Interests
Music basically. I have been in the concert promotion business since 1985. You can visit www.santafebooking.com. I'm still surprised that it is still up but big and small, I have been there. Yes it's a different world I guess, but after thousands of shows, ones views and tastes in music fluctuate lot more.

Close High Blood Pressure
I was diagnosed with very high blood pressure and had a stroke in October of 2006. I am taking Norvasc 10 mgs and Lissinopril 20 mgs. Although it it appears to be helping me right now, I eventually want to get off them. Isn't there anything natural instead like vitamins instead? I understand that while there are some good arguments for medication. I trully believe that it is really controlled politically and for all the money in the world for ever since I am told that I will take this medication for the rest of my life. Oh, by the way that includes Lipitor also.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I certainly don't salt anything anymore and if I can help it I prefer not to buy anything that allready made with salt ie. processed foods.
- Lisinopril Working / Worked
- so far so good. Ican't really tell though that it is the Norvasc or the Lisinopril that gets me dizzy all day long.
- Norvasc Working / Worked
- dizzyness all day long
- Lipitor Working / Worked
- I can't tell untill I get another checkup

- stable and slow
- Magnesium Working / Worked
- stable and slow
- Running Working / Worked
- Currently I'm on lisinopril. I jst got off norvasc. my blood pressure was too low.
- Running Working / Worked
- When I got of norvasc, I checked my blood pressure 3 times a day, when I wake up, noon and evening. In the morning it is high,I go for a walk and a jog and it goes back to normal then and it lasts all day. I go out for only about 1 hour.
Close High Cholesterol
I take Lipitor 40mg
Treatments
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- 2 aspirins per day. almot 600mg per day
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- no salt no fats where possible. Lots of fruits and grains.
- Lipitor Working / Worked
- can't tell till my next check up.
- Running Working / Worked
- I don't know yet cuz I'm still researching it, but,high blood pressure and chloresterol are related so running will lower that too.
Open Brain Injury
I had a stroke in October of 2006. I take Novasc, Lisinopril and Lipitor and daily exercise.
Treatments
- Running Working / Worked
- I seem to be more awake because of it. The breathing certainly helps me get more oxygen to my brain.
Open Stroke
I had a stroke in October of 2006. I was hospitalized for about a month. I am currently taking Norvasc, Lisinopril and Lipitor and I do daily and I do daily exercise at a spa.
Treatments
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- seems to work I don't because I am only the patient. The doctors seem to be the only ones to anwer that.
- Norvasc Working / Worked
- I take every morning at 8:30 am for blood pressure.I'm dizzy all day long though and it really bums me out.
- Lisinopril Working / Worked
- I take this med every nite at 8:30 pm for blood presure. I don't know if it's the Norvasc or this or both that keep me busy all day long. Maybe it's the dosage.
- Lipitor Working / Worked
- I don't so I have to get another check up as I can't tell if it does work although I am or not idealy.
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- I guess I again can't tell because I can't.
- Magnesium Working / Worked
- seems to be ok. I can't tell because the daily experiences are so suble and very slow
- Running Working / Worked
- I have ataxia from the stroke. I think by continuing my vitamins and running, soon getting off ALL these awful drugs will get me well finally.
Open Vegetarians & Vegans
I am new to learning how to eat this way. I had a stroke October 12, 2006. Since then I have been told that I saw God. I guess that's true to a degree.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- I still a student if you will. But tell me as I am all ears.
- Raw Food Diet Working / Worked
- I was given an email from the son of the founder of www.speedhealing.com. I have read alot more since then. It appears that there is quite a bit of magic in this form of diet. It also includes fruit and vegetable juicing. Check it out cut it works!
Open The Financial Crisis
Learn all you can about risk in everything you do in your life, and don't follow anyones advice. Everyone is unique so teach yourself. There is no other way. Don't be gullible. Learn! Nobody knows how you feel or think if you get sick or loose all your money. Become healthy in every which way. Don't cry. Get up! Oh and by the way, don't you just hate mutual funds. They're all rip offs; most all of them.
Open Hepatitis C
I have a sister that has hep c. I want to learn all I can, especially about edema, treatments, supplements, exercise, etc. I welcome everyone on DS to respond.
Treatments
- Interferon, pegylated Working / Worked
- Inteferon did not work. It only made her condition worse, so she stopped.
- Milk Thistle Working / Worked
- yes, it seems to help, but I'm of the thought that one must be very assertive with this kind of treatment. It appears that all drugs are merely poisons and are very toxic.
Open Financial Challenges
I also trade the stock market
Treatments
- Budgeting Working / Worked
- You can take any road and maybe eventually get there, or not. Budgeting is financial planning. By planning, one is setting direction thus not wandering aimlessly. So, yes. Budgeting really helps, no matter how small or big.
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- A penny earned is a penny saved (aside from taxes, inflation, etc.), a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush, 100% of something is better than 100% of nothing, etc.
