I am not a medical doctor; I am a doctor for educational management. I do researches but I don’t think my researches can meet the standards of my venerable doctor friend who respects only researches done by Harvard. According to him, researches must be evidenced based.

My researches are personal, anecdotal reports based on my pathway to wellness. For me my researches are based on evidences! I validate my personal experiences against published findings about my health challenges.I understand that this type of sampling at best will be considered as mere anecdotal reports by medical practitioners more so by those who practise pharmacological medicine.

In the 90s I was still covered by an HMO, not anymore since 2003. Ironically, the elderly when they need an HMO the most can no longer be covered. Anyway, while I was still covered by n HMO, the attending physicians would shake their heads when I would be confined. They just could not pinpoint what was wrong with me. I would always be a marginal case in all blood and other medical tests. I know secretly they must have considered me a case of psychosomatic illness. However, one manifest evidence was my voice problem which forced me to resign from a leching job.

I was treated for hypertension because the readings proved it. When my hypertension normalized my voice problem persisted. I was sent to a psychiatrist. Now, I know it must have been a ploy to rid the HMO of  their perceived unnecessary expense. Of course, the fee of the psychiatrist was not reimbursable! Understandably I had to take steps to handle my health issues.
