Book excerpt: This book follows Dr Hopkins in her journey from physician to healer. After spending the first 20 years of her career providing excellent diagnostic acumen, she realized that the drugs had limited longterm efficacy. As a rheumatologist, challenging patients filled her day however her scientific mind started to look at why so many people were suffering. why in a country of such wealth people were so sick. the data started supporting what she was seeing everyday. Chronically ill patients, autoimmune diseases increasing, and patients spending much of their life and resources trying to get better. in 1988, a pregnancy was complicated by severe Spina Bifida. After losing the child, she began her journey into the land of wellness without drugs. How could the medical community in 1988 not know about the importance of folic acid, a simple vitamin easily accessible. Were our foods no longer adequate sources of nutrition. Why was knowledge of any vitamin or mineral not part of the armamentarium used to bridge people to wellness. Were we just relying on a corrupted food change, watching morbid obesity in our country reach 36%, and liver disease start affecting our adolescent population with many of them having adult diseases in their teen years. Liver transplants from fatty liver, gallbladder disease and type 2 diabetes now plague our population under the age of 20. Chronic diseases that reflect our diet and life styles will be over 50% in the next decade. Like global warming, we can no longer afford to practice medicine the old way, namely, if you have a symptom, I have a drug that will cover up that symptom. We must now teach our your physicians to question WHY would anyone have these symptoms. This is my journey. In 1916, just over 100 years ago, the Flexnor report demanded the closing of most medical schools in the country. The US was facing a world war, starvation and the beginning of the flu season. Infections such has small pox, cholera, the plague, measles, influenza consumed the attention of the medical community. Scientific method was the cornerstone of learning in Paris and Germany. In order to bring our standards up to those in Europe, all naturopathic schools were closed in the USA. Simon FLexnor, MD felt that the USA should take the lead in the world for solving these problems. With the HOPKINS university, and Dr John Welsh, they established the blueprint for research of vaccines and medications. The AMA and the Rockfeller family backed the change from naturopathy to allopathy. Now a century later, we need a new paradigm to address the pandemic of chronic disease that plague people with access to food, clean water, waste management and vaccines. Why is everyone so sick. The pandemic of 2020 has highlighted the dire health of so many in the USA with obesity rates at 40% of the population and vitamin D deficiency, which I will say is a level below 50, is probably close to 90%. It is time that the educators restructure the medical school curriculum to introduce nutrition and lifestyle medicine into the curriculum. Like global warming, we can no longer wait.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOCIETY NEEDS A WAKE-UP CALL Written for all the tens of thousands of doctors who write prescriptions, the pharmaceutical companies who create these concoctions and dont warn the public of their dangers, and the pharmacies that fill but have the right and oath to deny those quantities. Would you give one of your family members a medication you put on the market but wasnt honest about the serious addiction it carried with it? Written also for the insurance companies that approve payment without checking the interactions and/or questioning the massive quantities. For all of you that fall into the above categories, shame on you. You dont socially, morally, or ethically understand the full ramifications that addiction brings to society and the way it tears families apart. Its repulsive to think how you get away with fueling yourselves with greed. What happened to your oath for your patients? Doctors write prescriptions like the police write tickets all for the money! The trillions of dollars these companies make out of medications that cost pennies . . . Maybe they should be responsible to pay for people who need detox or rehabs and no financial means of getting help for a problem those companies created in the first place . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None of us have insight into the challenges and experiences we will face along the path of life as we attempt to manage it and all its uncertainties that come with the package. Statistically, when uncertainties are the result of an imbalanced support system, exposure to drugs and crime, and a lack of positive male role models, the outcome is death or a long prison sentence. Alonzo Burns walks you through the highs and lows of his personal journey to escape the fast life and how he re-established himself on a path of productivity and relevance. He defies the notion that you have to be a product of your environment. Instead, he reveals how to use negative experiences as fuel to propel you into your destiny. Hold tight and prepare yourself for a "behind the scenes" look into his raw and uncut journey. "When I first encountered the street life, it was through observation. I was fascinated with the drug dealers' popularity, respect from the hood, the material things that followed, and all the females that threw themselves at the feet of them. As a young kid that was seeking and searching for a male role model, it was easy to get sucked into this type of lifestyle and that is exactly what happened." - From the Chapter: Street Life Expired Alonzo Burns is an ex-drug dealer who went from the street corner to Corporate America. He has years of experience as an IT technologist in Corporate America and is an entrepreneur that operates a real-estate investment company as well. His passion and focus are sharing his life experiences to the hopeless and forgotten to provide encouragement to fulfill dreams and aspirations.

Download or read book No Way Out written by Waverly Duck and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005 Waverly Duck was called to a town he calls Bristol Hill to serve as an expert witness in the sentencing of drug dealer Jonathan Wilson. Convicted as an accessory to the murder of a federal witness and that of a fellow drug dealer, Jonathan faced the death penalty, and Duck was there to provide evidence that the environment in which Jonathan had grown up mitigated the seriousness of his alleged crimes. Duck’s exploration led him to Jonathan’s church, his elementary, middle, and high schools, the juvenile facility where he had previously been incarcerated, his family and friends, other drug dealers, and residents who knew him or knew of him. After extensive ethnographic observations, Duck found himself seriously troubled and uncertain: Are Jonathan and others like him a danger to society? Or is it the converse—is society a danger to them? Duck’s short stay in Bristol Hill quickly transformed into a long-term study—one that forms the core of No Way Out. This landmark book challenges the common misconception of urban ghettoes as chaotic places where drug dealing, street crime, and random violence make daily life dangerous for their residents. Through close observations of daily life in these neighborhoods, Duck shows how the prevailing social order ensures that residents can go about their lives in relative safety, despite the risks that are embedded in living amid the drug trade. In a neighborhood plagued by failing schools, chronic unemployment, punitive law enforcement, and high rates of incarceration, residents are knit together by long-term ties of kinship and friendship, and they base their actions on a profound sense of community fairness and accountability. Duck presents powerful case studies of individuals whose difficulties flow not from their values, or a lack thereof, but rather from the multiple obstacles they encounter on a daily basis. No Way Out explores how ordinary people make sense of their lives within severe constraints and how they choose among unrewarding prospects, rather than freely acting upon their own values. What emerges is an important and revelatory new perspective on the culture of the urban poor.

Download or read book Closet Full of Coke written by Indra Sena and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-05-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Glimpse Inside a Hidden World Narrated by the teenage girl who lived it, Closet Full of Coke tells the true story of how a New York suburban fifteen-year-old girl's savvy and wit helps turn the small-time drug business of Armando, a Colombian drug dealer, into a multi-million-dollar cocaine operation that puts them on the DEA's Wanted List. This intimate diary gives readers a fast-paced glimpse of the couple's speedy rise to riches, and their inevitable descent. These wannabe drug lords of the 1980s New York-to-Florida drug scene end their story only three years later with an untimely death, betrayal, and revenge. Here is a true account of drug dealers whose obsession with money, power, sex, and glamor drives them to a lifestyle of deceit and recklessness, ending in tragedies that destroy lives forever. This is no ordinary memoir; this is Memoir Noir From the Author: I wanted the foolish girl I once was to tell her story without interruption. The result is a diary written like a novel. There is no reflection or analysis. There is a salacious story full of colorful characters and dialog, told by the teenager who lived it. Drug dealers have an interesting ethos unknown to outsiders. They live by elaborate rules and codes, and use intricate methodology to conduct business. They are far more organized than people imagine, and they see themselves as business people and entrepreneurs. Serious dealers who want success don't use drugs and they deal to other dealers, not to users. I compare my book to Film Noir. According to filmsite.org, "the primary moods of classic film noir" include "melancholy, alienation, disillusionment, disenchantment, moral corruption, evil, guilt, desperation, and paranoia." These moods are prominent in my book. Readers have called it "haunting," "a car wreck you can't look away from," "a roller coaster ride," and "Alice in Wonderland meets Scarface." So if you like the edge of your seat, hold on tight and listen to my story. FREE Read the first eight chapters for free on the Closet Full of Coke website!

Download or read book Defeating the Odds The Journey of a Convicted Baltimore Drug Dealer written by Sean Matthews and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sean grew up impoverished in Baltimore's housing projects where he witnessed unspoken violence, murder, open-market drug dealing, and apathy. While he was able to evade the attractions of his immediate environment by studying and using school as a means of escape, it was inevitable that he and countless others ultimately became a product of the environment. At the age of 16, Sean begins his stint as a drug dealer and when his life began taking on an identity of its own. He was given the nickname "Slimmy" and school was no longer an option. Teaming up with Bodie, the notorious drug kingpin from "The Wire," Sean found himself knee-deep in the drug game and aligned with some of the city's premier gangsters. By the time he was 17, Sean had been arrested twice and shot in the stomach where he faced certain death. Just before his 18th birthday, he would be arrested for the third and final time as part of a larger city initiative to round up known drug dealers including Bodie, Ronnie Moe, and Vitto, my "rap buddies." Sean was handed a ten-year sentence and would not see the streets again until he was 21. Upon his release, Sean understood that prison wasn't where he wanted to spend his life. He clearly understood that he had been given a second chance at life and he was going to take advantage of the opportunity. Armed with just a prison-earned G.E.D Sean would spend his next two decades proving to the sentencing judge, society and himself that one is not and should not be limited by his/her past. Sean just didn't defeat the odds, he actually denied the odds. He would go onto land employment with corporate firms as a web technology leader and often supervising small teams where he was the only minority and the only non-degree holder. While at Lockheed Martin, Sean received a number of performance awards including The President's Award. He later joined a marketing firm where he spearheaded the development of the web department that he ultimately grew into a 2 million-dollar business. This book will modify your thinking and perceptions of ex-cons, and what can be achieved when given the opportunity to do so. Though the odds were stacked up against him, Sean's commitment, drive and family support allowed him to overcome the stereotypical persona of an ex-con and achieve what many may see as unthinkable. Based on statistics, Sean should be dead or incarcerated with a hefty sentence but either was an option for him but defeating the odds was!
