Call it interesting or …?
January 30, 2009 by SUM.
My dear Readers:
I feel it’s the right moment again to write something noteworthy.
Firstly, I wish you all the best for the coming year and the company of good and truthful friends.
Secondly, I would like to share with you a recent discovery. And you can call it interesting or ?
Like many others I had followed the election process, the election ceremonies, and the inauguration day. On the day of the inauguration I decided to look up the US Presidents on the Wikipedia site. There I noticed something that I found at the least to say interesting because it shows again some unique data links to my personal data.
To explain this matter clearly I mention at first the Presidents I’m referring to:
12. President: Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850)
13. President: Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) - Inauguration date: July 9, 1850
35. President (actually 34th President Person): John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
36. President (actually 35th President Person): Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973) - Inauguration date: November 22, 1963
Most presidents came into office either in January, March, April, August, or September. Only 2 presidents came into office in July and November. And these are Millard Fillmore and Lyndon Baines Johnson with whom I share some important data.
1. The 13. President replaced the 12. President. My father died on 12/13.
2. Millard Fillmore became the 13. President on July 9, 1850. I married on July 9.
3. My destiny number is number 7, and Millard Fillmore was born on day 7, which is his invigoration number.
4. The 36. President, Lyndon Baines Johnson who replaced the 35. President, came into office on the birthday of my boyfriend Michael Pasig (November 22) who I also mention in my book. I would like to mention here that the birthday of my boyfriend should be checked because I heard from a third source that this day had been his birthday.
5. Lyndon Baines Johnson’s birthday is on the day (August 27) I immigrated to the USA.
6. The number 7 shows up in Johnson’s life when adding up all numbers of his inauguration day (11+22+1963=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7) and his day of death (1+22+1973=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7).
7. The number 7 also shows up noticeably in Kennedy’s life when adding up all numbers of his birth date (5+29+1917=1951 and 1+9+5+1=16 and 1+6=7) and his day of death (11+22+1963=1996 and 1+9+9+6=25 and 2+5=7).
Now, to sum this up, I find these data connections at the least striking.

Oprah’s online class
March 25, 2008 by SUM.
A couple weeks ago I decided to participate in Eckhart Tolle’s and Oprah’s New Earth classes, which are delivered through webcast streaming over the Internet.
The classes start every Monday night for 10 weeks starting March 3 at 9/8c. Oprah and other people ask Eckhart questions that deal with his most recent book A New Earth - Awakening to your Life’s Purpose.
To participate in this class one is asked to read his latest book. Therefore I ordered at the beginning of February 2008 two of his books, The Power of Now and A New Earth. I found both books very enlightening and in concurrence with my life experiences and shift in consciousness, and the writings in my book.
I also find the class very interesting and it’s a pleasure to see that others feel the same way. I also have questions for Eckhart, therefore I asked him yesterday another question, and I referred to his book pg. 277.
If you feel the stillness or nothingness while standing extremely close to another person and later you notice a commonality, is that a proof of “a deeper connectedness” (see pg. 277; the number 277 is my numerical equivalent; in my book I point out that even Jung believed that the spheres of matter and psyche have a tangible connection through numbers)?
You probably have experienced the same thing. Sometimes we ask a question though we already know subconsiously the answer. Namaste!

A creative way to quit smoking
September 1, 2007 by SUM.
Yesterday, I read an article about the damaging effects that the carcinogens in cigarettes have on women, and the stories of four women who quit the habit and became nonsmokers. Today, I read in my hometown’s newspaper that a smoking ban is enacted, covering all public transportations and government agencies in Germany. Even in Germany, smokers are less welcomed.
Since I know from first-hand how hard it is to quit smoking, I like to share my own story so that you learn of another stop-smoking trick. This creative way certainly worked for me. Now, I’m a non-smoker for over 10 years.
It all started in early 1996 when I came down with a severe bronchitis. I couldn’t smoke a cigarette for about three weeks; breathing and smoking was just too painful. After the bronchitis was gone, I decided that I wanted to quit smoking. Therefore I thought of a method that would ease the nicotine withdrawal and break the habit of holding a cigarette in my hand.
First and foremost, I decided that I never again wanted to inhale nicotine smoke from a lit cigarette. Though I kept on lighting a cigarette for about three quarter of a year, I never again fully inhaled the smoke. I only lit the cigarette and smoked it like a pipe without inhaling the smoke. This method already changed the taste of smoking. The cigarette itself tasted pretty nasty. Since the taste of the cigarette itself was so disgusting, I lit less and less cigarettes during the withdrawal process. Over time I weaned myself away from a nicotine addiction and broke free of a smoking routine, and eventually stopped altogether.
I haven’t smoked a cigarette for over 10 years. I used to love it, but now I neither like the smell of it nor do I have any cravings for it. And my taste and smell sense are now much better than they were when I had been a smoker.
Keep in mind, if you really like to quit smoking, it actually starts with the conscious decision to quit smoking. Thereafter, you will have to find a method that accommodates your way of changing habits, and the commitment of following through with it. As so many others have done it, including myself, it’s doable.

Fatoumata’s annual progress report
August 30, 2007 by SUM.
Recently, I received a letter from a World Vision worker, which included the 2007 annual progress report for Fatoumata, a picture of her, and a drawing made by Fatoumata. Due to privacy concerns, I’ll not display a picture of Fatoumata on the web site. But I can show you how the report looks like. As you can see from the report below, the information given is in regards to her health, school activities, her hobbies and contribution to her family life.

Injuries after preventive medical checkup - Part X
July 24, 2007 by SUM.
After having visited different physicians including a gastroenterologist on May 9, 2005 and having different lab tests done, I received from an investigation company, ordered by my insurance company, a letter inquiring whether someone else is responsible for paying the medical bills. I wish I could have told them that someone else is responsible. But the physicians I had contacted either had shrugged off the problem or told me that they thought that the x-ray machines had not caused the damage.
I know that I had been perfectly healthy before I underwent these two preventive procedures: mammogram and DEXA scan. Since the nail of my thumb had been burnt and the DEXA scanner had been close to my thumb, I believe now that the damage occurred during the DEXA scan procedure, but I didn’t have the proof neither then nor now.
Though the symptoms are gone, I don’t know what kind of effect this will have on my body in the future. And besides being sick for almost a half-year and feeling very uncomfortable because of not knowing how this had happened, I was additionally punished by paying always these $20.00 co-payments per doctor visit and for lab tests. But the worst part was being sick and nobody cared to investigate why this had happened.

Communicating while sponsoring
July 22, 2007 by SUM.
World Vision makes it very easy to communicate with your sponsored child. If your child cannot write yet or a language barrier exists, a World Vision worker will write you in the name of the sponsored child. The child I’m sponsoring is fife years old and speaks French.
Though I learned French in school, my French language skills are very modest. But I would like to write in French to this girl. Recently, I received a letter from World Vision that included a neat birthday card for Fatoumata with an age-appropriate drawing puzzle on the back of the card.
I took this opportunity and wrote a brief birthday wish in French on the card and mailed it to World Vision, which will deliver the card to Fatoumata. She will get the card way ahead of her birthday, which is in November.
I hope Fatoumata will enjoy the card as well as her birthday celebration with other kids of her family and community members, and I’ll hear from her through her World Vision worker.

Invisible fence
July 17, 2007 by SUM.
A couple years ago I saw a car parked, with the words “Invisible Fence” painted on it, on a parking lot at an Antique Mall, which I visited quite often. You all have heard the words “glass ceiling”. It is an invisible but unmistakable barrier; not only on the career ladder of a woman, but also of another member of a demographic minority within an organization.
Due to my experiences here in the Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle area, I’m experiencing another kind of barrier, or let’s call it discriminatory boundary. I know I’m entitled to the claims described under Crest Night Effects. As of today, I have written more than 40 attorneys in this area and informed them of my two claims that call for taking legal action. But nobody showed serious interest in helping me in this matter. Some replied, while the majority kept silent. A few attorneys actually gave me either odd and/or incompetent counsel.
I believe that some of my experiences were not only purposefully orchestrated, but also meant with the intent to mislead. Read the articles about the Lake Washington Technical College. My experiences there had been purposefully manipulated, too. And these aren’t the only places, where I experienced purposefully planned manipulation and deception.

Injuries after preventive medical checkup - Part IX
July 10, 2007 by SUM.
While having these weird symptoms in my mouth, I was also pretty tired. I felt like energy had been drained from me. I’m not exactly sure when it started that I felt constantly tired. In my journal on March 26, 2005 is the entry that I had been pretty tired for the past few weeks. This condition stayed with me for quite some time while the symptoms in my mouth got worse.
At the end of April 2005, I spoke with my cousin in Vancouver, and we talked about my symptoms in my mouth. Over a period of four months the discomfort in my mouth had developed in stages:
Dry mouth, less saliva, metallic taste, taste of bitterness on gum.
Outbreak of rash in my mouth.
Dry mouth, salivary function lost; I wasn’t able to produce any saliva the natural way for at least 2-3 weeks.
Producing very frothy saliva, constantly extreme salty taste in my mouth for at least 2-3 weeks.
While the physicians just told me that they didn’t know why I had these problems in my mouth, I informed myself on the Internet. When I didn’t produce any saliva anymore and nobody cared to examine the source of this problem, I was pretty desperate. On the Internet I had read the following:
- Oral dryness is usually accompanied by a severe reduction in the secretion of unstimulated salivation. The severity of dryness can vary depending on the amount of salivary function lost.
- Saliva is essential for digesting foods and fending of infections. It also prevents the development of caries.
The remedy for this condition was either to use artificial saliva to moisten the mouth, or to promote salivary flow by chewing sugar-free chewing gum if residual salivary function is left.
For a few weeks I was constantly chewing gum until my salivary glands were restored to function again without external stimulation.
In May of 2005 I had no doubt anymore that my salivary glands had been damaged. Therefore the question was, why and when had it happened? I had not undergone any radiation therapy, but I had been exposed twice within a month to x-rays. Shortly after I had undergone the preventive procedures of mammogram and DEXA scan, radiation symptoms appeared (burnt nail in January, unusual tingling sensations in mouth beginning of February). Therefore I believed that I had received an overdose of radiation during at least one of these procedures.
While I had these symptoms I talked to several people about this. I also spoke with a friend in Germany who had studied medical technology. She told me that if the x-ray machine is not operated properly, a person could enter a higher radiation dosage. And if the machine is not calibrated properly, a higher dosage can be given, too.
During that time I consulted with different physicians who just shrugged with their shoulders and said they didn’t know what had caused these symptoms. There was a lack of concern to find out the source of the problem, and nobody cared to refer me to another physician who perhaps could have helped me to deal with this situation another way instead of just having my blood checked for metal poisoning and a brief saliva test at the beginning of this ordeal.

Injuries after preventive medical checkup - Part VIII
July 4, 2007 by SUM.
After the emergency consultation with Dr. N. at Minor & James I called the nurse assistant from Dr. H. several times. Though I had left messages on her answering machine, she didn’t call me back. When the symptoms got worse, having not only constantly a metallic taste in my mouth but also a very dry mouth because of not producing enough saliva, I scheduled an appointment through the appointment phone line with Dr. H. for Wednesday, 13th April.
At this time I didn’t want to switch the medical clinic and/or physician again. Therefore I decided to consult once more with Dr. H. My appointment with him was set up for Wednesday, 11:00 AM. I was at the clinic on time and registered at the front desk.
After I had been waiting for 30 minutes and not been called in his office, I inquired about how long I still had to wait. The desk clerks told me that he lets people sometimes wait for fife hours, and they asked me whether I wanted to re-schedule. I declined to re-schedule.
I not only was sick, but I also was prepared to have a cholesterol test done on that day. Dr. H. had advised me the last time I had seen him, not to eat anything when I would see him the next time. Therefore I arrived at the clinic with an empty stomach so that a cholesterol test could be done on the same day, too.
While waiting I read a magazine and spoke to a Minor & James employee who sat for a while next to me. She had the label Datarecords on her shirt. I waited for a long time until I knew that letting me wait so long was not only not appropriate but also part of a planned action. At 12:30 PM I insisted on seeing a nurse, and the nurse assistant from Dr. H. showed up. I asked her why she hadn’t answered my phone calls. Her reply was that I had asked about my test results and she prioritizes. I thought that these actions were not professional either. Afterwards she told me that someone else would take care of me, and she left for lunch with a black sports bag.
Here I would like to mention that I didn’t know the people I consulted with. Since I knew that their actions and behavior was neither appropriate nor justified I kept a very detailed journal.
When I entered the room of D. H. on that day, it had been a little bit re-arranged; a chessboard was sitting on a counter, more family pictures and a boy standing in front of a cross were displayed. I just thought that this didn’t look like the usual examination room.
I told him of my symptoms in my mouth: metallic taste and very dry mouth. Since I had no idea why I had now constantly, for the past few weeks, a metallic taste in my mouth, I asked him to test for some metals in my blood, too. After he had filled out the form for ordering lab tests, he said to me that I could decide now whether I want to see him again.
I had to wait for a while in the lab’s waiting room. While waiting there a young guy who wore glasses entered the waiting room. He held a digital camera in his hands. He actually sat next to me leaving an empty chair between us and played with the camera. While waiting a nurse whose nametag was M. came in and got herself some water from the water dispenser. I just knew that his and her appearance as well as many other actions had been planned, too.
Nurse A. drew again blood from me. I asked him to use the vein of my arm, but he said that he’ll use a small needle and he pulled the needle out of his coat pocket. This time he filled six vials.
While I was in a small room where blood is drawn, I was a bit nervous to contemplate about the events on this day, but later I felt very uncomfortable about the experiences on this day, specifically about the nurse pulling the needle out of his coat pocket. I recalled the words from the other nurse and the reaction on my arm after she had injected me with a needle.
That day I left Minor & James at about 2:30 PM. I was hoping that the tests results would give some hint at the strange symptoms (constantly metallic taste and very dry mouth due to not producing enough saliva). Dr. H. didn’t recommend any other procedure to examine further the cause of these symptoms.
Now, I’m actually appalled about the different experiences I encountered while contacting various health care professionals in this area. With time it became obvious that something was definitely wrong. I not only was ill-treated without receiving accurate medical care, but also misled by people who neither knew me nor I knew them.
