The Disability Worker's Comp Trap!
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this website and I would like to invite everyone to my blog. I was injured stopping a patient from falling. I was working in the medical field as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. I always wanted to help people. Until I worked in the field and then was injured I found out how ignorant I was to the truth about the medical field. It's All About the Money!!!" As Kevin says in his books. I witnessed it first hand working there at a hospital and then fighting a Worker's Comp Case, which is still ongoing, for the past 13+ years. I have found that there are so many other treatments that God put on this earth that is not man made. I am still learning and have a long way to go. I am still reading the Natural Cures books and I have gotten help elsewhere through some Christian Websites. I have had 15 back surgeries due to malpractice. The Worker's Comp Case has lasted so long because I refuse to abide in what their doctor's say and take a ton of Morphine and other drugs!!! I have a lot more to learn, and I would like to help other's who are going through the same thing, even if it is just to listen. My son and I ended up homeless, I have had to file bankruptcy twice, and just as Kevin went through the Government messing with him, I am going through the same thing. I am on a fixed income and I have slowly been learning and trying to find natural cures for my chronic pain, the depression and stress it has caused, etc... I have been completely homebound for the last 3 years and have had two infections in my bloodstream. My immune system was shot. The only way I am going to win this case is by exposing the Washington, D.C. Worker's Comp Commission and the Insurance Carrier's for these big Corporations. Hospital's like you to think they are there to help you but they are money maker's and full of greed. They take advantage of the sick, disabled, elderly, etc... My orthopaedic surgeon who corrected the mistakes agrees with me on no more surgery and using natural cures and exercise, etc... Anything other than more surgery and drugs. He backs me up 100%. But the Insurance Carrier's have the Government in their pocket's because they pay the judge's salaries in the Washington, D.C. Worker's Comp Commission. I have no help other than my son and they want me to just give in and go away. I am exercising and starting to do the things stated in the book. I need to find certain doctor's, etc... in my area. I have a lot of research ahead of me to find all the stuff I need for my condition. I will be doing that on the natural cures website. My case is the longest running case in Washington, D.C. but I refuse to give in and be on Morphine and a ton of other medication for the rest of my life. Please read my blog and I will take any advice given and would love to help other's who are going through the same thing and help them if they are going through the same thing. I was so weak that I have been doing Physical Therapy for the last eight weeks and I am still sore from head to toe. I am losing weight and getting stronger which has made my natural endorphins kick in and I have been so much more alert. It is just hard because I have no extra money after paying my bills to get the things I need. I will be moving into a smaller place soon which will lower my living expenses to I can start getting the things that Kevin has suggested. Even though I am in so much pain and then the added pain from the exercise after being down for 3 years, my endorphins have kicked in so much that I feel like I have been drinking coffee all day long. I think they are on overload because they weren't working for so long. I have always been thin and small but I was 55 lbs. overweight. Now I only have about 20 to 25 lbs. to lose. It is going to take some time for me because of the malpractice, amount of surgeries, and being completely bedridden for the last 3 years. But, I feel so much better already by doing the exercising, I have less back pain as I get stronger, using natural products, eating better and the proper way, etc... Again, I look forward to learning and getting well. I have joined the Natural Cures website to be able to have access to as much information as possible to find out all the things I need to get and where I can get them. I welcome any suggestions and I hope to help other's with the knowledge I have attained. Please visit my blog!!!

WOW!! What an amazing story!! I know you're thinking that it's not amazing that it's probably the toughest time you've ever had but just think of what an inspiration you are to others and when you win your case how much more of a victory it will be. The people with the toughest lives give the most glory and honor to God when they overcome their challenges, compared to someone that succeeds the easy way. I don't really have any advice for you because it sounds like you really are on a great path - but i always say, read all you can and make your own decisions. Don't let the government or anyone else stuff things into your head that may or may not be true without doing your own research. I can't wait to hear more about your journey - GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks Kelly,
You are so right and I thank God every single day!!! I have lost all my friends and had a complete nervous breakdown on Mother's Day. I had to send my son to stay with his father so he wouldn't see me. I took the phone off the hook and just prayed for days. The Lord gave me the strength, wisdom, and answers I needed to get up and start fighting again!!! He has been my Rock. I am not a whiner and it is hard for me to ask for help. I just prayed and the next thing I know my Social Worker through the county I live in sent me a Physical Therapist and a Nurse Psychologist. I refuse to take any medications but the Nurse Psychologist and I just talk and that helps! My friends mainly started disappearing when I couldn't go do the things they wanted to do. I have a wonderful attorney and he and his wife have become very good friends. He and I are not going to give in to the Government. Also, he and several other attorney's want me to write a book. It would be to help other's get other help while fighting their cases and to give them hope and strength. But, first things first, I have to get stronger, then confront the Mayor of Washington, D.C. Then I will write the book. The attorney for the hospital I worked for and the hospital itself, and lastly the Insurance Carrier is just getting richer. But it's not over yet!!! Thanks for the support. I have a big decision coming up and they have hired a bunch of doctor's who haven't examined me to say that nothing is wrong with me. Then the one doctor who had me on all the drugs wrote a letter saying I should be on all the drugs instead of having my implanted pain stimulator and pump. The pump has a very low dose of medication in it but the pain doctor is going to put saline in it or snail venom which is something new that they are using for pain that is not a narcotic. It depends on how I am doing. The hard part is the financial end. I will keep you updated on what happens with these hired gun doctor's and what happens in a few weeks when a decision should be rendered. My doctor's are very receptive to my natural cure ideas and the meal replacement/pure vitamins that I have been using. They saw the weight loss and energy that it has given me. I just want to be as healthy as I can be and be as strong as I can be. And, I want to get out of the house because I am going crazy!!! I just hate when they lie and try to discredit me. I would much rather be working than being in constant pain and stuck in the house alone. Take care and talk to you soon!!!

Carol,
Just checking in with you to see how you are doing tonight.
I keep expecting an email but if you have not been feeling well it is understandable that you would not want to talk. I wish I lived closer so I could come and check on you. It tears me apart to think of what you are going through.
Just know that I care and I am here if you need to talk.

Carol, you sound like a very courageous woman. I commend you for your strength and determination. From reading your forum, it seems as if you are learning every little bit you can through your research and taking it all in. I think you are on the ball with this and congrats on the weight you have lost. That is a great thing. That alone will take alot of stress off your body. I will always keep you in mind when I read something that may be of interest to you. Take care.

Lisa,
Thank you so much!!! I am reading and learning so much. I am changing a lot of things but it is going to take some time. I have been down for 3 years and 15 surgeries in the last 13+ years. I was doing great until my mother passed away three years ago and I had to move in my brother's basement. I got the infection in my bloodstream from a leak in the basement and mold!!! Then I moved and unfortunately it came back and I almost died last December. I was homeless for 6 months and then got a place with help through the county government.. I just get my rent a little cheaper. But I had to take a huge townhouse and I don't need it. It is too big for me to take care of and the utilities are outrageous. So I am putting in for a transfer to an apartment. I hate even being in the government and having to depend on them. They make you pay the rent and they act like they are doing you such a big favor. They talk to you like you are trash. Yet the properties they buy are foreclosures and they are still making money off of you. They never come and fix anything. But, the woman that helped me get in the housing and is helping me transfer is awesome!!! She is one of the few that actually goes above and beyond her call. I still need to lose about 20 lbs. and I have never been this big. I can't afford to buy new clothes. I do feel much better from the weight loss. I need to get a Rebounder. I joined the Natural Cures website but I haven't been able to access it yet. I emailed them and I will call them back on Monday. My Physical Therapist thinks it would be great for me. I will fit it into my budget somehow. I thank you again for your support and your remarks. Take Care of yourself too!

I am so sorry you are having so many problems. I have been disabled for about 5 years now and my health problems are not getting better. So after reading all three of Kevin's books I am doing the weight loss protocol. I did most of the things on phase onefor about six weeks and just started using hcg about two days ago.
You are so right about the government agencies and even most of the med drs do not want us to use herbs. I have found even though my dr has been pretty open that every time I turned around he was gving me more and more drugs to use. I finally had had enough. He knows I am using hcg infact I showed him the book and he checked it out. The only thing he asked me was to see him to make sure I am doing ok.
When I first started phase one I could only affor a few things but I have been adding to it. The cleanses are the most important think I think. If you can sit in the sunshine and possibly start doing a little walking that will help. I just startedwalking today. I have lung problems and back problems so it makes it difficult, but I am determined to walk every day even if it is only five minutes. I will eventually get better even if it takes me two years.My hopes are to completely get off all meds, lose my weight and start being active again. Han in there. I know it is hard with so many health problems and fighting the government, but if you continue to stand strong you will get there. Also there are so many people here who are so understanding and willing to give you any direction that you might need.
I look forard to hearing from you again.

Patti,
I am so sorry to hear about your disability. It is very tough to deal with. And I know that your other health issues get put on hold when something like a disability happens due to injury or anything else. I don't have Kevin's weight loss book yet and I need to get it. I am still reading the other two. My doctor's are open to me doing anything that will help and will even write prescriptions for any treatment that will help. I got something called Living Fuel. It is a pure meal replacement/pure vitamin powder that you drink. You mix it with water. I lost most of the weight from using that because I wasn't even doing Physical Therapy then. I found out about it through a Christian website and it is wonderful. Actually, a lot of the stuff that the owner of Living Fuel has in his book lines up with what Kevin says. I need the cleanses immediately! I am still on a little medication that is in my implanted pain pump. We are hoping to put saline in it in the future when I get stronger. The implanted pain stimulator is wonderful. It constantly vibrates and takes the pain away in my back and legs.
I am doing a mile a day on my XL Glider. It is similar to a treadmill but it is like two ski's supported off the ground. It doesn't hurt my back and I can do the cardio on it. I can't use a treadmill because when the first surgeon messed up he fractured my Sacro-Illiac Joint and crushed a nerve root. I can't take a full step with my right leg and my right leg gives out and I fall without warning from the crushed nerve root. I have falls all the time from that. I have fallen down the steps and broken my foot twice, injured my elbow, etc... You really have to push yourself. I know that I have been doing therapy for 8 weeks now and the soreness has still not gone away. The Physical Therapist said I am being too hard on myself because I have been bedridden for the last 3 years. But, my endorphins have kicked in and my pain from the injury is less, I am awake a lot more, and I think they are on overload right now. I am just so full of energy. I started out with 1/4th of a mile and in 8 weeks I have gotten up to 1 mile now. I wake up every day early without an alarm. My sleep pattern is still off and I wake up about every hour to hour and a half due to pain. Then I am up and have to move around to get the kinks out before I can go back to sleep. I need a bed with no springs in it but Workers' Comp won't pay for it. I am going to buy it once I move to my apartment. They will have to reimburse me. I am in the same position as you. I plan on getting off all the meds, losing the rest of the weight, and become active again. I have lost all my friends and I have family members but they don't help. Just my son and he is only 20. I am not a whiner and I don't complain, but I just couldn't go do all the things my friends wanted to do and I couldn't afford to either. They slowly went away. Lastly, I have been sitting outside in the morning and in the evening. We have had some humid days and the air quality has been very bad so I didn't for about a week. I have walked a few evenings when it is cooler. In K. C. Craichy's book, the owner of Living fuel he points out the importance of being out in the sunlight every day either early in the morning or in the evening. Not during the really hot part of the day. We get our Vitamin D from the sun. Keep pushing yourself no matter how bad you hurt. Once you get the walking done the endorphins kick in and you will have extra energy. I have bought a lot of exercise programs off of TV and I use different ones for variety. I need to get a Rebounder. My Physical Therapist wants me to get one too. I joined Kevin's website, the Natural Cures one, but I haven't been able to access it yet. I have emailed them and will call them on Monday. I want to get the Rebounder ASAP. The pain medication can cause severe constipation and also being sedentary and not moving around much. I even drink a lot of water but still have problems. I need to get the information on the cleanses too and start them immediately!!! I don't know how to add you to my friends list yet on the website. I want to keep in touch with you and we can encourage each other!!! I will PM you and we can keep in touch. I would like to know a little bit more about your disability if you don't mind sharing. We can push and encourage each other and exchange information. You are ahead of me as far as doing the stuff Kevin has suggested. I have done some other things that are from the Living Fuel website and book, plus using their products which are on the same lines as some of the stuff Kevin has suggested that I have read so far. Keep in touch and thanks for responding.
I look forward to hearing from you again too. STAY IN TOUCH!!!

Carol,
It sounds like you have been through so much and it is so sad what the govrnment, drug companies and doctors do to us to keep us hooked on drugs and never getting better.
Before I took phen fen in 1995 I was walking for up to 5 miles a day.
Then after one month on phen fen I could not even go up the stairs in our house without being short of breath. Since that time I delevoped diabete which had progessively gotten worse ovr time. I have hbp for which I was given 3 pills a day and now I am down to one a day. I am almost certain that if I can lose about 50 pounds I will not have hbp. I take insulin and pills for my diabetes. I am tired of all the shots and pills and hope to get rid of these in time. My a1c 2 months ago was7.6 and I am hoping next month it will be down to 7. That still gives me 2 points to go but I think I can finally get there. My dr added actos to my regiment and it was causing water retention and when I called him about it he said he would rather have water retention instead of high blood sugars. The only problem with that is I have congestive heart failure and if I have too much water I could die. I ran out of the actos about a week ago and I don't have the moneyto refill it so I am not going to take it anymore. I am finding thatmy sugar levls are staying down with all the cleanses I am doing and all the nutritional products I am now taking and with walking I am sure that will help.
Ihave breathing problems because of the lung damage due to phen fen and I hope by losing the weight that will help me to breathe better.
I did become involved with a lawsuit agains the drug company, but they all told me that I only had problems because of my weight so needless to say they have said I am not entitled to a settlement. A dear friend of mine had a lot of the same damage She got a settlement last year and paid off all their bills which was nothing compared to what the attorneys took from her. Anyway she told me she knew she was going to die so she made her funeral arrangement. She passed away last month. I tried to tell her that she needed to take an interest in the natural healing process but she kept saying we don't have te money and it can be a factor but she could have done a little at a time but she was not willing toput in any effort. She was my best friend and I had known her for 27 years and it is so sad that if she had just listened maybe she could have been saved. I have not signed off on my lawsuit. I am just waiting until I lose my weight and then I am going after the drug company with a vengence. I do not believe the drug companies care about people all they care about is money and they do not care ifwe die from the drugs. I believe the drug company is waiting for all the people who took phen fen to die so they owe nothing.
Look at all the other drugs out there that are causing deaths.
Everytime I think about the FDA I get so mad, because they knew that phen fen was causing damage and they waiting for a full year before they pulled it from the market. They did not care about the damage just like the dug company. Don't get me started on the drs. Everytime a person with health problems goes to the dr, they are given rx and then they get kickbacks. Talk about a greedy world.
I also had a car accident and have a pinched sciatic nerve and three bulging discs which causes horrible pain. I am sure this will get better when I lose a lot of my weight. I know the effects of the constipation with pain meds. It is not worth it to me to have that problem on top of everything else. I have enough to deal with right now.
I really think that if you keep going the way you are you probably won't need the hcg. If your weight was about right before all this happened and you lose it all then you should be ok. Taking the cleanses and other products Kevin talks about will be good for you.
I have also included eating more fruits and vegetables and a few organic foods I can already tell a difference.
If you could start with the colon cleanse that is the best one to go with. Then try the other cleanses as well as the whole food and probiotics.
We are all in this together and working towards the same goal. Maybe if we can help each other and helpother people to do the same maybe one day we can bankrupt the drug companies. That would be such sweek revenge.
I think it is great that you want to turn your bad situation around into a message to help other people. I think that is something that we are all trying in our own small way.
I am on day three of hcg and have lost 1 pound and was not the least bit hungry when I got up. I am feeling better today. Was very sluggish for two days but feel so much better today. We will see how it goes in the next week.
Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. I think we can build a very good friendship as well as support for each other as we face each of our own demons. Take care and I will talk with you soon.
