Evita Ramparte Cures Ovarian Cancer With Fruits and Vegetables

Evita Ramparte reminds us what we can achieve as we introduce organic fruits and vegetables and eliminate dairy, meat, and eggs intermittently from our diet.

At the 2:20 mark, she describes the foods that she ate on her way to better health.  Could not believe it when she said that she passed 16 stones from her gall bladder.

I liked what she said about strengthening her liver in order to clean her blood, pancreas, kidney, and all the other organs that were healthy.

Was not shocked by the callousness of her doctors who when asked what the cause of her cancer was cynically retorted, "If we knew that, we'd be Nobel Prize winners."  Too many doctors are idiots.  They offer you choices, two choices: drugs or surgery.  When my mother, 89 at the time, was rushed by ambulance into the local Emergency Room, the ER doctor asked her what day it was.  Anybody rushed anywhere in a less-than-healthy condition while causing alarm among caring and loving family members is asked an irrelevant question about what day it was, which is the last concern on her mind,  particularly when she is in trouble health-wise and rushed to a strange and unfriendly place where family members facilitate a transfer of self-ownership to monsters in white coats feigning legitimacy, is not going to be quick on the uptake.  But the doctor asked her this question as a way to prove the existence of something--an unknown, unnamed something--in order to get her a hospital room (cha-jing!) and run more tests (cha-jing!).  Beginning that very night through to the following day, technicians wheeled in their holy hardware, and explained in very technical terms, with beeps and graphs in neon red against a gray screen what the machine did.  These technicians saw my mom with her full medical insurance as a very convenient and fully-functioning ATM.

I did a little checking.  I had to.  When my mother was advised (why did it feel like an order?) to stay in an Arcadia, CA hospital overnight by the Emergency Room doctor, she did not like it.  After a number of babies, my mother was familiar with hospital rooms and procedures.  She was not a fan.  So that first night when she was admitted, she really didn't want to be there.  She was 89 and was used to the comfortable surroundings of her home.  She wanted to go home.  My brother stayed with her in the hospital her first night, defending her against repeated tests that the nurses and Rn's had performed on her already earlier in the day.  She really, really wanted to go home.  So my brother told the nurse apologetically "My mom would really like to go home.  We're going to take her home."  The head nurse replied, "Her doctor is going to be really angry."  Does that sound like a threat?  It does to me.  If he's angry, what's he going to say or do that might cause legal or medical insurance problems for my mother later on?  I do not know.  So my mother stayed the night.

What my brother could have benefited from was an understanding of a patient's rights.  Who grants those rights?  I would say the individual patient has rights that come from her creator.  Rights certainly are not conferred by the government or hospitals.  No, rights come from the individual.  But I wanted to know, wanted something in writing.  Here's what I learned from talking to two representatives at the Arcadia Hospital.  One is that if a patient leaves the hospital on her own accord, on her own cognizance without a medical discharge she could be liable out of pocket for the expenses of being in the hospital for as long as she was.  In my mother's case, she was in the hospital for less than 24 hours.  The legal term, and bureaucracies love legal terms to intimidate patients and their families with legal terms is "against medical advice."  When I asked the hospital representatives if they had anything published on their website, one gentleman told me yes.  When I asked exactly where on the website it was, he said that he didn't know for he had never visited the site.  He transferred my call to someone else.  He got nervous for not knowing exactly where that code or law came from. 

I was transferred to the Risk Management Dept.  The woman there told me about the Patient's Bill of Rights.  Said that every hospital in the state follows the state's authority.  The Patient's Bill of Rights is posted throughout her hospital.  She explained that nothing about the patient's bill of rights was to be found on their hospital website.  She is the one who told me about the term "against medical advice."  That's legal speak for hospitals and doctors protecting themselves against malpractice and dereliction of duty.  When I asked her, the woman gave me an example of someone being on drugs and going AWOL.  Hell of an example.  I was calling to find out an individual's preference to say, "Hey, I don't like it here.  I want to go home where I am comfortable."  But his representative gave me an extreme example to emphasize that the hospital is more concerned about someone's health than the individual herself or that of the family.  Hospitals love to use rhetoric to scare people out of their rights.
