POPSUntil Medical Bills Do Us Part A complicating factor was that this was a second marriage. M.’s first husband had died, leaving an inheritance that he had intended for their children. She and her second husband had a prenuptial agreement, but that would not protect her assets from his medical expenses. The hospital told M. not to waste time in dissolving the marriage. For five years after any divorce, her assets could be seized — precisely because the government knows that people sometimes divorce husbands or wives to escape their medical bills. “How could I divorce him? I loved him,” she told me.

POPSDr. Andrew Moulden (Interview): What You Were Never Told About Vaccines
" 7.) You speak of epidemics. What is your understanding of an epidemic? How does it manifest? The explanation of epidemic is simple, we are now seeing: 1 in 6 children with specific learning disabilities. 12-15% children with attention deficit disorder. 1 in 87 with autism spectrum – a 1700% increase over ten years. 1% sudden infant death 40 deaths and 15,000 substantive adverse Gardasil reactions 1 in 15 over 65 with dementia; 1 in 8 over 85 Chronic fatigue syndrome Fibromyalgia Seizure disorders “West” syndrome Global developmental delay 1 in 450 with type 1 diabetes 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer over a lifetime. Gulf war syndrome affecting and disabling 250,000 troops and 42,000 deaths. These vaccinated soldiers show the exact same neurological damages after vaccination as the infants and children are exhibiting after each childhood vaccination. These are strokes – oxygen demand exceeding oxygen supply – conclusively! This is just the tip of

POPSCan trauma cause dementia?
She said: 'They had suffered extreme stress, losing their homes, and having their lives threatened, sometimes by people who were once their neighbours. 'The ones who had the worst symptoms (of dementia) now were those who had suffered most at the time. 'These people needed help when they were ten or 20, not when they were 65.' Dr Ritchie continued: 'Although research has not been carried out on Second World War veterans it is fair to assume that a lot of the dementia we have here in that age group is a result of the war. 'There are people around the world still suffering the trauma of war and other disasters and they too could be part of future generations of dementia. 'We in the post-war generation are lucky to have escaped that kind of large-scale trauma, but it does raise the question of how we would cope if we were faced now with that kind of situation.' She added: 'We are all a bit like Russian dolls. It may be the child inside us that carries the risk factor.'

POPSReal-Life Fountain of Youth is Only a Matter of Time I have actually been considering this question for a while. I have no doubt that we will work out how to naturally extend our lives "qualitatively rather than quantitatively". So I realize there has to be other changes in the way we approach life and death that need to change. Tis, for me certainly a fascinating wondering and exploration. "...the question is not when, but how it will be done and (most importantly) whether incredible longevity medicines and technologies will have a net benefit to the world or create more problems than they are worth." webecoist

POPS “We The People” Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is the “Special Advisor for Health Policy” for your administration. Emanuel wants doctors to look beyond individual human needs and consider “social justice.” Within his twisted mindset, it’s perfectly humane to suggest that doctors center their focus on hard, cold calculations that place more value on bureaucratically-defined budgets than people. The money could be better spent elsewhere, they are told. " View YouTube Presumptuously, Dr. Emanuel believes that communitarianism is above reproach. It should guide decisions on who gets care. Such detached opinions lead him to say that medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens. For example, he would not provide health services to patients with dementia and other serious mental challenges. Excerpts from The American Thinker: “Manufactured Healthcare Crisis,” by Jim Simpson "

POPSHealthy Living - The Health Benefits of Seafood "Not all fats are to be feared. Scientific research consistently suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids found in some fish and seafood – including salmon, lake trout, mackerel, and albacore tuna – provide tremendous health benefits, from reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia, to boosting mood and brain development in young children."

POPSSense of identity What researchers are finding is that there is no single “identity spot” in the brain. Instead, the brain uses several different neural regions, working closely together, to sustain and update the identities of self and others. Learning what makes identity, researchers say, will help doctors understand how some people preserve their identities in the face of creeping dementia, and how others are sometimes able to reconstitute one.

POPSMore Healthcare Sickness!
1996 Hastings Center article in which Emanuel wrote this: This civic republican or deliberative democratic conception of the good provides both procedural and substantive insights for developing a just alloca- tion of health care resources. Procedurally, it suggests the need for public forums to deliberate about which health services should be considered basic and should be socially guaranteed. Substantively, it suggests services that promote the continuation of the polity-those that ensure healthy future genera- tions, ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations-are to be socially guaranteed as basic. Conversely, services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia. A less obvious example Is is guaranteeing neuropsychologi
