Tort Reform

© MMXIII V.1.0.0
by Morley Evans

Evans Consulting Services, has questioned the ability of Americans to find justice. In the U.S. legal system, lawyers can only rely on epidemiology when suing pharmaceutical companies and doctors who prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. The tort reform movement over the last 15 years has limited the ability of lawyers to use any scientific or medical evidence in court that is not backed up with published epidemiology with a relative risk of more than 2. This all started with the Daubert Opinion and many federal judges have limited this type of evidence even more. Given the general opinion in the medical community that statins are beneficial, the bar is very high, both before a jury and the judge, to prove the harmful side effects of statins that are not warned of in the product labels. Pharmaceutical companies "warn" people about "side effects" while their primary sales agents, doctors, council their patients to ignore these warnings.

According to Ernest N. Curtis, MD, in The Cholesterol Delusion, epidemiology uses evidence of dubious value: Studies purporting to link disease to diet use death certificates for mortality along with diets supposedly eaten for decades by thousands and even by millions. Death certificates are legal documents used to wrap up the deceased affairs. In the English-speaking world "heart attack" is most often entered as the cause of death. In France, something else is entered. Hence, many fewer people die of heart attack in France than in the United States. One the other side of these studies, it is suggested that there is an "American diet" which 300,000,000 Americans eat or a "Chinese diet" which a billion Chinese eat. Epidemiological studies based upon such data are ridiculous on their face. Can anyone remember what he ate last year? Did anyone accurately record it? Yet the courts have chosen to limit what they will hear to "published epidemiology" and have chosen to ignore mountains of scientific evidence that contradicts what pharmaceutical companies claim.

"You don't have to be sick!" My 200 pound Deadlift. Yowsa! I was already the "most improved" at the gym, after having been in a coma in 2000. I have now officially left the ranks of the weak and sick. What I eat and what I don't eat may have something to do with this. I think it does, whatever some might say. I take no drugs and see no doctors. Let's see how I am 12 months from now. Will I be squatting 220 pounds in September on my 66th birthday? I probably will. The total weight I lifted today was 6135 pounds.

Canadian Medicine

Dear Tanya,

Here is a short list that you could consider:

1. as I previously noted, CMPA stands for Canadian Medical Protective Association (It protects doctors.)
2. the CMPA is not an insurance company
3. the CMPA was created by the CMA, the Canadian Medical Association, in 1901
4. the CMA was established in Montréal by a few doctors several months after Confederation in 1867. They wanted to ensure that doctors were paid.
5. the CMA has always been concerned with money and power — not health or quality.
6. both associations operate from the premise that doctors never make mistakes and that God or patients are always to blame for problems.
7. every patient who tries to sue a doctor is merely trying to get something she or he is not entitled to having, according to the CMA and the CMPA
8. an unhappy patient (or his or her family) who tries to sue is greedy
9. doctors must belong to the CMA and the CMPA or they cannot practice medicine in Canada. They enjoy a monopoly.
10. the CMPA does not appear in court records as being involved in the defence of doctors, it pays the lawyers whose names do appear as representing the defendants
11. the CMPA sometimes "settles out of court" with patients it decides might have a legitimate case against a doctor
12. all settlements come with a gag order to protect the guilty
13. doctors put their own interests and those of fellow doctors ahead of everyone else — patients and their families come last
14. doctors and their organizations are protected by lawyers and judges, legislatures, the media and most importantly — by public opinion
15. CMPA fees started being paid by Canadian taxpayers when doctors started grumbling about increases they had to pay
16. initiates (young doctors) and patients are unaware of the true nature of medicine
17. your doctor does not care about you — at all. The acid test is money. Ask your doctor to write a cheque to compensate you for something he did or failed to do. You will find out, pronto.

The CMA and the CMPA are criminal organizations of the first order.

It may be possible to reform Canadian medicine, but I have my doubts. Aggrieved parties can not expect to get justice in Canada. The CMA and the CMPA along with their members are above the law in Canada. What is left for Canadians? Canadians can drain the swamp. When the swamp is dry, the bad doctors that live in the swamp will disapper along with their organizations, associations, colleges, schools, lawyer buddies, legislators and journalist allies. Canadians can put them all out of business. How?

The first thing a Canadian has to understand is that medicine is not health care and if a Canadian wants to be healthy he or she must not go to the doctor. Doctors know nothing about health. One doctor even suggests that the purpose of medicine is to make people sick. Modern living makes us sick too. We must replace what modern living has removed from living: exercise and nutrition form the foundation of health.

Most people could become healthy, even if they are unwell now. Health can be rebuilt. Canada would need many fewer doctors and only the good ones would be needed. Medical costs would collapse. Health budgets would be slashed. The medical crisis in Canada would disappear. Unemployed doctors could become bricklayers, janitors and street sweepers. They could shovel snow. There is lots of snow in Canada. Some doctors might even become physically fit while digging ditches on the Chain Gang.

Healthy people don't need doctors but sick people do need doctors. They don't need doctors who cheat, lie, torture and kill them. They need doctors who help them. There are such people. If they don't keep quiet and do what they are told, good doctors are persecuted by the bad doctors who run today's medical systems. Isn't that amazing?

Here is one example: If you have cancer, go to Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski in Texas. Dr. Mercola says this. There is a growing list of good doctors who cure cancer, heart disease, diabetes and all the incurable maladies that "modern" pharmaceutical medicine cannot cure. Other doctors prevent disease; they know something about exercise, nutrition, health and wellness. Your first defense against disease is health, not drugs.

What you are doing, Tanya, is drawing attention to the problem. Canadians must understand that they cannot lie around watching hockey games and pharmaceutical ads on TV and go to the doctor when they get sick. They must actively avoid getting sick. If something does happen to them, as something did happen to Jessica, they must actively search for help, as you did yourself for Jessica. The Internet is a wonderful resource that did not exist a few years ago. If necessary, Canadians must leave the country for treatment. Go someplace where your doctor cares about you. Canadians must not listen to Canadian experts who say no. Canadians must not wait for treatment in Canada because it is "free". It is not free. Canadians must stop believing crooks and liars.

Love,

 - Morley

Lifting Safely

by Morley Evans

Okay, okay, I'm a nanny, not a he-man. But I plan to live another sixty years. I won't get there if a heavy weight at the gym falls on me. Prompted to act by Greg yesterday, I did this today.

figure 1
A super-safe Bench Press setup. A ton could fall. I would be untouched.

figure 2
The cotter keys are usually left out by other lifters. They are there for a reason, guys.

figure 3
Barbell Row setup keeps the barbell 18" off the floor which is necessary
when one is a beginner using small weights.

figure 4
A standard Bench Press setup.

figure 5
One and a half inch safety hooks don't make me feel safe. I'll never use this again.

In figure 3, in the mirror you can see Rob pressing 14 forty-five pound plates (623 pounds or 282.59 kilograms) on the Precor® leg press machine. He added to that two 25 pound plates later. In figure 4, you can see Tony's lime green Adidas shoes. None of the babes were working out today when I was there. Stay tuned for some pretty girls (photographed with their permission, of course). They keep me coming back.

Canada is a mouse that sometimes roars and always has an inflated opinion of itself. Canadians, who have always believed their lying leaders and their stooges in the media, are about to pay the price — come to think of it, Canadians are always paying the price for sleepwalking.

How Central Banking Works

by MIKE WHITNEY

“Back in 2009, our hot housing market acted as a life preserver in a sea of economic uncertainty. Now it feels more like a cinder block tied around our necks.”

– Chris Sorensen, “The Great Canadian Real Estate Crash of 2013″, Macleans

Mark Carney, BOC Governor

Canada’s housing market is in the opening phase of a historic collapse. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) sales of existing homes dropped 17.4 percent year-over-year in December, while sales in Vancouver plunged an eyewatering 31 percent in the same period. While prices have held firm so far, it’s only a matter of time before droopy demand leads to an excruciating correction. Sometime in the next 12 months, prices will follow sales down the plughole wiping out a sizable chunk of the equity people were counting on to feather their retirement nesteggs. Despite the media’s braying about a “soft landing”, the sharp decline in sales suggests that Canada will face a catastrophe very similar to the one in the US, the only difference being that Canada will not suffer a financial crisis at the same time. (Mortgages are not securitized in Canada.) . . .

Safety First

Safety First: always, always. Greg was very lucky. He posted this on StrongLifts.com to warn other lifters that safety must always be a weight lifter's top priority. Greg is an experienced lifter who is strong. He was warming up here to bench 315 pounds. He was alone too. It took a few weeks to get over his embarrassment over a near-fatal event. Greg takes chances no longer. Safety rails in a squat cage are essential. He always uses them now. It's better to be safe than dead. Stay strong.
