Millenium Diet: America's cure for obesity

Millenium Diet: America’s cure for obesity

As America grows more obese scam artists are coming forward to tantalize the public with their dietary machinations. My favorite is the nameless physician who has a new diet every few weeks. Lose 15 pounds in 3 weeks, lose 9 pounds in 10 days or lose at your leisure are some of this physician’s pitches to keep the money rolling in. More egregious was the list of commercial diets deified by a national news magazine. The top plans were very expensive to implement, their science questionable and there was no data base to support their claims, yet they were considered the best in the country. Perhaps ad revenue purchases have much to with their placement at the top of the list. Encountering diets that do not work is easy. They are splashed all over the net. Searching for the Millenium Diet on line brings up dozens of programs that have paid for placement before you see the one you are looking for. The Millenium Diet does not need to pay to be regarded as the frontrunner, it sells itself. High protein low carb and restricted calories is the most physiological regimen on the market. Utilizing this program results in; more rapid weight loss, lower cholesterol and better overall health. The science is sound, reproducible and proven in numerous studies. Request even the most tangible proof that commercials diets or there celebrity counterpart’s work and an elusive system of evasive techniques kicks in. Data is minimal, scarce or nonexistent when attempting to discern the basis of these programs. The Millenium Diet has been reviewed across the net, across the world and may be one of the most pirated diet books in cyberspace.

Maryland's entitlements to state workers

Maryland’s Entitlements for State Workers

Surrealism has taken the place of reality in the abode we call Annapolis. Insulated from the economic pressures Maryland’s private sector must face, legislators and the Governor continue to pour our tax dollars into very generous benefits and salaries of state workers. Most recently a pharmacy contract was approved mandating Maryland coffers to jimmy up 2.4 billion dollars or more over the next five years for prescription drugs. This is only one integral part of their health benefits which includes vision, dental, psychiatry, hospitalization, in office medical visits, very generous surgical allowances, cosmetics and a plethora of other health entitlements. Yet there is more. Vacation offerings include up to 25 days of time away from the drudgery of working in a hostile environment. Six personal days each calendar year to spend at Maryland casinos and other fine establishments. Eleven paid holidays and fifteen days of sick leave to help recover from those difficult weekends. Need time with the family, no problem Maryland adheres to the Family Medical Leave Act. Take some time off, perhaps six months, Maryland taxpayers are very sensitive to your needs. There is much more; subsidized child care, life insurance, accident insurance, long term care insurance and retirement benefits that would make Obama’s redistribution of wealth model proud. In the event you don’t want to leave the confines of your home, no problem, Maryland may allow you to telecommute utilizing their Teleworking program. For those who live in and around Baltimore free mass transits passes. My question is how many state employees are getting free cell phones, cars, tuition benefits and sundry other giveaways as additional compensation. Who pays for this largess, you and I in the private sector. Maryland’s tax structure is onerous and getting worse. Gasoline taxes are being heightened to a point where they are more costly than the product taxed. Tolls already high are going much higher. Autocratic tax assessments on businesses have driven many out of Maryland. Liquor taxes that stifle sales recently were elevated. Most Marylanders are not aware that auto registrations, driver licenses, all professional licenses and more will not be renewed if your state taxes are not current. State Comptroller’s Office sends out thousands of letters each day with demand for payment on an entire array of taxes that I have not mentioned in this article. Veiled threats are written into these intimidating letters to force money from you to continue Maryland’s gravy train flowing to its hardly working employees. Those who refuse payment will could lose their homes, bank accounts will be lien and or  garnished and your good name will be destroyed at the credit bureau. It is unfair to require the private sector to continue supporting these state worker entitlements. Liberal stupidity created this mess. Soon there will be more takers than supporters of this broken system. Will Obama bailout Maryland, stay tuned.

President's competence questioned

President’s Competence Questioned

Forces are gathering in the Middle East as I write these words that could ignite the next World War. This will be one war that mainland America cannot escape. To impede Iran’s nuclear program Obama has frozen some Iranian bank accounts. The joke is on America not Iran. They have money stashed in a dozen countries. Obama’s recent stance to diminish our military and denigrate it to the point where it is no longer a fighting force, tells us more about him than his foolish speeches. This week we have been told that Obama had the word God removed from an Air Force insignia. To make matters worse he has moved in on the domain of the church and their affiliates to force them to offer contraception in contradiction to their beliefs. America is under assault by a president who has no ability to comprehend the great harm he has done to every institution and tradition from which we collectively draw strength. In the event that Iran is successful in creating a bomb, it will be used. Obama had an opportunity to squelch the Iranian regime when prodemocracy forces were attempting to undermine their ruthless government. America’s voice was not heard and now only whispers are emanating from Washington D.C. Armageddon is both a location and a reference to a place where the final battle for good and evil will be fought. Many from the Middle East have referred to America as the great Satan. Perhaps forces beyond our comprehension are driving the World to an inevitable confrontation at this location, using our diminished leader to help set the stage for this ultimate event. The time is now to reestablish our dominance in that part of the world, with might not flight as the president has done. Only through strength will America keep the peace in a very troubled World.

Maryland Board of Medicine: abusive peer review 101

Maryland Board of Physicians: abusive peer review 101

Maryland Board of Physicians former executive director publically stated that this administrative entity was not sanctioning enough physicians. Indeed a political statement with a more profound meaning, the Board of Physicians was commanded to generate more cases to make their sanction numbers look better on the national scene. To carry out this directive, fake standards of care were generated to bring more physicians under the legal hammer of the Board. Many borderline physicians found they could make a good living rubberstamping whatever Board of Physician attorneys put to paper in the form of charges against their colleagues. These rogue medical reviewers were given immunity from prosecution to sweeten the pot. With the stage set and the actors in play physicians found themselves being lambasted by a medical board that did not have the best interests of Marylanders in mind. Circumventing established laws, mandates and legal covenants Medical Board lawyers employed by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office levied unsubstantiated charges at the physician populace. Cooperating at the highest levels with Medical Board personnel, Maryland Courts vigorously supported any muck they threw at physicians. This author has extensive examples where facts of a case do not justify the negative opinions Maryland Courts have dispensed in medical licensing cases.   In the event an administrative judge found for a physician, the Medical Board is allowed under the law to reverse that decision, without hearing the case. Physicians have been kept in the dark about Medical Board procedures, because rules of medical chart review are either created on a whim or may not have been promulgate at all. The recent Maryland Legislative Audit of the Board of Physicians emphasizes that this administrative entity has been derelict in its duties to act ethically and responsibly when carrying out its functions, the Board has done neither. One point that glaringly arises on the many reviews that this former doctor has come across, physicians in the ivory towers have been minimally stung by the political entity that licenses them. Several blatant examples of physicians who were sued numerous times and lost, were deliberately overlooked for review until the media became aware of this dichotomy.  Politically connected medical doctors, especially those associated with the two main university hospitals, would have to outright murder a patient before the Board of Physicians opens its eyes and blinks. Physicians most apt to be victimized by this rogue agency and the cretins who represent them are those in private practices who are not political dynamos. Maryland should have an independent agency that has the power to perform a deeper review of the Board of Physicians. They may find that medical board has committed acts that would be criminal under other circumstances. Mark Davis MD, author of Demons of Democracy.

Maryland Board of Medicine: Death to Due Process

Maryland Board Physicians: death of due process

Recent articles in this column concerning the Maryland Board of Physicians have generated a landslide of emails to this author from the physician populace. Relating stories of abusive peer review, these practitioners of the medical arts have been prosecuted civilly for a gamut of accusations. Collectively these legal interactions have a few glaring similarities. Due process has been abbreviated, circumvented and or abrogated totally. Maryland Attorney General’s office aggressively pursues cases against physicians in the name of the Board of Physicians and they don’t like to lose. Well known to most physicians who have been under the hammer of scurrilous Board of Physician actions is the deficit of written guidelines promulgated to perform medical record reviews. Physicians are left in virtual limbo because the Board and its legal minions can create regulatory structure as they process cases against your favorite physician. Most physicians are unaware that a book of fictitious standards of care exists somewhere in the Board’s inner sanctum. Judicial fingers have attempted to pry this opus from the Board of Physicians’ grasp without success. Yet physicians are subjected to its tenets at nearly every inquisition. Reactive not proactive, the Board has trivialized the practice of medicine by micromanaging and second guessing physician decisions. Composed of a group of people that is 40% non-physician, this politicized entity has very little expertise in the very field they are empowered to regulate. With the release of the scorching Legislative Audit against those who manage the Board of Physicians, a deeper concern arises from the muck. Maryland Attorney General’s Office collectively is supposed to know Maryland Law and carry it out as written, unfortunately they don’t. Strong evidence exists that the highest legal officers in the state have distorted, misrepresented and even outright lied to receptive Maryland Courts when processing physician cases. More egregious, Maryland’s Appellate Courts have legislated from the bench bypassing clearly written Maryland Law and Mandate to give a win to the Board and its legal counsel. Those who reside in the two ivory towers of medical elitism believe they are safe from the gunners that target physicians outside their domains, they are wrong. History of the elite displays they can be victimized too.  Every physician should read this report (Sunset Review of the Maryland Board of Physicians and the Related Allied Health Advisory Committees) to learn how Maryland is carelessly and reprehensibly managing medical licensing. Physicians have very little protection from the deleterious hands of this entity since their Medical Society is completely impotent. Those of you foolishly paying dues to this organization, think twice. Hard times for medicine are here, we don’t need an irresponsible administrative authority to make those times worse.

Maryland tax increases: unwise, unsatisfactory and unfortunate

Maryland tax increases: unwise, unsatisfactory and unfortunate

Maryland is a conservative’s greatest nightmare. Strip away reason, sensibility and rationality the remainder constitutes the mind of a Maryland politician. Liberal to the core and susceptible to the most superficial temptations these meager minds have once again proven that their reality is not ours. Proposed gasoline tax increases stacked on already high energy taxes does not bode well for the poor and middle class. Governor O’Malley fails to realize that his energy tax proposal at the gas pump is a double tax. Commercial entities will simply pass on the excess assessments onto those who can least afford them. Today’s state of the state message is not as rosy as the governor would have us believe. Maryland sits at the bottom third when those in the know discuss business friendly environments. O’Malley’s liberal mentality brings more suffering to those who already bear the brunt of this recession’s harsh punishment. Taxes should decrease to spur more investment in the state. Why care about investments when O’Malley’s mentor Obama is lavishing billions on the state for simply complying with his deleterious mandates. Maryland has been lost in the woods for a long time. Few can argue that the state has seen better days. O’Malley refuses to make the hard decisions that his official position requires, cut the budget by a third. The stench of waste and government fraud permeates the air around Annapolis and beyond. Higher taxes, along with other increases in government levies recently announced, trample on productivity and hurt those who have the least. Thankfully Maryland has term limits, but knowing the state electorate O’Malley’s clone will simply take his place. Mark Davis, MD author of Demons of Democracy.
