Transportation

feeds@yuku.com (ERM) — Fri, 01 May 2009 07:03:33 GMT

Hi, I am new to this ( writing messages on bulletin boards ) but since I have reached a wall I figure it is time to try anything. My husband is about to go on the donor list for a bilateral hand transplant ( YES hands!) in Pittsburgh. The problem is that we live in Farmington NM ( near the 4 Corners) and can find no quick and economical transportation to Pittsburgh when the time come. Everyone I speak to wants to know why I can't tell them exactly when I need the flight! And an air...

taking care of patients who donate

I'm a nurse who is passionate about working with donor patients and families. I would like to extend an invitation to health care professionals to post their experiences in caring for these incredible patients as well as their phenomenal family members. The emotional impact of providing comfort to the patient and family knowing that you are giving others the gift of life through your work is at times heart breaking....and yet, can be up lifting as you know there are numerous patients who...

Speech

feeds@yuku.com (tomc) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 05:42:10 GMT

I am in a debate (in England): "This house would prioritise organ donations for those who have lived a healthy lifestyle". It's not long enough yet. Any ideas?

Ladies and gentlemen, the motion for this debate is: "this house would prioritise organ donations for those who have lived a healthy lifestyle". For the purposes of this debate, the term 'healthy lifestyle' pertains directly to the organ in question; we are not suggesting that people should not...

TRANSPLANT SUPPORT GROUPS

feeds@yuku.com (abbie) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 08:35:28 GMT

Wondering how many people belong to support groups that are transplant-specific? Meaning either very specific like "Pre and Post Liver Transplant Support Group" or "Life After Transplant" type groups. A friend of mine and I started one and had about 60 members total, with a monthly attendance of about 10-15. Many were very sick, a few died pre and post transplant, and we all formed a very strong bond. Problem was both of use were not able to keep the momentum going due...

Living Donor Who Thinks TRIO is Wrong To Endorse Compensation

feeds@yuku.com (KevinV) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:11:14 GMT

I am a living kidney donor and believe that TRIO's endorsement of compensation studies for organ donation is at best misguided and most likely will result in fewer organ donations in the short run. TRIO jumped into a false controversy with both feet without first considering the simple question, "Why is organ donation on the decline?" And by the way it is, not static, it's declining since 2004.

Probably the biggest issue contributing to the lack of organs for...

Guggulsterones - Cholesterol reduction, It is well established that orally administered guggulipid decreases LDL cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels while either having no effect on or slightly increasing HDL cholesterol levels. Depending on dosage, it generally reduces LDL and TG levels between 10 to 25 percent. Guggul functions in this respect by decreasing hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis. Two...

is McCain against insurance for transplants?

feeds@yuku.com (AlanM) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:02:32 GMT

I was watching the final debate tonight and McCain made a comment that he is against "cadillac insurance policies" that pay for cosmetic surgery and "transplants." Is he for real? I had a kidney-pancreas transplant about six weeks ago and my insurance picked up the tab which was more than I could ever afford. What is he thinking? I also wrote about my transplant on my web site www.alanbestbuys.com .
