Things Could Be Much Worse

Posted: September 19th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

I just finished reading a great book, and afterwards I sat in

my recliner, contemplating many of the things in the book.

By the way, it’s called "The Twelth Enchantment," written

by a guy who really shines in the field of historical novels.

David Liss is his name and you can’t go wrong with any of

the six or seven books he has had published.

This book is set in England, in the year 1712, and it revolves

around a young woman, who is forced, upon the death of her

father, to move in with a brutish uncle and his sadistic woman

(a housekeeper, in modern parlance.) Unknown to her, an

inheritance has been stolen from her by an evil cabal, led

by a revenant (someone who has died and come back

to life, with a number of occult powers).

One of Mr. Liss’ very strong suits is historical detail. He

really takes you inside what it was like to be a woman in the

England of 1712, particularly a woman with no money and no

prospects. In short, modern women wouldn’t countenance this

situation, in any shape or form. Women basically had no rights,

unless they adhered to her husband’s, or father’s position. The

only way out of the house was to marry and if a woman had nothing

to offer (like money) as a dowry, her prospects were not good. A

woman really had no rights, even in her own home, since all decisions

were made by the man in charge.

At this time, 1712, the industrial revolution was ongoing and

items previously made by hand were now being being manufactured

by machines. Factory shifts were 12 hours long, 7 days a week,

and if you did not produce, you were beaten and docked pay.

Children as young as six were often chained to machines, so they

couldn’t run away.

There are many parallels in the book to what is now happening in

this country. Jobs were disappearing at an incredible rate and

mobs roamed the streets. Our Fearless Leader’s job czar sent

60, 000 plus jobs overseas, when he was running GE into the

abyss. That doesn’t count the huge layoffs.

While complaining about Wall Street and millionaires, FOB’s

(Friends of Barack) get millions of dollars for jobs that don’t

exist, or cost 5 million dollars apiece.

The President tells Congress he will eliminate 500 rules, to

make things easy on the businessman, but Obamacare has

added 100,000 new ones, and the EPA spits out new rules

every day, by the thousands. The Dodd-Frank Bill (which

should be called, Two Duplicitous and Cunning Thieves Make

a Mockery of Money), dumps thousands of new and often

idiotic rules on the marketplace.

But, still we survive. And we are not chained to a machine,

or unjustly disinherited. We are not forced to marry scoundrels,

just to get away from home. We don’t live in filth and squalor,

or have a limited life expectancy of only 32 years. We don’t have

to wear the same clothes, until they fall off, and we can bathe on

a regular basis. Dentistry doesn’t mean pulling a tooth with pliers.

(Ouch!)

We now live in a country where a major city mayor’s most

pressing concern is salt shakers on restaurant tables, and

keeping the clergy away from 9/11 ceremonies. The New

York Times star columnist Paul (P.P.) Krugman, says

9/11 is about "fake heroes," and dark conspiracies. (Oh..,

P.P. is short for Princeton Professor.) Not.

Our future health depends on many things. Sure, the

2012 election will be important, very important. But the

real key to your health in the future will be staying out of

the doctor’s office. The best case scenario is that you

only visit for something catastrophic. And hope the line

isn’t too long, like in Canada, and in England, where you

very well may die, waiting to get treated. In Canada, the

survival rate for cancer patients is less than half that of

the U. S.

The best scenario is that you start taking care of yourself.

The time to start that lifestyle change you’ve been

contemplating is NOW… not next week, next month, or next

year. One of the best things you can do for yourself is

start taking my premium supplements, starting with the

Powerhouse Omega Formula.

The Healing Food From Gilligan’s Island

Dr. Bill is the nom de guerre of William Thomas Stillwell, M.D.,
FACS, FICS, FAAOS, FAANAOS, FAAPGS. He is a licensed, board
certified orthopaedic surgeon, with nearly a quarter century of
clinical experience, and has served as Chairman of the Department
of Orthopaedic Surgery at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center,
Smithtown, New York until he retired in 2003, Associate Professor
of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the State University of New York
at Stony Brook (1987-2003), Assisitant Professor before that, and
Instructor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the College of
Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University (1982-1999).

He is also a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North
America, the Association for Hip & Knee Surgery, and numerous
professional and scientific societies, including his Fellowships in
The American College of Surgery, The International College of
Surgery, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, The American
Academy for Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery, and the American
Academy for Postgraduate Surgery.

Dr. Bill was born in Brooklyn, New York and is a product of the New
York City educational system, with higher education through New
York Medical College, where he earned his Doctorate in Medicine in
1973. At this time, he also worked as a professional medical
illustrator and comic artist

His Internship and General Surgery Residency were at the Medical
College of Virginia in Richmond, Vurginia and his Residency in
Orthopaedics was at St. Luke?s Hospital, back in New York.
Subsequently, he completed his advanced training in Adult
Reconstruction as an Otto E. Aufranc Fellow in Constructive Surgery
at the prestigious New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, and
Tufts University, where he was a Visiting Fellow.

Thereafter, he began the private practice of orthopaedic surgery in
Commack and Smithtown, New York, on Long Island, in the summer of
1979. Five years later, he had a specialized practice in surgery of
the hip & knee and was appointed Chief of Orthopaedics. During this
period, he was also Director of the Fracture Clinic, at St.
Luke?s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in NYC. He introduced many
advanced techniques in joint reconstruction to the hospital,
including his pioneering work on standardized protocols, which
eventually became known as clinical pathways, decades ahead of the
rest of the field.

He has written (and often illustrated) a number of scientific and
academic articles, which have been published in peer reviewed
medical journals, and two major orthopaedic textbooks on advanced
joint reconstruction: The Art of Total Hip Arthroplasty (Grune &
Stratton, 1987), and Arthroplasty: An Atlas of Surgical Technique
(with coauthor W. Norman Scott, M.D., Aspen Publications, 1987). He
illustrated the latter two books, as well.

During his tenure as Chairman, Dr. Stillwell developed his
Department with one of the strongest rosters of surgical excellence
on Long Island and the region. His hospital became a widely
respected regional center of excellence for major joint replacement
and revision, arthroscopic surgery, and advanced spinal procedures.
He himself was publicly acknowledged as a regional expert in his
field, The Hip & Knee Specialist, with a regional, national and
international referral base. He was also invited, twice, to lecture
at the prestigious British Hip Course in Oswestry, Wales, in the
U.K., on advanced revision surgery techniques.

At the peak of his career, Dr. Bill sustained a fractured spine in
a fall, and after attempting to continue his work for over a year,
despite progressive pain, believing he was putting patients at
risk, he voluntarily resigned from his position and retired from
his practice. He now commutes seasonally between his main residence
in Central Florida and the ?Northern Command,? in Southampton, New
York. He lives with his wife of over 35 years and a whole lot of
cats.

Can She Keep The Weight Off

Posted: September 16th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Yesterday ,while doing a little net surfing, I found some

new pictures of Kirstie Alley. Now, veteran readers of this

column know that I have lambasted Kistie before, on

several occasions. I said some pretty tough things,

especially when she was on DWTS.

The new pictures show a very slimmed down woman,

who has lost 100 pounds plus. I have to say that these

photos remind me of how hot she was when she burst

on the scene in "Cheer’s." Congratulations are in order.

She gets big kudos, not the British "Pip, Pip."

The first time Kirstie took the weight off, and appeared

in a bikini on Oprah, she lost 75 pounds. Then, she went

out and put the flab back on, plus a little extra, which is what

happens when you lose control again. When you lose control

the second time, the body demands a little extra, in her case

another 25 pounds. Oprah has been doing this dance for over

20 years.

It is not an easy thing to lose 100 pounds. It takes time and

consistent effort. But the most important thing to remember is

that you are not finished when you meet your goal.

When you meet your weight loss goal, you have to keep at it.

It is a complete lifestyle change that you want to effect and

you can’t do that without staying the course. You can’t put all

that work into it, but then gorge on horseradish cream mashed

potatoes by the quart, which is Oprah’s weakness, along with

some fine wine.

A friend of mine, that tilts the scales at around 400 pounds,

maintains that he doesn’t eat much. What he really should be

saying is that he doesn’t eat that much for a 400 pounder. He

is a total junk food junkie and that stuff sticks like Gorilla Glue.

Given a choice on whether to eat a steak, or a big bag of chips,

he’d opt for the chips every time. That’s how he’s acquired his

slim physique. He’s always telling me about his remarkably low

cholesterol, but he’s kidding himself. Cholesterol is only one of

a series of things that can produce a heart attack.

Just so you don’t forget, the number one sign of a heart attack

is…death.

I really hope Kirstie keeps the weight off. I’m rooting for her to

make a real lasting change in her life that keeps her looking as

good as she does now.

She could help herself a lot by taking my Powerhouse Omega

Formula, maybe even upgrading to the Cholesterol Crushing Combo.

I’ll check her out a year from now, and give you the results.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,

Dr. Bill

What Successful People Fear Most

Posted: September 15th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

This past weekend, I met quite a number of highly successful

business people. They came in all shapes, sizes, colors and

creeds. Many of them grew up in poverty, in highly rural areas

of the South, and still made their way in the world, without handouts

and mulligans.

For some, success came fast. For others, it came at 40. Or 50,

or 60. By successful, I mean people who make a minimum of one

million dollars a year. Some of these folks make ten million a year.

You would have had a hard time recognizing that any of these

folks made a lot of money. They don’t dress like they do in Palm

Beach, New York, or Los Angeles. The wealthiest guy in the room

wore a suit, but it was at least ten years old, and his shoes looked

like he had done chores at the farm in them. One of the guys on

the fast track doesn’t own a shirt with a collar.

This particular guy (a technology expert, who has about

three dozen Fortune 500 clients that pay him to do research and

modeling) , the one with only a T-shirt wardrobe, said some

things that astonished me and quite a few others. He said that the

jobs lost in this country are not coming back and that jobs programs

proposed by our Fearless Leader are just a lot of smoke.

Here was his reasoning.

He said that technology is eliminating jobs faster than they can be created.

He said that given the proper technology, companies can make sweeping

cuts, because machines can now do things in days that used to take

years. His company created a computer program that now uses 100

people to feed it, milk it and put it to sleep, versus the 780 people who were

needed to do it in the past.

It took 7 people in his company three weeks to design this program.

"I feel a little sorry for the people in government," he said, "they don’t

have any idea of what is going on in the world, in terms of technology.

Their ideas of the marketplace are obsolete, they don’t work anymore,

and talking about bringing these jobs back is nonsense. We need to

retrain. I’m not talking about college. That’s worthless in some respects

too, because it doesn’t reflect what’s happening, either. Almost everyone

in my company is a college dropout, a couple are high school dropouts,

but they know what’s going on."

What scared people was that he said that the lifespan of many

businesses will now be less than ten years. That means that you

could go all the way to the top and then, see your business disappear,

or not be needed anymore. His advice: have multiple businesses,

stay lean, mean, and be ready to move at the drop of hat.

Is he right? Well…he certainly got people thinking. I think he is

right about jobs. We need to train ourselves, and our children, to be

entrepreneurs, not government apparatchiks.

In his way, our Fearless Leader is not much different than the

Muslim clerics, who want to live in the 8th century. It is readily

apparent that he has no idea of what is really going on in the world,

technologically, business wise, or any other wise. If he did, he

would never have talked about "shovel ready" jobs. And after

losing the Weiner War in New York yesterday, he must feel like

the whole world is shoveling something malodorous on the

White House lawn.

I think it was Will Rogers who said, "Diplomacy is the art of

say, "Nice doggie," until you can find a rock. The people in

New York got tired of saying, "Nice doggie."

The moral of the story is that to survive in the future… you

need to be a "peak performer," not just someone slouching

through life. The ability to operate at full mental capacity is

going to be very important.

At Dr. Bill’s Formulas we have the tools you need.

How I Survived A Very Strenuous Day

Posted: September 14th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Over the weekend, I had a number of business meetings in

Atlanta. The meetings went remarkably well and I headed

to the airport, enroute to Washington, for another meeting

early Tuesday morning. I was supposed to arrive in Washington

around 1 in the afternoon and I thought I would catch a

nap, have a nice dinner, then retire early, so I would be fresh

for the morning meeting.

I had a great taxi ride to the airport in Atlanta, with a very

funny cabbie, who had an opinion on everything. He was

a retired Air Force guy (30 years) and he said he drove

a taxi for 3-1/2 days a week, to meet people and have some

fun. We had some fun during the 25 minutes it took to get to the

airport. He had me laughing so hard, at one point, I was

almost lying across the back seat.

I got my bags and headed to the ticket counter, where

the day started to go downhill, fast. The United counter

person informed me my flight had been cancelled and

that they had booked me a flight for the next day.

I told her that was unacceptable, since my meeting

started at 8 AM and it would be over before I left Atlanta.

Then she offered to fly me to Chicago…where I could

catch another plane to Washington. I asked what the

time was between flights. She said 30 minutes and I

told her that was unacceptable…because I would, in all

probability, not make it in time to board the second flight.

Secondly, it would get me to Washington at 9:45 PM.

Which meant I wouldn’t see my hotel till 11 PM, or later.

What I couldn’t understand was why they couldn’t find

a direct flight… when a plane takes off every hour, from

Atlanta to Washington.

Then, they offered a flight to Newark, NJ and a connector

back to Washington. It would get me there by 5 PM, so

although I wasn’t happy, it would have to do.

Then, I went through security and on to the gate. No

sooner did I get to the gate and…they announced a gate

change. It was in another terminal. So I humped it back there,

and went through a different security. I got on the plane,

and then, it was off to Newark.

I put down in Newark, rode a bus to another terminal, walked

what seemed like miles to the gate, and the sign said the

flight had been delayed. How long? Nobody seemed to know.

While sitting there reading, they announced a gate change.

What? I ended up humping from one end of the terminal to

the other. At the new gate, nobody knew anything about

the delay, or what time the plane was going to leave.

Then, two pilots arrived and the girl at the counter told the

pilot about the problem, and he said he was going to have to fix

it. He got on the phone and he wasn’t amused. He was raising

his voice and saying things that weren’t meant for the public

to hear. Basically it went like this: "This is Captain John Q

Public and I’m being told this flight is delayed, and I want

to know why. (This is the version without somewhere near

20 adjectives that the New York Times wouldn’t print.)

He was on hold for a couple of minutes, then he was talking again,

and then, he hung up. He told the counter girl we would be

leaving in 15 minutes. And believe it or not, he wasn’t far

off. The actual total, until takeoff, was 24 minutes, but I wasn’t

going to quibble. We got airborne, and it got bumpy. Really

bumpy. I lost the book I was reading, on a big bump.

Finally we landed, 20 minutes early. I started off to the baggage claim,

and I was walking…and walking…and walking…hell, my legs were

starting to hurt, when I got to the train that took me the rest of the

way. My bag was up, I grabbed it and got a taxi. I headed for the

hotel and it dawned on me that I might not have been able to

make it, if I hadn’t been taking my CoQ10 formula. I had been taxed

to the limit, with all that walking, plus the flying, which can

really zap your energy, especially if the flight isn’t smooth.

As I checked into the hotel, I still felt good, I still had some

wind beneath these wings and, in spite of the setbacks, I still

made it out for a good dinner and retired early.

It probably also helps that I wasn’t carrying the 60 or so

pounds of flubber I used to have. You can find out about

losing your load here:
