I wish to submit this true story for your show and do hope 
you decide to use it or at least some portion there-of.
It is a true life story and also contains some of my honest
feelings on how to correct our ever more costly and at times 
outright failing hospital system.
 --------------------------------
In 1998 i developed severe visable chylous ascites among 
about a dozen other symptoms while in the Montreal General
for tests run due to a mild outbreak of Jaundice. 
The Doctors and Specialists Concluded i was suffering from
bile duct blockage due to bile duct stones however they found
no such stones upon x-ray results. Suddenly i also developed
chylous ascites. They later concluded i had a whole host of
illnesses including Cirrhosis and after being bedridden at the
Montreal General for 3+ months and was down to < 100lbs.
i was given 2 choices: either get the paper and blood works
done for a liver transplant, or leave the hospital and return
only on an outpatient basis for continued paracentesis.
I choose the latter, and went home and studied alternative
medicine on the Internet. Within 3 Months, my ascites was
gone and i never set foot in the MUHC Montreal General again.

( ie. i cured myself and recently went through LFT tests and
general checkup and was found in excellent physical health )

Since this near death experience though i've had to survive 
through a series of debilitating emotional and traumatic events
like being kicked out of several rooming houses due to mass
evictions by the city police, landlords, etc.
I've missed court dates to get my say at the Regie du
Logement, been harrased and threatned to be cut off
welfare by the welfare people to get on QPP disability
assistance and i do not even have nor can i find a family
doctor to prove my disability. ( In fact i just received a
letter from welfare saying i'm to be cut off welfare starting
October 01-2004 ). And to boot, all the specialists refuse to 
sign any papers ( just in case they might incriminate themselves ).

Now it really gets interesting! You see i found out by chance on the 
Internet while browsing, that a natural occuring
substance in nature ( a poison that can kill called PA's or
Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids ) in my case i suspect cheap imported honey 
which i consumed heavily just prior to my ascites diagnosis etc. 
was the cause since i was working extreemly long hours preparing for 
my Self Employment Management Theasis and i required the extra energy 
and mental stimula the honey gave me to work those long hours 7 days 
a week for 6 months.

Anyway, the PA's are known to give exactly the same symptoms as those 
i had 5 years ago ( ascites, jaundice etc. ), and it's just lucky
i was not killed by them. Did the doctor specialists ever mention that
that's just maybe what i had?  Fu.. NO.

Now we really get into how screwed up everything is or gets:
Not only was i misdiagnosed, but i can't even find a family doctor or
anyone to help me get my emotional state back into the thaught of the
possibly of living to be 90+ years old since i'd already resigned
myself i was going to die any day or year anyway and having recently
had my second PTSD near death experience, it certainly does not
help me recover by myself.

But hold on, it gets even screwier:
While browsing on the Internet, a came across some reference material
concerning TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury ). It felt like i was reading
about the exact symptoms i've encountered since i was a child after
being struck in the head by a vehicule driven by a Quebec child
social worker nurse when i was only 5 years old.

After realizing i had suffered the exact same problems i was
just reading about since childhood, and i had never yet heard of or
seen any medical report concerning the skull fracture i had incured.

I was frustrated and angry, and set out to find my hospital chart
from that time at the Montreal Neurological Center. They told me
after a few weeks that it was lost and they would have to look in
some of the warehouses they stored old archived medical records in.
Several months passed, and after several phone calls, still nothing.
After i threatened to sue them, my medical report suddenly showed up.

Sure enough, i found what i suspected! It indicated clearly in it,
that i had EEG evidence of abnormality of cerebral function.

Now i want someones ass for not having prepared me since childhood for
those intellectual deficiencies i was left to struggle with all my life
and all alone! It's just like the people hanging around on the street
today who have mental illness and no-one looks after them. Only in my
case, my mental problems were caused by a Government Employee and
negligence.

How could the Institutions, the hospitals, the doctors, the schools and
everyone just have abandoned a child to fend for themselves in this
crazy ass world all alone, with no emotional support, guidence or 
help of any kind after the severe skull fracture that they knew when
i left the hospital would cause be to function less well than could be?
All the while, i've been incorrectly assuming i was normal. 
What a lie, yet it's exactly a part of the symptoms of TBI!
Perhaps my parents were never even given that information ( my 
hospital chart ) In any case, i never saw it till a couple of months
ago, and now my parents are gone, it's too late to verify with them
if they ever layed eyes on that hidden info!


After Paul Martin put the squeeze on the economy to prevent 
inflation, and now with the ever evident existance of the global
economy how can i ever compete in this mentally demanding world 
with only a half baked sub normal brain and memory? Talk about 
grosse injustice and state abandonment of responsibilities! 

Check out my websites and links concerning this and more at:
http://www.vif.com/users/chris-m/mcgill~1.html

You'll find a lot more info there than i can possibly give here in
this outline!

Like that the CFIA doesn't even check for imported honey Pyrrolizidine
Alkaloids content. And i recently found out that the import store
where i purchased that Australian honey 1n the mid to end 1990's, no
longer imports or sells Australian brand honey!
 ..
If the damn government wants to do something right and courageous 
for a change, they'd do as R. Reagan did in the 80's with the Air 
Traffic Controllers.
I should know i was working in the USA at the time and one of my 
best friends was a ATC and he got fired. So why not do the same with 
the damn doctors hire and their all too powerful CMA / CMPA and
hire some of those foreigner doctors currently driving cabs.

Hospitals should cease buying those semi useless billion dollar
medical diagnostic machines that the medical diagnostics builders
/ corporations top salesforce bamboozle medical hospital management
into buying! Cause in reality and in many cases ( like mine ),
they're useless, overused PLUS i believe the technicians who use
them don't truely know how to read and interpret their results!


The main figures of my story: 

Myself and my websites, the hospitals, Institutional systems in 
general, the doctors, the so called specialists, the medical 
system, the CFIA, the welfare system,  the QP Plan system (early
retairment restraints), the so called specialists all around, the
Canadian FIA, polititians, Ronald Regan, very capable foreign 
doctors currently only driving cabs, million dollar medical 
equipment manufacturers and their snake oil sales people, the
CMPA who will spend $1,0000.000 to fight a $100,000 lawsuit
against any doctor who screws up. How much is the CMA involved?

I feel this story of mine is important for the following reasons: 

It's timely, relevant and shows a lot about what's wrong in general
with not only the medical system in canada but perhaps the entire 
educational system as well as showing how we rely too heavily on
expensive often useless medical equipment, and how many doctors
with great amounts of specialization often misdiagnose problems
because they rely far too much on fancy expensive equipment and
not enough on common sense and good general medical knowledge.
I also give some ideas on how to quickly bring the most expensive
part of hospitals ( doctors pay ) in line with other professionals
in other fields.


Sincerely,

Election Year in Quebec, pre election communications

Sample of Dealings via email with Jean Charest, CJAD, CBC Radio, etc.


since April of of this year, with little or no response from anyone. No one gives a SHIx

Put simply, effectively the poor have NO legal Rights


Given the amount of erosion of any assistance via legal aid (ie.
Legal aid is only available in the case of grave criminal charges
against to requestor of said "LEGAL AID") and given the general
legal rights even allowed to ordinary upstanding citizans in CANADA
today ie. "Mayher Arar". I think we've been totaly FUCxed by
CANADA!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine this, i just received a letter from "Marjolaine Roy" on behalf
of Jean Charest concerning a letter i sent back in December 2003,
and guess what? i did send a letter, but it had nothing to do with
the response they sent! Take a look:
------------------------------------
Guess what happened on the internet today?
Well i'll tell ya. I was visited (according to my we visit tracker)
by the government of Quebec browsers.
see, i'll prove it:

Sorry!

Re: Answer re: re: That is not at all what my letter concerned!
 You'd better get your e-mail straightned and sorted out!
I'll re-e-mail what i sent on the 23rd of December. See below!
--------------------------------------------------------------



My original e-mail was as follows:
Many emails to CJAD,  jcharest@assnat.qc.ca ( minister Charest ), CBC
and others regarding many issues that now seem to all be quickly
coming into focus.
------------------
Request necessary forms to contest decision by Judge Hélène Chicoyne
or to appeal in front of the commission.

I will not stand behind this infringement on my rights and outright
theft of my ability to contest the severely prejudicial decisions caused
to me by virtue of poverty and ill health, brought on by other blunders
of the government, departments, impotent legal system and other insults
.

Please be forewarned, i have already taken steps to defend myself via
public platforms such as the media including radio stations, the
Internet and so forth.

I will not stand by and be made a fool out of, while you people sit in
your damn plexy-glass towers, and dictate injustices on all.

The judge told me, after i spent 1 day traveling to your offices at the
old Olimpic Village site (your offices), filling out
contestation forms for a previous decision by another judge, that i was
disqualified to receive any justice concerning my alleged indemnity
against my former landlord at:
Maison des Chembres 2000 23-4293 St-Jacques. At no time did your officer
tell me that to contest any decision by the original Judge, i would need
to go in-front of the whole commission to plead for an appeal of that
decision.

What kind of office are you all running at the former Olympic Village?
Don't your people know your own regulations, or does it take a Judge to
interpret your own rules?

As i told her at the time:

It cost society and myself frustration, time, money i don't even have,
and neither does society according to Jean Charest, all because your
people are inadaquitly trained and the legal system sucks like a blood
sucker in a swamp.

I froze my bloody ass off walking to and from court on Réné levesque in
the pooring cold rain on Wednesday 19, November 2003, on a day (week)
while the bloody MUC bus and metro mechanics were on strike and on that
day i was to appear in court.

Now i want the bloody court decision mailed to me in ENGLISH and i do
want to contest this non-decision that Judge Chicoyne and previous and
original Judge made concerning my non show for the court date
20-OCTOBER, 2003, etc.

I was after all evicted along with 20+ other people this summer, at the
same time my original court date with you all concerning the original
subject and legal action i took regarding the subject also occured
concurrently. 

Please see another legal action i have pending regarding this matter. i
hope the next time when this court date comes up, if it ever does i
don't know when, at least you all could make some effort to contact me
via my social assistance officer, of any pending court date, in case i'm
on the street again for some reason like maybe i can no longer afford
the high rent, or i get evicted again by the city as i was this summer.


i do not have the money nor is my health in satisfactory condition to
allow me to go down to your offices at this juncture, so please do not
ask or tell me to come down there for any of my requests. This is after
all soon to be 2004, not the year 1924.

You had better be able to handle things by e-mail or at least regular
snail mail!

The recent serving of papers regarding the extended secrets act on the
reporter in Ottawa. ie. the Maher incident

It should be obvious to anyone, that the sole reason for this arrest
is and was to make sure that any and all info collected on the "Arhar
case" (The bungling of the government and law enforcement agencies)
remains a secret. and any info collected on these bungling agencies
who handed Ahrar over to the US law enforcement never see the light
of day (especially no ordinary Canadian voter ever sees the truth)!

It's simply put a very convient way for the government of Canada to
bury the truth on the Canadian AND International stage.

If it takes simply enacting some obscure subset of a new law on
antiterrorism to hide your bungling, so be it!

And that's all there is to it!

    It seems to me it's high time the GOVERNMENT fork over the monies the poor of this country have been robbed by the very people who are so called taking care of the inflation and previous splurges of extravaganz(as) (ios) extravegent grandious BLA BLA campaigning and CUM dreams of their own re-election or election platforms. Seems to me, prior to economic intervention to stave off inflation, so the rest of the countries people could still afford homes and SUVs, it became a priority to KILL inflationary tendencies ( LIKE JOBS ) easy work for everyone, etc... This effectively shut down any prospects for certain people even today to come-by a frickin job.

  • RIGHT or WRONG

    Anyway here are some letters with some radio stations from
    several months ago, that still have power and are yet un-
    resolved in almost all ways.

    How about some good news to pass on to the voters and radio listeners
    of Quebec. Check out below:
    
    Climbing out of poverty significantly reduces the likelihood of 
    childhood mental illness, according to a new Journal of the American 
    Medical Association study that looked at the positive effects of a
    casino opening land owned by Indians on Indian tribal welfare.
    
    So Jean Charest, keep those casino's going, but feed the monies back 
    into helping the less lucky in our society with illnesses ( mental or
    physical )
    See Article at: http://www.vif.com/users/chris-m/cjad-etc.html
    
    Let's not forget about the importance of our kids and our parents in
    a crazy rush to kill or snuff out our past and necessary debts of
    today. Saving 1 Billion in taxes for the middle class is not worth
    dumping on the poor and already deprived persons of our society.
    Trying to sweep people and problems caused ( One way or the other )
    by government bunglings, other people of society ( alcohol related,
    theaft related, automobile accident related or whatever ) is solving
    nothing in the end. All it proves is how callous and non caring our
    governments really are. One should not be surprised about huge
    legal or other assults to be played out in retribution some time
    in the future.
    
    Idealy Let's catch and fix mental illness before it's a totaly un-
    manageable and too bloody late.
    When however it becomes a problem, let's not hide from people who
    need the help, it could be you at any time in the future.
    When i requested psychiatric help at my local clinic, the bloody
    doctor wanted me to spend a month first at a local hospital in
    detox, and i didn't even have a choice. You bloody well know where
    i told him to go. 1st of all, i have a real aversion to hospitals
    and institutions of any kind, 2nd what's with him anyway, is he
    not shoveling of any responsibilities to another place and another
    institution? I don't even think what he did and said is legal!

    Nancy!
    
    Today December 9th. i was unable to get through in time to put my ¢ 
    in, but i do have many thing to tell all your listeners regarding my
     very very negative experiences regarding many aspects of our system 
    in general.
    
    To begin with, all the learning institutions of which i know and have
    worked in many both here and in the USA, they don't give a damn about
     what kind of product ( person ) they create. They are only concerned
     about their bottom line.
    
    The judicial system is also in cahoots with all these institutions 
    by-the-by! As a person, you hardly stand a snowballs chance in hell
    of surviving if you legally take on a institution. The judges are
    simply biased on the side of the bloody institution.
    
    For example, when i was teaching at Delta College in Montreal, i was
    promised a course delivery projection system to teach computer sciences
    with ( especially well suited to Internet training ) in 1997. When 6 
    months had gone by and nothing was done to provide me with a decent 
    unit, and after i had to rewrite and redo all my course presentation 
    in paper format, i took them to court for this oversite.
    
    The judge sided with the college and said if i was not satisfied that
    i should simply quit, which i did and two months later they were 
    bragging on TV with ads on how great their video based training was 
    in regards to computer training. The students expressed dismay that i 
    had quit and considered me the best instructor they ever had.
    
    They complained that most of their other experience with other 
    instructors there, was that they spent their whole time in class 
    writing down notes their instructor wrote on the board, in stead of 
    learning about the whole picture and getting a real feeling for the 
    subject at hand.
    
    6 months later i went to the ZZZZZZZZ Hospital with a pain in my right 
    quadrent below my ribs. They gave me some anti anxiety pills and 
    later when i wanted to get up and move around a little, they strapped
     me to my cot as if i was a terrorist. I signed myself out of that 
    hospital two days later after complaining to them that they reminded 
    me of "One flew over the kookoos nest" movie, and that i was severely 
    tramatized by the whole experience. i don't want to imagine how they
    would have treated me had i had nowhere else to go and was confined 
    legaly to their custody.
    
    Those two days at the ZZZZZZZZ hospital, plus the other negative
    subsequent experiences in hospitals, now leaves me completely
    paranoid and untrusting of any medical institution or practicioner
    even a dentist. Allow me to explain.
    The drugs or something they gave me at the ZZZZZZZZ hospital somehow
    gave me jaundice. A week later i was patient in emergency at the
    PPPPPPPP HHHHHHHH Hospital.
    Two (2) months later, i was still in emergency at the Montreal
    General and weighed 50 lbs. less than when i went in.
    
    All their fancy multi-million dollar machines could find nothing
    concreet wrong with me, but by now it was not any longer jaundice
    i had, i had developed a serious case of ascites.
    
    They were pumping about 1 gallon of liquid from a gut like that
    of a 9 months pregnent woman carring twins.
    
    After about 4 months, the doctors were telling me to prepare to
    die, or to at least apply for a liver transplant.
    None of their medicines were working. And i was quit fed-up with
    them trying every type of possible drug on me, and them not even
    being able to accurately / concisely identify what deadly illness
    i had!
    
    I wanted nothing more to do with hospitals and doctors, and was
    quite happy to give up and move out completely to leave the room
    to someone else.
    I agreed to become an outpatient, just coming in every 2 days to
    be drained of peritional fluids. This cost me a fortune in taxi
    cab fares, since i was too weak and sore to walk any distance.
    I however did start intensive searches on the Internet for some
    sort of self-help or self cure.
    It cost me a fortune of savings. Every cent actually, in testing
    different foods, alternative exotic medicines that the doctors
    probably never even heard of.
    As Paul Brunet ( quebec minister of health ) now openly admits,
    many medical safety protection features for patient care are
    already ( so called ) built into our medical system, yet few
    are ever carried our or followed through. ie. it's just a bunch
    of BULL.
    Just now in france, a killer bug once again is hitting hospitals,
    believed to be caused primarily by overuse of antibiotics.
    Hell, how many people have contracted all sorts of hepitites and
    even AIDS due to simple blood transfusions. And are they ever
    properly compensated when guilt has been established. Hell NO,
    certainly not in Canada, you need to go to the USA for that!
    

    As a matter of fact i would still be in the USA today and working if not for my mother becoming ill here, and returning home at her request.

    It's 3:00 AM so - More on this later!

    Just last night on i believe it was BBC overnight, you had a great report on about a study which was conducted by them in USA on aboriginal people, and their response to suddenly receiving monies from a then newly started garunteed revenue from a gambling casino in the Carolinas, and how the found most cases of mental illness somehow disappeared when a modest steady income was supplementing every families household. In an opposite yet similar way, craziness seems to thrive in places like where i just was thrown out of this summer along with about another 20 roomers who could not afford better residence. Rather than deal with crazies like some of us were (into sex, drugs and rock & roll ) they simply found a reason to evict all of us in one shot! Please visit story at:

  • Boost From Poverty Helps Mental Health
    Casino windfall leads to unique study TUESDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDayNews) -- Climbing out of poverty significantly reduces the likelihood of childhood mental illness, according to a new study that looked at the effects of a casino opening on Indian tribal welfare. The study, which appears in the Oct. 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared rates of poverty and mental health among Native American and other children living in rural North Carolina between 1993 and 2000. Prior to the opening of the casino on land belonging to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, poor children in that tribe were about twice as likely as wealthier youth to suffer from emotional and behavioral disorders. After the gaming began, the impact of the new revenue on the tribe's mental health was dramatic. Rates of rebellious and aggressive behavior among children lifted from poverty by the annual distribution of casino money fell to those among children who'd never been poor at all. Google search for:

    found: Nanotechnology in Medicine Cosmin Deaconu Nanotechnology is a new field with many possible uses, medicine being one of them. Nanotech was first predicted by Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman (in his lecture There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom) in 1959. (Drexler, 2001) Since then, nanotech has become a reality, and some companies are already implementing it. Nanotechnology is perhaps not the best definition, as it may cause some misconceptions. Firstly, it’s not strictly technology, it’s anything to do with structures one to several hundred nanometers long in at least one direction. Secondly, it doesn’t necessarily deal with nanometers, as it can be expanded to include structures measured in microns. (Stix, 2001) November 22, 2001
  • The estimated Trillion Dollar Nanotechnology Economy
    NO SMALL TASK \ Why Colorado is Positioned to be a Leader in the Trillion Dollar Nanotechnology Economy; And Why it Must Act Decisively Now!! April 2003 Nanotechnology revenues are already over $45.5 billion globally and are expected to become a $1 Trillion piece of the economy in little over a decade according to the US government (some have placed this figure as high as $16 trillion by 2015. Traditionally, the nanotechnology realm is defined as being between 0.1 and 100 nanometers, a nanometer being one thousandth of a micron (micrometer), which is, in turn, one thousandth of a millimeter. --------------------------------------------------------------- The latest very interesting findings come from Rice university in California. i heard about it on CBC radio Canada. Apparently, in this state of the art 100% effective on mice cancer killing technology using nano- particles which are ingested into the body that immediately go to any area in the body where there is a cancer. A small dose of off light (slightly higher than infrared frequency) is applied via some sort of ligting system, and this causes these nanoparticles to become extreemly hot. This in turn kills the cancer without any side effects of radiation poisioning as is usually the case with kimo-therapy. This NEW procedure is proven 100% effective in mice and only takes a few minutes of exposure vs dozens of dangerous radiation doses using conventional means of cancer treatment. It is supposed to be ready for human testing within 1 year ( some time in 2004 ). Nanoparticles Could Help Fight Cancer - 13 of November, 2003 - ...

  • photonics.com Tiny nanoparticles could be launched into tumors Latest technology kill cancers in minutes - not months or years! WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -- Tiny nanoparticles could be launched into tumors and heated up using near-infrared light to destroy cancer cells, says a group of Texas researchers who have experimented with the technique on mouse tumors. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers said cancerous tissue was destroyed and healthy tissue was spared using the technique. The "nanoshells" -- so small it would take 5,000 of them to reach the size of a poppy seed -- are made from silica coated with gold, which would be injected into a tumor located using a scanner. A near-infrared wavelength light would then be shone on the area. This penetrates the skin to reach the tumor, and, at the right frequency, actually causes the particles to heat up. Enough heat is generated to damage the cancer cells and ideally restrict the growth of the tumor, but surrounding cells would be undamaged. The work is at an early stage, but animal experiments have encouraged the researchers. They injected mouse tumors with the nanoshells, and within four to six minutes the near-infrared light heated them up enough to kill the cancer cells through your skin. The team suggested that, in time, the technique could have a "large impact" on treatment.
