“Your health is the only wealth that you can control. And because you don't see the bad effects of mistreating your health is the reason why you take it for granted.”
“For books are more than books, they are the life
The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”
“As much as you love comparing wealth, compare your health too. Challenge them for a healthier lifestyle and grow better together.”

“Quicker than I ever hoped, I land at the other side of my illness: slightly battle-scarred, slightly hungrier, and a little wiser. I have flaws. I live with restrictions. I have to change.

to speak about
health care in America
taking care of people’s

not obviously known
that true health care
must mean, at minimum,
deliberate non-harming
of anyone?”

“A device can be considered FDA-cleared if the manufacturer and the FDA agree that it is very similar to another device already on the market and is deemed safe to use. Becoming FDA-approved is a more rigorous process, used for devices for which there aren’t other, similar approved models on the market. What makes it even more confusing is that some devices may be FDA-cleared for one indication but used and marketed by physicians for a completely different indication. For example, some devices may be FDA-cleared for pain reduction, yet plastic surgeons use them to reduce fat.”

“Either way, whether your anxiety is self-generated or externally-generated or both, your brain still needs to sound the alarm – and thank goodness it does! It’s essentially telling you: ‘Warning, something is sabotaging or might sabotage your goals, health, happiness and survival – find it, fix it!’ to which your mental response should be, ‘Gee, thanks, I’m on it!”
