Dear Friends and Fellow Veterans:
       People wonder why so many Combat Veterans and supported families of Veterans are so sour about the way the VA treats us....   but our howling is justified !   I have first hand experience of this horrible experience and abuse.

DISGUSTING: Guess How Many Vets Died Waiting for VA Care

Posted on September 3, 2015

This is just sickening. This administration will go down in history for it’s contempt for veterans. A new report from the inspector general is revealing that more than 300,000 veterans died while waiting for health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

We substantiated the second allegation that pending ES records included entries for individuals reported to be deceased. As of September 2014, more than 307,000 pending ES records, or about 35 percent of all pending records, were for individuals reported as deceased by the Social Security Administration. However, due to data limitations, we could not determine specifically how many pending ES records represent veterans who applied for health care benefits. These conditions occurred because the enrollment program did not effectively define, collect, and manage enrollment data. In addition, VHA lacked adequate procedures to identify date of death information and implement necessary updates to the individual’s status. Unless VHA officials establish effective procedures to identify deceased individuals and accurately update their status, ES will continue to provide unreliable information on the status of applications for veterans seeking enrollment in the VA health care system.
We substantiated the third allegation that employees incorrectly marked unprocessed applications as completed and possibly deleted 10,000 or more transactions from the Workload Reporting and Productivity (WRAP) tool over the past 5 years. While the HEC often deleted transactions for legitimate purposes, such as the removal of duplicate transactions, information security deficiencies within WRAP limited our ability to review some issues fully and rule out manipulation of data.

Good info if you've not read this before. It's worth your time. Have a blessed day. 

MAYO CLINIC - DRINKING WATER

This is indeed good information. A cardiologist determined that heart attacks can be triggered by dehydration. Now I carry a bottle of water wherever I go. aspirin is also a good idea!

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night!!

Heart Attack and Water - Drink 1 glass of water before going to bed avoids stroke or heart attack! I never knew all of this!

Interesting.......
Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time.

Answer from my Cardiac Doctor:

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell).  When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me.

Correct time to drink water... Very Important.
From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack I can also add to this...

My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.

Mayo Clinic on Aspirin -
Dr. Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is the lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, When the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.   The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would  be strongest in your system.

Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest; for years. (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know.
Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks - There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however,  these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up.

However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.  Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. - Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for the their arrival and ........DO NOT LIE DOWN!

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

I have already shared this information. What about you?

"Life is a one time gift" (Let's forward and hope this will help save some!!!)

If you've seen this before, reading it again will just reinforce it!

Friends:
    We already knew that our economic situation and the world's is rocky already,  but I have written something on my calendar 14 days from now...  give or take, and I truly expect a dangerous weather season, and a harsh Winter.   And with the "presidential sanctioned" war on cops, we can expect more racial tensions, too.   I think that is what Obama was hoping for anyway -- so he can declare martial law.   I'll bet guns and ammo., are flying off the store shelves right now, too.    But NOW is THE time to draw closer to our Lord and Savior!   Somewhere between N OW, and the Tribulation, we can expect the Rapture to come,  but hard times are already here now.  

The way I see it,  if we loved another person and even said it was so,  would we not want to get to know that person....  even if they were far away, and writing letters was the only means of communication ??   I have the 'war time' experience in Vietnam, and had to admit that I got a few, "Dear John" letters, while over there.   I wanted to settle down and get married after and IF I got home alive and in one piece, and I wrote many letters 'home.'   Well, Jesus and the Father talk to US every time we read His Word, the KJV Bible !   To know the bible is to know the mind of God !   Some people in love, read and re-read past letters from those who love them.   The same should be with the bible, and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH MEMORIZING BIBLE VERSES !   It's not a far stretch to imagine the Gov't banning the bible, outright, either!   They seem to be banning flags and other things, lately.  

I didn't think it would happen,  but somehow the "president" managed to buy off and persuade enough Dems to float the Iran deal, now.   What a shame, and American, IMHO, WILL suffer, big time!   But we all knew that, right?  If the Army and Marines train their people,  what should we Christian Warriors do?   I would say:  'train and cement our present brotherly relationships.'  I will continue paying our bills, until something happens to prevent that.   I will also try harder to support the local church where I live, also.   I thought I was doing good,  but found out that I am a bit slack, so I need to change that too.   I need to buy more dog food too.  
     My relationships with my email friends is important too,  because most of them are my fellow Christians.

Have a great day,
Tom


The Daily Jot

Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic persp ective.  

 

NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.     Thursday,  September 3, 2015   Advancing the prophecy clock--the US-Iran deal  Not since President Jimmy Carter sanctioned the deposing of the Shah of Iran, which resulted in the establishment of the "democratic" Ayatollah Sharia dictatorship and the birth of a modern terrorist state, has an event had such powerful prophetic implications. The securing of the 34th Democratic vote in the US Senate by the current "president" will empower him to complete a deal with Iran that will allow the terrorist state to build a nuclear bomb over the next ten years and pay them over $300 billion to do it. Americans, in having leadership who would do such an evil act, are crossing over into that dark area of coming against Israel by bolstering an enemy with deadly power. There will be prophetic consequences. The Jerusalem Post revealed Wednesday an Iran Fars News Agency release where Revolutionary Guards Tehran commander Brigadier General Mohsen Kazzemeini said, "They (the US and the Zionists) should know that the Islamic Revolution will continue enhancing its preparedness until it overthrows Israel and liberates Palestine. And we will continue defending not just our own country, but also all the oppressed people of the world, especially those countries that are standing on the forefront of confrontation with the Zionists." Thanks to Senate Democrats and the "president," America will be part and parcel to funding and empowering this end time player. As fellow watchman and White House Correspondent Bill Koenig has documented in his book "Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel," whenever the US has taken action against Israel there have been political, financial or natural disasters within a 48-72 hour period. The "president" secured the last vote needed to allow his Iran deal with Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski committing to support Iran over Israel. Iran, modern day Persia, is specifically mentioned in the Ezekiel 38 prophecy of nations joining with the beast coalition and coming against Israel "in that day," referring to the Day of the Lord. Iran having a nuclear weapon today, tomorrow, or a decade from now, advances the prophecy clock. The end time prophecies will be fulfilled, no question. But the nations that participate in coming against Israel will suffer. At this moment, America is among them. Watch and pray between now and mid-month when the Iran deal is voted on by Congress. These are perilous times. In the beginning of the Abrahamic Covenant where God establishes Israel through the line of Abraham, the Lord says in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee." When the Lord redeems Israel and judges the earth upon His return, He says in Zechariah 12:3, "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces..." We may be in for a rough ride unless our leadership changes. Our future is held in the balance of the next 14 days. Have a Blessed and Powerful Day! Bill Wilson www.dailyjot.com PS.
