.
Canadian Insurance companies repeatedly question policy applicants regarding their knowledge of any conditions which DOCTORS have diagnosed and confirmed. While the patient, like this patient, may suspect the presence of one or more medical problems, some of which may become fatal ... it remains irrelevant for them to indicate their suspicions .. which might Benefit the insurer. If the policyholder dies from one or more illnesses which they have expressed concerns to medical personnel ... sometimes for years or even decades ... yet the medical system has failed to competently test and diagnose and confirm or deny a problem ... and avoid the treatment of conditions which could have been treated and possibly recovered from ... the insurer might consider addressing any concerns or disappointment to the political authorities and the medical institutions responsible for these counterproductive attitudes and reporting procedures. It is not the responsibility of the applicant to raise dramatic medical concerns with the insurer for which they possess no sanctioned authority to conclude.

How Important is YOUR life, career, happiness, security, and health, Part 1 of 3.
(TITLE enhanced size and type)
Did you know that in Canada healthcare services are the dominion and responsibility of the Provinces and not the Federal government? Most Canadians do not.
That means that the level of service can and does vary from province to province and from day-to-day. Each provincial service is run by the Political parties who negotiate standards with the provincial Medical Associations and Unions. How many surgeries of what type and which tests can be conducted and in which order are NOT set by or determined with the feedback from doctors and nurses. And, because we are in Canada, and the politicians support the myth that Canada has ONE healthcare system which is UNIVERSAL, there are no other privately offered medical services allowed.
That's right, we have a monopoly, by province, in which the rules and directives of how the services will be offered are set by politicians, almost all of whom have NO training in ANY health modality and little interest in health issues .. until YOU, the public, raise a dramatic demand for improvements or change.
Did you also know that Family/General Physicians in Alberta, and many other provinces, often have appointment times limited to 10 minutes. They can take longer, but they will not be paid for such "wasted" time and may even be criticized as being poorly Performing employees because they are not seeing ENOUGH patients to justify the current POLITICAL costs of numbers of physicians hired. And, if you speak too quickly or don't immediately remember ALL of the health concerns, issues, and symptoms you want answers to ... you may be considered a paranoid, overly emotional, mentally compromised patient ... who doctors are trained to ignore most of what you can offer to benefit the outcome.
And just how fully can you describe your health concerns in 10 minutes after saying a polite greeting and waiting for your physician to activate their computer and call up your profile? In some provinces, doctors are limited by their political masters and the time they are supposed to spend with a patient ... to only considering ONE symptom per appointment. Many individual symptoms are shared by many medical problems. That range of medical diseases can span such wide differences in understanding and treatment as Anxiety can differ from Cancer or a Viral attack. And if you are prescribed an incorrect drug for your ailment, it may KILL you, like the estimated 30,000 Canadians who die EACH year from such errors.
So, what can YOU do?
Addressing these concerns to your political representative (make sure you get the Provincial one and NOT the Federal) will likely meet with a pleasantry about their appreciation for your concerns, followed by denial, distraction, forgetfulness, and NO action. After all, they are facing an uphill battle of criticism and over-rationalization from their peers. To raise the issue will likely have them perceived by their peers as being naive, inexperienced in political dynamics, and, a troublemaker. So, let's forget it!
Perhaps writing about your concerns to a media editor, commentator, health journalist, or other "free speech" professional will bring some action, or at least some interest. This is RARELY the outcome. Publishers and media owners, as well as most advertisers are looking for what promotes business. They are interested in what sells ads, who buys the ads, and, what is dramatic for a day. Publishers and owners frequently CONTROL what editors can accept from their researchers and writers in terms of issues. In Canada, government advertising and access to government sources provides a LOT of financial and information income to the success of a newspaper, radio or television station. That means, don't mess with National Myths, including that the Canadian healthcare system (which is NOT singular) is Perfect.
In more recent times, that leaves Social Media and Class Actions against government organizations.
Social Media, now yielding 1000's of sites, many of which track your IDENTITY and secretly create projected Profiles of WHO they want to CONTROL by limiting WHAT you see and WHO sees you. That profile limits your CHOICES of information, what you THINK about, what you are AWARE of, and HOW you make decisions. And too often, that transforms your concerns into the random immature judgements of persons who are only interested in Aggressively IMPOSING themselves into a conversation about something they have little interest or experience with. In most cases, that has transformed YOUR concerns into Abuse, Misinformation, Ridicule, and Fantasy.
NEXT time, lets consider other dynamics and realities of how you can KEEP your health, job, relationships, savings, and sanity.

How Important is YOUR life, career, happiness, security, and health, Part 2 of 3.
(TITLE enhanced size and type)
In Part 1 we acknowledged that there are many healthcare systems and policies across Canada.
We also were able to understand some of the limitations which sabotage the actions of physicians.
We could see that an emphasis on Quantity and PRICE undercut Quality and Economics.
It led to extended complex and chronic medical problems, higher death rates, and higher healthcare costs.
We could also see how the avenues we have been taught to expect benefit from, would often FAIL us.
What we receive from POLITICAL Services depends upon what we understand about political dynamics and realities, and, about HOW we Participate in the setting of standards (Quality) and the delivery (Access) to those services. We live with our bodies every day. A physician sees us for 10 minutes and is taught that they are qualified to decide what is best for us with almost NO information, and often, with NO health history or lifestyle awareness. We are humans. Is it Realistic to expect, and defer, to the judgement of any other human on decisions which could frustrate or terminate our health, job, relationships, income, freedom, life?
What are we talking about? PARTICIPATION!
That can mean that we become more aware of what our blood type and body type are and acknowledge our genetics and determine from those what would provide us with good nutrition and activity, AND, what we would be best to avoid. And, if we are mature, it also means that we do NOT expect that what is Best for us MUST be best for all others, or even for other members in our family. We are NOT clones. One size does not fit all. Black-and-White reasoning is for Desperate people who are paranoid and reacting AS IF they are in a war. Individual humans can represent a multitude of colors in which shades of color are shared with many others.
Medical Tests are politicized in Canadian provinces and across many states in the USA, and likely elsewhere. The threshold between what is considered a Normal reading and what is Abnormal often changes over time. Medical research can contribute to this, yet, North American studies indicate that it will take an average of 17 YEARS for physicians to become aware of Significant medical 'advances." Then, there is the rationalization of economy. The lab analyzing a stool sample may only look for or recognize the 10 or 12 parasites they are PAID to look for ... out of a possible 50 or more. What you don't look for, or are unaware of, you will NEVER find, no matter how many times you run the test. And then there is the economic restriction on how many tests will be financed within the budget year. If a limit of 1200 CT Scans for the province are budgeted, count on delays, cancellations, even no consideration of ... if you are late to the party.
Humans are not perfect. Neither are medical tests.
And, this interaction is further complicated by the Assessment of tests involving different Grades of ACCESS to the resources. If X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and MRI's are typically reviewed on LOW resolution and with a glance over hundreds of images, the result may be far less relevant than one being viewed with a HIGH resolution viewer by a decades long experienced professional who allows their eyes to adapt to the nuances of each slide before skipping on to the next. For many patients with singular, acute problems, a short (5 minute) review of the scans may be adequate for an accurate diagnosis. For some patients with chronic, multiple medical problems, a longer (30 minute) review of the scans may yield nuances which mean the difference between denial and treatment; between extended suffering, and, recovery.
Scientific research has demonstrated, for DECADES, that most physicians and surgeons FREQUENTLY make mistakes as an extension of their training and the structures/limitations imposed on them. Expecting their training to have "prepared" them, they stop learning. Assuming that they are the "gods" the media have portrayed them to be for decades, they ignore patient feedback. Projecting what a beneficial drug would be from a speck of evidence is assured ERROR. And, YOUR accepting that you have no Right to participate in YOUR Medical Recovery is sacrificing your Choice over your Recovery and Future.
What if there were a way in which you could facilitate positive changes to wide-ranging health policies which would SAVE lives, reduce misery, address frustrations, and increase the economy and benefits of YOUR healthcare services? Blaming is just another form of Abuse: Bullying. Being an ADULT means finding an understanding of WHY something is Wrong, yet supported. It means finding WHAT is necessary in order to enable change. And, it also means finding WHEN, WHERE, and HOW those who have been maltreated can be acknowledged and find resolution in services which are RELEVANT to their needs and are an ACTION in support of the Goals advertised by the service provider as the basis for their existence.
A Class Action can expose policies and procedures that influence the EFFECTIVE outcomes of the services provided for perhaps millions of patients and medical service employees. A Class Action can grab the Attention of the institution which must elect to change if any positives are to emerge. A Class Action can bring Hope to those who may have been and have been discriminated against because of race, age, gender, employment, citizenship, or, the written assumptions or prejudices of those given power. Class Actions, in Canada, often fail or bring minor benefits to some of those for whom it was begun. To raise the SUCCESS threshold, changes must be made which benefit both the institution and those for whom it provides services, as well as for those who provide and control its budgets (politicians).
Only by MANY people getting involved in the Publicity of the Class Action and the REAL Issues it presents will EVERYONE benefit. NEXT time we will consider more directly how EACH of us can help ourselves and everyone else.

How Important is YOUR life, career, happiness, security, and health, Part 3 of 3.
(TITLE enhanced size and type)
In Part 1 we acknowledged that there are many healthcare systems and policies across Canada.
We also were able to understand some of the limitations which sabotage the actions of physicians.
We could see that an emphasis on Quantity and PRICE undercut Quality and Economics.
It led to extended complex and chronic medical problems, higher death rates, and higher healthcare costs.
We could also see how the avenues we have been taught to expect benefit from, would often FAIL us.
In Part 2 we learned that within a Democracy, we, as citizens both receive and are denied the health services we are aware of, understand, and participate to improve. If we do nothing, we will be taken advantage of and discriminated against by others who INTEND to do good, yet IMPOSE on us policies, procedures, and an attitude which emanate from their inability to empathize with us. The decision makers will not know that THEIR system is FAILING us unless we COLLECTIVELY bring their attention to such issues.
If your are reading this then I am DEAD.
I struggled for more than 5 years to have the Health Services, first in British Columbia, and then much longer in Alberta do their job. What was required was to sincerely make an effort to diagnose the MEDICAL pathologies I had and economically assist me in eliminating them. Had they done that, I would have been able to continue significantly helping others as I had for decades. I would have been able to continue having a social and intimate life. It would have been possible for me to pay taxes, be involved in recreational activities, and maintain contact with friends and associates. That all ended. I required surgery. The health care system was set up to AVOID complicated and risky surgeries and minimize any others through delay, denial, and ignorance.
A good patient is a dead one. They never return. They require no more services (cost). They never remind the doctor of their errors. No longer are there any demands for them to learn more or do better. I don't want those unnecessary losses for YOU or those you care about. And, healthcare workers would better be ALLOWED to assist others to Recovery rather than being degraded to the activities of Technicians ... just following a set of ritual instructions as if they were robots devoid of openness to learning and inviting of revelations that empower them.
Before I died, I put together a number of Reports and a Plan for initiating a Class Action against Alberta Health Services, and possibly Meditech Software for actively avoiding services they were proud to promote yet impoverished to provide. You can find some of these, together with many other documents I compiled for my own health efforts and for the benefit of others, on my website:
https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/START.html
I set aside from my limited estate enough money to publish these 3 eye openers for YOU, the public. Any further action, as in enabling the legal representation of a Class Action, will be up to you and be made possible through the donations of yourself and others you know. They will go directly into a Trust fund and be used to pay legal fees with any extra being shared amongst claimants, who could number in the thousands. Such an ACTION could bring recognition to the needless pain and suffering which you or someone you know have endured. It could safeguard you and others from becoming Victims and gaining a needlessly shortened life. You can CHANGE the outcome.
My first car was one I bought from my father.
He always maintained his motors and implements in good working order so I was confident that the car was a good and fair purchase. Soon after the purchase, I began to find the battery discharged every morning. I was attending one of the first private full-time technical colleges to upgrade my skills and change my career. That meant no income for 9 months. It was on the verge of winter and it was mandatory to have a vehicle to get to the college. Four times in quick succession I found my car with a dead battery in the morning, Fortunately, these spanned a weekend or such a long absence from class would have been a disaster. Each time the battery was dead, ALWAYS in the morning and in the apartment building parking lot, a tow to a nearby auto repair garage was required. A tow for a car is like taking an ambulance for a human. There can be a cost unless you have auto service insurance .. and then they only cover a specified number of requests.
Even then, the attitude of the service personnel was one of "What is obvious" and "How fast can we fix this and leave the customer happy, and us paid." With a "What else could it be thought" the first "repair" involved replacing the battery ($$). Off to work I went. Next day, same start. This time, the repairman was confident that the problem was the alternator because an alternator is powered by the engine and converts motion into electricity which it feeds to the battery. If it doesn't work it wouldn't matter how far you drove, the battery would not be recharged. Alternator replaced ($$). Next day, a repeat of no starting and another tow. This was becoming annoying for delay, change in plans, cost, time lost. And these were professionals! Now they were becoming concerned. I asked if there was some kind of test they could do to isolate the problem. No, that would be too complicated with all of the electrical harnesses and connections. Next they replaced the regulator ($). That had to be the problem. But it wasn't.
For the next incident, my car service insurance could not send a tow truck for many hours as it was a cold, snowy day with many motorists in trouble. With a good bit of encouragement, the garage sent a tow truck. Back at the garage, I confronted the manager. If NONE of what had been replaced was the problem could I have a credit towards what I had paid for replacement parts, or at least have the older parts returned. NO. New parts had to be paid for and the older parts were discarded daily. This time, the manager took a look. He listened to a description of what was happening and what had been done. He disappeared for several minutes and returned with an electrical TEST device! Within 3 minutes he traced the problem to the trunk. There was a small lamp mounted on the edge of the forward lip of the trunk. When the lid was closed the lid depressed a switch and turned off the lamp. Perhaps in moving some possessions, the switch/lamp mount had been bent down. The lid no longer contacted it. The lamp stayed on ALL the time. It was an easy bend with FINGERS to realign the switch with the trunk lid. Problem solved. And, no replacement devices were required ... only a few minutes of Experienced help with a TEST device they knew how to use, and a minor adjustment made .. with no tools.
This is my experience with Canadian Health Services in Alberta and elsewhere.
Doctors project, assume, and use superstition to conclude why a patient is experiencing their SYMPTOMS.
They use the same kind of Grade 9 simplistic correlations to GUESS what drugs SHOULD work for you.
If you have trouble with the drugs, they may threaten you to keep taking them, or send you to an Emergency Department ... where you are told that THEY do NOT diagnose ... and go back to your doctor.
We demonstrate our motives, passions, skills, awareness, empathy, and attitudes by our behaviors and their consistency. Humans talk a lot about what these are about themselves yet seldom does Reality fit the Projection. Often people describe themselves as they want to be accepted, as they expect others should want them to be, or, as a fantasy they know they are not yet like the picture of. In my experience of Canadian Health Services in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta provinces over the past 75 years, with the greatest frequency of contact being in Alberta, 5 points dominate.
- Cost (immediate) and Efficiency are highly first choices over Quality and Effectiveness.
- Fast, short-term, and temporary are reactive first steps over longer-term and enduring.
- Egotistical concerns of the service provider dominate over patient respect & acknowledgement.
- Delay and denial are best choices for treating chronic or complex problems before Relevancy.
- Patient contact is considered a bridge to employment & income and not to service.
There are some workers who have not accepted, yet, the above as a way to maintain career security. They are often new arrivals, persons trained in other countries and cultures, are passionate and naive, or, are bored with the checklist routines preferred by the institution.
We,
Canadians Owning Normal Treatment for All Citizen's Turnarounds (CONTACT) are presenting a Class Action on behalf of Province of Alberta health services patients against the Alberta Health Services for their persistent DENIAL of relevant services to enable Recovery from multi-issue medical problems. As out publicity, organizing, and legal expenses are only paid from private donations, and, as we are making efforts to provide better health services for all Albertans, we ask that you send whatever monies you deem are affordable and relevant for this work.

Loss of Health Recovery Possibilities.
L Index
It is a medical fact that with many cancers and many parasite infestations the LONGER their presence goes undetected, unrecognized, unacknowledged ... the SHORTER is the time in which they can be responded to and eradicated, minimized, or otherwise lessened. Eventually, time runs out and they become fatal, often after creating a number of other pathologies made viable by a weakened and distracted immune system.
In this case, the very LONG duration of Denied medical support and resolution both added other pathologies which had to be resolved if they were not to contribute highly towards fatality, and, while at least 2 significant pathologies were present, minimizing either enabled the other to become more dominant. There was NO medical support or benefit with any of these, and even interference and setback with some medical options. There was a significant benefit, acknowledged, in the response to a significant back injury that left me unable to use my right until I innovated and trained the conscious use of alternative nerve action pathways to the sequences in my brain. There was neither a recognition of or assistance in my recovery from a stroke-like disability of my left leg use. I recovered from both potentially and usually permanent disabling ailments through the conscious training and selection of new nerve pathways and automating the new sequences through repetition.
Before October 2019, the consistent inability to raise any beneficial medical participation in my Recovery led me to take a few dramatic, though Responsible actions. I began sleeping on towels covering my sheets and mattress, or, carpet. Many people are aware that when one dies, their sphincters relax and any urine in their bladders or stool in their colon is likely to leak out. As I might die any time I went to sleep, I prepared my surroundings for the least mess.
From early 2020, with my likely near future death and the beneficial dispersion of my belongings and the questionable reasons for my death seemed imminent, I rewrote my will, constructed intensive instructions on index cards for my executor, and laid out detailed instructions for the return of my apartment to the move-in conditions ... with the cleaning, maintenance, and, enhancement improvements I had made.
Through 2019, ALL of my CLOTHING became too small and would have been best to be replaced with larger sizes. That is, all that had not already been replaced after my sudden significant expansion in belly mass in 2016. In the interim and since, 4 short (several days) episodes happened during which I added an average of 5 pounds of weight and additional tissue (bone, muscle, etc.) to my belly, thighs, calves, feet. This happened without any significant change in my diet or lifestyle. I delayed on changing my clothing sizes as long as possible because it would be wasteful to purchase same, and then die the next day. Also, larger sizes were not always available to me from the stores in my area, or even online.
The IMPACT of clothing changes of this nature on the health and lifestyle of a person is rarely spoken of by those affected. First, it seems that the reality should not be all that important to focus on. Secondly, almost no one can, or wants to, visualize how such changes can not only be annoying, but also adverse to hygiene, lifestyle, and, health. I could no longer wear any of the casual or running shoes or work boots or sandals or winter foot protection that I had. With Spiritual Guidance, I found a pair of size 12+ (I had previous used size 10/11 footwear for DECADES) winter slip-on boots in a store I never usually went to as the transportation access to it for me was awkward. In a similar way, I found 2 pairs of trousers (which had been discounted and relocated to a Sale area of the store for items which were not selling) in each of 2 widely separated stores. Yet, even though I had sizes of underwear briefs that were 3 sizes larger than the size that I had worn for more than 3 DECADES ... they were now still snug in the scrotal - upper thigh region ... which is one of the major lymph regions for sweating away pelvic toxins. Even if I washed this region several times daily and added skin cream, the toxins being excreted sometimes influenced the skin as if they were caustic. Thus, it became healthiest, beginning in late 2019 for me to wear NO BRIEFS or trousers when at home in the apartment. For me, that is just another reason to NEVER have any visitors or in-person socializing.
There is just nothing comparable to Calmly and methodically preparing how one's death will be the least burdensome and demanding on others. For many others in a similar reality, acknowledging, understanding, and coping with the challenges would be minimal. Extending one's life duration and activities, for others, is usually much shorter. Denial is often the attitude of choice ... which simply accelerates health decline. A health services and medical system which rewards its personnel by discouraging any form of professionalism in exchange for clone-like following of technician attitude ROUTINES of sequences of tests and superstitious and spurious dispensing of risk-of-fatality drugs in place of reality and personalization driven Diagnostics leaves the participation of the personnel within the system minimized in Effectiveness and prone to Failure. Thousands (according to published Medical industry statistics) die every YEAR in Canada from drugs prescribed in error and medical procedures being performed incompetently. In the USA, in parallel to population increase relative to Canada, tens of THOUSANDS of patients die from these causes ANNUALLY.

Loss of Assistance to Others.
L Index
In response to a Severe Whiplash in the late 1970's, I developed awareness and skills to minimize the pain and release the PTSD pattern of Energy Blocks which had reactively stabilized the injury symptoms and related physical difficulties. From then forward, I fine tuned my Balancing Therapy process and found great JOY and fulfillment in both helping others recover from long-term behavioral and declared fatal medical problems. As time progressed, I provided this service to an increasing number of persons until I was working 60 or more hours weekly at this.
With increasingly frequent and wide ranging use of my Spiritually-Guided (Prayer) skills, I was offered a position for 18 months researching and working with acclaimed "terrorist" groups encouraging them to change their perspective and reactive behaviors that resulted in their acting out their collective Rage against large groups of civilians. In one instance I was able to reduce the REAL casualties from PLANNED thousands to dozens. With an earlier intervention, not possible in this application, fatalities and destruction might have been reduced to nothing.
There is NO way to confirm these actions or achievements unless one or more previous clients were to step forward and testify. The details we covered in their therapy were highly Personal. To the end of avoiding the information connected with their sessions ever becoming compromised, I often provided them with a copy, and, destroyed all my records of the sessions. Straightforwardly, any communications and interactions with politically and militarily motivated persons and groups was also destroyed to maintain my Integrity and our Safety.
These activities led to persons recovering from stage 4 cancer, severe Multiple sclerosis, repetitive and challenged relationship failures, communication conflicts with business partners and executives, and the avoidance of many hereditary linked ailments. This ability to assist others in significant beneficial ways was almost terminated with the onset of this set of health problems. Had a Recovery been possible with medical help, almost certainly requiring open belly surgery, and had it been made early, many other persons could have been assisted, and, perhaps, the lives of many other innocent persons could have been saved.
Humans provide, or negate opportunities to endanger or assist ourselves and others.
We personally, and often with the support of others, have choices to enhance our skills.
Denied of health when the recovery depends upon others who have specialized required skills, both through a lack of ACCESS, and, by the institutional limitation of the provision and further development of such skills ... denies all those who could have BENEFITED from these skills, awareness, experience, and empathy access to what they have not and likely cannot find elsewhere.

Loss of Income.
L Index
Without the health to have the clear-headedness, physical strength, and stable communication facilities necessary for ANY work, let alone that noted above, Retirement was forced on me. With NO employment income and with my savings depleted several times completely through expenditures for BENEFICIAL supplements, therapies, and health enhancement devices ... almost all of which were excluded from any provincial health service financial assistance, there was no qualification for the payment of any income taxes. Early on, I was denied acceptance for Disability Insurance pension income because I had not made enough Taxable Income in the recent years of my disabling health realities. The reality that a physician, sanctioned by the government, might provide clear support for a diagnosis of likely long term disability ... was of NO relevancy to the bureaucratic regulations regarding the payment of income taxes. In other words, an applicant had to demonstrate that they had NOT been disabled, until recently, and then, without making any efforts or taking any time to recover, submit an application for Disability Pension, as if they had an attitude of accepted FAILURE to ever recover. Both Federal and Provincial governments LOST tax income by my having my ability to earn employment income halted, both short-term and longer-term.
My almost forced inability to use my skills to assist others also resulted in both their diminished Personal incomes and income tax obligations, as well as in the decreased incomes of their employees, partners, and spouses. These losses both for myself and others, also contributed to HIGHER healthcare requirements (for support services in support of unresolved medical issues for which there were almost always KNOWN means for Recovery), and, LOWER spending on acquisitions that might include furnishings, clothing, vehicle ownership and maintenance, investment services, residence maintenance, upgrades, and ownership, ... and food services ... to the benefit of INCREASED national employment and national ECONOMIC growth or stability.
EVERYBODY LOSES!

Loss of Relationships.
L Index
With an inability to plan for ANYTHING because of the requirement to effect intestinal washouts at ANY time of the day, and, with the IMMEDIATE occurrence of some dramatic symptoms ... like Fatigue, mental fog and disorientation, and, temporary vision problems ... social and religious participation had to be excluded from consideration. The alternative was to make plans and then find it necessary to cancel them, almost ALL of the time, at the last minute. This reorientation of Actual vs Preferred activities was unfair to impose on anyone ... spouse, partner, children, co-worker ... whom one loved or cared about in any positive manner, in my opinion.
This FORCED CONFINEMENT (could have been minimized or eliminated with improved MEDICAL care and illness recovery) was also abusive, lacking in consideration or caring, and totally selfish of the government oversight involved, and, co-dependent encouraging to any individual. For myself, and others in similar situations, one would have to be or become TOTALLY Self Directed, Humble, Spiritually inclined, Open Minded, Resourceful, and Emotionally self sufficient .. in order to make ACCURATE Choices relative to oneself personally, and in a TIMELY fashion .. for selection and quantity of supplements, segregation of food types, integration of holistic therapies, and daily or more often flushing of an intestinal system lacking in normal peristaltic actions. With so much awareness, effort, focus, and resources having to be LIMITED to oneself, the amount of SHARING possibilities remaining for the inclusion and participation of others becomes so minimal that any others nearby would find it difficult NOT to feel abandoned.
Such a DENIAL of relevant and potentially remedial MEDICAL healthcare is also was abusive and potentially PTSD encouraging in others who cared about oneself. It exposes them to an environment in which the CONSTANT was that I could die the next day. For these and other reasons, I separated from my wife, and after NO progress in abating the health issues for more than a year, I divorced her so that she could have a LIFE. A year later, I moved 1000 km away from her to Lethbridge, Alberta, largely in hopes of finding better healthcare and a possible health recovery. Throughout our separation and since, we have communicated by phone an average of 5 times DAILY. Initially, there were often durations of 1 hour of conversation. Since early 2020, with my symptoms increasing and those leading to a DECREASE in my communications abilities, these are often limited to 15 minutes or less.
For similar reasons, I contacted associates, some previous clients who had remained in contact with me, and others ... and conveyed to them that my occupational and health situation was of such a restricted nature that they would be best to consider me deceased as further communication would be complicated and untimely, and, my death seemed imminent all the time.
Other persons placed in these circumstances, without my training, awareness, and skills ... have responded in a number of predictable scenarios in the past and present:
- increasing dependency on those close to them,
- increasing demands for a frequency of ambulance services,
- increasing frustration of Emergency Department personnel,
- increasing use of addictions; drugs, gambling, eating, acting out, ...
- increasing physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse of family members,
- increasing feelings of despair, abandonment, impotency ... leading to suicide.
ALL of these tendencies, in my experience and assistance to others, originate in the presence of Energy Blocks, which 99% of North Americans harbor, and which CONTROL or Direct their Reactive behaviors in line with self-sabotaging behaviors. Fortunately, for me, I found out how to release these inherited and acquired PATTERNS and released ALL of mine by 2005, with most gone by 1999. As noted, most other individuals have neither awareness of, access to, or a benefit from Energy Block release therapies .. which I had provided for DECADES.

Loss of Trust.
L Index
From experience and example, I learned a long time ago to trust no one but God.
God has always been present and available for me once I learned to set aside satanic attitudes and beliefs and Respectfully, Humbly, and Sincerely ASK for answers. The Guidance of God, for me, has NEVER been wrong and has saved my life and improved my health thousands of times, and, enabled me to find the answers to help others millions of times. That means, that the most truthful and scientific approach to life is to Choose to partner with God. I released my Energy Blocks and CHOOSE for each question asked to follow the Guided answer. I don't always understand or like the answers, but, by consistent experience I know there are no better directions to Choose.
The next decision is how much trust to place in persons we have direct contact with.
Satanic forces burden us with a host of religious and political myths that fundamentally direct us to trust and follow, often without question, those HUMAN Authorities placed in front of us. Often, as truth reveals, these HUMAN authorities are often in their positions according to how unspiritual they have CHOSEN to be: how many promises made without any capability or intent to keep them; how many emotional and financial bribes they have accepted and made themselves obedient to others; how many lies they will knowingly make with the expectation that if they can be convincing enough they will be able to manipulate others to benefit themselves; how often they can reject responsibility as if they were emotionally infantile with the hope that by blaming others, or God, for THEIR weaknesses and errors ... they will escape judgement.
What so many do not see is that it is US who Judges ourselves by the Choices we make.
God is not judgemental, in my experience. By Choosing to make decisions without asking God what is Best for us, it is us who self-sabotage our Future and that for others. I learned that Trust is only Relevant when it is earned. Earning trust means offering only to do what you KNOW you can do because you have the experience of having done it before. Earning trust is being Consistent in being truthful, tactful, considerate, and honest ... because you Choose to be. Those who are dishonest, deceitful, traitors, and, hypocrites choose to Discard YOUR trust and mine.
Alberta Health Services, (and many other North American provincial and state health services) CHOOSES daily to manipulate its members by promoting ethics and goals publicly which they have shown an unwillingness to follow, for DECADES. They invite you to come to them for help, direction, and resources ... and then, when you do, they turn you away, ignore you, deny you, or make you even more ill, without acknowledgement or apology. That is what they did to me. They TAUGHT me, by THEIR actions and inactions, and, by their irrelevant and impersonal misalignment of tests to REALITY ... to Distrust them. That stole a great amount of my TIME and EFFORT in researching medical research and documentation to find MEDICAL options which I could implement for myself to better my health. The alternative: Let them kill me by checklist routines, apathy, ignorance.
This INSTITUTIONALIZED Defeat of Trust influences much of American and Canadian attitudes towards government services, politicians, and advertisers. While this is NOT an age determined REALITY, the more experience one has in the cultures involved, the more examples they will have personally experienced and/or heard of that involved others ... which reinforce this attitude of Distrust. That also encourages feelings of Depression, Helplessness, Abandonment, Frustration, Anger, and Conflict. The usual REACTIVE response, for many, is to enter a state of Denial, accept one's health symptoms, become ever more ill, become attracted to bogus and irrelevant advertise products and services, and, FEEL ever closer to extremist viewpoints that encourage actions of violence, conflict, demonstration, and, abuse of others. This PATTERN of enhancing disharmony threatens any form of democracy and any survival of the human species.

Loss of Participation.
L Index
When your symptoms include a loss of CHOICE over your energy, thinking, actions, and abilities ... participation is nullified. I could not make arrangements for business meetings, therapy sessions I could provide for others, get-togethers with friends and associates (even YEARS before COVID-19), telephone calls, or even voting. That EXCLUDES me from society and leaves any participation subject to encouraging a sense of distrust in others of me. Saying that you will attend, call, or meet IF you can ... sounds insincere to most people.
It is like being in water over your head and being unable to swim or float and having the lifeguard shout to you that they MAY throw you a lifeline. It is as if your vehicle breaks down late at night on a deserted road, in the middle of the countryside as you travel between two cities ... phoning the police for assistance, and being told by the officer on duty, that he is just too busy to come now but will put you on his long list of requests and eventually get to you, sometime. It sounds like being on an operating table, split open like a fish to be filleted, and being told that the surgical team will finish after they return from a special banquet being given in their favor in another city. It reminds me of being told that I should vote, yet, there is no way for me to get to the polling station as I cannot find which one is acceptable for me, and, the taxis are all off work on holiday, and, my neighbor is away on holiday for an indeterminate time.
Loss of the CHOICE to participate because others exclude you, reject your membership, hide your credit cards, steal your clothes, and, sabotage your vehicle means removing your IDENTITY. You have ceased to exist, at least in the awareness of others.

Loss of Performance.

Since August, 2016, ALL areas of my previously ACTIVE lifestyle have increasingly been minimized.
In earlier 2016, I could have rapidly climbed 8 flights of stairs, 2 steps at a time, and arrived at the top without breathing hard. In mid-March, 2021, I can hardly take 6 steps without panting with hyperventilation.
To 2015, my wife and I had a positive intimate sensual and sexual relationship on an almost daily basis.
Since August, 2016, my libido is absent.
Until I SUDDENLY added 30 pounds of weight and considerable belly mass in 2016, I could easily and frequently bend over from the waist and touch my toes; since early January or before, 2021, it has become increasingly difficult for me reach down to pull on boots or shoes without compressing my lungs to the point of gasping for air, and of having to use much energy to force myself to reach out and down.
I could have easily carried on conversations that extended into sessions that could run 12 hours long.
Beginning in early 2020, this "active" participation duration has continually and with increasing rapidity diminished. Now, from December, 2020, I cannot continue a conversation for longer than 10 to 15 minutes without losing recall of words, phrases, and events. Out of the conversation mode and solitary again, my communication and recall abilities return in 30 to 60 minutes. This highly limits conversations during medical and other appointments as well as those by telephone to friends and relatives. This is a KNOWN symptom of Echinococcus multilocularis invasion of the brain. It is not known to be associated with any other MEDICAL adversity.

Loss of Driver's Licence.
L Index
On December 09, 2020 I was unable to renew my Driver's Licence as the Alberta Government requires a Medical Examination to support a renewal for persons 75 years of age or older. Details are available at 780-427-7013, or, outside Edmonton, one can call 310-0000 and be redirected from there. I had not needed to use my Licence since June, 2017 when I drove a 5 ton truck from Gallagher Lake, British Columbia to Lethbridge, Alberta, a distance of approx. 1000 km. I had hoped to recover my health and rent a car from time to time to take short trips around Alberta.
In spite of my efforts, I had neither recovered nor found a doctor or specialist who was willing to sincerely assist my recovery, or effectively contribute to same ... until December 31, 2020, which was likely too late once other delays are included for the participation of Specialists and surgeons. I could have asked a Family Physician to lie on my behalf in the completion of the 3 page Medical Examination for Motor Vehicle Operators form ... and one actually offered to complete the forms seemingly oblivious to the expectation that an interview be conducted, that an HONEST review of medical symptoms be considered, and the possible likelihood that an accident involving the death of others and myself might occur ... but I have never, and will never ask others to lie for my benefit.
An occasion arose in mid-2020 when my then Family Physician, likely well intentioned completed a form for my rental application in which she lied. She had completed the form with NO feedback directly from me and several answers, which I considered important, were answered incorrectly.
I wrote a letter to the doctor, which was scanned into my file, explaining that I could not, and would not use the form she had completed because it contained errors and I would neither ask her to lie, or place her in the danger of being found later to have lied by some form of Authority which could jeopardize her career.
So, I am left without a Driver's Licence because ...
- I experience occasional blackouts with no warning,
- The required Renewal Medical Examination could not be LEGALLY completed,
- The Medical Examination for Motor Vehicle Operators was not submitted,
- The fee of $94.00 for a 5-year extension was not made,
- My health continued to worsen.
Until 2022, in Alberta, a VALID Driver's Licence was required for an Alberta resident to obtain ACCESS to their Alberta Health Services MEDICAL profile to view the results of medical laboratory tests. In 2022, an Alberta resident can now obtain a photo IDENTIFICATION card for $50.00.

Loss of Use of Hard Earned Significant Positive Skills.
L Index
From later in the 1980's and particularly during the late 1990's and through the 2008 to 2014 periods, I was able to work full-time at improving my provision of Balancing Therapy and assisting many persons and those they interacted with. When I wasn't working as many as 5 jobs at once, I was spending as much as 60 to 70 hours weekly planning and delivering Balancing Sessions, and later researching the long family histories of enraged political activists (terrorists) and communicating with them. Those efforts came to a sudden and almost complete end in August, 2016. My drastic change in health at that time immediately cut my "work" time in half and greatly increased both my financial costs and efforts involved in maintaining my health. The unwillingness, inability, and self-sabotaging efforts of initially the B.C. Health Services, and for the much longer intervening time, the Alberta Health Services has DENIED many individuals the REAL benefits they would have gained from my skills and efforts in partnership with our God.
AHS and Meditech will be assessed as DIRECTLY responsible for those losses to many potential clients. I was able to assist many different persons in terms of their difficulties, Energy Blocks, Acute illnesses, and other medical problems NOT addressed by almost any Medical approach, and seldom by any other health service. That is what is possible when one Chooses to work with God and choose to go and do what God indicates is BEST for oneself and for others. Many illnesses can be remedied energetically by the release of the Energy Blocks which a person has acquired through heredity, personal experience, and the satanic attitudes and values often conveyed upon us by well-intentioned teachers, priests, ministers, parents, and other persons powerful in our perception.
I was fundamentally able to assist such a broad range of INTENSE persons because I was Gifted at birth with a Basic Personality that valued the Spiritual as well as a number of other Capabilities (STRENGTH). These are Interests which if one Chooses to develop them can become Abilities (Skills) which can then go forward to be employed, by Choice (if without Energy Blocks) for much good, or not. I was also Gifted with a seldom acquired set of STRONG Identity Factors (Spirit, Ego, SuperEgo, Reptilian Structure, Basic Personality). The Challenge was that I was also born with an inherited bundle of 145 Energy Blocks which act as Attitude and Behavior Addictions which prove to be Self-Sabotaging and generally destructive to those near one. After many challenges of Choice I had the opportunity to develop a Balancing Therapy to release these Energy Blocks. From then on, with the IMPACT of personal experience of the turmoil, negative emotions, instigation to rage, violence, and vengeance, and, what life was like WITHOUT such satanic drivers, I VALUED any opportunity to assist others in releasing those Energy Blocks which THEIR life system was ready to release.
Those early life experiences provided me with the REAL life experiences necessary in order to feel Empathy ... to know WHY and HOW others could feel and be motivated, and, Act Out without Choice, unless compromised by one or both of a STRONG Ego, SuperEgo or Personal Spirit, ... often in destructive ways. I could have become a historically early political activist (terrorist); I Chose not to. I could have become a vengeful mass murderer; I Chose not to. I could have killed the group of drunken men who attacked me and 2 friends; I Chose not to. I could have joined the Armed Forces as a sociopathic killer and reveled in the murder of other who I did not identify with; I Chose not to. I could have become an incestuous father; I Chose not to. I could have become a robber; I Chose not to. I could have become exceedingly Rich at the expense of many others; I Chose not to. In all of these cases and others, I rationally was justified in going ahead, rather than to the side. In ALL of these circumstances there was a STRONG desire to ACT and destroy; I Chose not to. With my Energy Blocks I had acquired the information and developed the skills. ANY one or all of the Choices would have been EASY.
With the release of my own Energy Blocks all those "instinctual" reactions and personal turmoils disappeared, forever. What I was left with was the experiences and feelings that allowed me to EMPATHIZE with many others who were finding themselves being driven down such dark roads. You cannot ASSIST others to CHANGE if you cannot Communicate with them. By acknowledgement and acceptance, I found I could open the minds of others where legal and political military style reactions usually expand community rage and violence by imposing MORE Trauma than by offering Resolution.
That ability to understand others and to work with those who wanted to better their lives was a real JOY for me. Failing to make any but the most MUNDANE and irrelevant efforts to assist me with these more recent MEDICAL challenges robbed both myself of that Joy and the many others of their Escape from some form of persistent life Failure. Hopefully, THEIR failures will not impact upon those who failed to be Professional because they were only following orders. Every abuser and dictator relies for their Power on those around them simply following orders.
Few REALITIES are as simple as Black-and-White.
Releasing Energy Blocks I have seen change people's genes, attitudes, behaviors, communication styles, relationship harmony and leadership skills ... on an IMMEDIATE basis. I have also seen the 4th stage cancer change to remission overnight as well as other "terminal" cancers abate quickly. Still, there are disease conditions which were neither the influence of Energy Blocks nor were encouraged by them. Exposures to HIGH toxicities of Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, GMO hormone and gene modifiers, and, forms of parasites (viruses, bacteria, fungi, biofilm, worms, protozoa, prions) that feed on the forgoing are our own political and industrial contributors to the abuse of and degradation of our bodies. This is when only surgery may lead to a positive outcome. This is the REALITY which I have faced for 5 years and God would never, in my experience, advise me that I should perform complex, extensive open-abdomen surgery on myself even if I had the relevant tools necessary and the experienced support team present. So, there is only the option of the participation of others who have the skill and the access to the tools required. And the only source of those, has successfully denied those services until now, the out-of-control Reality is too invasive and pervasive to recover from.
For many persons, devoid of the Pain Control, Crisis Response, and Spiritual Balance skills learned by John R. Sennett ... their outcome would have been either a much earlier death, a much more torturously experienced degradation of lifestyle and health than was necessary, or a choice of suicide. One third of CFS-ME patients are reported to resolve their misery by suicide as a result of the spiritual, emotional, and physical abuses they encounter from their medical authorities, healthcare providers and irrelevant black-and-white authoritarian media. This may also apply to THOUSANDS of Albertans, and many more other Canadians, who are essentially not only abandoned by their politically and privately financially limited healthcare services, but also by the prejudices they may be exposed to in receiving that care due to misinformation in their medical files.
Few "educated" people like the TRUTH because Truth demands Responsibility.
How do you hold the occupations of politician and physician responsible for what they perceive to be no different than keeping taxes as LOW as possible to justify re-election, and, following procedures sanctioned by controlling authorities so as to keep one's job, income, dignity, and popularity?
Loss of Hope, for Recovery.
L Index
HOPE in this experience, has several dimensions ... Spiritual, and, Physical Reality.
Access to Spiritual Guidance and a strong background in the study and analysis of spiritual and religious printed resources from many cultures, together with millions of accurate answers (proven through experience and application at 100%) to questions for the provision of Balancing Therapy both for myself and dozens of others ... I have acquired a wide ranging and multi-faceted awareness to history and REALITY. This has afforded me with attitudes and perceptions that have allowed me to cope with, and sometimes fully recover from, injuries and diseases ... which doctors have advised me I would NEVER recover from ... while maintaining a PERSONAL focus and set of boundaries with which I have been able to effect Positive and Constructive outcomes where rationally neither I nor others would expect such to be possible. With this VOLUNTARY Partnership with God, I have no Fear of Death, only of my not doing as much as God would want me to do.
This lack of, or significant diminishment of Anxiety, Fear, Paranoia, Judgement, Hate, Anger and Frustration ... have uncommonly enabled my Reptilian Structure to keep me alive and active through hundreds of experiences which have and would terminate the lives of others. Negative energy emotions add a weight of tension, delay, denial, projection, and REACTION to human life and WEAKEN immune functions and organ strength through a wastage of life energies. My survival has been an affront to incompetent, authoritarian, ignorant, and sanctioned medical service workers and institutions ... which are customarily PROTECTED from their Responsibilities by the death of their patient and the policies which deny the survivors of patients from legal action against them together with the government practices of denying autopsies of persons considered to be under a doctor's care, and, the REACTIVE assessment of causes of death being minimized to whatever is first noticed to be of a nature common to fatalities within the prevailing culture.
The PHYSICAL REALITY is quite another reality.
Provided with a constant, and uncriticized nor statistically supported news media and fantasy drama representations that Canadian provincial (in REALITY there is no authorized National policy) health services are both adequate, professional, relevant, and, available ... PERSONAL experience by myself and thousands of others reveals a HIGH frequency of denial, abandonment, superstition, malpractice, incompetency, and, technical dissociation (treating persons as things). Other Canadians, from Alberta as well as from other provinces, have chosen their savings, credit, and cashed assets to travel to other countries to access and pay for surgeries, therapies, and other treatment not available in Canada, and, DENIED in Canada through the politically imposed medical MONOPOLY. Pay-for-Service options are illegal in Canada. This form of access has not been available or chosen by me as I have used considerable personal savings and earnings to support my health over the decades through the purchase of health enhancing supplements, devices, therapies, and, lifestyle and location choices. I also chose, for several decades, to provide health enhancing services to others at a low income level to myself.
It becomes a repetitive DEPRESSIVE influence to DAILY experience symptoms which medical services could affirm a DIAGNOSIS for and provide an ameliorating, diminishing, or corrective outcome for, yet, AGGRESSIVELY DENY making such options available, partially by REFUSING to run RELEVANT tests.
First, beginning in August, 2016 health CHANGES provided a DAILY experience of a necessity to effect an unscheduled 2 to 4 hour intestinal flush Protocol, and, symptoms of constant Fatigue and occasional mental fogging. This denied most in-person social contact.
Second, for this report, since the January 01 of 2022, the DAILY experience has included a necessity to effect a 2 to 4 hour intestinal flush Protocol, and symptoms of constant Fatigue and occasional mental fogging, (Oxygen deficiency) a constant sense of being smothered. Occasionally, there were SWEAT attacks (suggestive of Physical Shock) during Protocols and when going to sleep, Vision fogging and eye irritations, Wheezing and occasional lung gurgling. A Prion symptom of language difficulty immediately diminished conversations from many hours to 10 to 15 minutes.
Third, for this report, since the beginning of March, 2022, this DISEASED LIFESTYLE has included a necessity to effect a 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hour intestinal flush Protocol TWICE daily, (Oxygen deficiency) a constant sense of being smothered, symptoms of constant Fatigue and occasional mental fogging, neck and shoulder stiffness to a point of spasm (WITHOUT any connection to inflammation or spinal subluxation), SWEAT attacks during all Protocols and when going to sleep, Eye fogging and irritations, Wheezing and occasional lung gurgling, Pains in the chest and abdomen, Tight belly skin before during and after Protocols, Thickening and peeling of heel skin, increasing Scalp irritation. Add to this occasional periods of Numbness in hands, arms, legs, feet (often on an individual nature and often on one side at a time), and increasing episodes of stiffness in hand, wrist, and ankle JOINTS. Prion symptoms of difficulty in speaking and hallucinations of sounds have also been increasing.
By April, 2022, I began having headaches which started soon after waking up and became significantly worse if I was concentrating my gaze on anything such as reading paper resources or info on the computer monitor. I quickly determined that this was not a result of a sudden vision prescription change ... something which had happened before, and that by wearing a Blue Light Blocking eyeglass shield over my regular glasses I could avoid this form of headache. It IMMEDIATELY, and continuing to this day, became necessary to wear the Blue Light Blockers ALL of my awake time. This included while watching television or recorded documentaries or movies, moving about the apartment, walking outside, taking transportation to stores and appointments, and, during time spent in stores or at appointments.
From mid-April, 2022, Noisy, deep, exhales (similar to a sigh) suddenly began during the enema portion of the intestinal flush protocols. These were neither consciously made nor able to be consciously avoided. They were AUTOMATIC and roughly paralleled the introduction of each enema bulb of water into the colon. Typically, the first set of injections of water, composing 1 750 cc container, were required to empty the lower colon and push the masses pushing against the colon externally to be moved out of the way to allow more stool to follow down from further up parts of the colon and the lower parts of the small intestine. These "Opening Up" actions were often best to be assisted by manually depressing the lower left and lower right of the abdomen-pelvic area, which pushed out of the way external blockages in these areas. There was never any sudden inspiration of air prior to the "sighs" and the sudden exhales were always NOISY, similar to air escaping under pressure from a container. Neither did they parallel the usual generation of a Sweat Attack which came to accompany all Intestinal Flush Protocols.
The ABOVE are symptoms present WITH the demonstrated benefit of SELECTIVE dosages of multiple supplements, a careful choice of nutritional items, and, about 7 to 8 hours of deep (coma) SLEEP daily. I have found it beneficial, and necessary, to use an Oxygen ventilator during sleeping since September, 2017. Originally, only a 35% oxygen concentration was available. The development of an improved model enabled a provision of 90% Oxygen from February, 2022. Alberta Health Services Specialists and the institution have sanctioned this as a NORMAL health status.
The remainder of my DAY must account for food acquisition, preparation and cleanup, personal hygiene (including daily Showers and multiple daily shaving demands), laundry, telephone calls (received and made), waste disposal, e-mails, online and other forms of Research, typing and coding of personal business and services Profiles, and generation of Reports such as this one. Typically, TIME and Energies available for this last noted task has diminished to an average of 1 HOUR per day.
With EVERY opportunity for a potential IMPROVEMENT in health services delivery proving to end in just another version of Diagnostic FAILURE and professional incompetence, and with symptoms INCREASING in number, severity, and difficulty in coping requirements ... HOPELESSNESS is never far, and is only sheltered by the HOPE gifted from my Spiritual attitudes and experiences. Most people do not have this SAFEGUARD. They either die prematurely, or, commit suicide. The Alberta Health Services institution, it political regulators, the medical personnel indoctrinators, and the physicians themselves ... are RESPONSIBLE for these, and eventually my, Death. That REALITY demonstrates that the system and its supporters are SOCIOPATHIC ... almost impossible of integrating Empathy, Relevancy, Spirituality.
Loss of LIFE.
L Index
I have been coping with an assortment of usually fatal MEDICAL problems, both present before 2016, added to in 2016, and, further complicated from time to time since mid-2017. Many illnesses gradually worsen over time until they are countered with some form of resolving INFLUENCE (herbs, homeopathics, rest, therapy, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, surgery, ...), or, until they permanently disable us or kill us. There are others that have definitive avenues for Recovery ... IF we have ACCESS to those demonstrated EFFECTIVE specifics we recover. Still others have THRESHOLDS at which they halt their expansion until influenced to Reactivate, or, until something Pauses their invasiveness, or, Accelerates it to fatality. In other words, there are numerous forms and dynamics to Health Recovery depending upon the destructive agent and its interaction with one's personal biological entity. Here is where I found myself in June, 2022.
Loss of Assets.
L Index
The impact of loss of possessions, savings, and earnings is seldom considered or reported on in studies and reports concerning the waste and losses involved with overextended disabilities and premature deaths. When I die, my executor will have to travel 1000 km from her residence to my latest apartment and give away, sell, discard, or provide each of my belongings. As a person who has spent much of my life working to afford greater success to businesses, employees, and, in particular, to persons who are seeking the option of making changes that can be beneficial .. I assembled a deck of index cards in which each card provided a specified preference or possibility for offering or giving an asset of mine to another person, organization, or other destination. To my awareness, this form of pre-death consideration is NOT done by many or most persons. This leaves such work to be undertaken by potential strangers interacting with other strangers. It is also likely that many relatives, friends, or institutional staff responsibility for such clearance simply discard the belongings. This can involve items which may be like-new, valuable, useful, or salable ending up generating a great amount of waste where many others could benefit.
A sudden or diminished realty of LIFE can influence anywhere from a few to many individuals .. most unknown to one another and at odds by distance or familiarity with communicating with and interacting with those that could benefit. With more than 30% of Canadians being reported as disabled and with tens of thousands of potential patients dying each YEAR for lack of access to medical care or to competent and adequately equipped medical care ... our culture is programmed to experience MILLIONS of dollars of unnecessary waste and loss. This is also the responsibility of the political policy makers who have created and continue to support Provincial Health Services whose actual outcomes have included ever rising WAIT times in health support and recovery. This is known and demonstrated to have continued within and across Canada, for MANY DECADES. As Sincerity, Humility, and Honesty could have corrected these dynamics, Class Action suits against the Authorities are deserved by their sabotaging ignorance, incompetence, and resistance to demonstrating that they are capable of CARING for the HEALTH of their citizens and the health of their ECONOMY.
As the reviewer may require or benefit from a reminder of WHAT these assets may afford, a short listing will be provided here:
- Air Conditioner
- Backpacks
- Baking pans, trays, funnels, ..
- Bookcase(s)
- Books, Journals, Magazines
- Card Table

- Towels
- Vacuum Cleaner
- Vehicles
- Water Filter system
- Water storage containers
- Window covers, blinds, ...
- Winter clothing (jackets, pants, boots, hats, shovels, walking poles, skis, snowshoes ...)
There are a great many persons in our society who could benefit from one or more of these items, especially if they were received at LOW cost or FREE. Some of these by category include these:
- homeless
- unemployed
- immigrants
- disabled
- wait listed
- addicted
- convicts
- abandoned
- traumatized
- neighbors
Closing of bank, investment, rental, and service accounts is also important, and, time consuming.
Doing so benefits from an organized administrative system of documentation together with instructions and the appointment of an available and skilled person. A failure to do so can result in continued accumulation of fees and a possible considerable hardship for the payments department of the various services as well as an obtaining of an authorization to collect and distribute funds, often in accord with an estate will, partnership agreement, or other relevant structure.
Taxation FORMS and MEDICAL FORMS, test results, pharmaceutical profiles and other similar documentation may need to be forwarded to a relative, associate, or discarded. E-mail and Internet accounts and website ownership and maintenance will often also require adjustment or closure.
The problem and difficulty here is that the requirement for these items to be disbursed and liquidated is FORCED upon the persons and organizations involved by the UNTIMELY and PREVENTABLE death of the citizen by way of RECOVERY options available (sometimes for DECADES) in other locations or countries yet DENIED or misapplied by local services which the POLITICAL entities freely publicize as EASILY available.

URANIUM poisoning - Permanent health weakness. LL Index
https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/t-urani.htm
This form of toxicity was confirmed as HIGH by a laboratory test in 2007 and has reduced numerous times since.
My movement out of the south Okanagan Valley location I was in and my use of filtered water has halted any further intensification of the cellular uranium toxicity. Selective diet and therapies have reduced this toxicity as much as is possible with the resources I have had access to.
Usually, uranium toxicities, in North America, go undiagnosed, untested ... and worsen to death.
In the USA, such deaths from this ONE form of toxicity have occurred in as little as 6 months.
Water Testing of drinking water, in Canada, to include toxic MINERALS in addition to biological pathogens could be a significant positive step towards Prevention and Diagnosis. While my levels have significantly DECREASED, gene and tissue damages encouraging many cancers cannot be healed to erase this health Weakness. Nothing further can be done, or is noted in any of the Scientific Medical literature I have reviewed, to reduce this susceptibility to tissue mutating diseases.

ECHINOCOCCUS MULTILOCULARIS - End-of-Life indicators. LL Index
https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/
b-Echinococcus%20multilocularis.htm
This parasite can be PAUSED in its invasiveness if diagnosed early and treated with specific anti-parasitics. While these drugs (there are no know effective herbals) are themselves toxic, like many pharmaceutical anti-parasitics ... they have never been shown to either kill or drive out the parasite. Surgery is the only known corrective, IF, done early enough. While the parasite in known to explode in internal numbers at various times for no known reasons, once it begins to spread beyond the liver, or another initial home location, more and more internal tissue must be removed to remove its destruction and presence. If it reaches organs which cannot be surgically excised, such as the brain and/or heart, both remedial and corrective options end. Until recent years, longevity with a known infestation was considered to range between weeks to as long as 5 years. The suspicion here is that I have carried it since August 2016 ... which as of June, 2022 sums to almost 6 years.
Disease SYMPTOMS which are unique to Echinococcus multilocularis (NOT known to be shared by any other pathogens) include
trouble talking, nightmares, numbness in hands and feet. ALL of these began suddenly in that once experienced, and never having been experienced previously in my life, they reoccurred DAILY. The trouble talking was evident when I was communicating on the telephone for longer than 10 or 15 minutes. The nightmares happened in tandem with my sleep periods (which followed symptoms of coma) and quickly escalating to 95% of sleep periods ... which usually lasted between 1 and 1-1/2 hours. Numbness in hands and/or feet occurred mostly on awakening and became heightened from early April, 2022. A live insect resembling what might be a micro tapeworm fell out of my scalp and into the sink while I was close shaving my scalp on April 07, 2022 and June 01, 2022. This part of the scalp had begun to periodically produce small bumps under a leathery dry area of skin. The worms were both alive and moving. I saved them both into a small white plastic container for possible laboratory analysis. My physician had no access to such and could not direct me to same.
These particular symptoms are regarded here as End-of-Life indicators.
That is, once present, there is no known way to pause or interrupt or stop them. They harken to a trend of increasing severity of health weakness until a fatal conclusion is reached. The only questions remaining are "How long will it take to reach death?" and "How will other present health challenges contribute to this timeline?"
While this parasite became suspected in my August, 2016 SUDDEN addition of 30 pounds of weight and significant belly enlargement ... without ANY change in diet or lifestyle ... and with a later caliper confirmation that it was NOT excess fat ... there have been several short (DAYS) periods since when my weight and belly size have increased by 5 pounds. This happened most recently in early May, 2022. This is a known and unique symptom of this form of infestation. No cancer or fat accumulation process has ever worked in this manner. As the bulk increasingly interferes with my digestion, elimination, lung function, and heart function ... the progression of symptoms now indicates that there is NO POSSIBILITY of remediation or recovery, even if surgery were available from experienced and competent surgical departments.

TUMOR, PITUITARY - Surgical Competency Doubtful. LL Index

pituitary-tumors/pituitary-tumor-symptoms
LINK 2: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/a-pituitary%20tumor.htm
GROWTH is a feature of one of the forms of Pituitary Tumor.
I originally experienced a sudden growth in abdominal mass and weight of 30 pounds within 2 weeks.
Other sudden additions of about 5 pounds of weight each with a BALANCED addition in mass of feet, legs, hips and torso occurred through 2018, 2020, 2022. Initially, these required that I change my footwear, socks, undershirt, briefs, trousers, and dress shirts to a LARGER size. Footwear and underwear eventually became a problem with the largest sizes available to me barely being large enough. These INCREASES were in the form of FIRM tissue, unlike the sponginess and segregated locations of Edema, and, unlike the softness of Fat.
LIBIDO Loss was also a sudden characteristic from August, 2016, and it is also a symptom of this same form of Pituitary Tumor.
REACTIONS to an Excess of breads, blueberries, potatoes, animal protein ... also HIGHLY suggest that a Pituitary Tumor could be a contributor, either in place of, or in concert with the Echinococcus multilocularis.
A brain CT Scan was eventually considered in early 2022 ... and denied because of the many CT Scans and MRIs conducted in recent times by Specialists following their technician routines ... which were irrelevant and of NO benefit.
Even if a Pituitary tumor was confirmed to be a significant contributor to my health difficulties, I would be best cautioned NOT to have any such surgery done in the Province of Alberta. With surgeons in this and other provinces following diagnostic and prescribing routines which minimize their actual experience of surgery, it would be miraculous to find and have access to surgeons and a surgical team who were COMPETENT in this area. Errors here result in lifelong SERIOUS hormonal and other problems as well as the potential for fatality.

PULMONARY ARTERY Tissue Obstruction - End-of-Life symptom. LL Index

surgery/pulmonary-endarterectomy-service
Mountain climbers refer to a Risk Elevation called The Death Zone.
Everything above 26,247 feet (8,000 meters) of altitude has such a reduced concentration of air molecules and oxygen that the body's cells start to die. Climbers' judgment becomes impaired, and they can experience heart attacks, strokes, or severe altitude sickness. High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) can be revealed by any one or a combination of a rattling or gurgling sound from the lungs, fatigue, a feeling of impending suffocation, weakness, and a severe persistent cough. I have coped with these symptoms since August, 2016. I have been treated in an Emergency Department TWICE for Pulmonary Edema (Blood Clots on the Lungs). No doctor ever seemed interested in finding out WHY I was experiencing the REALITY. They just wanted to prescribe Blood Thinners to a person who had a lifelong REALITY of Low Blood Pressure.
With extended Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) persons can experience loss of muscle mass and weight, difficulty sleeping, delirium. With the added difficulties of the other health limiting pathogens and toxicities, and, with decades of spiritual and mental skill building, together with a constant access to the benefits of Spiritual Guidance .. I avoided, or was protected from the loss of muscle mass and weight. A constant awareness of REALITY and the limitations of Fantasy and a life long anti-paranoia and anti-panic practice shielded me from delirium and suicidal depression. Difficulty in sleeping is a symptom of both chronic Hypoxia and Echinococcus multilocularis. I have rarely slept longer than 90 minutes at a time since September of 2015. As of June, 2022, it is as if I have lived, increasingly (from 22% to 98%) of the time in a form of preventable and recoverable from Death Zone which only MEDICAL skills and tools could remove.
This MEDICAL state was difficult to diagnose because the "professionals" treated their TECHNOLOGY as magical AI while devoid of what they could HUMANLY contribute: Relevancy, Open-Mindedness, a full Awareness of HOW the technology works (Intelligence - Training), and a consideration of the potential for MULTIPLE contributing factors.
First, LOW Blood Pressure will present LESS Oxygen to each cell as the blood moves more slowly and the intercellular fluid pressure is LESS than in more normal levels of blood pressure. As I have had lifelong LOW blood pressure, my efforts to INCREASE Oxygen retention during my teens for the benefit of Skin Diving would have countered this trend. A NORMAL symptom of LOW blood pressure is a tendency to feeling FAINT or WEAK ... from a low oxygen uptake. Yet, technical testing of oxygen presence in a FINGER will NOT have the efficacy of a more evenly balanced and circulated HIGHER blood pressure system. That is, SMALL areas such as fingers, may not be exposed to LOW Uptake to the same degree as a MASS of cells, such as are in any and all organs. So, we begin with a LOW oxygen uptake.
Second, TOXIC concentrations of minerals and heavy metals are all known to depress cellular energies and activities .. as if they were NOT receiving enough oxygen. They are simply not able to fully assimilate and use what is available. It is partially blocked. In extreme instances, the oxygen can be so blocked as to kill the cell. If enough cells are killed, an organ may fail. This degree of cellular challenge is one reason why these imbalances encourage the development of cancers and pathogen overloads of destructive forms of bacteria and fungi which increase the demand on oxygen supplies. If we ADD to the formula, the potential presence of oxygen robbing organic pathogens .. which may persist after we have reduced the mineral toxins. So, we may have multiple LIVE sources of competitors for the already LOW presence of Oxygen availability to the cells and organs.
Again, SMALL areas such as fingers, will not be exposed to LOW Uptake to the same degree as a MASS of cells, such as are in any and all organs ... because such are unlikely to have concentrations of pathogens unless they are near to necrosis (cell death).
Third, microscopic Parasites can travel through the blood and will themselves use some of the oxygen present. This can include Echinococcus multilocularis, destructive bacteria and fungi, viruses, prions. Again, SMALL areas such as fingers, will not be exposed to LOW Uptake to the same degree as a MASS of cells, such as are in any and all organs ... because such are unlikely to have concentrations of pathogens unless they are near to necrosis (cell death).
Some or all of the above contributors to LOW oxygen uptake are present here and may be so well scattered through the body, and, so well mediated by the coping choices being made, that they provide an underlying and background foundation for constant suffocation.
Pulmonary Endarterectomy surgery is HIGHLY indicated here.
A featured symptom of it is that one does NOT feel any weakness or oxygen starvation as long as one is supine. Soon after sitting up, standing, or walking (from seconds to a few minutes) .. one suddenly feels WEAK, FATIGUED, and Heavy. I have had this symptom since the beginning of 2022 or before. While this specialized surgery has been provided in England for decades, there are NO competent surgeons and surgical teams in ANY province in Canada. This is regarded here, now, as an End-of-Life symptom. Financial requirements do not enable me to travel to another nation for the surgery, and, any more dramatic Oxygen Deficiency symptoms will result in IMPOSED coma and death ... which may involve my falling unconscious and incurring other injuries.

HEAVY METALS Toxicity - - Permanent health weakness. LL Index
https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/
PER/r-chart-tests-urine.htm
HIGH levels of toxic elements were found in a 2007 laboratory test; levels have decreased since through personal detoxing efforts.
In Canada, according to the Health Services policies of the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, and likely most other provinces ... MEDICAL employees do NOT diagnose, do any testing for, nor offer any treatment to address significant parasite or toxic metal health challenges ... UNLESS, it is a virus discovered by another nation and projected to be of pandemic high fatality dangerousness. At best, a physician in Alberta may redirect a patient who suspects, or has private laboratory confirmation results of a toxicity, to a naturopath. Such a health focused doctor does have access to laboratory tests to confirm the presence of toxic levels of minerals, and, Chelation solutions to facilitate their removal. As their costs are neither subsidized nor covered by the provincial health services budget, cost to a patient for such service will sum to thousands of dollars, perhaps $5,000 as a reasonable consideration.
As in the case of the uranium toxicity, gene and tissue mutations and damages are frequent and not reversible. All one can do is remove the disruptive agents, stop the mutations, and lessen the possibility of those which have already taken place from influencing a continued mutation of other cells. This does NOT correct, reverse, or limit the mutations which have already been pushed forward.

Symptoms from prions can also be so specialized as to HIGHLY indicate their presence.
They also can be stimulated to begin, then PAUSE as that stimulation is diminished or removed, then reactivate.
Every reactivation provides a potential for destruction of more neural functions on a permanent basis.
These functions may be initially segregated to specialized patterns of application rather than to all uses.
Speech Disturbance had gradually developed over a period of 12 months from late 2018.
... the Interruptions were CONSISTENT in expression, SUDDEN in activation and exit, and near TOTAL in functional break.
Writing-Typing neural losses appeared SUDDENLY in early April, 2022.
Changes appeared within a 24 hour period and have remained constant since April 01.
While for decades I seldom edited or was Guided to do spell checks on documents of any length and complexity, NOW, I must edit and spell check by the paragraph. This ADDS considerable time and effort demands to any research, profiling, article, or report writing.
Prion neural breakages have NEVER been known to heal, reverse, or reduce in effect once in place.
As Prion expansion is best understood as dependent upon a LACK of brain ACTIVITY, and, as the COMMON symptoms allied with each of the diseases noted here are Fatigue and Weakness ... the door is ever opening wider for greater Prion disturbances.

In mid-September, 2023, I finally found scientific and health reporting information on Scalp Mites.
Infrequently found in scalp biopsies, partly because the labs involved were NOT to test for them, physicians were encouraged to "diagnose" scalp irritations as folliculitus caused by bacterial pathologies. This led to reactive prescribing of drugs unsuited to this ailment, and, in cases of THIS burden, useless, or even aggravating of the condition to a potential point of fatality. As this possibility was seldom, if ever, considered in ANY form of Autopsy, physicians had NO encouragement to learn of the option and decrease their ERRORS which could result in long-term patient suffering.
In 2014, after more than 7 years of searching for a diagnosis for my Scalp condition, I found an article written by an American sports reporter who had been experiencing a skin condition that sounded like my scalp problem. He had been to prominent dermatologists in 10 states across a period of 10 years. His last contact was the first to suggest a knowledgeable diagnosis. He was told that he had Hidradenitis suppurativa. Discouraging, he was also told that there was no known treatment for it or any chance of recovery. With this climax after coping with the ailment for longer than 10 years, and, with other illnesses coming into view that presented urgent health symptoms .. my efforts were focused on finding ways to cope with, or, recover from such individual complexities. Some diseases, as in the past, I would find or devise ways to recover from. Others I would eventually find solutions for, or, at least find a detailed description of WHAT they were. With Health Summaries and Reports continually growing in size and complexity, I soon forgot about including Hidradenitis suppurativa in them.

D. folliculorum mites live in or around hair follicles, feeding on the dead skin cells, oils, and hormones that build up there.
These mites usually live on the face, including the eyelids and eyelashes.
They’re very common. Scientists estimate that from 23%-100% of healthy adults have them.
But you likely won’t know you have them unless your skin acts up. You can’t see them without a microscope.
Small numbers of Demodex mites can be beneficial because they remove dead skin cells and extra oil on your skin.
As long as the amount of mites on your skin stays under control, you are unlikely to experience any problems.
Symptoms of Demodex folliculorum infection
- Rough skin
- Scaly, flaky, or itchy skin
- Redness or rashes
- Skin sensitivity
- Burning or stinging sensation in your eyes
- White flakes in your eyelashes
- Feeling like something is in your eye
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision? at times
- Inflamed papules and pustules that resemble whiteheads
Incorrectly diagnosed, the pathogenic presence receives NO beneficial treatment .. including abuse from frustrated doctors .. IF the ill patient returns.

Transient = Here, Gone, Returned, Repeat.
My experience, beginning suddenly, was that I could only CONVERSE for 10 minutes or less.
After that, I could not consciously form the thoughts and find the works to continue responding.
A 20 minute, or longer PAUSE in communicating and I could again begin interacting.
I could, when able to focus and with a clear brain, research, write, code, speak .. for hours.
In August, 2023, this ACTIVE timeframe was REDUCED to 5 minutes, or as little as 1 minute.
The REALITY which we seldom consider, is that Brain ENERGY required to communicated verbally
takes 8 times as much ENERGY as simply the one way utilization of speaking, writing, etc.
Transient Aphasia means that a part of the MASS of the Brain has DIED; it is NOT regenerable.
|
It’s an unnerving experience to lose your ability to communicate, but it’s not that uncommon.
Aphasia can occur anytime the speech center of your brain is obstructed in some way.
Permanent aphasia is the result of brain damage, while transient aphasia can be caused by any number of fleeting environmental conditions.
Although most cases of transient aphasia are not serious, temporary aphasia sometimes suggests an underlying health problem.
Transient Aphasia Symptoms
Aphasia can affect your ability to use verbal or nonverbal communication.
It can affect your comprehension of both.
Depending on the underlying cause, the effects can be mild or severe.
Someone with aphasia may struggle to read, write, speak, and understand others.
It’s also common to experience a loss of feeling in the left side of the body, reflecting the side of the brain involved with speech.
Transient aphasia symptoms include speaking in short phrases, using sentences which only make sense to the speaker, using incorrect words or nonsense words, and using words in an incorrect order. Someone suffering from aphasia may misunderstand figurative language or have particular difficultly with fast-paced speech. But it’s important to understand transient aphasia doesn’t impair intelligence, only the ability to communicate.
According to the National Stroke Association, strokes are the leading cause of aphasia.
A stroke is a debilitating affliction that can render a person incapacitated for the rest of their life in most cases.
Recovery rates for this condition are low, as the majority of survivors experience some form of change in their speech, and language comprehension abilities. Aphasia refers to the latter, and it can be troubling for both patients and their loved ones to live with.
The use of hand gestures and avoiding frequent topic changes mid-conversation have ... proved incredibly beneficial when talking to individuals with aphasia. Miscommunication will be less likely the less complex the discussion and method of delivery are. With frequent and consistent script-based speech formats in combination with participation in speech therapy and stroke support group classes, your loved one will discover new ways to tackle what may seem at this point to be an insurmountable obstacle.
In addition to working with your doctor to ensure they receive proper care and therapy for their condition, hiring an in-home care professional to provide assistance to your loved one with aphasia is also a good idea. PPA (Primary Progressive Aphasia) and stroke-related aphasia certainly makes communication harder, but not impossible.
Causes of Transient Aphasia
A severe migraine can cause you to temporarily lose half of your vision.
That’s because the human brain is like an electrical circuit. Disrupting the brain’s circuitry can produce any number of effects, including temporary loss of vision and temporary aphasia. Although most cases of temporary aphasia are the result of migraines, aphasia can be caused by any number of things that create electrical interference in the brain.
For example, another cause of transient aphasia is a transient ischemic attack.
Sometimes called a mini-stroke, TIA describes when blood becomes blocked to a part of the brain for several minutes.
The short duration of the attack means damage is unlikely, but TIA can be a warning sign of a more serious problem.
Suffering from a transient ischemic attack means you’re at much greater risk of stroke, which is the most common preventable cause of permanent aphasia.
Transient aphasia can also be caused by an extradural abscess, which is an infection causing pressure on the speech center of the brain. Even seizures produce electrical interference, causing temporary aphasia.
And otherwise healthy individuals can experience aphasia.
Transient expressive aphasia (TEA) is a special form of aphasia that can occur when someone travels to a high altitude.
When our bodies are not acclimated to breathing at higher altitudes, breathing lower levels of oxygen in the air can create an electrical disruption in the brain. The result is usually a fairly mild form of temporary aphasia.
(A Pulmonary Artery Restriction ... which limits oxygen transfer from the lungs,
through the heart and around the body including to the brain.. could also produce this result. )
Treating Transient Aphasia
Depending on the source and severity of the temporary aphasia, it may not require treatment.
For people who do require treatment, antiepileptic medications are sometimes prescribed as a preventative measure.
People who suffer from migraine aphasia can sometimes seek relief with Botox injections.
If you or a loved one experience bouts of transient aphasia, consider carrying a card explaining the condition.
It may also be useful to have a pad and pencil if reading and writing skills are unaffected.
Depending on how frequently temporary aphasia occurs, diagnostic procedures may be necessary to look for an underlying cause, like infection. In other words, be sure to keep tabs on how often temporary aphasia occurs, and then keep your doctor in-the-know when it happens.

EXTENDING LIFE, YOU can get more LIFE, perhaps. LL Index
YOU can get more LIFE if
- you become AWARE of Significant SYMPTOMS of Dis-ease,
- you obtain an ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS,
- you have ACCESS to RECOVERY options,
- you have the TIME enough to use those options,
- you make Lifestyle CHANGES is and as BEST.
IF you live in either of many Canadian provinces, NONE of these ELEMENTAL Health Enhancement strategies will materialize.
You will be slumbered into self-sabotage by a consistent and long-term media PUSH on imprinting that YOU, the patient, is untrained and do not have access to technology options which enable the BEST approach to MAINTAINING health. The REALITY, in the experience of myself and many other Canadians, is that MEDICAL physicians and specialists, as well as many Alternative and Holistic doctors .. DO NOT learn ANYTHING about the Specifics of chronic and complicated (non-treated by political policies)
illnesses .. even if they are ENDEMIC. Instead, in the Americanized pharmaceuticalized approach to health, doctors are TAUGHT and REWARDED for only accepting and following the edicts that "there is a drug for everything .. and, we carry on from there IF the patient remains ALIVE, and Sick". Doctors are not provided with ANY time for constant improvements to their rushed and stress laden training by CRITICAL reading of SCIENTIFIC studies. Critical reading means that they have taken and integrated into their thinking the finding that as many as 80% of scientific studies and reports are garbage by virtue of poor DESIGN, and, PROJECTED conclusions.
As can be seen elsewhere in this Report and many others, obtaining an Accurate DIAGNOSIS of a COMPLEX health decline is almost impossible when one ONLY has access to Medical TESTS that have fluctuating SAFETY thresholds politically imposed on them, must use LOW Resolution scanning technology (like a Volkswagen Beetle) with the belief that it is equivalent to the BEST technology (Lamborghini), are restricted to a diagnostic INTERVIEW exposure of 10 MINUTES, and, NEVER receive any feedback or assessments of Responsibility and Quality of Service .. about Failures in prescribing or surgery .. leaving nothing to support learning and IMPROVEMENTS.
You can, as noted ABOVE, choose to integrate Health Enhancement options into your Lifestyle and BENEFIT from those .. even though few doctors, therapist, educators, or the media will provide you with ANY awareness of those or ANY encouragement for you to make ANY effort to incorporate them. But, if you have chosen to be Self-Directed, or even Spiritual Guidance directed ... what might you be experiencing as part of a new and blossoming REALITY of DAILY routines, necessities, cautions, and opportunities?
The Comments and Revelations shared below are those which I PERSONALLY am/have living/lived.
These are an INDICATION of what can be. Variations and options are endless and those ACTUAL for another person may share a context of TONE rather than of Detail. Also, the below are much more COMPLEX than will be experienced by individuals coping with one or several illnesses only. Still, the following will prepare you for what variation you are BEST to remain OPEN Minded to. MOST North Americans (endemic) experience High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and, Obesity .. not because they cannot be cured, but because these Health Professionals are NOT taught HOW, because most citizens are not informed of the possibility, and, because it is just simpler and more profitable to continuously prescribe drugs which SUSTAIN the illness .. than to have the patient RECOVER. Yes, EFFECTIVE solutions to these difficulties have been known for DECADES, and Denied by the Americanized technological DEPENDENCY on the Profit-by-Drugs policies. I have NONE of these, and, have not had ANY of these since I was born in late 1945.

The New Life: Foods and Nutrition. EL Index
Working with the Benefits of Spiritual Guidance, I learned DECADES ago that if I wanted to survive and do my BEST, I needed to Chose the Best and only Spiritual Guidance would indicate for me WHAT that Best was that I could have Access to. That included location, housing, foods, supplements, therapies, and many other options. The Challenge is that in our modern human extended society, the options at every turn have been multiplied into an endless array of complications. For FOODS, there are all the variables we have introduced to FORCE growth, pleasant appearance, longevity, and profit from almost every foodstuff we harvest from land or sea. With thousands of ADDITIVES (synthetic colors, tastes, smells), chemicals, heavy metals, GMO alterations, plastics, and storage contaminants ... ALL of which have been proven to be endangering to biological health, if one wants to maintain or extend, or improve one's health .. SELECTION is everything. Truly WILD and Organic produce, including animal protein and fats, have been demonstrated many times to be MORE nutritious than Cultivated crops by as much as 800%. That means .. eating 1/8th the QUANTITY of the one equals the nutrition of a cultivated produce. And that, also means that the CALORIE content of eating 8 times MORE food to get ENOUGH nutrition FORCES obesity.
For many years, although in an increasingly observant and almost obsessive manner, I have chosen my foods by what is AVAILABLE, Affordable, and the Ingredients list .. WITH an Awareness of what my Blood Type is most suitable to digest, and what foods are categorically KNOWN to be HIGHLY contaminated. Increasingly, I find that health encouraging foods from yesterday have been transformed by the growers and packagers into disease encouraging foods of today. It is no longer ENOUGH to check as to whether a particular product is SAFE, one must also be aware that differences can arise between a product NOW and one which may have been Beneficial, for decades. Also, difference can arise between batches, lots, packages, and stores. With all of these conflicts present, my SELECTION of foods best for myself has become Very Particular.
What is NEVER discussed or observed, or cautioned in any health or medical reference is the challenge of integrating into one's diet what is best for oneself, and, what is Best for a parasite (fungi, bacteria, prion, virus, worm) which you may be defending against within your body. If I am eating foods which also encourage a fungal overgrowth, I am NOT eating for health. If I have more than one invasive organism and what restricts the growth of one accelerates the growth of another, I either find a balance of how much MINIMIZES the growth of both, or all, or, I slowly CONDEMN myself to a slow (days to months) deterioration of health towards an earlier-than-normal death. In MY situation (2020 onwards) the following are some of my considerations ..
- SUGARS are loved by Aspergillus and Candida fungi;
- PROTEIN is loved by Echinococcus multilocularis and other worms;
- Minimized MENTAL challenges and longer sleep periods are loved by Prions;
- FATS (some, depending on blood type) accelerate the growth of Circulation blockages;
- CULTIVATED foods tend to supply Heavy metals and Uranium contaminate to accumulate faster;
- HORMONE imbalances tend to grow Tumors and Cancers faster than when they are Balanced;
- EVERY MEAL or snack provides an opportunity to Diminish or Encourage health.
The Health Enabling combination of the above is DYNAMIC.
There is no ritual, prescribed, or typical ratio or quantity of each which is never changing.
Yet, I do SIMPLY the process by making it ROUTINE to Calmly question how much of each is BEST for each meal.
Get it wrong, and my health worsens. With the multiplicity of politically and culturally ENCOURAGED diseases I have, ANY step towards worsening cannot be recovered. Since the ratios are almost impossible to maintain as best always, and, as I have been coping with this dynamic since August 2016 due to the DENIAL of Canadian healthcare .. I have lived LONGER than most humans encountering any ONE of these disadvantages, by YEARS, or, many months. Will YOU?

The New Life: Protocol of Flushes. EL Index
Since August of 2016, I have found it necessary to flush out my colon and part of my small intestine at least once DAILY. Due to my finding ways to work with my Reptilian Structure to minimize PAIN, I do seldom experience any pain to indicate that my bowels are too full of stool. Digested foods, remaining too long in the gut, begin to leach into one's blood. Contaminated blood, if one is reasonably health, tends to express symptoms VERY slowly and gradually in reference to the degree of contamination. One's awareness, brain function, energy, digestion, and alertness gradually diminish with an almost imperceptible reality. As function deficiencies are INCREASING, Awareness is DECREASING. If one does not reverse the trend, fatigue sets in, unconsciousness can result in blackouts, and coma and death are in the NEAR future. Yes, I have blacked out. Yes, I have gone into a coma. Yes, I fortunately have a STRONG Reptilian Structure (spinal and hind brain nerves) which has brought me back to consciousness in time to effect intestinal clearance. Few people have such an educated Reptilian Structure.
What I term a "Protocol" refers to a procedure in which I inject 750 ml containers of warm water into my anus by way of a rectal syringe. A complete flush involves using anywhere from one to four containers. ONE means there will necessarily be a requirement for more flushes. TWO containers proves to be the optimum minimum. THREE containers are truly a goal to attempt. FOUR containers are possible and beneficial rarely. The more fluid introduced, particularly recently when other intra-abdomen pressures are building, and the more pressure is placed on my lower spine .. suggestively replicating a pinched nerve. Repeating a fill-and-flush procedure more than 3 times, for me, is a danger. By the end of the 3rd flush-out, my anus is irritated and may be burning in feeling as it is being irritated by the highly ALKALINE intestinal chyme, which usually does not make it this far out of the intestines. If the desired flush-enough level has not been reached, another protocol will likely be best, or required, within 2 to 4 hours. Protocols, for me, usually take between 90 minutes and 3 hours, although they have been much longer during earlier times.
This dynamic is fundamentally imposed by a LACK of intestinal peristalsis.
Taking even TWICE the Adult dose of an intestinal purgative has resulted in NO EFFECT, in preparation for a medical scan.
DAILY flushing out of my colon and lower intestine has, for many years, kept digestion and elimination in balance for me. That has changed, from time to time, by Aspergillus blockages forming in the intestines .. which would only dissolve and release with my taking of the drug MANERIX (Moclobemide) .. which increases the amount of Serotonin hormone present, and is one of the very few ingredients known to EFFECTIVELY destroy Candida and Aspergillus. If and When I need Manerix assistance, taking a standard dose, for me, results in my intestines becoming able to be flushed within as short a duration as 20 minutes, and always, within 2 hours.
Diet can be an aggravant, but is not the only one.
More recently, since the beginning of 2023, the expansion of (cancer or cancers and/or Echinococcus multilocularis tumors) in my belly have now CONSTANTLY pushed inward on my intestines and squeezed them off to further movement of stool, or even gas. This change has made intestinal flushes MORE complex and difficult. I am no longer just hydrating compacted stool and facilitating its movement, now, I am having to push away whatever is EXTERNALLY blocking my intestines. Until I can introduce 1-1/2 litres of water into my intestines (by rectal syringe), or as much as 2-1/2 litres .. I will be back to the bathroom for a further attempt within several hours. Patience, persistence, and confidence are elementary. As with most of these Life Extension options, Fear, Panic, Confusion, Aggressiveness, and Ignorance will result in FAILURE. It is what it is. So, I deal with it the best I can with what I have to work with that can Benefit.

The New Life: Sleep durations. EL Index
Consolidated sleep patterns have become a pharmaceutical gold mine costing Americans hundreds of millions of dollars in drug prescriptions as antidotes to the fragmentation of sleep by a multitude of commercially promoted biological distractions. Long hours of the use of blue light dominated devices including most cellphones, televisions, and computer monitors disorients the Reptilian Structure's rhythms with the Circadian Rhythm that structures sleep. Shift work and electrical lighting being used after sunset and before sunrise also encourages a disrupted sleep cycle. Yet, a close examination of prion dynamics (which includes many forms of dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, and some mental illnesses) reveals that brain inactivity ENCOURAGES prion spread and neural destruction.
In mid-2017, I gained access to an Oxygen Concentrator device which modified atmospheric air into increased percentages of Oxygen through steps up to a maximum of over 90%. I had sought access to oxygen supplies, often available to MEDICAL users through welding supply firms, on an authorization by a physician or respiratory specialist. I could never, over a period of years from before that date to more recent times .. because tests conducted of my LUNG oxygen showed normal levels. Still, no one could explain my CONSTANT level of fatigue, increasing in consistency and intensity since 2016, and, especially after 2018. Nor did any physician follow through to determine why I experienced a SEVERE case of "Blood clots on the lungs" on January 1, 2019 and in late 2020. So, with exclusive personal expense, I obtained such a device and eventually used it during any sleep period. It could be set to run for a number of time durations with the highest setting being 2 hours. It also had a non-setting of running continuously until it was turned off.
By early 2022, my Reptilian Structure would awaken me SECONDS before or after the Oxygen Concentrator shut off, partially to urinate. While the evidence increasingly confirmed that I was entering a Positive coma state during these sleep periods, I seemed to dehydrate during them, both by my circulation extracting water to my bladder, and, by my nasal passages becoming very dry. To avoid dehydration symptoms, it then became BEST for me to drink something before returning to sleep .. which then led to the next requirement for urination.
By early 2023, it became obvious to me that enabling my sleep periods to extend beyond 2 hours, by setting the Oxygen Concentrator to continuous operation, I was also incurring renewed Prion spread and function loss. So, the shorter time durations of sleep had additionally been contributing to my limiting prion spread. Back to the 2 hour timing.

The New Life: Walking & Climbing. EL Index
It becomes difficult to walk when a lower back injury pinches sacral nerves to provide excruciating PAIN when a foot presses against a floor or other surface, and, when almost ANY use of the leg also results in extreme PAIN radiating through the LEG with NO sensory connection to the spine. THAT happened to me in November 2018 leaving my Right leg unable to support me fully for the next year. During that time I would use a walking cane to assist me in walking while I had Endural Nerve Block injections into my spine every 3 months for a year.
It became nearly impossible to walk from January 01, 2020 when while in the Alberta Lethbridge Chinook hospital being treated for Blood Clots on the lungs, I must have experienced a STROKE shortly before being discharged. This went unnoticed by the staff, and I became increasingly aware of the situation and the extent of the SIGNIFICANT symptoms AFTER leaving the hospital. Being increasingly dependent on walking for getting around, the NERVES directing the micro-movements of my LEFT foot appeared severed. Physiotherapy was of NO Benefit, partially because I could NOT do ANY of the expected recovery exercises. The muscles to be strengthened did NOT move, at all. I consciously detailed the micro-movements undertaken for walking and the sequence. I mentally divided the movement of walking with that foot and leg into what would become a sequence of impulses driving a smooth movement.
In terms of Positive Patterning of the body I had a history of involvement in Chiropractic adjustments (1953-Present), Naturopathy (1956-1962), Yoga (1960s), Tai Chi (1977-78), Kinesiology - Touch for Health (1979), Qi Gong (1980s), Balancing Therapy (1988-Present), Homeopathics & Tinctures (2003-2007), Light Beam LBG Therapy (2005-2006), Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (2005-2011), Chelation Therapy (2005-2008), Trigger Point Needling (2006-2008), The Lightning Process (2008-2010), Emotional Freedom Technique (2008-14), and the study of related skills and therapies. These seek to reconnect with original healthy patterns, or, to construct new healthy patterns.
Attending a seminar by Dr. Norman Doidge in 2008 on Brain Neuroplasticity was the most inspirational for what lay ahead. Taking the defined micro-movements of walking with my LEFT foot, I visualized each movement and encouraged my brain-Reptilian Structure to EFFECT the move. Very slowly and gradually, I began to use or develop new nerve pathways that involved each micro-movement linked into a sequential string that would duplicate a complete foot-leg movement. It took WEEKS of practice to make a fluid movement .. and then, to make it automatic. I could now almost leave the walking cane aside. At times of STRESS, or, rushing .. my brain could fall back into the original pathway and make walking impossible, for the moment. Once I focused and calmly reconnected with the new pattern, I could walk as if there had not been any pattern of disability.
Other health issues conflicted with the walking and stair climbing.
Likely Pulmonary Artery Blockage meant that I NEVER got enough OXYGEN to my heart, and from there to the rest of the body. That left me feeling next to suffocating much of the time, unless, I ALWAYS remained CALM, Positive (NO Fear), and did not PUSH myself physically. With my Spiritually Guided lifestyle and my lifelong research and education in all things health oriented .. that was not so difficult, as long as I ACCEPTED that I would NEVER (increasingly) be able to once again become the HIGHLY ACTIVE person I had been, for DECADES, earlier.
My SAFE walking distance decreased to 100 yards, or even 100 feet, on the street.
Living on a second floor, my apartment access was by 17 steep steps. Going out or returning home often required a PAUSE after or before using the stairway. Taking the garbage and recycle out to the dumpsters and bins required hyperventilation to get me DOWN the stairs, OUT to the containers, BACK to the apartment, and, UP the stairs. That could mean 10 MINUTES or more of continuous hyperventilation. When I was a HEALTHY and ACTIVE adult, hyperventilating for more than a minute would leave me feeling dizzy and faint from the oxygen poisoning. An, you may already suspect .. hyperventilation requires accelerated ENERGY requirements. Persisted with for long enough and anyone would blackout from the Energy Deficit, or from the Oxygen Poisoning, or the combination. That means Personal Self-AWARENESS is KEY here.

The New Life: Supplements & oils. EL Index
I founded Balancing Therapy in 1986 with the support of Spiritual Guidance.
From that point forward I would continue to develop the therapy format and to find that Spiritual Guidance could provide ACCURATE indications of WHAT would be best for an INDIVIDUAL to eat as food, and, take as a supplement, WHEN to have those (as timing could change on a daily basis), HOW MUCH of those ingredients would be BEST, and even WHERE to buy those items in terms of Accessibility and Quality. Until 2016, those selections were somewhat stable in number and persistence, yet, as my Awareness and selection SKILL grew so did the PERSONALIZED nature of such items together with an understanding of how one LOT of a food or supplement might be contaminated with Heavy Metals, industrial chemicals, harmful bacteria, Genetically Modified (GMO)_ transferable biological activator, or other harmful substances. When my health STATUS dramatically and suddenly changed in August, 2016 ... a SEARCH for MEDICAL assistance and a diagnostic understanding was sought for the next year.
NOTHING of benefit to my health MEDICALLY happened through mid-2016 to mid 2017.
I then moved to Lethbridge in the province of Alberta and sought medical assistance there.
Within WEEKS, it was evident that the MEDICAL industry would progress very SLOWLY, if at all, in terms of a meaningful diagnosis and possible treatment and I was BEST to launch an all-out EFFORT of TREATMENT by confirming if specific foods and specific supplements could contribute to a RECOVERY. By the beginning of October, 2017, I was using DAILY specific doses of tinctures, vitamins, minerals and detoxification agents .. as Spiritually Guided. QUANTITY of pills, drops of tinctures, and repetition of doses .. of QUALITY products were determined as RELEVANT and taken as a schedule.
I termed these Selections as "DETOX CYCLES".
By the beginning of December, 2017, my research, my access, and my selection of ingredients in this Nutritional Treatment had grown to a list of 40 items from which a group of most items would be BEST, for the day, according to specific strengths and quantities. Before the end of January, 2018, I had a list of 45 items assembled into a Daily list FORM on which Quantities of each could be recorded together with which few items were NOT going to be used for that specific day. By August 4, 2018, the number of supplement and tincture items had expanded to 56 and on that day a selection ability to choose 1 or more of 7 DEVICES was added. Consider that a supplement OPTIMUM dose for ME on that day could range from 1 to 10 pills, might not include more than half the items for tat day, yet, might equal a combined dosage of 50 pills or more. For combined daily amounts larger than 15 pills, it meant taking ratios of those specified in lots of 12 to 15. I could not swallow more at any one time. The devices included the use of one or more of a Blood Electrifier, Magnetic Pulser, Oxygen Bar, Sonic Massager, UV Sanifier, Water Filter, and Essential Oil Diffuser. It became necessary to make a 2-column FORM with smaller type.
The FORM was changed to a List of Enhanced Aids - personalized - daily ... from Detox Cycles.
More DEVICES were added and on some forms as many as 235 pills (2019-04-20 through 25) would be indicated which had to be spread out across multiple days. This was no longer for "Recovery" purposes and possibly never was. It was evident now, confirmed with Spiritual Guidance that these "Aids" were to RESOLVE some health problems, PAUSE others from further intensifying, and provide some form of Balance between one or more health problems which were STOPPED by SOME supplements, yet, not at the expense of others which would be Accelerated in influence-toxicity-destruction if too much of one or more supplements were taken at any one time. And so, I continued until mid-January 2020. At that time a THRESHOLD had been crossed. MOST supplements and most Devices would no longer provide ANY benefits. The underlying Significant diseases and/or health challenges had now, almost unperceptively grown and enabled the persistent overgrowth of Aspergillus (and its associated intestinal blockages), Biofilms, and, allowed for the adaptation of some ailments (Prions, Micro tapeworms, Pulmonary artery blockages) to integrate SOME substances as BENEFITS to THEIR invasiveness-spread. From now forward, MANERIX would prove to be an almost daily importance, and, large amounts of Magnesium-Calcium-Zinc-D3 and a few other supplements would be a DAILY necessity.
Eventually, blood thinners became an almost daily HIGH adult dose necessity together with a HIGH adult dose of Manerix. While the numbers of supplements and prescription drugs were LESS, the Quantities were MORE than previously. Also, DAILY dosages of each might remain the same for a time and then suddenly change. AMOUNTS had to be EXACT. One pill too much or too little could accelerate symptom intensity. Thanks to God and the always available (to EVERYONE) of accurate Spiritual Guidance, I got the selections and amounts correct over 99% of the time. Also, the use of DEVICES sank from Frequent to Seldom as the Health Destroyers adapted to benefit from those also ...
- Blood Electrifier was adapted to by the Micro tapeworms to stimulate their spread and health.
- Magnetic Pulser was adapted to by the Prions to become an accelerant in their spread & destruction.
- Sonic Massager was adapted to by the the Micro tapeworms & accelerated the deposit of blockages in the Pulmonary ....
- Essential Oil Diffuser benefits depended upon WHICH COMBINATION of Essential Oils was best for that day.
- Oxygen Bar and Water Filter had to be used constantly, as in EVERY day, multiple times.
That leaves me now, 2023-02-20, with the health sustaining dynamic of using JUST ENOUGH of some supplements, an EXACT combination of Essential Oils for the diffuser, and the RARE use of some health enhancing devices, WHEN optimal. And, if and when my ONLY supplier of the optimum combination of Mag-Cal-Zn-D3 ran out of stock just when I needed a reorder, and DID for the first time in early February, 2023, .. using a combination of the separate items just never could be optimally devised. I did get a resupply in time, and I am here to write this section.
Yes, this DYNAMIC of the Provincial Health Services politically restrained bureaucracy DENYING accurate (or ANY) diagnoses, PREVENTING Recovery treatments (often surgeries provided for DECADES in other countries), and, accelerating fatality numbers and healthcare COSTS ... SACRIFICES the SKILLS and Abilities of some persons, such as myself, who have DEMONSTRATED previously that they were willing to Assist many disadvantaged persons to recover from near fatal diseases, bring forward to Balance and Health many relationships, and, relay greatly beneficial information on innumerable topics to others ... signals WHY and HOW the human species will become extinct.

The New Life: Conversations & Speaking. EL Index
Early in 2022, I suddenly, and consistently, experienced an inability to carry on a conversation with most people for longer than 10 minutes before I lost the ability to find the words I wanted to use and were most familiar to me. Conversing with a Very Few persons with whom I had a close relationship to could be extended, on occasion, to 20 minutes. If I was simply TALKING, I could easily talk for an hour. Previously, before the fatigue and sudden weight gain of August, 2016 set in, I could, and did, provide some Balancing Sessions which endured for as long as 24 HOURS .. which involved continual conversations. A more average time for such sessions was 4 hours. It quickly became apparent that interacting with other people required much MORE brain power than simply talking.
With a little research and the assistance of Spiritual Guidance, it became revealed that this was a Prion influence. Prions dissolve neural functions. If I did not want these forms of neural disabling events to expand I would be BEST to AVOID prion encouraging dynamics. I learned quickly, once on this path, that a PAUSE in DAILY mental challenging work, usually on the computer expanding and creating Profiles, or, researching and creating Monographs and Reports such as this one .. would enable prion spreading. Added to this was the necessity to Accept and continue with the sleep pattern of 2 HOUR or less sleep per episode.
Socializing had been significantly minimized by a number of other factors connected to one or several of my diseases. Now, the 10 minute conversational limit enforced an AVOIDANCE of socializing with a necessity to advise conversational partners with whom I might converse longer,that this WOULD happen. Together with the 10 minute or so limit went a 20 minute or so RECOVERY time period. That is, after I had STOPPED conversing for a duration of at least 20 minutes, I would suddenly regain my full ability to recall words and form sentences .. for another 10 minutes or so. This would also frustrate phone calls for the purpose of resolving problems with Customer Service personnel, discussing order details, and, reviewing medical test results and specialist conclusions. This could be YOUR life if you fail to learn from my experiences and REALITY.

The New Life: Homecare Dependencies. EL Index
I learned NOT to be afraid of Death early in life, partially by mystical experiences, partially by the study of Spiritually inspired texts, and greatly by by learning how to access Spiritual Guidance. It increasingly became apparent to me also that if I were going to CHOSE to follow spiritually promoted ethics of Honesty, Truth, Compassion, Understanding, Peacefulness, and the REJECTION of Satanically driven ethics (materialism, greed, abuse, competition, violence, lies, and dishonesty), I would have to be willing to take a stand which could, and did, sometimes become life threatening. Once I learned how to rid myself and others of Energy Blocks, this ATTITUDE became easier to maintain in Behavior. With a minimum of self-sabotaging satanic imprinting (common in Sports, Consumer Sales, Politics, Competition) the adoption of this ETHIC was easier than it is for most other persons.
Many Aboriginal and many Rainforest bands, untouched by the DESPERATION and Overpopulation of colonizers ... death at a time of elderly inadequacies or health deficiencies is ACCEPTED as BEST for the community and for oneself. If one cannot care for themselves they invite the shame, pity, and imposition of others that their functional LOSS demands for a DESPERATE grasping to stay alive. Recounts of ill and weak elders walking away at night into a forest or blizzard to meet their God are numerous. Everyone remembers them as they were, participating in the community in health. I share the sentiment since I found I could access Spiritual Guidance and that God ALWAYS provided me with the directions and answers so that I could help myself and assist many others to improved health and better relationship and communication dynamics. The hypocritical negligence of the Alberta Health Services, and likely many other provincial health services, saves me from taking, or even considering, any ACTION of this Attitude. The political and bureaucratic institutions have imposed a termination on myself and thousands of others .. death by MEDICAL DENIAL and INCOMPETENCY.
The Votes-by-any-Means strategy has encouraged many Canadian politicians and their backers to TALK while walking backwards. In their effort to minimize health system costs to the taxpayer, they have denied and deceived the medical profession and the public into believing that TIME could be taken to properly administer interviews and build a health history, to run RELEVANT tests, to conduct medical scans with fully optioned equipment, to provide or suggest appropriate medications-surgeries-therapies for Recovery. This DECEPTION has resulted in a population of increasing numbers of patients with RECOVERABLE illnesses becoming ever increasingly complex symptoms and health degradations, and, ever increasing COSTLY illness SUPPORTS .. until their DEATH. By ACTIONS, the INTENTION of the politicians and health care system is to LOOK professional and SOUND caring while stabbing the patient in the back .. and rejoicing at their death. Termination means no further billings for appointments, for drugs, for therapies, for loss of employment time, for needlessly broken relationships, deferred funds for disability supports and Homecare, and, community destroying child care costs.
Without the Spiritually led ATTITUDE I have acquired, the Self-Directed ACTIONS I have taken, and the Basic Personality gifts of Searching for Answers, Effecting Solutions, Assisting Others, and, ever building an Intimate communication with God through improving skills in accessing Spiritual Guidance ... thousands of CANADIAN patients are REMOVED from their jobs, their families, from their lives. The STATE demands that disabled persons receive HOMECARE support which demeans both caregiver and patient, yet, provides GROSSLY inadequate funding and training to effect the requirement. The STATE and the policy makers within it regarding ANY aspect of healthcare are RESPONSIBLE for the TORTURE and Second Degree MURDER of THOUSANDS. If I had been TRUTHFULLY informed that the Health System would NOT support my RECOVERY from the beginning, I could have reserved my savings and credit to go to another COUNTRY and receive the life saving surgeries I required IN TIME. That CHOICE was taken away from me, and from many others .. by the LIES promoted for DECADES by those who satanically commit to helping and protecting the voters .. while demonstrating a conscious or unconscious LACK of Empathy for and Respect for the voters and those skillfully manipulated into BELIEVING that they were HELPING people-in-Need. May they be damned to the same degree of denial.

The New Life: Clothing for a New Reality. EL Index
MY evolving REALITY may NOT be yours or that of a person Significant to you.
It is constructive to be aware of a strategy which MAY become Directly applicable to you, or, which may be transformed by you, in DETAIL, but not in TONE .. so as to enable your life to be more pleasant than otherwise, and, longer-by-Choice.
Whatever happened to me near August, 2016, its influence touched off a number of additional health complications in the interim. Some of those could be resolved, as indicated on my website: https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/a-a-START-here-INDEX.htm . Other immune system distracters and employers would prove impossible to resolve without surgery or other dramatic options. One of those PERSISTENT and REPETITIVE symptom appearances was the SUDDEN addition of Weight combined with an EXPANSION of bone and muscle mass over large parts of the body. Only TWO sources of such a symptom are know as of 2022, mainly to researchers and rarely to physicians, medical specialists, and alternative doctors (at least in Canada). They are BONE CANCER, and, a Pituitary Tumor (Caution: there is more than one form of pituitary tumor .. GROWTH applies only to one). With the extent, and balance of the outcomes, Bone Cancer seems to be either unlikely, or only as a contributor to the outcomes. Were it the main or only contributor, one might expect certain and specific AREAS of the body to be expanding.
The SYMPTOM of Focus for this potential and accurate diagnosis .. is the sudden and short, almost immediate weight gain of 5 POUNDS .. seldom more and never less. This happened within a period of 1 DAY, with NO alteration in diet, exercise regime, or other lifestyle factors. Happening at the same time, and within the same duration, the bones and muscles of my feet, legs, belly, chest, and sometimes even noticeable with my head .. ALL would EXPAND in relative MASS. Socks and shoes would become tighter. Underwear, slacks, and shirts would become tighter. Sometimes the accumulated mass increases would even make hats and scalp coverings tighter. NO weight or mass could ever be diminished regardless of dieting, fasting, or weight loss supplements. Indeed, any of these latter options would quickly lead to other symptoms of illness which suggested a further introduction of a risk of fatality, unless STOPPED.
My weight had been 145 pounds, within a pound or two, for a decade (between age 18 to age 28), regardless of lifestyle or diet, until a trauma event at age 29 .. in a HOSPITAL. I was given a drug, AFTER the problem was resolved .. with the good intention that it would help me cope. I took it for about a month, and GAINED 10 pounds of weight which I could NOT shed. Ten YEARS later, I discovered that the drug had a side effect of Permanent Weight GAIN. That had left me at a STEADY weight of 155 pounds until August, 2016 (age 70). Then, within 10 days, I GAINED 30 POUNDS with no changes in diet or lifestyle. Between then and now (2023) I have asked physicians in British Columbia and Alberta to help me find the cause of WHY my belly suddenly expanded so much. Only ONE specialist even considered there to be a possible CAUSE for the added weight. As he diagnosed and defended later .. he had decided on first SEEING me, without any tests or scans ... that my PROBLEM was Obesity. From a later test which I ran with a Skinfold Caliper, and Body Fat CHART for Men, and, BMI Calculator (which I purchased personally) .. my belly body fat measured BELOW a healthy level for a person of my height. As became routine, NO medical personnel were interested in this MEDICAL Test RESULT .. including the Specialist.
At "events" separated by years, months, or weeks .. in NO specific or repeated pattern .. another 5 to 7 pounds of weight, and corresponding MASS increase .. were ADDED within a 24 HOUR period. Again, there had been no remarkable alteration in lifestyle or diet. By 2023-02-15, my weight had skipped up to 210 pounds ... 55 POUNDS higher than healthy, with a LOW BMI setting and LESS abdominal FAT than was healthy. SOMETHING was pushing my weight and mass totals up. A Pituitary Tumor was a likely candidate. Asking my Family Physician for a brain scan in mid-2022 that point, I was informed that I could not have any MORE scans because earlier physicians had requested and run so many (IRRELEVANT) scans that I was over the allowable RADIATION limit. Still, the MEDICAL industry had NO ANSWERS and was largely even resistant to finding any. As one might suspect, INCREASES in weight and mass WILL lead to requirements for INCREASES (eventually) in clothing sizes. As of 2023-02, I have had to completely change my underwear briefs and T-shirts, in SIZE, twice ... being left with clothing that is too TIGHT to safely wear for longer than an hour or two. Coats and jackets, which were oversize when I bought them, are now TIGHT. ALL of my shirts, except two which once were oversized, have had to be discarded. Most trousers have had to be archived, YEARS ago .. to be replaced with the largest size trousers I could find locally .. and they are now TIGHT for the total length of leg and width of waist.
This REALITY, together with a limited INCOME and budget .. leaves me to live like a nudist in my (thankfully) second floor apartment located on a seldom traveled street. That also means using a supplemental heater and air conditioner to maintain my apartment at an extended energy setting .. which would NOT be required if I could wear CLOTHING without having them strangle my circulation. That enforces a minimum of socializing or traveling outside of the apartment, and, inviting NO ONE inside. Yes, YOU might be living like this someday, or, you could just be continuously miserable, frustrated, angry, itchy, in pain ... and those who do meet you will hope and plan for no repeats. THIS is the LIFE which Canadian Provincial politicians and Health Services bureaucrats, deceived and ignorant doctors, and persons just participating for a paycheck .. want YOU to live.

The New Life: Writing, patterns of Letters. EL Index
My university years stretched from 1977 to 1981.
They came after I had been employed and building a career for 10 years.
The career seemed to collapse so the best strategy, for me, was to retrain into another career.
During mid-1976 I took a YMCA Career Planning course. Numerous tests determined a wide host of possible abilities and skills and compared them to those highlighted amongst successful professionals. Many participants were directed towards 1 or 2 specialties. I had FIVE: Police Detective, Sociologist, Psychologist, Surgeon, and Forestry. I had finished High School with marks to poor to enter university a decade earlier, in 1965. I would have to show capability by completing Applied Arts & Technology courses with high marks. I did that at night school over the next year while researching the highlighted professions. Some professions had become super popular so there were 10 applicants for every opening in Forestry. Environmental Sciences courses and degrees would not appear at the university level until after I graduated from university.
Institutional dynamics pushed me away from several possibilities.
Police Detectives, in Canada, depended upon a foundation of 10 years or more as a beat cop (patrol policeman).
This was an entirely different skill set from that of a detective INVESTIGATING crimes vs arresting criminals.
I knew that, at that time, I would not survive as a patrolman. Looking into Surgery, and questioning both those who tested, hired, and were surgeons I found a disappointing reality which exists to this day (2023). I was already over the age of 25, having worked in a profession for 10 years. There was a rationalization in the government employed medical sector that becoming a Surgeon would require 7 years of government support training. Starting after age 25 left fewer likely years of active and skilled work before retirement .. than someone younger than age 25. Secondly, I was neither a son or brother of a current medical doctor or surgeon .. so that was also rationalized as a disadvantage. Sons of surgeons or physicians were presumed to have inherited or been imprinted with some magical sense that fit them for the profession. Police Detective and Surgeon were out, even though I tested as HIGHLY likely to succeed in either position.
That essentially left a university graduation requirement as preparation for either a Psychologist or Sociologist.
I entered university and graduated with a combined honors in Psychology and Sociology. I increasingly gravitated towards Sociology as the NEGATIVES of Psychology became ever more clear or impressed upon me. Why would I go into a field with a patient treatment FAILURE rate of 40%? I had come from a Customer Engineer position solving technical and human problems with a success of over 90%. It also was not a help that an early Psychology course professor gave me a B- grade on a paper I had written because, as he judged it, I had written a thesis and that was unacceptable as a course paper. Through ALL of the courses I worked through in my 4 years, I proved to be both Inspired, Passionate, and Persistent in writing original and lengthy comprehensive papers which impressed most of my professors and often returned grades of A, or even A+. I found that I loved doing research, finding solutions to problems, and criticizing failing policies and assumptions. My focus centered around finding PATTERNS and then developing an understanding of them.
After university graduation I found job opening in Sociology to be disappearing in a government layoff period of downsizing to cope with a failing economy. Sales were the next best opening. I failed at consumer sales and exceeded at commercial sales .. but I would never make a truly admired income in commercial sales according to the employment dynamics present. Significant health problems opened the door to a necessary use of Innovation and Research, and, recovering my health and assisting others provided a Passion. I founded Balancing Therapy and assisted myself and others RECOVER from repeating self-sabotaging PATTERNS of Attitude and Behavior. This also introduced me to accessing, utilizing, and perfecting my knowledge of Spiritual Guidance and the many associated particulars that were psychological, sociological, spiritual, and political in substance. WRITING had become a significant part of my lifestyle since the beginning of university. I seemed to go through cycles of acquiring SEVERE health problems, researching to understand them, finding solutions, recovering, helping others. That PATTERN fit me for dealing with this more recent 2016 onwards series of and collection of Significant health problems.
Through this period of investigation into MEDICAL matters, I found a way to RECOVER from some medical problems, some of which the medical industry had failed at for CENTURIES. It took awhile for me to FIND well hidden and denied information which enabled me to DIAGNOSE my major problems by finding the SYMPTOM which only applied to that particular health difficulty. Then, it became a challenge to find KNOWN recovery options. The shock was that the recovery options existed in OTHER countries, sometimes for 20 years .. and would remain unaccessible to me by COST. Next best was to find how to COPE with the symptoms of each, and, most importantly, how to PREVENT them from growing and expanding in severity .. how to avoid becoming a Fatality. I developed many PROFILES and MONOGRAPHS of supplements, illnesses, therapies, sources, and PATTERNS .. which I posted on a website to make them available to assist others. In addition to a lot of Research, greatly focused and directed by Spiritual Guidance, there would be a lot of coding and writing. For 20 years I had written much, with little editing required, and almost never a need to use a spell checker. Sometimes, my brain patterns would select sequential letters in a word according to which were next closest to the last letter on the keyboard. This was seldom, yet was an established Pattern.
I suddenly, in April 2022, began to LOSE letters in the usually speedy typing that I did.
At first it was a single letter, missed from somewhere in a well known word which I had NEVER previously misspelled. It seemed to happen about once in every 250 characters and was independent of the word or phrase. I eventually traced this LOSS to Prion destruction of nerve pathways as the only explanation extending from a wide range of MEDICAL research.
I became aware that mental activity PAUSED prion spread so I did not reject my continually Spiritually Guided challenging mental work that kept me busy through those times of available consciousness and energy. However, in mid-February 2023, I decided to attempt longer sleep periods by setting my Oxygen Concentrator to run continuous while I was sleeping, rather than for a set time of 2 hours. After only TWO such extended session, a new prion defined neural destruction was noticed. NOW, in my typing, including this section, I would lose 2 letters at a time from words in about every 250 characters or less. As previously with 1 letter losses, the WORD or phrase was of no consequence. the SAME word typed further on would be correct. Some other word would receive the loss. So, I went back to the sleep periods of 2 HOURS or less .. to again PAUSE the prion progressions, and, I must now use a spell checker for EVERYTHING written.

Dead Zone, END of OPTIONS. LL Index
These particular symptoms are regarded here as End-of-Life indicators.
That is, once present, there is no known way to pause or interrupt or stop them. They harken to a trend of increasing severity of health weakness until a fatal conclusion is reached. The only questions remaining are "How long will it take to reach death?" and "How will other present health challenges contribute to this timeline?"
As some have progressed beyond a Recoverable point, and as others have entered a likely stage of continual expansion ... beneficial changes in the reduced presence and toxicity of other factors no longer bears any influence to the outcome. Health Services institutions, medical professional training policies, and political restrictions on financing and services .. have become SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for the outcome and LOSSES.
My own Efforts, in partnership with my God, and those individuals who could help and Chose to help ... have both provided MORE time for those Responsible to Participate Professionally and Beneficially. Their Denial, Refusal, and Prideful ignorance have won out here and in the THOUSANDS of other LOSSES of Health to Canadian citizens.
Even if I purchased one or more lottery tickets at this point which singly or cumulatively graced me with millions of dollars of resources .. there are NO efforts or options remaining which could REMOVE the pathogens which can be fatal and now will be. Even if I were to receive all of the surgeries which could HAVE BEEN remedial, it is unlikely that ANYONE would survive the extensiveness required, nor, that any amount of tissue removal would be enough or safe.

Dead Zone, A Way Forward. LL Index
Until one has crossed one or more thresholds past which NO form of medical or other intervention is safely possible in removing or correcting a MEDICAL difficulty .. there are possibilities for RECOVERY. I will note some of these, that were there, for me, below. By the beginning of November, 2022, I had passed 4 of such thresholds. Even if I had acquired access to unlimited funds any time after that, the spread, intensification, and complications involved with each of these thresholds would only have hastened Death.

Echinococcus multilocularis. - LL12 Index
After October 2022, new symptoms of health challenge appeared which suggested strongly connection to a released and circulating presence of Echinococcus multilocularis. Almost daily, I would have sensations as if an insect, worm, or water trickle were moving up or down a calf, thigh, or, more rarely, across my mid back. In NONE of these instances was there any rash, visual flesh movement, flesh enlargement, or itch involved. The sensations typically lasted for only a about a minute. They never appeared in a repetitive nature, more than once sequentially in the same location. This suggested that some physical entity was moving through the associated bloodstream or lymphatic pathway. Most times, the movement proceeded DOWNWARDS, although there were some instances of UPWARD movement.
Without invasive and intensive physical investigations, or, specific and unusual analyses of quantities of blood .. there could be little confirmed. Blood clots often result in a near area numbness, pain, tissue enlargement, NONE of these associated symptoms were present. The indicated likely REALITY was that Echinococcus multilocularis individuals or groups had matured from the liver tumor and were circulating through the body. these would opportunely attach to vessel walls, or more often the REALITY, emigrate from the vessels to attach, internally or externally, to organs and other tissues and begin to invade, grow, and build internal masses subject to causing obstruction of physical processes. These continuing specialized symptoms, unconnected to any specific movement, activity, thought pattern, or, emotion ... allied with the possibility of Echinococcus multilocularis invasiveness. The front of my neck and upper chest skin periodically became VERY Itchy. There was no rash nor swelling present. The skin across my Upper Back increasingly became populated with small, dry, pimple-like eruptions .. that might originate with the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis below the surface.l
Once these ACTIVITIES begin, any Safe and Direct act of surgical removal becomes increasingly risky and potentially fatal.

Pulmonary Vessel Tissue Obstruction. - LL12 Index
From the beginning of November, 2022, my breathing became increasingly sabotaged by scabs forming at the top of my LEFT (usually) nostril while sleeping, and my being awakened by oxygen deficiency and approaching sinus blockage to go to the washroom and clear this with water irrigation over the sink. This happened FREQUENTLY while I was taking my short (1 to 2 hour) Coma Naps.
In addition, I was CONSTANTLY in a state of near suffocation, wheezing, and physical WEAKNESS if I were to make efforts to move, breathe, and exercise in any normally assumed to be NATURAL and Healthy lifestyle. Learned early in life as an anti-panic AUTOMATIC response, my Reptilian Structure replaced the more normal PANIC reactions of hyperventilation, muscle tension, hyper-sensitivity, and convulsive acting out with -- CALM, SLOW breathing, muscle readiness, balanced awareness and sensitivity, and consciously selective movements. These modifications secured me from hyperventilating to dizziness, becoming Desperate and Reckless in movements, losing Focus and, distortion of my Access to Spiritual Guidance. Many times, increasingly, especially before, during and after Intestinal clearance Protocols, I hovered on a threshold of Weakness and Blanking Out. With FOCUS and CALM and with the bridging of Spiritual Guidance, I was ALWAYS able to continue the health assisting activities necessary and remain conscious. Most other people do NOT have these skills and training and would not have survived.

Prions, metal binding proteins. - LL12 Index
By the beginning of January, 2023, I suddenly began to experience communication limitations, and, writing abnormalities.
As expressed elsewhere, SPEAKING with someone else by phone or in person, became limited to durations of about 10 minutes.
After that period of time, I would begin to lose the ability to find and use common words, my consciousness would seem to blank out momentarily, and my ability to focus would falter. Interrupting the communication for 30 to 45 minutes would place me back at the beginning of my Alert and Conversational-Thinking skills for another period of 10 minutes of Clarity.
Remaining intellectually active with clarity, independent of conversations, as in researching, coding, and writing ... were NEVER influenced in the Brain Disconnection evidenced with verbal communication. What did appear, almost at the same time as the above Conversation Limitation ... was a CONSISTENT oddity in my typing or words. Previously, for many DECADES, I had seldom found it necessary to use a spell-checker or to take time to review and edit documents for spelling mistakes. Now, a non spelling error type of transcribing arose. In almost every sentence, there would be one or more words in which a CHARACTER had been missed. It could be ANY character, at any Position in the word, and would seldom appear to be any particular character in repetition. NOW, it became necessary for me to visually Edit as I typed, and, run a spell-checker on any new entries. The variability of these symptoms together with their particular application discourages a consideration of a blood clot. damage. They both, are indicative or Prion damage ... for which there is no known remedy. Once such appear, it is a historical trend that more will develop. You either catch Prions with Prevention, or, you are Lost!

Consciousness. - LL12 Index
From MY perspective, consciousness with a clarity of awareness, energy to convert motivation into activity, access to memory and recall, and a neural ability to communicate and research .. are Relevant here. I have had days in which I could be ACTIVE continuously in this world for as long as 16 hours .. with NO breaks for rest, food, or distractions. Beginning in 2016, after the introduction of the earlier forms of my present MEDICAL problems, this Capacity began to diminish. Depending upon how MANY health challenges I had and was coping with, and, depending upon how DEMANDING those challenges were singly or together, for the day or the hour ... my Consciousness DURATION for the day could change.
Beginning in November, 2022, this Duration window declined to as low as an HOUR on some days, or to as much as 3 HOURS, accumulated on other days. There was never any indication of How Much would be available for any day or hour. The Quantity for any day could only be known at the END of the day. Planning ANYTHING was at best an interim desire with the acceptance that it could, and likely would, change at any minute. With such a SMALL and ERRATIC variability, dependent upon the interference of multiple SIGNIFICANT Medical challenges --- there is no REALISTIC option of a Recovery to a more productive and enjoyable rewarding DURATION of Consciousness. One's DURATIONS of Coma-Sleep and Weakness-Fatigue ... if expanded too large .. will leave no time left for more Constructive Consciousness.

Surgery for Echinococcus multilocularis. - LL12 Index
LINK: Monograph of EM with Cassidy Armstrong REALITY.
https://www.thanks2god.info/Monographs/b-Echinococcus%20multilocularis.htm#06
This would have been viable BEFORE the parasite larvae began to mature, leave the tumor in my liver, and begin to circulate and attach throughout the body by way of my blood highway. With them setting up "residences" throughout my body, no form of surgery would either be SAFE enough, Extensive enough, or Familiar enough for any one or multiple surgeons to effect. With multiple "infection" locations evident in both lungs, my calves and thighs, my neck, and possibly elsewhere through a growing expansiveness and density ... there would be few surgeons GLOBALLY with the experience, expertise, and facilities to effect a clearance of both the liver tumor and all these satellite locations. Even attempting to do so would be like doing an EXTENSIVE live autopsy in which MOST sections of the body were opened and susceptible to bleeding, infection, trauma. Too Late for me.
If surgery to remove the liver tumor and a FEW attachment locations (likely in the lungs, diaphragm, other abdominal organs) was effected BEFORE the Great Spread .. Recovery might be possible, IF the rest of the body was healthy enough to heal and Rebuild the body ... a situation mirrored in the experience of the Alberta patient, Cassidy Armstrong, from 2020. Her experience was that the REALITY was only discovered when an exploratory surgery was being conducted at an Edmonton (provincial capital) hospital with NO diagnosis that was Relevant. Even though Alberta Health posted a monograph on its website to alert Alberta physicians and specialists to this possibility, I NEVER found an Alberta doctor willing to READ it, or, to have ANY interest in this REAL and increasingly present MEDICAL problem. But, you might.

As I suggested, you may require Ca $160,000, more or less, to effect this into REALITY. If your health is challenged by other offending factors, this surgery may be best to be done in an order that respects their influence, or, it may be regarded as too likely to be fatal due to the multiple MEDICAL problems.

There will be times and circumstances when it will be best to change the TIMING of presenting, continuing, delaying, or closing efforts and expenses concerned with this Class Action Suit. Addictively, obsessively, or compulsively pushing forward with anything is a WEAKNESS as it CLOSES the mind and one's awareness to changes in RELEVANCY and dissociates from the REVERENCE and FOCUS required to ASK for and RECEIVE accurate Spiritual Guidance. It is also abusive to expect, demand, or assume that ANYONE will continue with efforts and expenses on the command of an Originator who is likely no longer present and capable of being aware of developing and disappearing options.

Disingenuous Coroner. - ee Index
A Medical Examiner may be offered to conduct the autopsy, or, a selection of available professionals may be stipulated, or, you or the legal firm may independently find an acceptable Coroner - Medical Examiner. It is too frequently common in modern times for persons to speak of their experience, expertise, awareness, professionalism, morality, and enthusiasm ... and lack the evidence of some or all of these, or, drift into inertia and routine once they are in the job. An awareness that this dynamic CAN happen will prepare one to ask a few sensitive and difficult questions during the intake interview as well as the confidence to dismiss anyone at any time who falls into this dynamic. A degree of direct, or near direct, observant feedback as to what is being done in this regard is preferable.
The body of a deceased will remain viable much longer if the blood is drained ASAP after death. Blood samples are best taken and preserved to be examined and their findings included in the autopsy report. An autopsy is unusually interrupted and paused, but can be. An Autopsy can be repeated if the initial investigation is considered deficient or fraudulent. Unusual, but possible. There is a TIME restraint often placed on the holding of a body. If this cannot be met, it may be best to freeze and store the body until it can be adequately examined.
-
Absent Legal Representation. - ee Index
If the designated POSSIBLE legal representatives decline to accept the Class Action Suit, or, are significantly delayed in their activity schedule before they can begin with it ... they may be able to suggest another prospective legal firm or lawyer, or, one may be found, or, the suit may have to be delayed ... and the advertisements published AFTER legal representation is acquired.
-
Coercive Medical Institutions. - ee Index
Hospital administrators, physicians, specialists, associations, Health Ministries, provincial politicians, municipal representatives, TV reporters, and newspaper journalists can each approach you and express concerns, interests, intentions, desires, and a willingness to bait you into REACTIVELY expressing something, or, of allowing them to dictate to you what they want to spread for drama, misinterpretation, or aggressiveness. Hold your BOUNDARIES. State, often if necessary, that you will provide a comment at a particular time and in a particular location. Tell them that anything different has not come from you and the issue does not merit hearsay and slander.
-
Monopolized Media (TV/Radio) - ee Index
Most of the media has proven, by its actions, that it is monopolized in what it can broadcast and publish and in the views that are expressed. If this were NOT the REALITY they would not all mirror the phrases and comments of each other about EVERY issue. Typically, there are TWO Extremes of view and opinion which are expressed to both minimize, direct, and interpret what the subject of an interview or snatch comment was. Prepare yourself to make SHORT comments which direct those of serious interest to read and report on the Class Action Suit, and/or, on the parts of this REPORT which are designated as AVAILABLE for the PUBLIC. Do not be surprised if some or all of the mass media simply disregard information about this suit, or seek to exploit it by exaggerating details and reviews about it.
-
Manipulated Social Media. - ee Index
As ALL social media and most websites are now manipulated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs to stimulate readers and viewers by either exposing them to attitudes, values, and comments to which they have shown a consistency of response in favor to, or, against ... such mediums have been politically and commercially allowed and encouraged to make the members of the audience ever more INTENSE, RADICALIZED, angry, enthusiastic, frustrated, anxious, violent. It is advised here that you AVOID and do not participate in such ALIEN driven communities.
-
Nurses unwilling to Testify. - ee Index
If several nurses agree to offer their testimony in support of the issues mentioned in this Class Action REPORT, it could add greater viability and witness to the outcome. Such persons may be heralded as heroes, threatened by those fearing reprisals, or avoided by those who are confused or feel jealous of them. Afford GREAT support, openly and in private, for any who make this choice, and especially, for those who maintain such a choice.
-
Whitewash. - ee Index
This happens when supposedly professional reports are either critically abbreviated or distorted, usually to avoid holding the incompetent or potentially criminal -- SAFE, and able to continue supporting unethical practices and policies at the expense of those confined to such services. This can include one or more of technicians, physicians, specialists, bureaucrats, political representatives, association executives, media contacts.
In this case, you will know if the "evidence" made available does not indicate tests to determine the presence or absence of the diseases indicated as likely in this Report, and, a conclusion of whether they were present or not, and, what an alternative finding or explanation is. The most certain form of avoidance and denial, practiced often, is to NOT test for possibilities. You will NEVER find something if you NEVER test for it. And, if policy and practices and resources do NOT support any treatment or remedy for a particular medical problem, it is often easy to deny a test for it.
A typical common practice which medical examiners - coroners are restricted by the policies and institutional restrictions placed on them is ... to determine or presume that A Specific Cause is the MAIN reason for the death, and, that any other supporting contributors to ill health are of NO benefit in knowing ... and NO benefit to confirm. This practice is irrelevant in an environment in which the MAJORITY of the population is KNOWN to harbor one, and often several, Chronic illnesses. The government and the healthcare system of associations, training hospitals, media health reporting, medical researchers, provincial health services .. cannot caution and educate their prospects to MEDICAL health dangers of which they are unaware. This dynamic ENSURES that the population will continue to both WEAKEN and become more COMPLEX in their health in the future .. thus limiting their employment quality, relationship quality .. AND, increase their requirement and demand for health supporting and enhancing services. Once beyond a certain threshold of INTENSITY, it will become almost impossible to effect ANY changes that will result in an improvement of population health.
It may be relatively easy and straightforward to determine if the MEDICAL participants in my Autopsy and its availability are proceeding from a position of Whitewashing. IF that becomes demonstrated, then it will be difficult to legally pursue a Class Action suit .. as the Evidence has been tampered with and corrupted .. yet, one can proceed in making the findings of this report available to the public through advertisements, and possibly Social Media. Such a direction could be LESS costly, and MORE Effective is Protecting the Public.
The ABOVE are listed and numbered in order of their INFLUENCE, Requirement, and, necessity.
More than ONE Influence, Activity, or Exposure may be involved in at the same time.
There may arise many situations in which delays, postponements, or procedural inertia may encourage, or mandate, pause in actions.

PLAN to always have TWO recorders at hand during any conversations with supporters, reporters, officials, or "friendly" persons. One is best to be out in the open and obvious to others in the conversations. A second is best to be held hidden, out-of-view, or oblique. I have a small recorder in my Latch-1 storage box on the shelf unit near the office doorway.
Make copies of each conversation and retain them in a safe, undisclosed location away from dangers of fire, flood, theft. You may choose to use the grey Safety Chest that is on the shelf unit in the office close to the doorway. Key is nearby.
You are making these recordings for the stated purpose of remembering correctly what both you and the other person has said in order to avoid later misinterpretations and in order to give credit where deserved. It will also help your Identity Factors to remain CALM through any conversation regardless of how other persons emotionally attack, bait, threaten, or flatter you.

Hiring one, or three assistants may be a benefit for their skills, enthusiasm, and/or, awareness.
NEVER hire two persons as they are likely to develop relationship or competitive or professional conflicts.
ALWAYS be sensitive to the possibility that assistants may volunteer or parachute in or be suggested that are actually employed by adversary entities seeking to find confidential and disruption information, or, to destroy evidence, or, to turn away by abuse or threat persons who may become very helpful.
A SINGLE influence is possible to delay, postpone, or shelve the SUIT for an undeterminable time.

Overexpansion - Skin Tightness. -- Top
Disease sourced Internal Growths: Cysts, Tumors, Fungal nests, Parasites, Scar tissue, Fibroids.
When our genome has changed by influence of Energy Blocks (seldom), or Epigenetics (frequently), we may increase or decrease in size or weight. In those situations our skin also grows larger or shrinks to provide a cover which adapts and remains comfortable. We do not CONSTANTLY feel irritated .. which would encourage us to re-balance our diet. When internal growths add to our weight and size, our skin will tighten and become both uncomfortable .. as if we are CONSTANTLY bloated. After a threshold volume was reached my skin became increasingly sensitized to the presence of any constant pressure. It was as if the normal skin sensation nerves had been pushed up closer to the surface and were responding as if the skin had been slapped or burned. Clothing became a persistent aggravation if worn for longer than 2 hours.
This form of increased skin sensitivity is a further symptom that I was NOT experiencing Obesity and that the origin was and Internal Growth ... as other symptoms suggested from mid-2016. The threshold, for me, came in late 2021 when my weight exceeded 200 pounds, about 45 pounds beyond the 165 pounds that had been constant for most of my adult life until mid-2016. I had quickly added 30 pounds of weight and significant belly expansion in August, 2016 and then suddenly added increases of almost 5 pounds in stages since. Some of the weight and girth had been added with increased bone size and flesh volume in my feet, legs, buttocks ... with less so for my head, arms, hips. The latter seemed to be justified as an extension of the movements necessary in my DAILY intestinal flush protocol and in the necessary extra strength to support the added total weight.
Before mid-2016, my clothing sizes had rarely changed, for decades.
From then until now (2024) ALL of my clothing (socks, underpants, T-shirts, trousers, dress and casual shirts, hats, shoes, jackets, coats) have become tighter. Most have had to be replaced, or would now be best to be replaced. I have ONE dress shirt remaining .. which was earlier my most oversized one, and a pair of mittens and socks that can be worn. All other garments have been replaced with larger sizes at least twice and are due again.
This over-the-threshold size mismatch to clothing means that to be comfortable and avoid CONSTANT Anxiety, Irritation, and Itchiness I must remain NAKED in my second level apartment. Lack of an ability to walk more than a half block together with almost constant tiredness-weakness makes staying in my apartment ALONE to be the Best policy since late 2021. I had hoped to rekindle my socializing when I moved to my latest residence in mid-2020. Several physical problems affecting my back and legs and other ailments initially required my focus on health Recovery. Once I was able to walk again and free myself from some other ailments there was a relatively quick downturn to restricted walking and irritated skin ... following on from additional bulk and weight gains in the interim. Fortunately, I had long since released my Energy Blocks and was not ADDICTED to socializing as most other humans are. I also continued to be Spiritually Guided to research and compose more articles and profiles for my own benefit as well as for the potential benefit of the human species.
I, with the Benefit of and Respect for Spiritual Guidance, have moderated my degree of Fat Accumulation.
It is often easy and reactive for anyone experiencing ANY one of the package of Medical problems and symptoms I have to distract themselves with other forms of Status Quo Failures. Overeating is a common one which does ADD additional weight, girth, and fat. This sacrifices Immunity and diminishing health from these CHOSEN options bring death earlier. It also enables any Physician, Medical Specialist or Medical Examiner (Coroner) to Look-See-Assume that the death has resulted from Obesity. The Institutional mandate often present to AVOID all Autopsies and to key any that are done to SINGULAR, dramatic, and COMMON results ensures that MULTIPLE causes are whitewashed. The society, its politicians, researchers, and doctors NEVER need to be concerned or participative about what they don't know.
As I have crossed over the thresholds past which regardless of finances and access to previously recoverable surgeries are no longer a Benefit ... socializing beyond short phone calls and occasional e-mails and short exchanges in stores .. is GONE. That also means that my potential for any health improvement is largely absent and my impending death can only approach with a steady progress ... thanks to irrelevant, incompetent, and destructive health services that IMPOSE a monopoly excluding other sources of services.

STATUS QUO Failures.
Status Quo: Eye Exercises.
SQ Index
Vision improvement through co-ordination of eyes to prevent blindness.
In 1952 I experienced a near point-blank explosion from beneath a mound of red hot coals lightly covered with ash. As a young boy, I had returned home from school and was stirring the coals of a dying bonfire. Stooped over the fire, one or more, unknown to me, old blasting caps exploded. I was thrown up and back hard against a cherry tree that may have been 10 feet away. Loose gravel on the laneway, at least 40 feet away, was lifted and rattled across the drive. I was taken to the local hospital, 10 miles away, where surgeons extracted bits of coals and ash from my eyes. With bandaged eyes, I remained in a large hospital ward, with many injured men still recovering from war injuries. I was blind and afraid for at least 2 weeks.
After returning home and possibly in 1953 or 1954, an oculist provided my father and me with the plans to build an eye exercise device. It would enable me to force my eyes to work together. The vision in my Left eye was much deteriorated by burn scars. Without a mandate it would be normal for the Right eye to take over ALL the vision and the Left eye would deteriorate into full blindness. As a child I was not well informed of either the dynamic or the possible benefit from the exercises. Perhaps several years later we obtained a much small, portable, foldable unit which I kept and used until a future residence move required a drastic downsizing and it was lost.
From decade to decade I required eyeglass replacements.
One optometrist remarked that my then present prescription was reversed to what he thought it should be and changed the eyeglass particulars. It would only be sometime later, perhaps another decade, that I would become aware of what had happened. He had REMOVED the prescription dynamic which forced the eyes to work together. And, there was no longer any record of the original prescription. I also no longer had the original large exercise board nor the portable unit. The oculist had long previously retired and died.
The Internet had now begun and I used it to find optometry contacts through Canada and the USA.
None, even associations, had NEVER heard of the devices I mentioned --- or even the concept of adjusting an eyeglass prescription to enhance the co-ordination of eyes where one had been damaged more then the other. It seemed that persons who had found themselves in such a reality were now simply allowed to go blind in one eye and perhaps wear an eyepatch. This is an example of how the Status Quo can actually DIMINISH our awareness and the Recovery Options for a Medical problem. With Time, we can become MORE Primitive as we lose Constructive procedures .. perhaps because they are not more technologically dependent and do not Cost more.
With the other Lifestyle Choices I had made, I actually found that my eyesight had continued to IMPROVE between ages 40 and 70 even though I was largely employed in tasks that required detailed work and reading. Most Americans, in reported trends, have their eyesight deteriorate with age.
Status Quo: Lifestyle Foods.
SQ Index
Sanctioned aggressive promotion of foods irrelevant to the lifestyle of most people.
Multi-grain breads, pizza, donuts, submarines, potato chips, ice cream, hamburgers,
An increasingly urbanized and employed population requires both IMPORTED foods (from the countryside and others nations/climates) which must be transported (energy demand), stored and preserved (energy demand), and sold (packaging, advertising, promotion, commissions). Plants (Crops) ideally and naturally grow in dispersed communities in which they receive optimum fertilization, sunlight access, and, protection from viral and other parasitic epidemics and dramatic weather events. But this format is labor intensive, yield restrictive, complicated, and, time consuming. The transition to industrialized food production (agriculture) as long ago as 5000 B.C. made food production receptive to the use of mechanized and animal driven planting and harvesting. It also enabled yield to be increased dramatically per space used, simplified these activities, reduced the time required for these activities per Quantity output .. and thus enabled EXCESS production beyond subsistence, offered a Profit/Riches through Trade, and, demanded Protection from Theft .. which led to governments, military-policing, and taxation.
DESPERATION for monopolization (Greed), increasing yields, intensification of automation (both animal driven and machine driven) and larger markets would result in the cultivation of wider and more distant markets, financing for the purchase of increasing technological Power, the use of powerful chemicals (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides), the monocropping and species specialization and reduction in varieties, Genetic modification and DECREASED climate adaptability, and, greater transportation and storage times. ALL of these factors contributed to DECREASING Nutritional value, Increased chemical contamination, and, Decreased Cost per Quantity. More and more of the population became Dependent upon foods they had NOT planted, grown, harvested, stored, prepared, or seasoned. Decreasing nutritional Value increased the Calorie content per Quantity of food to support Overeating and anti-health overweight. Other factors also encouraged weight gain, Reduced exercise, Increased cardiovascular diseases, Increased cancer rates, and Increasing degrees of chronic diseases.
During the 1950s an early 1960s I grew up on a mixed (dairy, beef, grains, chicken) farm which also had pigs and horses in my earliest years. We also had a large vegetable garden and a small orchard of fruit trees. Eventually, we received weekly bread delivery and were self-sufficient in most food. Candies and foreign foods like oranges were Christmas stocking treats. With 200 acres, my parents strove for a family including 2 boys to replace the hired labor which my father found undependable and subject to conflict communication. Of three children I was the only boy. As time advanced, father got rid of the horses as soon as a tractor would replace their behavioral difficulties in following orders .. by the mid-1950s.
After that, mechanized farm machinery began to be added including threshers, balers, and many pull-behind implements. The development of communication and social skills was minimized to public school attendance and Sunday church services. Electricity, along with several AM radio reception had come to the house in the 1940s. Minimal 2-station several hours per day television broadcasts arrived after the mid-1950s. Movies were only seen in town movie houses .. perhaps several times yearly. With nearby farms of similar size to ours and with daily work loads constant, meeting with neighbors was rare and brief. Even the option of microcomputers, the Internet, and social media were many decades away.
LIFE was a daily 7-days-a-week, 12 or more hours per day selection of LABOR tasks interspersed with schooling.
We had 3 meals per day with sparse stops for work breaks and a snack and oatmeal drink. By 1970, a majority of the population were found in urban residences with most parents employed in offices, factories, and stores. Kitchen appliances were growing in number and utility but also packaged cooked foods, mixes, and raw-to-be-cooked foods were expanding in variety and number. Increasingly, television and print advertising was becoming both more numerous and intense in their visibility and promotion. Almost never were political and/or legal restraints and cautions placed on any food or cooking style. Reflecting commercial USA trends, food fads became food norms whose lack of caution and presentation of relevancy were absent. Government "nutrition" programs intended to enhance health levels in the population resulted in specialized diets supposedly based upon scientific results which proved after decades to be based more on presumption, expectation, commerce, and theory ...and actually DETRIMENTAL to the health of most people.
Immigrants tended to be DESPERATE for income and financial success having left their birth nations to escape persistent unemployment, competitive tribalism by genetics, conflicts between religious congregations and sporting team followers, and the financial losses experienced from civil wars and gang theft and violence from impoverished and/or jealous memberships. Overpopulation throughout Europe, China, Africa, and India had resulted in the poor, criminals, uneducated, abandoned, and jeopardized fleeing/rejected to North America and Australia. Some brought their cultural food habits with them. FEW took their relocation to rural areas. Work was often low in pay, long in hours, exposed to polluted drinking water, inadequate laundry facilities, minimal education and medical services. The PROMISE was that with MONEY one could buy anything that was lacking: food, housing, a job, clothing, a car, respect, education, medical care, sex, acceptance and privilege (membership), happiness (satisfaction and distraction through the excessive use of alcohol, cigarettes, narcotics, mass media access -- movies & television viewing, popularity, power). A Fast Track to MONEY was a highly profitable business built on Cheap and Desperate labor, low cost resources, and an Impatient, Depressed, and lazy customer who often lacked access to the resources they needed.
FAST FOODS become a way for overworked individuals on schedules out-of-harmony with other family members, increasingly distracted by the mass media of television, radio, music, books, newspapers, telephone, Internet, social media, depressed and tired from the routines of their work, and unskilled in food preparation to fix a meal quickly and avoid or minimize dish and pot cleanups. Washing, peeling, cutting, cooking, seasoning, and serving raw foods can be time consuming, and, if one is not alert and patient accidents can happen including, scrapes and cuts, spills and cleanups. And for younger persons in particular, the attraction of foods with sugar, salt, and oils added influences the taste buds almost like a narcotic. A side benefit is the absence of a loss of time required to go to the grocery store when it is open, select the produce, pay for it and bring it home and store it.
Most of those ordering and eating fast foods are NOT involved in the calorie required work of labor.
Sitting at a desk or stool or standing in an assembly line or at a sales counter provides little exercise and does not assist in digestion, assimilation, or excretion. Also, known now for decades, plant food that are FRESH (prepared and eaten within 8 hours have optimum nutrition and availability of all original ingredients. After that time, and even earlier, the nutritional vale of the foodstuff begins to diminish at an ever increasing speed. Beginning in the 1990s, Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) would be introduced to lessen yield losses in the fields, extend preservation time, and widen the distance of markets. They also would lose nutritional value even BEFORE they were harvested. This resulted in those eating Fast Foods to NOT feel satisfied as early as when they were eating FRESH foods. So, they ate longer and more ... resulting in greater calorie intake for the bulk of food ingested. Soon, the fast food eater is taking in many more calories than they are using. Fat accumulation and obesity is a predictable result.
The cultural origin of many Fast Foods was also highly different than those of the Fast Food user.
Pizza, and later Submarines, originated in rural farming cultures where the worker was exerting energy in the form of labor for 3 or 4 hours at a time. They then frequently walked back to the farmhouse to prepare, or have prepared, usually home-made and home grown and prepared vegetables, salami styled meats, cheeses, and spices spread and heated on a pancake or put into a baked bun. The Fast Fooder was only receiving prepared and packaged foods assembled and prepared out-of-the-home, and then further delayed in its transportation to him or her. Frequently NOT involved in a labor occupation and frequently NOT distant from meal sources and locations, the original users of these food combinations had a keen balance between calories and nutrition in to address the calorie expenditure of their work.
And these dynamics usually applied to most other Fast Foods.
And the often academically trained politicians and marketers dissociated from both the labor REALITIES and the nutritional dynamics NEVER considered the HEALTH outcomes their citizens and customers were inviting. Epidemics of circulatory diseases, weakened immune chronic disorders, diabetes, premature aging, obesity, and neurological losses would grow and persist with the popularity of and dependency on Fast Foods. And the band would play on .. for hundreds of millions of people at the service of those for whom MONEY was the Desperate and Lusted after sociopathic motivation.
Status Quo: Birth Control Pills.
SQ Index
Loss of Libido, increases in miscommunication, loss of trust and sharing in relationships, increasing emotional desperation.
I married my first wife in 1967 with an intent, desire, and expectation that we would be together in passionate love for the rest of our lives. We were young and would be urban dwellers working with a goal of saving some earnings to enable a downpayment on a private house to take the place of a rental. Our jobs would always require the use of transportation, either in the form of Public Transit ($$) and/or a car ($$). At the time, population concerns were being expressed worldwide with Significant political-social programs in India and China for the minimization of family sizes. Delayed bearing of children PROMISED to enable the opportunity for a poor husband and wife to build their skills, experience, income and savings to better afford home freedoms and material benefits for all family members. Social participation and sports participation always required additional clothing ($$), additional tools or activity items ($$), and additional committed time (-$$). Often a temporary CHOICE between children and social participation was REAL. Few persons are at ease excluding themselves from friends and community and likely being treated as and feeling excluded or rejected.
Birth Control Pills entered the North American market in the 1950s.
At first, many women experienced Significant side effects including added hair growth on their face and other skin areas, abdominal pains,
mood swings, and erratic bleeding. These were largely eliminated over the first 10 years so that by the mid-1960s there was an increasing cultural acceptance, especially amongst the younger persons, who were experiencing a relaxation of the harsh and strict pseudo morality of ritualistic sex for the purpose of pregnancy, and, early children introduction into a marriage for the verification of one's Gender IDENTITY ... which was more the social reality of their parents. With all of these highly influential and demanding and promising realities, the use of Birth Control Pills gradually, yet persistently, grew into an epidemic. Medically, following WWII, taking a PILL to alleviate physical symptoms of dis-ease or to enhance recovery from an illness became a cultural NORM -- the Accepted strategy followed by doctors, promoted by advertising, and sanctioned by government regulators. Take a Pill, and get back to Work, continue participating in your social life, take care of your family.
My wife began taking Birth Control Pills before we married.
There was only ONE instruction and Caution: Take a pill EVERY day according to a dispenser which indicated WHEN to take the medication to sustain the normal biological menstrual period. As our marriage continued, the libido of my wife ever so subtly DIMINISHED. Eventually, she no longer had any interest in sex or intimacy. As many men of the time and some women reacted, we searched for and experimented with differing romantic formats, sexual positions, and some individuals and couples extended this experimentation to the use of hypnotic and narcotic drugs as well as to different forms of temporary relationships with others. The Trust, Stability, and Enjoyment of INTIMACY was often fractured for most participants with ample opportunities for jealousy, abuse, rejection, miscommunication, and the spread of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) leading to divorces, criminal actions, and child traumatization by the absence of and emotional frailty of their parents. The underling REAL Cause-Symptom was not admitted to the public until much later
After a marriage of 12 years in which each year later FELT as an increasing emotional and physical rejection by my spouse, I learned how to file the legal paperwork to obtain, what had been unthinkable for a decade, a Divorce. There was no other intimate participant in my life or in hers .. although in my felt sexual Rejection and Sexual need there were women clients and acquaintances which had flirted with me .. to my fear and confusion. I simply did NOT want to be reminded on a DAILY basis that my wife no longer seemed to Love me. The dynamic that had grown also, in a less dramatic and personal way confused her also .. as she persisted in proclaiming her continued love for me. I was fully committed to my work and its service to a variety of customers to solve their technical problems with minicomputers while often sharing with me an emotional trauma they were doing poorly in coping with. To be more socially skilled and become more sympathetically aware, I intensely studied psychology and tribal-ethnic sociology. NONE of these experiences or study assisted me in coping with a near trauma developing broken intimate relationship.
About 10 years AFTER my divorce, on my progression to university in the late 1970s and early 1980s with hopes of a career change to a more stable employment than my after marriage career had been, the pharmaceutical companies making the birth control pills, the family physicians prescribing the pills, the biomedical scientists, and the advertisers promoting them .. suddenly released the Truth which had been known for many years. Taking Birth Control Pills for longer than THREE years was known to Permanently DECREASE the Libido (sexual desire) of a woman. Following the 3-year cutoff, one was to choose some other form of delayed pregnancy. Especially across the USA, throughout Canada, Australia, and Europe .. tens of millions of families had mirrored the experiences, confusions, and reactions which I and my wife had. Most of those had ended in infidelity and divorce with others continuing in relationship physical and emotional abuses. Throughout, there was nil response or concern from the political representatives that were responsible for PROTECTING us. The social fabric had been shredded, physical and mental illnesses had become near epidemic, religious expression had faltered between extremism and abandonment, and a Regression from adult maturity to teenage egotism and individuality had sacrificed a potential for the development of greater human harmony.
What had become a Status Quo BELIEF and PRACTICE had Promised a Stability and Confidence in financial planning, relationship harmony, employment continuity, and, empathic harmony with an increasing strength of religious-spiritual awareness and community togetherness had become a CURSE. With intimate relationships failing because of a status quo introduction of medically sanctioned biochemicals.. family relationships, religious grace, political assurances, and economic-occupational stabilities ... were FAILING. Dissention between genders, dependencies on narcotics, the expanded presence and epidemics of previously avoided chronic illnesses, and the desperation regression to tribal identifications ... would fuel unconscious and traumatically encouraged feelings of Rage and Abandonment. Fortunately for me, I had, for a variety of experiences and reasons, never felt myself to be a member of the privileged IN-group, had never fathered any children, had focused on spiritual and emotional balancing trainings, and persisted in avoiding abusive dynamics in marriage, socially, or in business.

According to the chronopharmacokinetic assumptions, drug concentration in blood changes following the circadian rhythm and, therefore, the determined drug concentrations in samples collected during the day and night may be expected to differ. ...
In the case of antiepileptic drugs, in clinical studies, circadian changes in concentration of valproic acid (VPA) in urine were proven, with the maximum value noted between 2 and 6 a.m. and the lowest value recorded in the afternoon and evening. ...
It was proven that cyclosporine concentration in the 8th hour after drug administration (identified as “C trough”) was lower in the case of drug administration at night. It was accompanied by the increase in the nighttime clearance of cyclosporin compared with the clearance during the day.

... the change in reference range led more clinicians to consider either that patients had developed biochemical subclinical hypothyroidism (raised TSH with normal range free thyroxine), which led to commencement of levothyroxine treatment, or that patients were failing to respond to an existing levothyroxine dose, which led to increased dosing. This unanticipated clinical effect of a simple change in reference range illustrates the importance of clear communication across the clinical–laboratory interface.
... busy clinicians — especially those in primary care who order a wide variety of tests — may lack knowledge of the limitations of reference ranges and might not appreciate the significance of a reference range change, if they notice it at all.

... There are many factors that can affect a patient’s result and lab values but some of the most common factors
are gender, age, race, the medicines taken, and the presence of any underlying condition(s)
In my personal opinion, Dr. Thomas Janossy would have been best to have been recognized by an Order of Canada and a Nobel Award decades ago for his research regarding the health influences of Circadian importance of timing. He developed a number of supplements and detox agents capable of reversing and minimizing the effects of a number of toxins and restoring health from a number of illnesses (Cardiovascular, Lymph, Candida, Alzheimers, ...) considered untreatable by the MEDICAL establishment to this (2024) day. He emphasized that a recognition of the importance of Circadian timing could optimize the benefit of drugs and supplements in regard to such factors as gender, age, health condition, and other realities. It is only in more recent times, since 2020, that medical science reports have recognized age and gender as elemental to Chronopharmacology (relevant dosing). Unfortunately, these findings and REALITIES remain unknown to most North American physicians and may yet to be taught in medical colleges.
The result is that THOUSANDS of avoidable deaths in Canada each year, and, tens of Thousands of avoidable deaths in the USA each year are a REALITY. Even moreso, Hundreds of Thousands of patients in Canada each year are prescribed drugs with almost no cautions of instructions outlining side effects or contraindications regarding other drugs and foods. Typically, the physicians involved prescribe even MORE drugs to counter the side effects which are assumed to be newly developed Symptoms. In my mother's experience, she ended up at age 72 with 8 prescriptions and suicidal thoughts and feelings. Reduced to ONE prescription, the destructive influences vanished and she lived another 20 years. Most patients are NOT helped or supervised in this manner.
Coping with a Significant symptom (30 pounds of added weight and bulk in a matter of days with NO change in lifestyle or diet) which multiple Canadian physicians and Health Care Services REFUSED to diagnose or treat, I was Spiritually Guided to take a wide range (over 100) and daily changing dosages of supplements between January 03, 2018 and February 01, 2020 (approximately 108 weeks, or, 756 days).
The dosages had to be both compatible with each other, and, optimum for my health. Any incompatibility would have presented significant side effects and symptoms which could, and eventually would, be fatal. A dosage of any ONE of almost 100 supplements which was deficient or excessive by as little as ONE tablet could also prove inadequate to sustaining my health as best as possible, or, endangering it to the point of emergency or fatality. On several occasions, this was tested, revealed the danger, and was quickly corrected. Thus, in as many as 75,000 dosages, the Spiritual Guidance was ALWAYS correct and optimum.
Muscle testing could have been used in place of Spiritual Guidance.
Almost ANYONE can learn one or both of these Self-Test modalities, although, it is easier to attain ACCURACY if one has reduced or eliminated their Energy Blocks. I have almost NEVER found ANY Canadian doctor who is aware of either of these (to 2024-03), or, has any interest in them. Instead, the USUAL accepted and institutionally encouraged practice is to PROJECT from symptoms as to what MIGHT be a remedial DRUG and prescribe the SINGULAR recommended dosage without any guidelines or cautions. This decades long reinforced practice reduces the REALITY of sanctioned Doctors to a performance level of pharmaceutical TECHNICIANS. For any person with a PROFESSIONAL Attitude, a Sincere CARING for other people, and an Enthusiasm to help others RECOVER ... they are Best to LEAVE Canada, and likely the USA (although professional attitudes and practices vary somewhat between individual states, though does NOT seem to be so in Canada between provinces and territories.
What these FACTS and Experiences portray is that the majority of Physicians and Specialists in Canada are either Sociopathic Technicians, will leave their profession or country eventually, or, have simply NOT reached a point of Awareness to the REALITY that they will, at Best, be either endangering the life of patients, or, sustaining them in one or more illnesses as they progress to Disability and Death.
Status Quo: Vasectomy Birth Control.
SQ Index
The "Temporary" birth control solution that becomes Permanent.
During the 1950s, vasectomy birth control was experimented with and popularized in India on hundreds of thousands of men.
By the mid-1980s the procedure had become believed to be so perfected that there was confidence that it could be done quickly and simply and be dependable. Female birth control options were much more complicated and had proven to be much more risky for immediate side effects. It was now known (1986) that Birth Control Pills had a significant side effect of Loss of Libido after as short a time as 3 years of use. Hysterectomies were permanent and major surgeries, yet, were being routinely imposed on women as possible cancer prevention. It had still NOT been discerned that condoms were almost guaranteed to break if used with petroleum based lubricating creams. This REALITY is still not (2024) widely made known to North Americans. Inserted devices for women were proving to be very individualized in whether they would create medical problems or be rejected. In Canada, and likely through parts of the USA, vasectomies were so enthusiastically politically sanctioned that in 1986 I had a vasectomy done by a junior physician who used a local anaesthetic, shaved my scrotum, performed 15 minute in-office procedure, for NO charge. I had been told the then common statement that it would be reversible with no time expiry.
I was highly motivated in my first marriage to practice birth control.
We wanted to establish our relationship, find of create stable employment, and build a basic financial foundation.
By the third year of our marriage, a close female relative of my wife had begun her family only to find that she was a carrier of a tragic disease. The disease was only transferred through the women. They were almost certain to inherit it and at least 50% of their MALE children would be born with it. As we came to be personally aware of, such an infant would be continuously acutely sick. It would essentially have no immune system. It cried all the time, was frequently back in the hospital for more antibiotics and extreme care, then back home for days or a few weeks. Nothing could be done to calm or sooth it. He was a boy, yet beyond genitalia, there were no indications to suggest gender. His life expectancy was anywhere from days to years. About 2 years of age his suffering ended with his death. He had shown NO mental advancement beyond birth. He NEVER acknowledged his parents nor anyone else. We did not want the responsibility of bringing a life into the world who would live in hell every minute of its existence. There were NO genetic tests at the time to confirm if one was a carrier, or if one's male foetus had the disease.
My second wife had become pregnant while we were using the Rhythm Method of birth control .. safe from side effects, yet, still not clear as to the personal idiosyncrasies which made the timing of infertility variable in accuracy. We elected for an abortion as the reality of a pregnancy so early in our relationship would have been traumatic for her parents and family. The abortion went horrible bad even though it was performed in a hospital and was openly acceptable in the medical system at the time. My wife immediately acquired a most painful infection which itself was poorly treated. She had not wanted to publicly begin taking Birth Control Pills. It would be another few years, in 1988 when I would hear of the then revelation that Birth Control Pills carried a side effect after 3 years of non-reversal of a Loss of Libido. I had early in adulthood learned the potential for unexpected condom breakages. So, a Free Vasectomy, considered Safe and Reversible in 1986 looked like a Saving Grace, even more positive to me because it safeguarded my intimate partner from High Risk surgery and High Likelihood significant side effects.
My second marriage quickly imploded as my then wife became openly abusive before marriage and only escalated afterwards. Having her tell my mother at the wedding reception that she then was happy because she was now a Canadian and no longer an immigrant certainly seemed to add the prospect of deceptive love to the mix of pre-marital abuse which would prove NOT to be a temporary before wedding stress response. A few more years and I entered a third marriage in 1988 with a South American immigrant to Canada whose career skills in agriculture added to her attraction and with whom I had designed a very professional job application package which did result in her being hired into improving jobs with increasing opportunities for advancement and income raises. She knew that I had a vasectomy; we knew it was reversible; after we both had settled employment we would consider a family. The peers she worked with were employed, like she, as a government agent in a meat processing plant.
Some of her peers had barely graduated secondary school and most had NO interest in Science, health, or politics.
The prospect of them researching anything was beyond their consideration. They KNEW what their on-the-job training had taught them, what their superstitions and fears alerted them to, and, their communication skills were less than tactful. Also, they were her team who worked together, spent their breaks and lunchtimes together apart from the line butchers, and gossiped together .. sometimes about each other. My wife was from a minority genetic background so she was likely feeling more susceptible to potential discrimination and more likely more secure and accepted NOT to question her peer's comments and judgements. At some point it was revealed that her husband, me, had a vasectomy and that was how we were not susceptible as most of her peers were or had been to the development of SURPRISE pregnancies. Their assessment to her was that I was neutered. They seemed to associate vasectomy with castration! Or, at the very least, vasectomy with permanent infertility. NO discussion was possible. They knew all they had to know and were too proud and secure in their ignorance to find out more.
I was not yet aware that the REALITY, denied by the Status Quo earlier, was that the vasectomy I had received was now (1988) or soon to be accepted, as Permanent. It was somewhat of a shock to our love for each other, initially, that she did not believe me, and further, that she had no desire to ask a medical doctor or look further into the reality of the available facts. Within a year, I made the effort to have my vasectomy reversed. Then in 1989, the medical services and physicians informed me that Vasectomies were no longer considered reversible. No apology or regret on their part .. just the facts.
This is an example of a scenario which happens over and over and over again in mass societies and political systems in which information is largely disseminated by ACADEMICS who have little non-institutionalized sheltered dissociated experience and construct black-and-white categorical policies for OTHERS with skills to be bound by. Vasectomies had been carried out in India for decades. There had been NO follow-up to determine IF men were having them reversed, or, if there had been any difficulties in doing so. From an Academic mechanically technical perspective, it had been ASSUMED that a procedure technically done .. could be technically undone. No studies or research had been done beforehand .. and it took DECADES before there had grown enough instances of Failures for the professions to begin raising alarms to the institutions. Then suddenly, what had been presented as Temporary .. became Permanent.
When I went to have the vasectomy reversed, the reversal of policy was like being told (by the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, regulators to ensure safety) that a new GMO food variation was cheaper and had better nutrition than the natural original; then, after you have been buying and eating it for months you are suddenly informed (from a NEWS story) NOT to eat it anymore because .. it is Poisonous!.
Now a new relationship revelation was launched, perhaps in an expression of Rage as an extension of the peer influences on my wife ... she had only married me to eventually become pregnant and have children. For me, emotionally, that said that what I had experienced as love was simply a Deception on her part to capture a biological father. And so, another divorce was my option to extract myself cleanly from what had become another abusive relationship connected to a partner who did NOT love or care for me, and, had INTENTIONALLY lied to me.
Decades further on, in the USA, one can now BUY a vasectomy reversal surgery for USA $3,500 with a success potential of 33%.
Throughout the 1900s and into the 2000s, this form of bait-and-switch pseudoscientific institutionally and politically sanctioned and then reversed experience has been a REALITY for more and more persons. Eventually, why Trust ANYTHING which science, medicine, the government, or your spouse tells you in the form of a statement of Promise you can bet your Future on?

The Satanic nature of our culture and species is exhibited by the increasingly dominant practice of making LIVING entities and symbols into talismans, magical statements, fantasy promises, and actions, leading to reactive CHOICES intended to bring us, individually, culturally, or species-wide .. significant benefits and privileges. These Practices are built upon Attitudes and Beliefs which are imprinted for so long and so dominantly that they become NORMS, never to be questioned. The overwhelming ATTITUDE is that we NEED to be rescued from a harsh and unforgiving God, or, that we have been placed into a position, by our God, that leaves us DESPERATE for survival. The Satanic BELIEF of God as a harsh and sociopathic entity arises from our primary Energy Block of ABANDONMENT. By it, we FEEL apart from our God. In REALITY, it is WE who distance ourselves from our God. It is WE who NEVER make an effort to communicate and partner with our God. It is WE who close ourselves off to receiving any direction or feedback from our God. It is WE who disrespectfully curse and blame our God for not rescuing us from OUR mistakes and for not imposing the Best direction and Choices on us, as if we were babies living without parents or a community.
In my many decades of EXPERIENCE, which places us intimately close to REALITY, God has ALWAYS been Available to and for me whenever I ASKED a question of my God. It is my God who has ALWAYS provided me with an answer or a source of information and wisdom when I LISTENED. And, by acting on those gems of Available and Best options I have NEVER had an outcome that was a disaster or failure in MILLIONS of requests. It was a learning curve to determine how I could Best phrase my questions and it was equally important in the early stages for me to ensure the ACCURACY of what I received, and, to be HUMBLE enough and Mature enough to go as far as was needed to Understand the Spiritual Guidance enough to have the Motivation to Act with CONFIDENCE. But, I grew up in a culture in which I was surrounded by persons and a religion-education system that preached a Belief that God was to be Feared, held apart, and Worshipped rather than KNOWN and RESPECTED. All directions forward were based upon a Desperation REACTED to with clutches onto magical THINGS which PROMISED surplus, wealth, lower costs, eventually the WEALTH of Calm, Acceptance, and the Affordability of the Unique.
Agriculture, for some early and noted sociologists and anthropologists, was the Great Downfall of humanity.
It provided the opportunity to produce EXCESS which would then enable theft and thus require Protection with armaments.
Such surpluses could then be traded and sold .. that eventually mandated the development of currencies. The Protection required for larger agricultural communities led to the requirement for leadership, a military, urban concentrations, infrastructures of municipal services such as water supply and sewage control -- financed by taxes. More aggregated Wealth encouraged even greater Risk for surrounding, starving tribes to attack the agricultural concentrations. Deception, manipulation, bribery, and threats also grew. The successful territories and leadership quickly recognized a cautionary trend with agriculture .. an almost predictable periodic FAILURE of crops usually dependent on periodic weather cycles or insect invasions. The Egyptians and some earlier urban centers and empires built their longevity on the basis of the STORAGE of part of their excess from the annual harvests to be utilized in the periodic devastations of droughts, floods, and plagues. But this form of oversight and leadership required a culture of harmonious belief and attitude and with a close association of all with agriculture.
As the human population grew in size and density, greater numbers of person became desperate due to their movement into areas less advantageous for agriculture .. leaving them poor and hungry a majority of the time. Especially later when super-sized nations had leaders who made efforts to expand their power, Taxation, and control further, Empires arose. Soon enough the quantity of people became great again, restrictions on the resource of LAND spurred even greater sized urban areas with ever greater sized uneducated and low- or no-income desperate inhabitants. The prevalence of abandoned children, beggars, thieves, robbers, epidemics, murderers, unemployed, and violence grew. The bloated state infrastructure of services and the dangers to the land and business owners also grew. Something was needed to get rid of the riff-raff, increase the safety and security of the privileged status quo, increase the taxation benefits, and, bring in clothing and material resources (land, cotton, tea, coffee, grains, plantation fruits) to supplement and eventually replace the less available and costly products (wool, wood, metals, contaminated water).
Colonization became the answer to this population constructed REALITY of perpetual problems fueling Desperation and Crime.
With colonization you simply went to a territory not currently ruled by you .. and steal it! Communicable severe disease often diminished the aboriginal population by as much as 80%. Many of the rest were massacred, forcefully relocated to the worst of agricultural lands, or, enslaved. Along most of coastal Africa, there were DOZENS of tribes suffering also from overpopulation. Essentially, they did not have the ships, armaments, and militaries to invade other lands, steal them, and transfer their "extra population" there for colonization. They could murder thousands of their tribespersons, and that of nearby tribes, through conflict, miscommunication, and battles, OR, they could GIVE their extras to this newly arrived WHITE-skinned gods to carry away in exchange for a minimum of trading goods. As these SLAVES had a FATE (Choice determined by their leaders) of being executed for some newly created crime, or, to be taken away by some strange and powerful force for some unknown destination and obligation .. they were reasonably calm to go with the latter. So, MILLIONS were exported to the Americas (mainly Brazil and the USA) to be PURCHASED (often with monies loaned by England .. some remained unpaid to 2022 when they were forgiven!) to become the Agricultural resource of LABOR.
The discovery and highlight of steam and physics opened the world to innovations utilizing commercial sources of energy plus metal contraptions to enact repetitive physical actions .. a baseline requirement of most forms of farming -- labor. Within decades, most of the trees had been harvested and used in Europe. A few more decades and much of the coal would become too dangerous and costly to mine. Industries began to be developed that would enable the future development and utilization of machines that could only be constructed and operated with massive amounts of concentrated energy. The discovery, harvesting, and multiplication of products and uses of petroleum and electricity enabled the development and proliferation of armaments, lumber hauling "tractors" (which would be fashioned into locomotives), railway tracks, ... and eventually, more armaments, tractors, implements, vehicles, cars, planes, ..... With TECHNOLOGY, there would always be a Status Quo PROMISE that miracles would arrive to be enjoyed. In the REALITY of experience and uncontaminated history, it would be a CURSE. What often emerged from the workshop was a tool which would deliver on some things while creating ever new and more numerous and complicated PROBLEMS. What grew out of Reactions to Desperation would eventually create ever more Desperate Realities .. which would be REACTED to with the introduction of yet more forms of Technology.
A crucial REALITY, persistently overlooked in the status quo, is that Technological development, utilization, and spread requires a large input of MONEY. Essentially RICHES enable investment in the provision of what can, in the short-term, provide Riches for the new user .. the farmer and business operator. Particularly in the USA, though eventually spreading like a plague to the rest of the agricultural community, the RICHES promised depended, in a knowledgeable and disciplined manner, on the buyer having made a sustained Profit and persisted in building an increasing SAVINGS. The long-term agricultural dynamic had become one of building on Ignorance, ritual, and, and the addictive BELIEF spawned by the deceptions and manipulative tactics of machine - technology manufacturers and the dissociation with agriculture and its history by politicians who added market concentration, segmentation, global marketing, and, factory intensification to the equation. Typically, each region and nation reached a threshold beyond which INCOME did NOT sustain the non-agricultural factory producer, and, what had become Status Quo uses of the soil and water drove it ever closer to FAILURE.
TECHNICALLY, every aspect on which agriculture was Dependent was pushed, with Desperation, to a breaking limit.
Most American (and increasingly Canadian, European, Australian, Argentinean and others) farmers had bought the Promise of Success through mechanization. With politicians PREVENTING the economic progression of the minimum wage upwards (often bought by the bribes and persuasion of billionaires), and the cost of foods upwards to match the ever rising Cost-of-Living, farmers could not SELL enough to pay for the overhead of their farming operation. They experienced persistent inadequacies which suggested that they were NOT producing enough to afford them a lifestyle beyond overwork and poverty. First, they went into debt to KEEP their farms. Then, they went into MORE DEBT to purchase farm implements. Then they added MORE DEBT as they were convinced to become dependent on the use of costly chemical fertilizers, pesticides, GMO seeds, and yet MORE technology (drainage and irrigation). With so much debt, RECOVERY was only by way of bankruptcy, selling one's land and equipment ownership, sale and leaseback, or suicide. By 2023, 50% of American farmers RENTED their land-livelihood from investors they had sold to. Each YEAR, 5000 farmers were quitting farming with their children AVOIDING farming (20,000 farms lost in 4 years).
What was KNOWN yet lost through educated Ignorance, Pride, and Market dependency were a few elemental REALITIES.
Most farmers in the USA had NEVER had an interest in, appreciation for, or awareness of the Fundamental demands of Agriculture.
Soils had been persistently lost and degraded in humus and fertility for 80 years or more (loss of as much as 90% of soil DEPTH).
Overdemand on groundwater supplies had REDUCED reservoir levels, lakes behind dams, and depths of aquifers by 70%.
A desperate dependency on GMO grains requiring chemical supports and technological planting and harvesting was the Norm.
With the EXCESSIVE depletion of atmospheric protections through machine and cattle expulsion of ozone depletion gases .. the climate had exceeded a non-recoverable threshold leaving only INCREASING extremes of temperature, precipitation, and wind for the present and future. With an INCREASING globalization and concentration of markets, non-local variations in foreign Agricultural trends and in POLITICAL and population size ... LOCAL markets could be, and were, SUDDENLY lost, and, INCOMES disappeared. Almost nobody recognized the long displayed and long reported REALITIES described above. An ADDICTION on Technology had, and was, bleeding the farmer and their resources into sterility, depression, and, eventual collapse.
I was fortunate to grow up on a large single-family mixed use farm in southern Ontario.
Mixed use indicates that multiple products are farmed and that requires the development of multiple sets of skills, awareness and knowledge. When I was youngest, yet frequenting the barn and pens, we had horses, cows, steers, pigs, chickens, cats and a dog. As I grew older, technology replaced some of the more labor intensive and sometimes conflict arising modalities. The horses went (by my age 6) to be replaced by a John Deer tractor, and later by a second (Massey Ferguson) tractor .. which did not have the independence of personality that the horses had. The pigs also were discontinued. Many immigrants to the USA and Canada during the 1800s and early 1900s had little or no education and had no familiarity with farm animals or crops. Initially, they chose farming because it was made most available to them by their colonizer nations. Often also coming from an environment of DESPERATION as an extension of pandemic, poverty, homelessness, abandonment, and/or penalty .. they had little sophistication of emotional and communication skills. Abuses of relatives as well as farm animals was often a NORM. Technology did not require acknowledgement, patience, kindliness, compassion, understanding, or forgiveness. Essentially, technology was the perfect SLAVE.
Before the age of 12 years I was responsible for the daily (7 days per week) of chores as well as assisting in the use of the farm implements. That meant getting up at 6:00 am to go out to the barn; do the DAILY chores; collecting the eggs and cleaning the hen house on my way back to the house for breakfast about 8:00; off to school at 8:30; in school from 9:00 to 4:30; home for 5:00; chores to 7:00; supper, then homework from school, sleep often soon after 9:00 or 10:00. DAILY chores included cleaning stables, adding straw bedding for the animals; moving hay, straw and grain from storage mows and bins to the lower animal husbandry level, feeding cattle, milking cows (singly and with minimal tech), washing up milking apparatus. During weekends and through the summer and vacations ... crop, forestry, and pasture work was necessary ... cutting (axes, chainsaw) and hauling trees/lumber, spreading manure, ploughing, disking, cultivating, harrowing, and seeding fields. Then there would be pulling waist high weeds by hand. By harvesting time there would be cutting (mower), raking, windrowing, swathering, conditioning, baling and threshing-combining, collection and transporting of hay-straw-grains to the barn, and, unloading manually or by machine driven blower or bale transporting chain-driven elevator. There was also the necessity to use everyday tools including a hammer, hand saw, screwdrivers, wheelbarrow, shovels .... I cannot say WHEN each of these implements arrived .. as I was not involved in their selection or payment. Learning to use a rifle and a deadly extermination powder safely and efficiently became a norm for reducing and eliminating crop pests such as badgers, groundhogs, skunks, foxes. By the later 1950s we had a third and much larger and more powerful tractor. On a MIXED farm you had to become technically aware and mechanically proficient.
By replacing human and animal labor with technology, it became easier, faster, more complicated technically, and, more EXPENSIVE.
During the 1950s, I and several friends, were unjustly victimized by an untrue scandal that saw me, and likely them, REJECTED by the community. At first, in my childhood ignorance I believed their accusations must be true .. resulting in self-hatred. Later, I learned that their accusations were lies and that I was innocent and had been incapable of their judgements. That turned my respect for the community and Desire for membership into a Hatred for them (which allowed me to avoid the hazards of an authoritarian membership). Before the mid-1960s, I was having to decide if I would take over the farm from father or leave it and work elsewhere .. which would necessitate my father selling the farm. I had, for more than a decade, had SEVERE farm-DUST (hay, straw, grain) allergies requiring multi-adult dosages of drugs to cope. I had completed a home study course in undersea diving and a SCUBA diving course. I was still largely unaware of farm accounting .. it was not practiced, to my knowledge by dad and the high school programs NEVER touched on anything financial for farming .. even though it was located in a primary farming region! Working for a summer on a road construction crew proved to be TRAUMATIC in terms of real violent abuse and near sexual abuse. I had been academically interested in post-high school subjects, especially after two teachers disencouraged us from our school subjects, by telling us that we would NEVER use what we were having to excel at because it would be done by electronic calculators and other machines. The result was moderate grades where I had previously ALWAYS had very HIGH grades. Sociologically, it was a time when many students with high grades were flooding universities. I was not accepted anywhere.
Off to the city I went as farming was out for mental and physical health reasons, university would have to be delayed because of academic distractions, commercial diving was out because it was too risky for life insurance, and, blue collar work was out because of traumatic experiences on-the-job, and, unconsciously, I did NOT want to remain in a COMMUNITY which had traumatized me at continuously between age 9 and 16. In Toronto, I eventually was hired into an early Bank Manager Trainee program (one of the first, intended to supplant the usual advancement by merit and longevity process which was not producing enough new executives). While there, it became an increasing disappointment (and sometimes shock) to me that the institutional form of MORALITY was neither as clear and clean as mine, nor, open to feedback or change. I enrolled in the first private computer course in Canada (decades before computer science courses became offered at universities) and graduated 3rd in a class of 16. This gave me the fundamental understanding of and experience in working with electromechanical devices, electronics, data utilization machines, and mainframe computers. Mini-computers were just arriving on the scene and microcomputers would be decades in the future. I knew that I had difficulty understanding people not like me as well as communicating with them in a wide range of different business, social, and even intimate environments .. so, on a personal level, I had already begun in late high school to study psychology, religions, self-defense, and anthropology. These would eventually skew me into sociology. Apart from the recent (2020s) hype of AI (Artificial Intelligence), computers have ALWAYS had AI capabilities, as any early programmers and maintenance technicians know. That is why we use them! What they are now being developed and produced to use ... is WISDOM.
What sustained humanity for almost 2 million years was Respect for all life, Independence, small numbers of close relationships, knowledge transferred through mentoring of other community members, and, wisdom gained through Personal Experience. With a sudden expansion in population numbers ... group dynamics, supporting territory, resources available, and, a worldview changed. Now, in the plains and savannas, food was less predictable in finding, predators were larger and more dangerous, conflicts with neighboring groups began to increase .. it was now a livelihood of persistent confusion, anxiety, fear, separation from God ... DESPERATION. In a world of Desperation, Survival becomes a paramount focus encouraging the Believer to consider all other Life as a competitor capable of theft, violence, injustice. Larger groups demand a foundation for stability and security: language, music, beliefs, lifestyle, tools. And for simplicity of decisionmaking .. most often in human history, we need to set a form of HUMAN godliness (leadership), and introduce laws, expectations, assumptions, rituals ... some things we SHARE in common (norms) as confirmations of our Membership and, an acknowledgement of our Identity. As population grows in numbers and density, it quickly becomes an urgent necessity to find or create an optimization and multiplication of our resources ... or, become extinct.
Changes in Lifestyle were introduced by Extraterrestrial Visitors with the good Intention of Rescuing Humans from their apparent self-sabotaging increased fertility and endless libido presence. Those had been introduced in error when an earlier Visitor had bioengineered humans to take on an appearance closer to their own. The biggest CHANGE now, to address the LARGE population was to become aware of and integrate ways of providing a greater ACCESS to Food. The utilization of ritual, repetitive actions to prepare OPEN soil, plant seeds in ROWS, remove weeds in conflict with the food plants, harvest the seeds produced, make them ready for storage, trade them or prepare them to be edible .. would mean a world of difference from wandering about to find bunches of ripened fruits, vegetable, or roots .. and eating them fresh and raw! Once the HUMANS integrated an understanding of this SECOND major change they would also integrate with it, as an extension of their Desperation ETHIC, that there would be little Respect for other lifeforms they could now CONTROL. If this had been a normal progression of human ingenuity, they would have notice more than a million years sooner, that ANTS, one of the major lifeforms in the jungle, FARM their foods, and, that there are many other species who do similar dynamics. Humans, like other primates had used TOOLS earlier in the form of straws, sticks, and other items to allow them access to some foods. After HUNDREDS of years, and much more expansion of population numbers ... DESPERATION would mandate a transition from tools to technology.
Like almost ALL introductions of technology, the concept arises from the development, or intended development of ARMAMENTS.
Until the early 1940s, technology was the result of individuals "playing around" with already in use tools ... boats, guns, vehicles, food storage, implements .. by investing their own SAVINGS to build a prototype and to take that to production .. with the frequent RISK of failure to develop or to market, and, losing ALL of one's savings. Credit and loans were often made on a person-to-person basis, and usually, only for short-terms to be completed with full repayment of the principle and the Interest agreed upon. DESPERATION again entered the Reality. In order to refine uranium and develop the atomic bombs, the USA had to acquire HUGE financial resources only available with government guarantees. With WWII ended, the VICTORS, in their usual HUMAN dynamic, manipulated the facts to make it appear that the COMMERCIAL (scientific, military strategy, cultural superiority, financing) had been Superior to that of the Nazis and Japanese. It isn't that dramatic when your enemy has run out of critical resources (fuel, weapons and food). Power and PRIDE have historically blinded political leaders to the needs of those they govern while becoming ADDICTED to what has RESCUED them from Failure: in this case, Technology and Credit.
I was introduced to the concept of a Weltanschauung in the late 1970s in my early years at university by Professor J.O. Wisdom.
A Weltanschauung is a worldview ... the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the whole of the individual's or society's knowledge, culture, and point of view. A worldview can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics. In 1911, the German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey published an essay which outlined "The Types of Worldview (Weltanschauung). Our class was not made aware of the history or breadth of the concept by our professor who seemed to present only one variation of it which I came to reference as the "Rational Weltanschauung" in a thesis long and presentation of what I saw as an alternative .. "The Emotional Weltanschauung." Essentially, this described the worldview of a band organized subsistence human culture living in a tropical rainforest. It could also be indicative of many aboriginal bands in North America and elsewhere. If you do not have a PERSONAL experience of the two, it is, for most persons, impossible to become aware of and acknowledge that in different environments and with different resources how we structure our beliefs, expectations, perceptions, and values can greatly differ from those of another human culture. Each is RELEVANT to their own environment and enable adaptations, rituals, and behaviors which provide Survival. Coming in contact with another groups which has an alternative worldview often has resulted in human history with one culture condemning the other as Wrong, Foolish, or even Primitive .. while projecting one's own as Superior, Correct, or Divinely Dictated or Inspired. CONFLICTS have been the historical outcomes.
Moving from a Self-Sufficient, Dynamic, Stable Climate LIFESTYLE in a tropical jungle location to a multiplicity of Inadequate, Seasonal changing, Ritual Behavior LIFESTYLE in an Agricultural grassland-savanna location required a Weltanschauung dramatic change to one of DESPERATION. With an increasing population, a seasonal challenge between starvation and opulence, an open landscape which depended on SIGHT more than HEARING for Safety from Predators, and, a necessity to construct more permanent shelters and adopt a more structured WORK (rather than Play-Discovery-Recover) foodstuff acquisition ... RESOURCES became a primary Adaptation. It eventually became evident that plants-grasses-grains required a finely tuned planting awareness in order to optimize Yields before the end of a somewhat regular and lengthy growing period (unlike the daily harvesting of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and roots). Desperation provided a Motivation of Urgency. That seemed to be best served with determining an accuracy for the optimal planting and harvesting times. Someone, in each agricultural community eventually began to notice that astronomical movements and patterns could closely take guesswork and align with such timings. Appreciation for the sun, moon, and stars expanded into a Reverence (and in some cases, a Worship) of the heavenly bodies. It became Magical and Powerful for one or more TECHNICIANS in the community to devise ways of consistently determining BEST planing and harvesting times. Too Late would result in immature crops, frozen plants, flood or drought damaged growth, and, a Threat or Reality of Starvation. Get it wrong .. and you might be executed! Accuracy and Perfection stimulated a further attraction to Mathematics and Religions.
Energy Blocks were introduced with the bioengineering errors imposed by well intentioned Extraterrestrial Visitors who Proudly considered THEIR form and abilities to be an improvement over what our God had provided us with. Energy Blocks permit us humans to experience sudden, confusing, and shocking events as Life Threatening. Our Reptilian Structure (Strongest nerve center of mammals and reptiles) to build on a shocking experience and impose a "Never-Again" attitude and behavior ADDICTION. This can be inherited. An Addiction prevents a person from ADAPTING to a reality that SEEMS to be the same as or similar to a previous exposure. The result is a Predictable REACTIVE behavior, supported by an Attitude and Belief .. which tend to be irrelevant, and often self-sabotaging. We may become aware of this REACTIVE pattern in others and in ourselves, yet we are usually helpless to consciously control or change it. We LEARN to assume that these Oddities are simply part of our Identity, so, we Excuse and Justify them in ourselves and tend to Condemn and Judge others for theirs, unless, they mirror ours.
The WORLDVIEW change from the FLUID Jungle to the FIXED Agriculture lifestyle required the IMPRINTING adoption of a Sociopathic-Technical form of Love-Hate relationship with lifeforms. Beginning about 300 B.C., when the AFFECTED numbers of humans reached a majority ... agriculture, herding, tribalism, and sanctioned murder (war) became NORMS. It would become rare, to this day (2024) for a person educated in a nationalized organization to have ANY concern or empathy for any other lifeform, and sometimes, any other adversary tribal member. TECHNICIANS have little interest in the dangers or damages which the devices they create will impose on others; their Motivation is membership acceptance in their own tribe by the accuracy and efficiency of the tools they develop. Farmers, particularly those now employed in mass "factory" farms, treat their cattle, fowl, cows, and other animals AS IF they were Devices. Anger is expressed at individual farm animals who do NOT behave according to the expected perfections of the owner. This also applies to the MILLIONS of animals utilized (often in torturous ways) in laboratory experiments every year for the past CENTURY to test everything from drugs to weapons.
Until the 1940s, technical development and improvement was ONLY the realm of nations and institutions with LARGE taxation or donation financial reserves, and, a FEW bored wealthy nobles, and, retired entrepreneurs. During the 1940s, the USA, in particular, resorted to national budgetary excesses, backed by financial DEBT, to provide and enhance MILITARY weapons. Entering as a LATE participant in WWII, and only being successful because of the destitution (lack of weapons, fuel, and bullets) of their adversaries .. the USA military would consistently frighten, threaten, bribe, and deceive their political bankers to finance the development and production of ever greater technologies of Destruction and Sanctioned Murder (wars). THEY decided what the citizens would pay for, and, become INDEBTED for. The majority of Americans, PROMISED the American Dream of Wealth-for-All, remained poor, desperate, minimally educated, stuck with a low minimum wage, and persistently IMPRINTED with a mass media that portrayed REALITY as violent, criminal, laughable, unfairly competitive, and preaching Hatred, Tribalism, Fantasy, and Desperation.
Technology use and development from the 1940s has taken a greatly different and both deceptive and manipulative direction with the focus being on the accumulation of POWER and PROFIT without regard for humanity. Beginning by the late 1930s, American movies particularly moved away from the slapstick comedy, dramatic mystery, and political-social criticism towards the action-violent (war), criminal how-to glorification, romantic idealism, and political threat themes. Television was introduced and soon cartoon tended to preteens, game shows raised the expectations of the poor, and soap operas offered a family dynamic to those minimized in social contact by long hours of low paying routine jobs. The overlap between the government justification of the military benefits of an endemic highway and bridge system with the rescue of wartime vehicle and aircraft industry with the propaganda of the cars-for-freedom efforts kept employment high and expanded consumer debt. The Third Reich had begun the transfer of artillery to missile weapons. Stalin combined his monastery training in astronomy calculation and ballistics calculations with rockets to spur an intent to place atomic weapons in orbit. Within a few decades academics were attracted to the fantasy of Space travel to avoid unemployment. The airborne investments in mainframe computers to provide military targeting detail during the Vietnam War became smothered by the expansion of mini-computer uses in business, and later, microcomputer flooding followed by Internet promised access to pornography and gambling.
With a USA Federal Supreme Court ruling translating "Free Speech" from Facts-Opinions to accept Slander-Threats, the American political and justice system grew in its LACK of Respectful morality to one of the American Dream of using illegality-cowardice-bullying-traitorship to win by any means one's Power-Money-Popularity. This was assisted by a hypocritical and authoritarian government which continued to mandate the university teaching of ...... All the while, American politicians fed, often by electioneering donations, gifts, and bribes, the counter-humanity pro-billionaire industries of armaments, petrochemicals, monopolies, and, fantasy industries (Space and astronomy, military, gambling, imprisonment, drugs, and movies) with taxpayer monies ... continually raising the amount of national DEBT each citizen was responsible for. The introduction of portable phones and GPS satellites (for military purposes) soon was promoted for Personal use. The pattern of deception and manipulation was set: quietly and secretly introduce MILITARY technology, and then, give political friends the monopoly to flood the market with personalized models which could be tracked and hacked .. by the government "Intelligence" services.
In early 1958, both early Russian and USA satellites detected the two major Van Allen Radiation (VAR) belts.
Earth's 3 main VAR belts extend from an altitude of about 640 to 58,000 km (400 to 36,040 miles) above the surface, in which region radiation levels vary. The third belt was unknown until 2013 when the space programs actually took an interest in the region which was known to influence, and sometimes disable, satellites, and, can affect astronaut health for those long in the region and could become fatal within a period of months. Beyond the Van Allen Belts one is exposed to cosmic rays, known about since 1912, greatly reduced strengths of them can and have influenced airliner electronics .. far below the Van Allen Belts. True SPACE does not begin until beyond the Van Allen Belts. Thus, few satellites and NO so-called space stations have ever been in Space and any missions to the Moon have traveled through REAL Space for a few days at most. It has been known for many DECADES that without radiation protection, humans remaining on the Moon or traveling to Mars would die within WEEKS. NASA has been aware of these REALITIES since 1961. Yet, trillions of dollars have been spent on the combined POLITICAL contest between the USA, Russia, China, and other nations to blast off satellites, foster movies and mass media and DECEIVE most of humanity into believing in the FANTASY of an ease of extraterrestrial travel. At least 2 extensive NASA reports have been written and unpromoted in the past 20 YEARS. As of 2024, we have NO viable means of providing protection for humans in REAL Space.
Is our Technological Lifestyle sociopathic? Does it sabotage Human Survival?
As a species, it took us, politically, more than 60 YEARS to acknowledge that we are experiencing a climate crisis unknown in the history we know of the Earth in terms of rapidity of change and its association with the human impositions on the ecology. It was known, also DECADES ago, that the use of fossil fuels highly contributed to this trend. In what has become a human historical pattern, when we did, as a species, BEGIN to acknowledge OUR reality, we REACTED with changes that made the already over-the-threshold trend WORSE. In another historical human behavioral pattern, we FAIL to explore the REALITY sincerely enough to reveal the FUNDAMENTAL starting point and mandatory driver of the ecological devastation and climate endangerment: overpopulation! A FAILURE to acknowledge and make constructive adjustments is now (2024) likely impossible to influence in the time remaining before OUR self-addictive pride and ignorance makes it impossible for most of us to survive.
What have we done since 1945?
We formed a United Nations (UN) institution which made a continued competitive group of Empires mandatory.
We developed and tested ever greater explosive and destructive forms of nuclear weapons for threats to others.
We encouraged endless armaments development and proliferation by NOT making such violence accountable.
We could have mandated that only the UN would possess small neutron (no radiation fallout) bombs against armies.
We politically rewarded ever more huge petrochemical corporations for making huge profits while knowingly polluting.
We politically rewarded ever more huge pharmaceutical corporations for the side effects their products imposed sickness.
We politically rewarded ever more huge chemical corporations for making toxic pesticides, fungicides, herbicides.
We commercially continue to enable the most polluting freight ships (thousands) for contaminating air and water.
We commercially exterminated or unbalanced almost every form of marine food source and lifeform, with technologies.
We continue to encourage low value "Space Exploration" at the use and cost of HUGE amounts of energy and resources.
We politically encourage the use of Electricity driven technologies whose production specifically AMPLIFIES pollution.
We continue to allow for the ADDICTIVE use of mass media and cellphones to make other humans weak and dependent.
We use our mass media to KNOWINGLY spread lies, promote dangers, discredit those who care,
---- and applaud those who selfishly manipulate the Energy Blocked persons (most everybody now)
------ to sabotage their own freedoms and Reduce their options for Recovery and Survival.
Who are the Losers? (Minimums)
75 thousand Divorces -- better communication skills were known and could have been offered.
150 thousand forced early retirements -- surgeries were denied and delayed because the patient was too young!
3 million Homeless & becoming ill -- $ trillions went to Fantasy Space, Entertainment, Military projects.
7 million persons incarcerated for lack of access to ethical legal representation, though innocent.
10 million displaced
10 million miscarriages and stillbirths attributed to polluted water, air, and foods.
36 million civilians were murdered as collateral damage or massacres in dictatorships or political rebellions.
60 million Chronically ill -- $ billions were spent by governments to subsidize the spread of toxins.
890 million live in long-term poverty because of enforced minimum wage levels lobbied by the wealthy.
2.8 billion people subjected to transient & chronic diseases from polluted waters from absent treatment facilities.
70% -- amount by which wildlife populations have declined since 1970 due to human influences of disrespect.
60 Billion
Energy Blocks - every Traumatic experience can generate multiple Blocks transferable to children.
We have left our own species Health and Survival until no amount of effort and money will allow for a Recovery.
This is what it means to NOT use Technology with Values which Respect ALL Life and Revere our Spiritual God.
We have CHOSEN to do all of this APART from the Will of a God who kept us Safe with Enough for 2 million years.
We have distorted the use of Technology to Attack, Control, Impose, Deceive, Manipulate, Steal from, and Abuse our own species members.

2022-12-12
In November, 2020, I had a series of medical scans performed in a large Calgary, Alberta hospital.
I was given a copy of the result to forward to my Family Physician in Lethbridge, Alberta.
I had gone to the hospital Emergency Department to have a significant medical problem (blackout) diagnosed and treated.
During the next 24 hours I was given every form of medical scan to discern the source of the blackout and other problems
... Ultrasound (Medical Ultrasound), Chest X-Ray (CXR), CT Scan (Computed Tomography), Bili Hida, no MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging).
On the paper copy of the results of each step I noticed a Warning/Clarification notice for all Doctors.
This was evidently NOT information that was usually shared with patients. It read, duplicated for each scan result:
Images are not diagnostic.
Higher quality images are available in Xeroviewer and Impax.
I had earlier researched medical scanning technical specifications and found that all such device had the capability to be equipped with both LOW and HIGH Resolution hardware and settings. I had also discovered that in the city of Lethbridge, where I was living, the hospital there did NOT have any scanning device equipped to provide High Resolution scans. One of the reasons for going to Calgary was to hopefully receive at least ONE High Resolution scan which might assist in diagnosing, finally, the source of a mass in my abdomen of at least 30 pounds in weight which influenced the functioning of my intestines, stomach, lungs, heart, and likely other organs, directly or indirectly. I asked the technicians in the Calgary hospital who were running the tests if they were using the High Resolution setting. They seemed to be unaware that there was a capability of more than one setting. As the cost and time duration involved in using a High Resolution setting is greatly more than that of the LOW resolution scans, it would be a budgetary restriction to ONLY have a HIGH Resolution setting as the ONLY and common setting. In essence, all the scans taken of me were LOW Resolution.
Errors and discrepancies may cause direct or indirect, permanent, or temporary harmful effects because of a false, missed, or delayed diagnosis. ... Effective communication between radiologists, radiology technicians, patients and clinicians is one of the key factors in reducing errors and thereby enabling proper patient management. Awareness of and familiarity with errors and underlying biases is essential for radiologists to be able to cope with them, avoid false interpretations and develop counter-measures.
It is known, to those who do the research or check the MEDICAL specifications and statistics, that LOW Resolution scans will NOT enable the discernment of numerous ailments possible with a HIGH Resolution scan. Commonly MISSED (Status Quo) are these:
- 50% of all Cancers (those without Calcium in their tissues),
- Lung Cancer, or, missed lung nodules,
The percentage of lung cancers missed on CXR that can be seen in retrospect ranges from 20% to 30% to as high as 90%.
- Pneumonia airspace opacities,
Pneumonia frequently may be overlooked when at the lung bases and superimposed on the diaphragms.
- Pneumothorax,
The very thin white line of the displaced visceral pleura can be overlooked, and the air in the pneumothorax space is not readily differentiated from that of the peripheral lung.
Tracheal Stenosis and Masses
The trachea long has been recognized as a blind spot for radiologists, with tracheal abnormalities (e.g., postintubation or tracheostomy stenosis, primary tumors) frequently overlooked.
Hilar Masses and Lymphadenopathy,
This requires familiarity with the range of normal appearances of the hila and knowledge of hilar anatomic features (relationship of hilar vessels, bronchi, and lymph nodes) on both the posteroanterior and lateral views (Access and Experience).
- Mediastinal Lesions,
The findings may be subtle and overlooked, requiring both a thorough visual search and knowledge of normal mediastinal anatomic features on both the posteroanterior and lateral CXR views.
- Pneumoperitoneum,
Abnormal gas collections in the mediastinum, as are present with pneumomediastinum, may be overlooked easily without a complete visual examination (which takes, Time, Experience, Patience). It is important that the routine systematic visual search of the CXR image extends into the upper abdomen, both on the posteroanterior as well as lateral view if obtained, so as not to miss this potentially critical finding.
- Osseous Fractures and Metastases,
Missed fractures are the second most common cause of malpractice claims against radiologists.
Evaluation of the CXR image requires a dedicated, systematic search of the thoracic osseous structures so as not to miss the presence of fractures, as well as metastases and other lesions of the bones. This requires specific attention to the ribs, clavicles, scapulae, proximal humeri, and spine on the posteroanterior view, as well as the thoracic spine and sternum on the lateral view.
Perceptual errors are the predominant source of these missed findings.
What is projected, expected, or feared to be found frequently taint and corrupt the diagnostic tasks.
The incidence of errors may be as high as 30% when the test cases all show abnormalities.
Published statistics on the frequency of specific missed CXR findings are limited and largely are based on malpractice data.
It is important to note that overall evidence indicates that radiologists’ errors are not the result of carelessness or negligence, but rather are the result of the very complex processes involved in CXR interpretation.
The principle causes of cognitive errors, in addition to lack of domain knowledge, are the consequence of cognitive biases, of which more than 40 have been described. Among the more common cognitive biases are anchoring (latching onto initial data), framing (being influenced by the way a case is presented), alliterative (being overly influenced by prior reports), and expectation bias (missing findings which are unexpected to be present or absent).
Missed lung cancer is the third most common cause overall for malpractice litigation against radiologists, following breast cancer and fractures. ... A big drawback of computed tomography (CT) is that large masses within the gastrointestinal tract may not be visible during the abdominal investigation. .. Abdominal computed tomography is a .. technology for identifying fungal infection known as disseminated fungal infection (DFI) in pediatric cancer patients.
Common radiological ERROR types.
- False-positive or over-reading error
- Faulty-reasoning error
- Lack of knowledge error
- Under-reading error
- Poor communication-related error
- Technique-related error
- Prior examination-related error
- History-related error
- Location-related error
- Satisfaction of search
- Complication
- Satisfaction of report
Underlying BIAS types of radiological errors.
- Attribution bias
- Alliterative bias
- Availability bias
- Regret bias
- Framing bias
- Premature closure
- Inattentional bias
- Hindsight bias
- Zebra retreat
- Scout neglect
- Anchoring bias
- Confirmation Bias
The above noted Error types and Bias types are BASIC with many more possible.
Some decades ago, an Instruction manual written by a long term radiologist to provide a basic introduction to the Realities and Relevancy of the profession of Medical scanning technology and assessment cautioned that for a true benefit of the diagnostic tool it was to be considered that it would take 5 YEARS of Daily Experience with Attention and developing Discernment to reach a respectable level of SKILL. With the turnover of medical specialists and physicians in many Canadian provinces since 2015, and especially since 2018, and, with many provincial health services restricting the WEEKLY performance of such specialist to 3 DAYS ... those in such positions are typically YOUNG and will take 12 YEARS to reach a respectable level of Expertise.
Limitations on their ever becoming a stable benefit to patients will include ...
IF they are exercising ACCESS, PATIENCE, and Enthusiasm, and, be further limited by the political focus of most Canadian provincial services on REDUCING Costs and minimizing technological device Quality. Such students and apprentices will be in an elevated likelihood to make ERRORS until they have been on-the-job for a LONG time, yet, the institutions and the doctors will assume that they are Experts devoid of Errors! The Status Quo has both institutionalized and ensured that Medical Scan will INCREASINGLY be INACCURATELY assessed.
The Gifted Television.
A poor person moved from a foreign country of self-sufficiency to a sophisticated one which seemed to offer many benefits unusual to them. An income was required for all necessities had to be purchased and any other preferences largely came by way of trade or currency. His new employer wanting that the new arrival feel welcome gifted a television set and the access requirements for a wide range of programs. The new arrival felt both privileged with the entertainment device and owing of acknowledgement and loyalty to the new employer. Now, many broadcasts were available to be viewed and be informed by.
The television set was, at first, a novelty for the new arrival.
After a while, the broadcasts seemed somewhat distant, like photographs in an old book.
Everything was black and white and shades of grey. It was a little crowded for all of the family to view anything altogether.
It was a black and white picture television with a screen size of 19 inches. Overheard from the community outside were voices of neighbors and passersby sometimes speaking about the shows, serials, newscasts, game shows, soap operas, and comedies that were their favorites. It became confusing when it was heard that they had watched something with a large family or many friends present. It became even more odd when they spoke of seeing vibrant colors and a like-life presentation of some storied reality.
On a further query of some of these acquaintances, it was determined that they had much larger 24 inch sized displays, and, that the broadcasts they received were in color. The new employee wondered if they needed a more expensive reception service, or, if there was something broken about the device they had been gifted. Visiting several stores it became amazing to find that the televisions for sale there were sized from 24 to 40 inches, and, that ALL of them had a capability of a color display. It became almost distressing to further discover that these OPTIONS of size and color were now commonly considered to be the NORMAL, if, one wanted a degree of QUALITY of service. What the new employee had been given was no longer regarded as anything more than CHEAP, LOW Quality, and, a sign of the employer seemingly deceiving the new employee into assuming that what had been Gifted was anything less than a normal device with no additional options and upgrades available.
When we are supplied with Technology which is expected to enable our life to be more normal with those others employed as we have been, we have a tendency to ASSUME that we have been provided with the level of Options to allow us to participate with a sense of Value, Membership, and, Loyalty. This is especially so if we are NOT required to personally pay for this technology, and, we are not provided with anything more than a rudimentary instruction booklet, or, none at all. This is like a MEDICAL technician being provided with a scanning device which only has a BASIC capability of LOW Resolution results ... because the employer wants to APPEAR that they use Powerful technologies, yet, want to pay the Least for it. The physicians and medical specialist who use the Results of the scanning technology also tend to expect that whatever they need to do a Professional job has been supplied by the Health Services employer. NOT provided with the TECHNICAL instruction far enough to be aware of the technical combinations possible in the device whose results they depend upon for DIAGNOSTIC assistance .. they also have NOT been provided with instruction that details the Benefits and Restrictions of the different settings available, for Standard Basic, and Extended Quality configurations.
The REALITY is that the Physicians and Medical Specialist only have LOW Resolution scanning results .. which will not expose SOFT tumors, cysts, and tissue irregularities common to as many as 50% of CANCERS, and 90% of parasitic infestations and hormonal irregularity growths. Everyone BELIEVES that they have an Excellent healthcare services establishment, while, what they really have is a way to Deny, Sustain, and Encourage preventable disease so that INCREASING numbers of patients are Confidently FORCED into Disability and to Invite premature DEATH.

its scandalous that RIMA MAOIs such as Moclobemide are not available in the USA.
These drugs have uses in treatment resistant depression and unlike the older irreversible MAOIs they have a good side effect profile.
No MAOI diet is required to use them.
Moclobemide, while not as potent as the irreversible MAOIs like Parnate/Nardil/Marplan, it certainly has advantages over the SSRIs.
For once, it works on dopamine. While it is mostly selective for MAO-A, you do get small amounts of MAO-B with Moclobemide, which can be useful in treatment resistant depression.
I just don't understand why RIMA MAOIs are not available here...these drugs are available
EVERYWHERE else... every single industrialized country in the world has RIMAs.

Prescription drug related deaths have been estimated at over 10,000 annually in Canada for over ten years.
Reported numbers used in statistics often rely upon voluntary submissions and medical examiner findings.
Dead people notoriously do not complete death related reports and most provinces highly minimize the service of and findings offered by their medical examiners .. which is largely misunderstood by the uninformed and misinformed public. Indicating only the MAIN and APPARENT major cause of death can easily sidestep the participation of prescription drugs in the death, and, denying an autopsy when the victim has been under the care of a physician carefully insulates any physician involved from malpractice charges and incompetency by way of ignorance or institutional shortcomings.
Complicating any RELEVANT interpretation of PREVENTABLE deaths resulting from the use of one or more prescription drugs is the frequent exclusive justifications of addiction overdoses, narcotics, opiode overdependency, "accidents", .... Conspicuously missing, HIDDEN, and ensuring only an increasing number of annual preventable deaths from prescription drug abuses include these factors:
- An institutional paranoia about healthcare COST rewarding SPEED of drug prescribing on minimal analysis support.
- Doctors expressing their AUTHORITY by either not requesting, listening to or ignoring the concerns expressed by the PATIENT.
- Physicians RUSHING their delivery by never accessing, building, or checking the MEDICAL HISTORY of the patient.
- Prescribing on the basis of projection and expectation without running MEDICAL TESTS to confirm symptom sources.
- Mass media pharmaceutical PROMOTION of the use of drugs based on Symptoms and without Diagnosis.
- Patients rushing to use drugs to quieten symptoms out of INCOME DESPERATION demanding continued work participation.
- Institutional academic styled limitations on the AVAILABILITY of drugs due to misapplication deaths.
- DIGITAL medical histories available to physicians and hospitals which are both unknown to and reviewable by patients.
I will note a number of actual PERSONAL experiences which exposed me to what could have been, and in some cases almost was, a fatal outcome. I SURVIVED, by using my Awareness, muscle testing, Spiritual Guidance, and the common sense denied by the Status Quo responses that if you have a dramatic unhealthy reaction to something, alter your direction and choices. If the politically and medically sanction authority denies, ignores, minimizes, or responds with committed ignorance ... go elsewhere.

I had been experiencing a scalp rash for several months and it had persisted and my immune system seemed incapable of eradicating it. I did not consider it urgent enough to go to the regional hospital Emergency Department. I went to the local medical clinic to see a physician. At the time, and in that British Columbia location, one could not obtain access to a Family Physician until the local one gained a patient register opening either by someone moving away or someone dying. Going to an adjacent medical services region and applying there to a physician who had an opening I found to be unacceptable. Institutional rules mandated that you could only book with a physician who was in your residence territory, with whom you were on a waiting list, and who had gained an opening. I had already been on his list for a year. So, I went to the clinic where walk-ins were accepted.
The physician at the clinic took a glance at my scalp and made an immediate diagnosis.
He had seen something similar with a boy about 10 days earlier. He would prescribe Keflex, an antibiotic, in a moderately high dosage. I expressed concern because I had only recently recovered from a systemic fungal disease (Candida Albicans) after several years of intensive effort and frustration. I mentioned this to him several times. Antibiotics are fungal based drugs. Taking a fungal drug to treat something when one had recently recovered from an intense and longer-term fungal overgrowth disease seemed to me to be playing with fire. It was as if he had heard nothing or did not care. He was certain with his 60 second diagnosis, WITHOUT either running ANY tests or taking any health history. I was to take the drug several times daily for 10 days and then return to him. I would much later find that there were dozens of other drugs, hormones, and vaccines which had the potential to raise serious side effects.
I began taking the drug.
Within 8 hours I was developing a THICK, WHITE, leathery coating on my mucus tissues ... lips, penis, and likely anus.
Washing off the coating resulted in it returning within hours. When the clinic opened the next day I phoned and left an urgent message for the physician to call me. No call. I phoned again toward the end of that day and early again the next day. The clinic receptionist, at my insistence, finally conveyed the response from the doctor to me: Keep taking the drug. If the side effects were great enough, go to the local Emergency Department. I had already stopped taking the drug after the first 10 hours and the side effect was clearing. There was no benefit in returning to the clinic physician. He had already demonstrated that he ASSUMED his expertise, did not consider medical history, and was not going to listen to the ramblings of a patient .. even though the patient might have lived with his health and history DECADES longer than the few minutes the doctor had seen him. There was no indication when I might have access to a Family Physician, and, with this doctor's attitude I was not confident in going to the Emergency Department.
I did what I had done successfully numerous times previously when the available physicians, often at Emergency Department in the province of Ontario had, again, not listened to me the patient, expressed NO interest in a medical history, had quickly surveyed my dramatic and special package of symptoms .. and diagnosed my "problem" as a disease which they considered to be acute and chronic and without any Recovery options. If I knew others with the same disease, they had UNIFORMLY shared with me that going to an Emergency Department would result in the doctor available reacting with an ASSUMED diagnosis and taking measures that would make my symptoms Life Threatening or Fatal. In those earlier days, I had learned how to use Muscle Testing to determine if a supplement or herb would be Beneficial and in what dosage or application. I had also been learning, since the mid-1980s, how to ASK for, RECEIVE, and work with Spiritual Guidance to find and use ANSWERS that ALWAYS enabled me to at least cope with, and often to eventually RECOVER from the illness or syndrome which the medical industry could best tell me would be soon fatal, or, make the symptoms WORSE! So, I went that path again now. Recovery did not appear to be an option; coping was.

In the mid-1990s I acquired a health condition in which I was Fatigued and Weak ALL of the time, had brain fog, was constipated, experienced intestinal bleeding, and, could neither work nor hold a job. I eventually ended up being on Social Assistance while going to doctors and specialists in Ontario in an effort to find a way to recovery. Some form of Intestinal cancer seemed likely. A urologist performed an intestinal internal inspection by way of a colonoscopy only to find nothing. He did NOT appreciate that I was MOTIVATED to recover and get back to work and that I questioned his lack of findings. After all, he was an EXPERT and proud of it! The regional hospital had recently adopted a TEAM approach to diagnosing and treating complex cases. Sent to them, I underwent many laboratory and interview tests .. again, with no odd findings to work on. They then decided as a group that a next best avenue to go down was to send me to a psychiatrist. I was skeptical about the psychiatric route. I had been career tested earlier as optimally gifted for any of 5 different professions of which psychiatry-psychology had been one. I had studied psychological theory and practice, both before, during, and after university (1977-1982). I did not perceive myself to be depressed.
On my first appointment to see the psychiatrist he did not seem to have or be interested in my medical history .. although he was aware of whom I had been to earlier, and likely my symptoms. I say that because he asked about neither. We spoke for a few MINUTES and then he gave me a prescription for Manerix with no instructions or cautions beyond the dosage. I never received a monograph or flyer on the drug from any doctor or pharmacist until I specifically demanded one more than a decade later. By then, I had done my own extensive research and was only interested in what might be new developments. The psychiatrist cautioned me that the Manerix would NOT likely begin to take effect for 3 WEEKS. I filled the prescription and began taking it. In 2 DAYS, most of my symptoms dramatically improved. I was no longer constipated, was much less fatigued, had no intestinal bleeding, and my mental fog had lifted quite a bit. I later, after a few months, went back to the psychiatrist with the motivation to share with him HOW the drug was working. It had NOT addressed emotional depression; it had remedied PHYSICAL Depression. He had NO interest in my findings and benefits. For a year, it became necessary for me to "play along" with the assessment that I was "depressed" and the Manerix was helping, or, he would have terminated the prescription.
Mercury and Lead Poisoning can be very subtle in the building and release of their influences and symptoms.
During the first year that I took Manerix, I discovered through the experience of several dental surgeries that Mercury Amalgam fillings could, and did with age, for me, begin to leak mercury gas which would be inhaled into the lungs attach to the blood and be transported to and deposited in various organs and tissues. A dominant form of the symptoms would be mental fogging, fatigue, and organ (including intestinal) DEPRESSED functioning. The Manerix kept me going until I discovered the Mercury connection. Being unemployable at the time and living with the sparse income of Social Services .. having restorable and effective dental maintenance was beyond the budget. At the time, in Ontario, the government had mandated that the ONLY composition for a dental appliance (filling) they would financially support for citizens poor and on welfare was mercury amalgam fillings. I was discovering the health influence of mercury when I was assessed by dentists, over a few years, as having cracked or broken teeth or abscesses. Mercury enters our system in the highest quantities when dental amalgam fixtures are being added-replaced, removed, or are degrading with age. Rather than having a new supply of mercury added to my body cells and organs, I had the teeth concerned extracted. In 2014 I had my remaining 14 teeth extracted at a Kindness dental extraction clinic.
A modern difficulty present with the detoxing of heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, .. ) is that there are many human made substances (chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, bombs, artillery shells, missiles, nerve gas, electronics, preservatives), the use of which adds these ingredients to the environment (air, water, soil). After a century of extensive and increasing use, it is difficult to eat many of the foods grown in the Americas, India, southeast Asia, or many other countries which do not contain some amount of heavy metals. The foods may be planted with such ingredients, sprayed with them while growing, be surrounded by contaminated soil, or preserved or packaged with such. Vast territories have been exposed to the aerosol contents of armaments explosions since 1908. Another major problem is that mercury and other heavy metals deposited into flesh, organs and bones through metabolism or aerosol routes typically is released and excreted through different stages, durations, with differing health enhancers ... all at Personalized rates not yet (2024) clearly understood. It may be that I release a considerable store of mercury and benefit with the significant and near immediate reduction in symptoms of toxicity. After weeks or months, or even years, more of the toxin may begin to come out of solution, raise symptoms again, and become available for detoxing.
This has resulted in my finding a considerable Benefit and even survival necessity to the use of Manerix to lessen constipation and enable the completion of daily intestinal flushing protocols, mandatory since mid-2016. It may now be that the past presence of heavy metals, or more likely, the influence of more recently acquired MEDICAL problems .. that some near permanent (unless timely surgery is undertaken) complication to my intestinal clearing (peristaltic action) has become constant. Since the late 1990s, I have gone for days, months, even as long as a year WITHOUT using Manerix only to find that the requirement returns. In addition, as time has progressed, the size of the dosage has also increased, since 2020, from 1 tablet twice daily to 3, or even 4 tablets once daily (2024). Finding a doctor who will prescribe Manerix, even after I show them a decade long string of prescription labels .. has sometimes proven very difficult.
By 2005, I became aware of an article relating the benefit of Serotonin (and Manerix) to the containment of fungal overgrowths including Aspergillus, thanks to Spiritual Guidance in finding it. I would much later find a connection between Aspergillus overgrowth resulting in intestinal blockage resulting in toxic, as opposed to septic, contamination of the patient's blood supply leading to their death. It was indicated that MOST deaths attributed to cancer were more directly the result of this aspergillus blockage. The patient often did have cancer, and its presence likely stimulated the overgrowth of Aspergillus fungus leading to the blockage, toxicity, and death. In my over 20 years of coping with an Aspergillus blocked intestine on a Daily basis, I have NEVER experienced belly pain from its presence. This has been suggested as a Reality with the "quiet" death of some other persons when the person had not contacted a doctor or gone to a hospital and died in their bed. The medical examiner later found that the person had a massive blockage in their intestine and little else of medical relevancy.
When I have required Manerix, and I checked daily for whether it would be necessary and at what dosage, it has opened up my intestines to enable an intestinal flush out in as little as 20 minutes after taking it to as long as a required 4 hours (rare). A person may have anywhere from 1 to 8 sphincter-valves throughout their intestines. I have 4, which is the more common. Only a few have been given medical names including the Ileocecal valve. Aspergillus fungi is a normal part of the intestinal biome but it does often become overgrown when the body begins to indicate a depression of intestinal activity (loss of peristalsis) .. suggesting imminent death. It then cements the sphincter-valves closed and movement of content stops. The perhaps obvious symptoms of intestinal generated blood toxicity is a gradual increasing of brain fog, fatigue, and vision complications. You are NOT sleepy; you are dying!
In mid-2016, the sudden introduction of a 30 pound mass into my belly clearly added an obstruction to my intestines.
Later in 2016, I accessed the video of the autopsy of Donald Finch conducted by Dr. Jan Garavaglia, see above. It was evident that he had died from the effects of intestinal restriction and fecal impaction. Dr. G. was able to rule out many major possibilities but had to rest on a possible explanation of acute depression and lack of exercise. This conclusion was purely an educated guess as it would also have included acute abdominal PAIN which would have sent Finch to a doctor or hospital. Not considered at that time was the now (2024) recognized likelihood of an Aspergillus overgrowth in which it cemented closed one or more sphincter-valves preventing the stool from moving through the intestines. Unless you were specifically looking for such a cause it would not be noticed. A small costing over the valve could close it, and particularly did after 2020 for me.
After requesting assistance from a number of physicians, and even an Emergency Department over many years to determine what this obstruction was and to treat it or surgically remove it, I finally got a minor step forward to a diagnosis when a Lethbridge specialist in 2021. Essentially, no obstruction was found INSIDE the intestines. As far as the Gastroenterologist was concerned, that ended his participation .. the technical he was trained for was completed. As with most Canadian physicians and specialist I have encountered, a DIAGNOSIS is NOT part of their skill set or motivation. For me, this outcome was a CLEAR indication that the growth-mass was therefore WITHIN the belly and OUTSIDE the intestines.
Earlier in 2021, I had been to a Respirologist for the purpose of defining why I persistently had a shortness of breath.
This was another tactic-effort to have the belly bulge diagnosed. Since it had arrived, the belly mass had pushed up my diaphragm and lungs, especially when my intestines were blocked and ready for a flush-out protocol. As the Specialist later confided in his phonecall summary, he had projected and assumed from the first seconds that he saw me, BEFORE running any tests, that my problem was Obesity. He was not considering anything else, wanted NO feedback from me, and was not addressing the test particulars which contradicted this conclusion.
I later purchased a "Body Health tool Kit" for about $25.00 which included Body Fat Charts for both genders, a Body Fat Caliper, and a circular BMI Calculator. According to it, I had a body fat REALITY of LESS than normal. According to it, I was starving. As I have been on a 1000 calorie diet since then or before, that may not be unreasonable. It also defines that high tech, costly, and time consuming apparatus can sometimes be bettered by direct, simpler, non-mechanical and non-electronic tools that can be operated and provide answers in a few minutes. That is, if the practitioner is humble enough to consider ALL possibilities and not focus on how much they can justify their big bucks income, while making their continued involvement minimal by guessing, projecting, and assuming what they want the outcome to be.
In early 2020, my then recent family physician moved afar and the replacement doctor at the clinic became an immigrant physician who proved to be either paranoid about the Health Services procedures and policies, or ignorant of them .. in addition to ignoring the feedback, concerns, and long-term medical history of a patient. I had almost run out of my Manerix and naively contacted him and noted that the Manerix I then required on a survival basis to enable completion of my intestinal flushes, and, that I had been successfully using Manerix over a duration of more than 20 years, prescribed by as many as 6 different doctors. I gave him copies of the prescription labels. He REFUSED to provide a prescription and mandated that I see a medical Specialist for authorization. He did NOT tell me who the specialist was and I expected that, on the urgent basis I had confided to him 3 times in this one appointment, that the referral would be acted on QUICKLY.
After a few days and no contact from any specialist, I phoned the clinic and spoke with the manager.
She noted that this NEW-to-me physician had passed on a request to a Specialist I had seen several years earlier for a much different medical problem and who had proven to be incompetent at that time. The clinic manager went on to explain that referrals to Specialists in the province of Alberta were given one of 3 priorities. If noted as Super Urgent, the Specialist would set up an appointment in, and usually toward the end, of a 3 MONTH duration. If given a priority of Important, the duration delayed rose to at least 6 months. And, if no priority was noted, the appointment delay duration rose to 12 MONTHS. Mine had not had a priority noted. As 2 days without Manerix at that time could mean my DEATH, and as my supply was waning, I chose to contact an earlier physician who had prescribed the Manerix but was at a distance and much more difficult and costly for me to go to (which was a major reason for my earlier change to a much closer physician). I received an appointment with him within 2 DAYS and on revisiting him, he authorized a prescription immediately and it was filled and delivered within another 24 HOURS!
But that is not the end of the complications which I and others may and have experienced in getting ACCESS to a Very Necessary prescription drug. When I began using Manerix, in the late 1990s, I experienced many Side Effects .. including a severe headache, nausea, dry mouth, and vision difficulties for about the first 2 weeks. As I researched Manerix intensively, I discovered that the drug was grown inside genetically altered rodents. It was known that these mice were susceptible to one or more viruses. Fundamentally, the Side Effects were the patient acquiring the virus unable to be removed from the formula, and it taking several weeks to recover from it. About 4 years later, Manerix was newly manufactured by another company, eventually subsidized by the medical system for the elderly, which I was by then .. and so I was forced to switch. It did not introduce side effects.
In early 2023, the manufacture of Manerix was drastically altered again.
A Bioengineered PLANT grown in toxic soil now was the source and it had been replaced as the sanctioned source by the Alberta Health Services (AHS). I quickly found that the new (Green) form of Manerix was toxic and had a new series of drastic Side Effects emanating from a heavy metal contamination which would, as the Status Quo procedures had demonstrated in the past .. take a decade before they recognized the problem. To avoid these side effects, I requested the earlier form of Manerix from my pharmacist. It was no longer financially assisted by the AHS, so the price for me increased 300%.

I was getting tired of daily living on the edge of death because of several significant MEDICAL problems that I had indications from Chinese and British sources could have been directly, simply, and quickly diagnosed earlier and permanently and quickly remedied by surgery. I again, this time with a new-to-me physician who proved by her actions and ability to listen and sympathize that she had a professional integrity that I had seldom encounter. She had, as the AHS policies dictated, sent me to the local specialists regarding my belly and lung problems. I now revisited my long-term scalp problem and went to a Dermatologist. I expressed my concerns and showed the evidence in photos, research, and presence. The dermatologist minimized my feedback, jumped to his academic training which had given her a small world prescribing perspective, and offered me several medications. I had referenced yet again that by my tests in using known anti-fungal and anti-bacterial cremes .. none had been a benefit. So, she reacted and prescribed Lyderm which she perceived to be a STRONGER drug creme. A second option was a creme that cost $80 per tube and offered significant side effects.
I got the Lyderm.
A policy I had encountered many times before with multiple provincial health services ministries is the procedure of mandating following a string of prescription drugs, technical tests, or other throw-against-the-wall dynamics. The institutional and academic and political rationale, none of which are relevant or realistic except to the physician who is ignorant or unfamiliar with diagnostic strategy, was to begin with the CHEAPEST, and simplest and move up the scale to the expensive and complicated. As I worked in a profession, Very Successfully, for a decade that depended upon Efficient and Effective Accurate Diagnostics I knew that if symptoms highly correlated with likely sources of failure, you tested for those FIRST. Remedy done fast and inexpensively. The MEDICAL institutional way, for a significant illness with unique characteristics was to run through all of the options from cheapest to expensive, adding up multiples of unnecessary costs, to eventually reach where an EXPERIENCED professional would have gone first. A few, usually significant medical problems are BEST diagnosed with an MRI or a High Resolution Scan .. which are the most expensive options. Going through a long list of drugs or technologies takes a LONG scheduling time, risks the patient becoming MORE sick or dying from the side effects of a useless-to-them drug, or, eventually getting a misdiagnosis (30 to 50% of the time in Canada) which leaves them MORE sick, and without Hope. Nevertheless, that is the system physicians follow, leave the province, leave Canada, or leave medicine.
Application dosages for Lyderm are to apply it SPARINGLY to the affected area.
A complete scalp area is NOT minimal. So, I applied a few drops to a SMALL are in the middle of my scalp.
No noticeable influence happened. Perhaps it takes time as opposed to quantity which would be more risky.
A second day and I applies a few drops to the same small patch. I was standing in front of my bathroom vanity sink.
Within 7 SECONDS I blacked out. After about 10 minutes I came to slumped on the floor. My bathroom is relatively small.
Behind me I had a metal wastebasket raised on a plastic pail, resting against the wall.
Falling back and down, the middle of my back had struck the metal pail and driven it with enough force to knock the paint off the wall. I had scraped the skin off the middle of my back, over my spine. I could neither reach the area or see it but I could tell that it was not bleeding and I had no new obvious spinal problems so I did not go to the hospital. It would later concern me that this skin injury never seemed to fully heal after many months. I NEVER have used the Lyderm since. I had not blacked out previously for at least 10 years, and have not since, to 2024.
The above are a FEW Personal experiences.
There are dozens, perhaps hundreds or more others who have had similar experiences and/or know others likewise.
These often end in premature and unnecessary deaths, persistent and non-taxpaying disabilities, excessive and amplified medical costs, and hopelessness driven suicides motivated by political attitudes, institutional irrelevancy,and provincial medical system policies. My examples may enable you to avoid, cope with, or chose alternatives outside of Canada for the purpose of possible RECOVERY. Nothing has changed here in over 60 years with these policies except for them to be made more complicated and more depressing to patients and sincere healthcare workers.

This is of a Personal Experience.
It happened with a drug that I had been SAFELY taking for 25 years.
If you live in the province of Alberta, or likely any of most other provinces, it can happen to YOU.
My HISTORY demonstrates that pharmacists and physicians prescribe without ANY appreciation of how the drugs they are prescribing are grown-made. For the most part, if they are part of the medical bureaucracy then they are either naivete and ignorant, or, have learned to just FUNCTION in their jobs. They follow orders and directions and standards set forth by other people (bureaucrats). Those people often have NO familiarity either with HOW the drugs are made or Tested .. just with the monographs released by the pharmaceutical manufacturer or supplier, and, any dramatic, overblown media reports of misuse .. and ASSUMED to be accurate, correct, complete. IF that were the Truth, as many as 30,000 Canadian patients would not be DYING annually as a result of taking the WRONG drug, taking, an OVERDOSE by accident, or, taking a drug in CONFLICT with the foods they eat, the activities they engage in, or the other DRUGS they have been prescribed.
I took a drug for most of 25 years because it CONSISTENTLY provided a Benefit to my health.
My intestines were plugging up and my intestinal peristalsis was NOT working such that if I did not effect DAILY intestinal flush-outs (extended enemas) my biology would become TOXIC from unreleased excrement, and I would very silently and deceptively lose my ability to think, act, or stay alive. There was NEVER any Pain to indicate that a bowel movement would be timely. Even when preparing for a colonoscopy, I could, and did, take TWO doses of adult drug prescribed intestinal purge .. with NO Effect. They had to be followed up by my flush-out Protocol. ANY medical tests made in an effort to find a diagnosis resulted in my being informed by the medical Specialists .. that my system was NORMAL. There were even suggestions, at times, by doctors unwilling, unable, or unsupported adequately by the Provincial Medical Service .. that maybe the problem was psychological. If it were psychological, why would a DRUG work to assist, in MINUTES.
How did I HELP Myself when doctors told me I was going to Die!
First, I became so fatigued, weak, and brain fogged that I could not work and could barely look after myself.
In addition, I had such strong and sudden and persistent muscle aches, stiffness, and headaches that I could not continue with work I liked for an organization I respected. There were times when I might go to a coffee shop or elsewhere and perceive myself moving in SLOW motion, as if half paralyzed. A psychiatrist, after a 10 minute appointment, prescribed a drug, new to him, Manerix - moclobemide, for me with the caution that it would likely take 3 WEEKS before I noticed any change. It worked in 3 HOURS! I began going to the bathroom, passing stool, and, fluffy white plugs which I learned were aspergillus fungus overgrowths which had formed over my intestinal sphincters-valves. Humans have anywhere from 1 to 8 of these with the Ileocecal Valve being one of the few that has been given a name. Typically, when enough back pressure forms behind them to signal that ENOUGH digestion has taken place .. they open and pass the forming stool along towards the anus-exit. A "friendly" form of closure can be interpreted as constipation. This INTENSE formation was more like a concrete blockage. The psychiatrist had NO interest in HOW I had found the drug to work and I had to encourage him to keep represcribing the drug as his only interest was in terminating it when I could work again.
The Manerix, together with the flush-out protocols, enabled me to regain access to energy, activity, vision, clear-headedness, and access to work and an income. It would take months of reflection, experimentation, research, and the use of Spiritual Guidance (our God's advice by way of Reverent Asking and Listening Prayer) to gain a fuller understanding or my Medical REALITY. I had HIGH levels of Mercury (from aged dental amalgams) and Lead, heavy metal toxins. These had weakened my immune system to allow for a normally safe, low presence of aspergillus fungus to be spurred into Overgrowth and valve coverage and closure. I would not find the Medical Research report for perhaps another 3 years which defined that Manerix had been found as one of the few drugs that would DIRECTLY minimize the presence of aspergillus fungus. I worked out that taking the Manerix, and, doing an intestinal flushout, DAILY, would keep me able to work 12-hour days, 7-days-a-week, helping others and myself. The immune challenge varied along with my environment, number and toxicity of outgasing dental amalgams, food selections, lifestyle, and parasite exposures and this made my overall health more conflicted at times.
Over the next dozen years the formulation of the Manerix would be GREATLY modified a number of times and yield markedly different, yet consistent symptoms. I would also often be able to determine what modification in the production dynamic had changed. What began as being grown within genetically modified mice eventually became being formulated from plants grown in soil laced with heavy metal effluent. ACCESS to Manerix was almost interrupted or terminated several times when a physician new-to-me, because of a residence move or a physician relocation, failed to respect the REALITY that previous physicians had prescribed it for me for over 10- or 20-years and it had been taken safely and with benefit as I was still Alive. Returning to a previous physician, at a greatly increased distance and prescription cost sometimes proved necessary. Physicians new to Alberta Health Services were not always adequately informed of the institutional policies and were seldom advised to listen to and at least sometimes Respect the feedback of patients .. especially when they seemed to have done some research and been on a schedule for some years.
In late 2022, a physician new to the province of Alberta who had taken the position of a previous physician who had moved to another city, feigned that he listed to me request a prescription refill with some urgency 3 times over 2 appointments. I mentioned abut my taking the Manerix for over 20 years and offered to show him prescription labels from the previous 6 years signed off by various physicians. He refused to prescribe the drug and referred me to an specialist. He did NOT inform me of which specialist nor give me any timeframe. As I had mentioned that the drug was a Life Saving benefit, and he had indicated acknowledgement, I expected a quick development. Days passed without any call from the office of the specialist, so, I contacted the clinic reception. I was then informed that my new doctor had referred me to an INTESTINAL specialist, that I had seen before, and that I knew from HIS comments and my experience with him that he would have NO Interest in the drug and NO inclination to review any MEDICAL research ... even though I had already done the searching, selection, and copying for him. I also learned, from HIS receptionist, that my new physician had forwarded a GENERAL appointment request to him. She explained that appointment requests were of 3 Grades: General, Concerned, and Urgent. My "General" one might not be filled for 12 MONTHS. A Concerned request might not be filled for 6 MONTHS. An Urgent request often took 3 MONTHS to yield contact. I now needed a drug refill in 3 DAYS! I called a previous physician. I had the prescription within 24 HOURS.
In non-general, and non-usual MEDICAL problem situations, it you do not ADVOCATE for yourself you are inviting premature DEATH, because in my experience, most physicians in many Canadian provinces are rewarded for just going through the motions and dismissed or ridiculed for actually CARING about ANY patient. It is YOUR Life!

If you have been taking a drug for DECADES and are familiar with the updates and reformulations made to it, do you continue to take it when you IMMEDIATELY experience a Life Threatening symptom from the first tablets of a NEW refill? I had taken the specific reformulation of the Manerix for at least 6 earlier refills with no other side effects except a dry mouth and dry eyes. Within an hour of taking the first dose of this refill I had a SEVERE HEADACHE. I rarely get headaches for any reason and can usually avert them within several hours. Over the decades I have found myself resistant to any and all pain medications excepting HYDROMORPHONE HCL, which I received twice in a hospital environment, as of no benefit for any level of pain.
This severe pain was constant, worse than migraines, which I had experienced during a year decades previously, and did not seem to be triggered by anything .. such as bright light, sounds, temperature extremes, foods. It was identical, and as noted there was nothing else like it, to the INITIAL symptom I received when I had taken the earliest, to me, formulation of Manerix .. which ended in 2015. I had discovered much earlier from MEDICAL research findings, since removed from the Internet, that the symptoms were the result of a VIRUS endemic to the genetically modified mice from which the drug was made. It took 2 or 3 days for my, and likely the immune system of others, to suppress the virus. After that, as long as one continued to regularly take the drug, the virus and the symptom did not reactivate. Still, it meant that in THAT formulation of Manerix, the virus would likely ALWAYS be present in the pills.
If the formulation of Manerix I had received had somehow been exchanged for a much OLDER form, I would suppose that an ERROR had been made in filling it from production or warehouse stock. Why would I want to take an old and corrupt form of the drug when I had been taking a much safer form with minor side effects? I contacted my pharmacist who had filled the prescription and requested that he contact the supplier and query if such an error had been made. Seemed to me like a SIMPLE, direct action with a response within hours. No, I was to be surprised and educated about the true nature of pharmacy in the province of Alberta, and likely applicable to most other provinces.
First, the pharmacist was completely committed to the FANTASY that all drugs are perfectly made by perfect laboratory technicians. It became quickly evident that he was unaware of and wanted no information about how many drugs result from the production growth of MILLIONS of mice and rats ANNUALLY, and that in some situations the often bioengineered animals can be endemically susceptible to viruses or other botanical irregularities which are considered not dangerous to humans. NO, his first jump was to suggest that a heart attack or stroke might have caused the headache because his mother had experienced a headache before a heart attack. I reminded him that THIS headache had been DISABLING for more than TWO DAYS continuously .. and I was still alive. Not many people, that I have encountered in medical literature have a heart attack or stroke for 2 days continuously, and survive.
Nevertheless, he would not contact the supplier unless he had the LOT number from the prescription box. I checked the box and reported that here was no Lot number anywhere on the box. He did not seem to believe this possible and ended the call to get back to his filling duties. It seems that pharmacists are only responsible for reading the prescription correctly, marrying it with a supply, counting out the pills, bottling or boxing them, labeling them, invoicing them, and arranging delivery. Providing any cautions about the use of the drug, or, having any concerns about possible product errors ... not their job. A few minutes off the phone and with further looking, I found the LOT number on the metallized pill encapsulation strip inside the box. A quick re-examination of many previous pill container an invoicing labels revealed the LOT numbers were nowhere on any of them. It seemed pointless to expect anything further from the pharmacist.
With a little investigation it became clear that the manufacturing company was located in the province of Quebec.
Some years earlier they had delegated the distribution and marketing of this drug to another company located in the province of Ontario. So now the dynamic of finding IF an error had been made stretched across 3 provinces. Some years earlier I had worked in Private Security, taken many training courses in expectation of a longer career, and received, unusual to the industry at the time, a number of Letters of Commendation from both Provincial Security Services, and, Intercon Security Limited, and even, The McMichael Canadian Art Gallery. At one time I had been responsible for maintaining the isolated security for a manufacturing plant that combined chemicals into market consumer goods. The company had been bankrupted by the President who took all the funds and left the country one Friday evening. When the reality was discovered, the legal agents arrived, vacated the premises of ALL employees .. with some leaving keys and other personal items on their desks. In my rounds I discovered Material Data Sheets for the base items which were highly specific about cautions and characteristics of the items. I suspected that drug production might have similar reports together with the stock records and security forms I had seen elsewhere.
I contacted the Customer Service Department of the drug distribution company and they forwarded me and my data on to their Drug Safety Department. I was contacted by their Drug Information Department .. with whom I shared all the symptoms, DIN number formulation history, drug names, and history. They contacted me back in several days to again request the DIN number of the batch, then the LOT number, then the fact that Manerix and Moclobemide were the same drug by different industry names. For a drug I was supposed to be taking DAILY, for Life Saving reasons ... this SIMPLE query was extending into WEEKS. With security and inventory records in place, accurately maintained, and accessible to customer service personnel, a solution could have been effected with a few days. Nothing seemed to be happening so I alerted the Minister of Health for Alberta, and the office of the Premier. Don't look for action in those places.
Evidently, ACTIONS indicated that either the persons I had contacted knew NOTHING about production, warehousing, and shipping protocols, or, that legitimate records were either absent, poorly maintained, or inaccurate and tainted. That opened the door to someone possibly STEALING recent formulation drugs and replacing and filling drug requests with much OLDER (archived) ones. Someone might be making high sums on the black market while endangering the health of patients. But WHO to contact? City police would only have local jurisdiction. R.C.M.P., from historical and media references in the media seemed to have cross Canada interprovincial jurisdiction. I contacted the R.C.M.P. only to discover that its jurisdictions are split up into a multitude of SMALL detachment areas which seem not to communicate between themselves. No one I found at the R.C.M.P. was aware of ANY national or interprovincial law Enforcement organization in Canada. Contacting C.S.I.S. in an attempt to flush out a possible relevant Enforcement organization met with the statement that they only COLLECTED information, enforced nothing, and knew of nobody beyond themselves.
If you want to run a cross-Canada black market drug enterprise with the security that no one will look into your ILLEGAL operations and there will be little harm of enforcement in a decade ... Canada is your Market!

Aspergillus fungus is both a normal intestinal microbial community participant, and, an invasive, over populous internal life threat. Ignored from USA and Canadian biological research for decades because other targets attracted the drama and attention, and, funding ... it has become recognized for what it can be over the rest of the world since 2019. It is now (2024) considered to affect a BILLION persons, dramatically. It is considered to be the deathblow deliverer in as many or more of 50% of cancer diagnoses by stopping the clearance of the intestines and killing the patient by autotoxicity as decaying stool permeates the bloodstream and toxifies all organs. It is also considered by some to have effected the death outcome in 50% or more of COVID-19 challenges. Provide it with an immune weakening singular or multiple attack, and it will be into overgrowth in a flash. Until recently almost nothing was known to work to limit it.
With overpopulation and its resultant urbanization, a dependency on agricultural monocropping and processed foods continues to grow in dominance. Scientifically revealed in more recent years, aspergillus is present in many supplies of grains and industrially grown crops .. making most processed foods potential dietary contributors to the human biome. If it is not fresh and/or cooked .. it is a potential health limiter. These findings derive from research intensively carried out in China, Europe, Saudi Arabia. For many contributors, urbanized persons have a higher likelihood than rural ones of a weakened immune system. That leaves them more susceptible to acquiring an aspergillus overgrowth that can encourage, or be encouraged by, cancers, allergies, other diseases. Most physicians in the USA and Canada, and their supporting Health Services ministries and departments have taken NO notice of this danger (2024).
Manerix (Moclobemide) is a drug which was scientifically found to EFFECTIVELY attack Aspergillus variations as early as 2003. It is prescribed for Depression, often misunderstood by physicians, and especially psychiatrists and other medical specialists .. as Mental or Emotional Depression. In its role as Aspergillus controller it removes the PHYSICAL Depressiveness which evolves from the fungal strangulation of organ functions through autotoxicity. Take incorrectly for Emotional Depression .. which may be an offshoot of PHYSICAL Depression, it can become excessive and fatal. When I was experiencing Severe Heavy Metal poisoning my organs (intestines, brain, liver, immune system, etc. ) were working so slowly that I was heading for a coma or death state. Getting the heavy metals detoxed was a primary necessity when it was discovered and confirmed (NOT done my Canadian MEDICAL or DENTAL services, yet professionally and LEGALLY countered through most of Europe since the early 1990s), but, doing this can take many YEARS and is often only accessible in stages. Staying alive in the interim requires a control of Aspergillus concentration, sometimes on a DAILY basis.
With increasing GLOBAL interest and study since 2000, there are now (2024) numerous modalities and options which may help a person sustain, retain, and improve their health balance. As always, and as I personally learned through application and prayer over the past 30 years, the class of a supplement, herbal, pharmaceutical, tincture, or other possibility .. can be applicable according to one's blood type, age, other health weaknesses and strengths, beliefs and degree of maturity, gender, and, accessibility. It might be BEST for you, yet, if you cannot get it, another option will be BETTER. Also, some options may change over time in their usefulness, safety, and quantity per dose. Other possibilities unknown to you previously or not available may become new choices.
My new research endeavors revealed that many Anti-fungal pharmaceuticals had been driven out front for use against aspergillus and other invasive fungals. ALL of them included Significant side effects and some expressed their best as a possibility of keeping you alive an additional 2 years! Herbals and tinctures were, from my perspective and prayers, a SAFER and cleaner, and often easier to access choice. I chose some of these, to be used as muscle testing - Spiritual Guidance indicated, per use, and began receiving the benefits almost immediately. If you are waiting for almost any North American health service, medical organization, or practicing physician to show an interest in THIS part of your health or that of someone you value, ensure you have your Will updated and your Death is not feared.
