Entrepreneur: Being one and raising money

2010-02-04T13:44:36-07:00

Here are links to 2 talks I have given the past 2 years. The first one is about things I have learned the hard way being an entrepreneur. Things you have not read in a book! The second is about raising money for a new venture where I reveal a few secrets I have learned along the way. I thought these might be useful in these days where people are either trying to find work or are trying to start a business so they can work. And perhaps create jobs. Hope you enjoy.Being an Entrepreneur. Raising money.

FOXNews.com - Intelligence Officials Warn Attempted Al Qaeda Attack Months Away

FOXNews.com - Intelligence Officials Warn Attempted Al Qaeda Attack Months Away Now this is good to know but really makes you wish that the Underwear Bomber would NOT have been treated like an American Citizen and given Constitutional Miranda Rights! What a Jack Bauer type might have learned from him!! But no, so that Islam won't get MAD at us, we are going to grant them OUR civil rights! Way to go Bracko!! Your reaching out to Islam has really helped out soooo much!! Sooner or later this was bound to happen though. At least now maybe, MOST Americans will realize once again that they are indeed trying to kill all of us! And not because of something we have done, other than we have "infidel" practices that they want to kill us for!

A typical mold patient

2010-01-19T11:33:17-07:00

I get emails like this a lot. I thought his questions and my answer could be useful. Dear Pat, I'm a former Disney animator who lives in Los Angeles. I will keep this brief. My health has been declining for 4 years. Problems with digestive system, nervous system, lungs and sinuses. Doctors were unable to find the cause. Recently, a testing company discovered mold growth behind the walls of my home office where I've worked for the past six years. The office had severe water intrusion problems during this time. I've since moved out and have disposed of just about all of my personal belongings. What's left is sealed and in storage. Unfortunately, I'm unable to be near it at this time. I went to Dr. Shoemaker for diagnosis and treatment. All tests verified mold illness: double genotype (not the dreaded, thank goodness), MSH of 8, VIP of 10, C4a over 10,000, etc. I've been on the cholestyramine for 7 months. Some problems have improved such as ADD, confusion, leg and foot cramping and twitching and severe burning in my spine. - however, I'm still experiencing dehydration, fatigue, depression, brain fog ad severe burning sensation in my neck and head. It's miserable and I'm unable to work. I've lost everything - health, finances and property. Shoemaker will not give me Actos or VIP replacement because my biomarkers have not improved in the 9 months he's been treating me. In fact, my c4a has doubled from 5,000. to 10,000. I need help. I'm renting a room in a house. All vents have heppa filters in them and I have a large heppa air cleaner in my room. I IRMI tested the house though I spend 95% of my time in the sealed room. The results were 5.28. Not sure what that...

Government will choose what healthcare you can get!!! Obamacare is a lie!

2009-12-24T14:09:11-07:00

What Doctors and Patients Have to Lose Under ObamaCare Changes to Medicare will give the feds control of surgical decisions.Normally I would post this direct into Facebook as it has become my "blog of choice" due to it's simplicity of linking WSJ articles. But this article is so critical to understanding what will happen if Obamacare passes both houses (still in question) that I wanted to highlight particular passages. Enjoy! By SCOTT GOTTLIEB Democrats are touting the American Medical Association's endorsement of President Obama's health plan. But there's an important reason why the American College of Surgeons and 18 other specialty groups are opposed. The plan's most tangible efforts to restrain medical costs are through its controls on specialist physicians. Based on the government's premise that they often make wasteful treatment decisions, the health-care legislation in Congress will subject doctors to a mix of financial penalties and regulations to constrain their use of the most costly clinical options. The penalties and regulations are aimed first and foremost at surgeons and the medical devices that they use, largely because that's where the bulk of spending is. It all starts with the sweeping power that the Senate bill gives to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The agency will be given the authority to unilaterally write new rules on when medical devices and drugs can be used, and how they should be priced. In particular, the Obama team wants to give the agency the power to decide when a cheaper medical option will suffice for a given problem and, in turn, when Medicare only has to pay for the least costly alternative. The government has already sought to acquire this same power administratively. But on Tuesday the Obama Justice department got swatted down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the...

Obama hangs an ornament of Mao the murderer on his Christmas Tree

2009-12-23T18:28:03-07:00

Mao killed between 50 and 70 MILLION people to force Communism upon China. And Obama features him on his damn Christmas Tree? Does Obama have any sense of what democracy and freedom is? He is not stupid but he deliberately debases and offends everything American. This man can only be described as evil. I am glad he will be a one term president unless someone decides to kill him first. I am NOT saying someone should. But he seems to be almost asking for it. I am sick to my stomach thinking an American President would do such a thing. See More FOXNews.com - White House Christmas Decor Featuring Mao Zedong Comes Under Fire www.foxnews.com Critics of President Obama are setting their sights on the official White House Christmas Tree, which features controversial ornaments including an orb depicting Mao Zedong and another showing drag queen Hedda Lettuce.

The biggest problem facing the world is radical Islam

2009-12-03T10:01:12-07:00

What a great analysis and scary read. The Islamists are winning in many places in the world and the world is standing by, or worse trying to appease them as they do it. We have to take a different approach if we are to survive. Download Emanuel-Tanay - A German View on Islam.

Don't get the Vaccine!

2009-11-19T18:47:01-07:00

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeon and writer of the Blaylock Wellness Report does not like the Swine Flu Vaccine. I had the good pleasure a few years ago, to have dinner with Dr. Blaylock. A very reasonable and very smart guy. He said the following in his most recent Newsletter: "No one should take the swine flu vaccine – it is one of the most dangerous vaccines ever devised. It contains an immune adjuvant called squalene MF-59 which has been shown to cause severe autoimmune disorders such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. This is the vaccine adjuvant that is strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome, which killed over 10,000 soldiers and caused a 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS (Lou Gehreg disease). This [swine flu] virus kills by causing a cytokine storm, which means that it causes the body's immune system to overreact and that is why it is killing young people and is a mild disease in the elderly. (The elderly have weakened immune systems.) This vaccine is a very powerful immune stimulator and carries the real possibility of making the lethality of the virus much greater." I was not going to get the vaccine anyway. Your choice.

Why I take High Dose Vitamin C

2009-11-18T14:48:41-07:00

I have been a proponent for sometime of the benefits of taking lots of Vitamin C. I now take close to 10 grams per day of Jigsaw Health's Sustained Release Vitamin C , and am gradually increasing it. There are tons of studies I can point to that show it has a tremendous impact preventing and even reversing a number of chronic illnesses. There are some studies you see talked about in the press saying Vitamin C does not do much but ALL of those studies were done using very low doses of C. Like doing a study on birth control pills, giving the women 1 pill per month and then saying "See, birth control pills doesn't work." C is also the most versatile anti-oxidant you can take. But these studies are not why I am taking C. The real reason I take lots of Vitamin C and believe everyone else should too, is because I believe our bodies were designed to make Vitamin C but lost that ability through a disaster to our DNA. Virtually all mammals make their own C and they make a lot of it. Up to 3 times more when they are under stress. It takes 4 different enzymes in mammals to turn glucose into Vitamin C. Humans all have 3 of the 4 enzymes needed to do the same thing. But we lost the ability to make the 4th enzyme. And we DO have a non-working gene in our DNA for that 4th enzyme! This is a disaster! Think about it. If the body could turn excess sugar into Vitamin C instead of only turning it into FAT, no one would be fat. No one, would likely have diabetes. Excess sugar and fat impacts virtually all the disease processes. AND now we no longer...

Why I no longer recommend Dr. Shoemaker - Updated

2009-09-22T19:33:27-07:00

Update: I am not retracting anything I say below, in fact I could amplify but won't. But there could be a few reasons to still go see Dr. Shoemaker. First, if you need a doctor to help you get disability he could be very helpful at doing this. Second, if you need an expert witness in litigation of a mold case you likely could not find a better advocate than Dr. Shoemaker. I recently read a 47 page letter to an opposing lawyer written by Shoemaker and it is a brilliant piece of work. and will help you understand your own illness better. Third, if you do go see him you will have a much better appreciation of your illness and understanding of your physiology. Now it is possible to do much/most of this on your own, but it is not easy. And you need to go into it understanding that you may well end up primarily as his lab rat but you will learn a lot in the process. But a lot of it you can act on on your own. Also, you should read his book "The Mold Warriors". Though now outdated and poorly organized, you will have a MUCH better understanding of your illness. ______________________________ I wish it were not true but I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer recommend people go to see Dr. Shoemaker. I still believe that he is totally brilliant. I believe he has unraveled much of the mystery surrounding Fatigue illness. I still believe he ought to win a Nobel Prize someday. There is a whole lot more to this story that I will not write about here. And Shoemaker would definitely have a different side to tell. He is welcome to comment if he wants to. In...
