The invasion of the US

While it may not seem like it, as there are no foreign troops on the ground, don’t be fooled. The US has most assuredly been invaded by a foreign entity.
It's an invasion of our psyche, and of the principles that made this country so great. It’s an attack on our trusted institutions, casting doubt on what is real and what is contrived.
The truth is being manipulated, such that fact has become fiction, and fiction becomes fact, all designed to bring to light the underlying hatred and bigotry, which has existed in the US since our inception, dividing us even further and leading us into chaos.
Even our elected officials (knowingly or not), refuse to acknowledge it, and are fomenting these seeds of bigotry and distrust meant only to destroy the United States.
How did the we let this happen? How have so many become blind to it? Have our elected officials been so corrupted by money and power they don't care? (I know our president has.) Has racism and religious intolerance driven us to the point where reason has been discarded, and we can no longer accept anything that is different? (I think we have.)
The sad fact is there is so much misinformation out there, there is no way to separate fact from fiction anymore. Everything can be doctored and manipulated to present any point of view.
I don't have any answers (well actually I have a few, but.......). What I do know, is you can't believe anything you read or hear anymore, whether it be from the right, the left, or even the [so called] mainstream media. If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's probably been doctored or manipulated somehow, and didn't really happen the way it may appear.
You may not want to call it an invasion, but whatever you may choose to call what's happening in the US today, it's a sad day for democracy in the US, and I feel sorry for the younger generation, who will have to deal with the consequences.
And like I said in a previous post, stay vigilant, and be prepared!

The green tea phenomenon

Despite being a heavy drinker of green tea since my diagnosis, mainly for its cancer prevention, and hopefully cancer curing qualities, I recently have developed a new found enthusiasm for green tea. Now whether it has been the green tea I have been drinking for the past 6+ years, my heavy exercise routine, or just pure chance that has kept my MCL stable, or at least [very] slow progressing, for the past 7+ years is certainly open to debate, but based on past research, I have chosen to believe green tea has at least helped to some degree. So what has given me this new found enthusiasm? Well, a friend of mine, and cycling buddy, was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer, and knowing my daily regimen called to ask my advice on green tea. He had already done a lot of research on the subject, so when I told him my obsession with green tea consisted principally of drinking the least expensive, decaffeinated green tea available (Trader Joe's brand of 18 tea bags for $3, and more recentl...

Alternative treatment blowback

I received some interesting criticism the other day for my stance on alternative therapies. I ......... cannot for the life of me understand why you would not use supplementation and then use an over the counter poisonous liquid which has proven liver toxicity. Especially while taking a statin. She was referring to the use of an over the counter cough medication, I have been taking to help ease the symptoms of my upper respiratory infection. I did this once and vow to never use it again! I have gotten off Lipitor by using Nicotinic Acid and getting much better results but still use COQ10 to protect Liver as you must do while taking Statins. If you are not using CoQ10, I urge you to research this issue. MCL reduces your D3 and should be taken everyday! I use 5000mgs a day. I was sorta taken aback. She was partially correct. I'm against taking supplements, but when necessary I don't have a problem taking over the counter medication, when my ailments finally get the better of me. ...

When is enough, enough?

Today I learned, Lance Armstrong, the most drug tested athlete in the history of sport, is being accused of doping, again . This time by the US Anti Doping Agency (USADA), who claim they have collected blood samples from him in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Really! What took them so long? The French have been trying to make allegations of drug doping stick for years, ever since he won his first Tour d'France, but to no avail. And now the USADA claims to have evidence to support that claim, and they've waited almost 3 years before releasing this evidence. Needless to say, I am skeptical. Then there's this from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO): Increasing the federal excise tax on cigarettes by 50 cents per pack eventually would increase Medicare and Social Security spending, slightly. Eventually? What is the CBO suggesting here? That we should encourage smoking, because if we don't, in...
