Why Healthcare and the Mafia are not so different.
This article is going to piss you off. It’s going to make you angry and then you are going to get a migraine and then you are going to visit your doctor for some hypertension medication and then you are going to realize that you just made more money for the ever growing profitable health care companies. The truth about healthcare is that it isn’t about health care, it’s about profit.
Did you know that Healthcare insurers, such as Aetna and UnitedHealth, are currently being traded in the stock market? If you know how the stock market works, you would be flabbergasted, outraged, beside yourself in dismay and a lot of other cool little soliloquies that express some concern, hopefully. If you don’t then this is a little crash course. When a company is in the stock market there sole interest is to provide profits for their shareholders. This means that they must try and find a way to make money on you migraine. Not only migraine but cancer, diabetes, heart disease and any other illness. The best way for these stocks to thrive is by not covering you as much as before, not enrolling people that are already sick (they take away from the bottom line), have holdings in the making of the medications that help you (i.e. the pharmaceutical companies), and to play hardball negotiations with hospitals and doctors on the prices they charge to save your life. Your life is not their first concern because if you have a long lasting illness that they have to cover, then they would rather see you die, that’s a little harsh but you are a profit sucking vampire that is taking good money from their shareholders. Now, they will 
never say this out loud. No, they’ll make all the nice commercials that show you healthy with their health insurance, now what sense does that make? If I’m healthy, why should I pay for health insurance? But there is a fix. A real simple one. Make it illegal for health insurers to be for profit. You should never profit on someone’s illness. The good thing is that these companies honestly want you stay healthy as possible, the bad thing is that is not reality and once you become ill, a serious illness, they want to drop you immediately or they want you to drop dead. The money that these people make is also insane. Do you know how many people you can help with 16.8 million dollars. I’m subtracting a reasonable 1 million compensation for his work as CEO of telling people no, we won’t cover that bill. There is a solution, it really is simple, ready, remove greed from the equation.
I think that as a CEO of a health insurance company, the max you should make is $150,000.00 yearly. Let’s do a little math, a company start-up business strategic plan that actually has people before profit. Let’s say you pay $200 a month in health insurance for yourself and $50 per child. Let’s say you have the average amount of children of 2.4 per household, ehhhh, in keeping with a civilized way of thinking, we won’t count the .4 child. I don’t even know what a .4 child would look like. That’s $300 monthly. Let’s say as CEO of Never Never health Insurance, I have 500 employees, including myself, making an average of $100,000 per year. That’s 50 million a year. What I rake in from healthcare fees if I had a million insurers is, let’s see, 300 times 1 million families per month times per 12 months, carry the one, where’s my calculator? It’s 3.6 billion a year. Add another cool 2.4 billion if both parents are covered. that brings us to, ehhh, where’s that calculator, 6 billion dollars. Are you telling me that I could not cover every illness for every subscriber that I have at 100% with 6 billion dollars a year? My bad, It’s actually 5.95 billion, forgot to pay my staff. Not only could I cover you, assuming that all my insured don’t 
come down with a serious illness at the same time, god forbid, but, since this would be a true non profit company, as they all should be, then at the end of the year, whatever is left over in the coffers would go directly back to the consumer. And let’s say that we had a really good year where no one visited the doctor, then you would only pay $60 a year for insurance that you didn’t use. Have to account for building and miscellaneous costs. That’s $5 a month for your whole family. That’s the incentive to stay as healthy as possible, the check you get at, let’s see, $440 a month times 12 months, ehhh, seriously why do I keep misplacing my calculator, $5,280 back if we have a really good year. That’s best case scenario.
This working business plan is very possible but it won’t come from anyone currently 
working in the Health insurance industry. No, these guys wouldn’t be able to afford yachts and fancy champagne if someone decided that healthcare is only meant to take care of people not CEO’s. And here’s the other great part, you could actually pay doctors, hospitals, nurses and all other medical professionals a little more because they are the ones that are actually helping you. If you reduce the Health Insurance companies payroll you actually increase the viability of actually getting good health insurance. Man, if someone ever decided to go ahead and start this company, 100% coverage at a minimal price, I would join it in a heartbeat.
Oh yeah, I forgot, the title of my article, well, because they both just want to rip you off, that’s why. I wonder if Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos feel like getting into the health insurance business, won’t make much money on the insurance company but I would buy there other products and their products only because I sure as hell wouldn’t want them to go out of business.
Political Opinion, mine and mine alone.
There’s a lot of to-do about a comment that the President might or might have not said. There’s certainly, and with good cause,a reason for the Demo’s to question the motives of the statement. Politics, as you have seen for the last 10 years, is about waiting and stomping on any off the cuff comment that might give you seats in the upcoming elections. I don’t blame anyone for the questioning of the remark but it sure did put a halt on good legislation while we’re analyzing “shithole countries”. Well, I have my take on that statement and that statement alone. I do it from a perspective of trying to see the neutrality of it and not being red or blue.
It is my opinion and my opinion alone that the President was criticizing these countries, if he actually did say it. The “countries” not the people. What’s the difference, plenty. How many times have we seen leaders of these impoverished countries get elected to office only to leave six, eight, ten years later with a bank account that has set them up for life. They’re now living in France or Spain or England or the U.S.. I’m not saying that the current leaders of these countries are embezzling but past leaders have. It is my feeling that he might have been criticizing the leaders of these countries, past or present, more than the people of the country and from a business stance, the actions that lead to extreme wealth to leaders while leaving the people impoverished, makes no sense. Had he said shithole people then there would have been no doubt but he didn’t.
I find it hard to condemn someone as a racist without it being 100% certain, especially an elected leader of a multi diverse nation like ours. I would hope that being a racist would be grounds for impeachment and dismissal from the highest office our country has to offer and/or for any publicly held office for that matter. The problem is that I have been called a racist. It didn’t matter that my wife was Colombian, my son half Colombian, my closest friend growing up was Puerto Rican, my closest friend in the military was white and my closest friend in the Border Patrol and who I asked to be my best man at my wedding was African American. So, with that being said, before I start calling someone the R word, I want to be absolutely and without a doubt in my heart sure that he or she is. Still, shithole countries is not very politically correct but the statement was said behind closed doors, I’m sure other Presidents have let their guard down and used colorful language before, to what extent and at whom, I don’t know. I don’t know how the President meant that comment, if he did say it, but that’s my take, for now.
What I do know is that this might have a chilling effect on any closed door meeting or bipartisan gathering in the future. I applaud the elected officials that stood up against the comment but from a logistical point of view I don’t know if it will play out right in the future. I might have put that card in my pocket for future use or maybe it was right to be transparent, again, I don’t know, only time will tell, we’ll see. One thing is for sure, there are some very stand up people in the Senate, on both sides of the aisle, willing to stand up to a remark that they do not quite agree with from the most powerful person in our country, good to see.

DACA. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or Delayed Approach Causing Animosity?
I think this conversation needs to be settled. This is why politics has so many people turned off and against each other. In one corner you have politicians that want to exploit an issue that puts people’s life at risk and in the other you have people, to no fault of their own, in a perilous position of being deported to a country that they don’t know, haven’t seen, maybe ever, and wouldn’t have the first clue what to do if they have to leave. It almost seems like a reality show. Survivor. I’m confident that the right thing will happen. After all the stance taking and chest puffing, I am confident, admittedly not as much as I used to be, that the right thing will be done and these individuals that are upstanding young soon to be citizens will get their day and be allowed a path to citizenship. These are hard times for them and I have seen this first hand, heard stories straight out of their mouths and witnessed some atrocities. I’m going to try and walk you through some events these people faced.
Prior to my job as an unrenowned blog splatterer, I used to work for the federal government. One of my jobs was as a Border Patrol Agent. The Border Patrol’s (BP), now known as U.S. Customs and Border Protection, duties were simply to affect arrests on anyone trying to circumvent customs and/or gaining entry into the United States illegally. 
I worked the southern border where California meets with Tijuana, Mexico and I did my job well, I like to think. I caught people from all nationalities like Mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, Cuban, El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, and a host of other countries. I didn’t particularly love my job but I didn’t hate it either. Regardless of all the hoopla, the position is necessary and the people that work for the BP are dedicated good people that put their lives on the line for the security of our country. They work some of the most perilous terrains and remote areas and try to deter the influx of illegal drugs as well as illegal entry. In my four years their I have run into some very good people, not my fellow ex- Agents but people crossing into the U.S..
A story I would like to share happened on the Tijuana Canal where the U.S. border meets the Mexican border. On this particular night I was working Whiskey 3 (W3), a hard X. This means that I was positioned at this location and was not to move, to act as a deterrence from people crossing. I hear a banging on the gate that leads into the canal and people yelling in Spanish. I go over to the gate and their were several people talking to me in Spanish saying that they were being robbed. I told them to back up and head over to the south side and I’ll go check it out. As I opened the gate and stepped into the canal, I asked W4 to keep an eye out on me as I entered the canal, you never know. As I stepped closer to the border, a yellow line that runs north to south, to peak around the fence, I kept telling this group of 5 to keep backing up to the south side, pointing my flashlight at their faces and hands to make sure they weren’t armed. They had a terrified look on their faces, they didn’t want to go. They wanted to stay on the north side. As I approached I kept telling them to back up, “Muevance para atras”, (use google translate), Still terrified, they were begging me to help. I get to where the yellow line separates the two countries and look around the corner and see a big man grabbing another man by the shirt, as he laid on the ground pointing a gun, an old .38 revolver, at him. The man on the ground 
had one hand on the ground and the other shielding his face. The big man yelling at him to give him all his money. The actions I took right after that lasted about ten seconds. I pull my Beretta from my holster, tell the people to cross over to the north side and stay out of the way, and to get against the fence, radioed W4 and told him to make sure they didn’t make a break to the north side and radioed dispatch to inform of the situation. They said they would contact the PD on the south side, I told them don’t bother, he’s a Federale, Mexican police officer. I shine my light on him and yelled “Que Haces”. My weapon is now behind my right quad and my flashlight is trained on the Federales face. He looks at me and uses couple of choice words. My dispatch informs that I am not, for any reason, to cross the border, that I must remain on the north side. I don’t respond, just kept my focus on the Federale and his gun. If he had pointed that weapon at me, I would have been able to defend myself, I was hoping that it wouldn’t come to that. By the Federales slurred speech and wobbling stance, I was guessing he had a little too many Tequilas. The confrontation, that seemed like a lifetime, lasted all of 30 seconds. He kept telling me that it wasn’t any of my business, mixed with some language that his mother would wash his mouth out with soap with. I yelled something, don’t even remember what language it was, could have been Spanish, could have been English, could have been Swahili by the confused look on his face. He finally looks down at the man on the ground, back at me, then pushes the man down with some force and turns, holsters his weapon and leaves. I relayed to my dispatch that incident ws over and that the assailant had left. I was at the right place at the right time, could have easily been the wrong place at the wrong time if Senor Tequila felt like becoming the Mexican Wyatt Earp. The now illegal entrants, 20 feet into the north side, thanked me. I stayed there talking to them for a while. They told me that they had been there for about two weeks and that they have been robbed prior, it wasn’t the first time. They told me about their families in their country and how they left their loved ones because there was no work where they lived. A mixed gang of men and 1 woman. They were risking their lives because they needed to feed their children. I asked him how much did the guy take and he just got the one persons cash. The other ones left as soon as he made his presence known with the .38. I gave them my left over food, half a club sandwich from Denny’s and fries and told them if he returns to come back to the gate and that I would bring them north until he left. You want to hear another. This one will make you scratch your head.
I was on the swing shift, working overtime on Rover patrol, when scope, an agent working heat sensing cameras, calls out a group of 4 crossing. I get to the location where they were spotted and quickly see them low crawling. When they spot me they get up and run. They run through a group of bushes. Two feet on the other side of these pushes was a Cholla Cactus, I’m guessing. It was the type of cactus that grows in small pieces and when you run into them, parts of them come off. The reason I know that, is because I ran right deadsmack into them. I can’t express how much that hurt and how dumb I felt. It hurt because I was running at full speed, try it, run full speed into a cactus. I felt dumb because, while I looked like a linebacker arresting this cactus for illegal growing, the small group of 4 managed to bank right and avoid the cactus. At this point I yelled out, like a man that ran into a cactus full speed. The group stopped, looked back and came to help me. They told me to stand still. They grabbed my pants and pulled it off my leg, removing the cactus from my leg. They were clear. They had open space and a direct route down the mountain into Imperial Beach. They didn’t do it. They helped me instead. They pulled that cactus off of me like people that had done this on prior occasions. What did I do to thank them. I deported them. Actually, I thanked them for their kindness, shook their hand and them told them that I couldn’t let them go. to their credit, they completely understood. I didn’t take them in and fingerprint them, take their picture and get their details for the system, no, but I told them that right now, straight down the path they were taking, there were already two other agents waiting for them. Redundancy. They looked down and just smiled. I pulled my Bronco up to the fence and told them, hop back over and that where they tried to cross was full of security cameras and sensors. That I wished I could help but……I said, I can’t tell you that about 500 feet west there was a sensor that wasn’t working correctly and that crossing at night was giving us problems. I can’t tell you that. I can’t tell you that it will be fixed by tomorrow morning, nope, I would get in trouble. They climbed on the hood of my truck and hopped over. That was the last time I ever seen them. Don’t know if they are part of DACA, I hope so.
This portrayal of illegal people, (not aliens, martians are aliens, they are people), as some kind of monsters that are here to harm us are completely false, for the most part. Don’t
mix them up as all being drug runners or mules. They’re not, while admittedly some are, but very few. Most are looking to support their families, exactly what all of us would do if we were in their position. I’m not lobbying for open borders, I don’t think it’s wise to have open borders but I am urging common sense. The DACA program is meant for people that have been here for a while and we didn’t even know they were among us. We didn’t know because they have caused no trouble, have not been arrested, work (they can’t be on any social program) and are productive. These people basically assimilated in the best possible way. The criteria they face forces them to do that.
My blame for the stall of this program is going to be tough to hear. I could be mixed up but it seems that the Democratic criticisms on President Trump has left him unwilling to approach the subject at this time. I’m going to try and be as diplomatic as possible about this situation and refuse to take sides. On one hand you have the President who knows that this is a tool to mend bridges with the left but isn’t quite “feeling the love” so he is deciding to hold off and the other you have the Democratic Caucus who feels that this shouldn’t be a political issue but a humanitarian one and should be passed immediately, without “giving the love”. In the middle you have innocent people, innocent in that they were forced to migrate as children, that are hoping the differences can be resolved. For the President, having people, that already here and assimilated, working and paying taxes is the easiest solution to counting them as basically visas delivered through the lottery. He can count them to the quota that the government gives out each year and, bonus, they are proven good people that are already paying taxes. From a business point of view, and the President is a businessman, not so much a politician but that’s the platform he ran on, that is a huge win. For the left, if they can find a way to reconcile their differences somehow, they get their legislative win and more importantly they helped those people that they were trying to help. It really is a 
win-win situation if both sides can find something positive to say about each other. Everyone in government feels like this the right thing to do. Please don’t let petty differences get in the way of what can be a monumental moment of solidarity. We are the world’s leaders in front of the cameras, meaning everyone watches our every step. Let us show them what we are capable of.
You want to hear something ironic, I ended leaving the BP into another position within the government, met a wonderful woman who happened to be illegal, married her, had a child and had to leave my job because I lied about where I met her. True story. The whole thing, not just the ending.
This story, while written with good intentions, is poorly written and reads a little rough. Doesn’t really captivate the reader the way I wanted to, I got bored trying to edit it. To my credit though, I did manage to introduce the word hoopla into the story. There’s that, I guess.
“QUOTE OF THE DAY”
You can’t control the masses, that’s what religion and governments are for. Jails and graves are for the uncontrollable.
What killed America? Politics.
Why are we so captivated with politics that it actually turns people against each other? The new civil war in America, and around the world, has nothing to do with Marvel super heroes, it has to do with American politics. Me, for one, would rather enjoy my life dong anything else other than thinking about politics. There are so many beautiful places to visit, sporting events to go to, concerts I would love to attend (Earth, Wind and Fire still my favorite concert I have been to even though Lenny Kravitz was pretty good as well but that could have been because of the contact high I enjoyed while I was there), bars and restaurants to enjoy, books to read, naps to take, parties to get drunk at and ruin (yeah, I was that guy once, just once though) to think about what politics the guy or girl next to me is supporting. The constant bombardment of crazy political analyzation in every possible media and social outlet is just over the top. It feels like sometimes it’s being forced on me with every news show, talk show, magazine, newspaper and whisper that goes on. Is there anything else going on in the world? Seriously, I have no idea, because politics is on everything.
I have no problem telling people how I voted. I voted Bernie Sanders. He didn’t make the
cut so I tossed a coin because I didn’t see any difference between the candidates that were left. The coin said Hillary, how can a coin toss be wrong so I voted Hillary. The coin toss was wrong. That coin is now enjoying its life in some street meter. Donald Trump won and you know what, I hope he’s the best President this country has ever seen, why would I want anything else. Just because he wasn’t my first choice, I should now make a voodoo doll of him and say tweet all the time, somebody must have done that. I hope he leads us to the best economical, global, health and ideological success that this country has ever seen. Those might not be the right terminology for what I’m trying to express but I think you get the point. I hope he is so successful that he gains the respect and admiration of the U.S. public and wins with a wide margin, not because he is a Republican, but because he did such a great job that you just can’t ignore it and would have to vote for the guy because we were so prosperous. And I hope whoever replaces President Trump in 2020 or 2024 is even better and so on. Now that’s a trend I would love to see. Every President is better than the next. What is the likelihood of that happening, I have better chance of hitting the lottery, dating J Lo, catching a Leprechaun and holding my breath and floating to the moon. Not because it isn’t possible to create that trend, (great presidents not the lottery… J Lo…. leprechaun… moon thing, even though we can try both) people just don’t want it to happen. They want someone to hate for something.
Take President Obama’s presidency for instance. When he was elected, Congress immediately came out and said we are not working with this guy. OK, well that doesn’t affect you as much as it affects the country. Why not? Now President Trump faced immediate backlash before even passing one piece of legislation. Chants of recount and fixed were ringing out quicker than Usain Bolt’s finish in the Olympics. While the two President’s handled their criticism in different ways, they were both criticized immediately. No feeling in process, no wait and see how he does, just immediate opposition. Then you have the American public mimicking these actions on one another and the politicians can’t comprehend where all the bad blood and violence is coming from. They’re watching CSPAN and losing their minds and beating and killing each other. Islamaphobia, racism, homophobia, heterophobia (that’s a new one to me but it exists), people losing their wig and shooting each other and running each other over, sexism and a crap load of other phobias, isms and crazy stuff. It would be amiss of me to blame politics or politicians for all these things but the reality is that if our leaders can’t get along, publicly, why do they expect us to be any different. I would rather that they discuss politics in private, try their best to come to a consensus on all matters and avoid going to the public unless it’s absolutely necessary. I understand the urge to tell the public but I elected you to handle it. Honestly, the less I know the better. I’m in overload. When a consensus can’t be reached, then let the masses know. We’ll picket, march, do sit-downs, sit-ups, cart wheels and cry, if necessary but if I’m doing that on a constant basis, then what affect will it really have. Work together, find common goals, unite the country for goodness sakes and every once in a while, pat the guy on the other side of the aisle on the back for their open mindness. Plus, it isn’t like you tell me the good stuff like the NSA tracking or how David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear, you just tell me that the President said a bad word, (not minimizing the situation if he actually was referring to a group of people, I just don’t know how much of that was politics and how much of it is real, people sometimes tend to exaggerate or deliberately emphasize the negative if it suits their need, I know this from personal experience), or that people hate each other on twitter. I dare a politician from the opposite side to give a compliment to an opposing member for a good piece of legislation on national TV. Fuck, the world might just blow up. Not just once, every time you get to the dais say I would like to thank this colleague, on the opposing political party, for his work on this project. Nah, I’m on the look out for that leprechaun. There’s a way better chance.
This is all to easy for me to say, I write a blog that no one reads, so I have the luxury of criticizing. I wouldn’t want to do their jobs. I know it’s extremely difficult at times. Sen. Flake of Arizona is one of the latest victims of a seemingly dysfunctional government by how it appears in the media. He seems like a liberal conservative and took the hit. Sen. Flake decided to bow out because everyone wants to be so extreme or that’s the way it looked like to me in all these media outlets. When the mayor of London says he doesn’t want President Trump to appear and then a mob of people try to affect a civil arrest, the world has gone crazy and our dysfunctionalness, (there’s a red line under that word so I’m guessing I just made up that word) has spread around the world.
It’s important to note that I don’t agree with every decision the current President has made nor the previous President for that matter. If anyone reads this blog they’ll only see what they want. Some will say he is a Trump supporter while some will say he hates Trump. Both are false and part of your dysfunctional method of interpreting things. I’ll make my decision in November 2020. Both parties have some constructive ideas on how to repair things, people just have to listen and give the idea some honest looking over. Don’t just dismiss it because he isn’t in your party or you didn’t think of it. To this day, the best thing I ever heard from a President is still from former President Bill Clinton when he approached the idea of limiting welfare and making sure that people that received welfare could also go to school so they could learn a trade or a profession and wouldn’t be demoralized or become complacent in their own abilities to achieve greater things. Clinton’s response when they said that is was John Engler’s idea, Republican Governor of Michigan, was that he didn’t base good ideas on political parties, just on the merit of the idea itself. He didn’t care where it came from, only that it worked for the betterment of the country.
I’m a fan of the conservative Liberals and liberal Conservatives. People that I think tend to lean towards the middle and have an open mind on subjects and only care on the functionality of the law that is being passed, like Bill Clinton, Dwight Eisenhower and Abraham Lincoln. These Presidents are also known as moderates. You don’t have to believe me now but George W. Bush will fall in that list as well. Funny how people were on his case for being ultra-conservative but, like I stated in previous posts, he passed some very moderate laws. Maybe because we bitched so much, but not every second………….huh, something to think about I guess.
FACT OF THE DAY!

Legalizing Steroids
There has been a lot of talk about legalizing marijuana in the past few days. Talks of who supports the laws and who opposes them. News of people taking a stand and how that would hurt their electability in public office. Stats on how much revenue the sale of the narcotic would bring and how many people would be employed by this industry, if only the powers to be would let it thrive. But that’s it, it’s the revenue that really matters. Money is an alluring Muse that transcends all boundaries. It doesn’t matter your gender, race, sexual preference, age or disability, this allure does not discriminate. It makes people do things that they wouldn’t dream of doing otherwise. There’s a show based on that premise, Fear Factor, wait… there’s another one, The Amazing Race,… still some more Bachelor, Big Brother, Survivor…. just plug in any reality show name there and you get the picture. All these people are doing crazy, outlandish things for money. the end result is that you want the prize that lays at the end of that neurotic syndication and the more neurotic you are, the better chance of you winning that prize. Money. What do they say about money…. “it takes money to make money”… no that’s not it, “a fool and his money are soon departed”..true but not the one I was looking for…..got it…”Money is the root of all evil”, it’s actually “The love of money is the root of all evil”. When all you can say about a product is that it will make you money, then you are lost. you are no good for a civil society that should cherish other virtues over money. If you want to tout a product that is currently illegal to buy over the counter and only used for medicinal purposes, then tell me what good it’s going to do. How will this product improve life? How will it help? In the curious case of marijuana legalization, there really isn’t a way to do that. There is one product that you can legalize, make a crap load of revenue on and it actually helps people, with way less negative side effects than marijuana. It’s testosterone and human growth hormones.
The fact about getting old is that no one really wants to. We all want to stay young and in shape and live a productive life. Love our significant others forever, I’m talking about libido ofcourse, and feel as young as possible. Aging is difficult for some and easier for others. It all depends on your past habits of eating right and exercising. There’s an old saying in boxing, the only true undefeated fighter in boxing is father time. We all get to that point where we aren’t the person we used to be, but how about if we can slow down the aging process. Would you be interested?
So, which person would you rather be, the one getting knocked out or the person doing the knocking out, figuratively, not literally.
Facts on anti-aging hormones differ depending on who you talk to. Some doctors will tell you that using these products will only lead to destruction of your regular hormonal balance and will eventually create more harm than good while other say that, if used properly and not abused, then the side effects are minimal and the positive results far outweigh any negative result. Let’s be real for a second. I want you to choose, in my right hand I have a marijuana cigarette, it will get you high, you will laugh a lot, you will eat a lot, you will get nothing done, you will eat again, you will beef up… not in the right way because potato chip are all carbs and you will eventually pass out. In my left hand, I have a bottle of anti-aging product, you will feel great, you will go for a run, you will be productive, you will get things done, you will have energy to play with your kids, you will socialize, you will go for another run and then you will pass out, from exhaustion because you did so many things. Which would you rather have?
Let us talk about the revenue. the big hype in legalizing marijuana is the revenue it will bring. Do Anti-aging products bring in just as much? Anti-aging products are said to bring 191.7 billion dollars globally. What!?!?!? And that’s just anti-wrinkle cream and botox and things of that nature. What do you think will happen when you give them something they can actually use in their bodies to help things like osteoporosis, which is a by-product of the slowly withering testosterone in both men and women. So there you go, not only did I just give you a better selling item, I linked it to a positive side effect that it will actually provide. It helps other diseases as well like obesity, depression, joint pain and cardio vascular disease as testostserone is linked to the build up of fatty plaque in your circulatory system. Keep in mind that I’m talking about reasonable usage not Schwarzenegger levels.
Moderation is key, in both men and women. You would have to get your blood levels checked yearly and not exceed the recommended amounts for your sex.
The problem in anti-aging, as in marijuana, is the tendency to abuse the product. This where you would have to make sure that you regulate the product by pre packaging it in a ready to go hypodermic and allow only one per customer. If not, well then you can look like this.
The goal is to be fit and happy, not bench press a car or in the case of the person below, to become that big where going to the bathroom might prove difficult.
Right now, there is no movement to legalize these hormones. There should be, if used properly, it could create a better way of living. Mind you. I’m blogging, I’m not a doctor but I researched these facts from credible sources like CDC website and webmd that is ran by the mayo clinic, not steroid sites. Those sites also say that prolonged use of these products will eventually lead to a number of difficulties. This is why it’s important to educate yourself on how they work and realize that you should take time off from using them to give your body a rest. But this is true for all drugs, including marijuana. Eventually using these products will shorten your life span. Not using them will probably allow you to live 10 years longer. So, if your were planning on doing a ton of things between the ages of 82 to 92, then you should probably not use these items. If you weren’t, then maybe it’s the right product for you. Mind you, I’m only putting this out as an alternative to legalizing marijuana.
