What Lies Beneath.....Michael Brown.

Everyone has a voice. Only certain people know how to use it properly. We all have an opinion, but not all of us have the facts. The Truth.

Have you ever thought about the statement, "The Truth Lies Within" ?

Police investigators, students and teachers look for evidence to show proof of what you see and learn to be true. The reality of it when you are trying to figure out or try to understand why someone did or said something, you will never really know what lies within. You see the surface if you are lucky.

You see what you to see and know what you want to know. When media and tabloids get a hold of a story they show you what they want to exploit. It is never everything. My husband stated a great point: Everything is an illusion. The truth gets twisted and turned in so many ways that surface I was talking about is the only thing you have left.

Here is some examples that hopefully you might understand where I am coming from:

This story is recent and I have seen opinions flying and floating everywhere. Opinions have been shared even when that person is contradicting what they are saying. People of different entities, stature, placement, race, and even including those that are standing on their own stool or high horse.

So let us start with you watching this video:

Suspect with Michael Brown, His Witness Testimony

Now I want you to listen to it more than once. Listen to every word this kid says. First he says, the officer never said freeze, but at the end of the video he says that and I quote, "When he says freeze again,"..... He contradicts his story many times, but since he was in the media, he emphasized "shot like a dog". "shot because two black men walking down the middle of street by a white officer.".

Now I want you to watch this:

Full Video of Michael Brown and Friend Robbery along with more news

Please note in this robbery, this was done just a few minutes prior to Michael's death. A police report was released of the suspects as soon as the store owner called it in. According to the media, the officer that alleged shot Michael wasn't aware of the release of suspects information.
But also, please note in this video, Michael stole numerous cigars before leaving the scene along with his friend in the above video, stormed the clerk twice, plus place his hands around the clerk to be more of a threat to that clerk.

In just my opinion when I have heard on the news and what I have read so far on just this incident, Many people have said he was a good boy. Never did anything wrong. This video shows something quite different than the definition of a "good boy" that I have learned growing up, but yet again that is just my opinion.

Now here is the final video and story for this incident:

http://clashdaily.com/2014/08/new-evidence-eye-witness-mike-brown-shooting-states-brown-doubled-back-toward-police/

While watching the video you do hear many people screaming shouting different things, but you also hear a witness that actually was present during this scene taking place that explains in almost the same exact detail that the officer that shot the victim of what happened and reported for this event of explanation of what did happened.

So now we have three different videos, one a robbery a few minutes before, the friend of the victim involved in the robbery and was with the victim at the time of shooting, and the final video showing explicit detail of the situation but most importantly a witness explaining to others of exactly what happened because he was there.

So, what lies beneath all this? We have evidence, some facts, witnesses, a white cop that shot a black man.............
All of this display is just scratching the surface of what really happened. But to have a witness in the last video saying at first he thought it was another gang shooting but then realized differently when Mr. Brown was doubling back at the officer in full speed after trying to take the officer's handgun, ignoring all officers commands, was then shot dead.

Heck, I have even heard people say in regards to the officer that made the life ending shots to this man, should be imprisoned. Especially with one of the victims friends and/or family members so he won't live to see tomorrow.

Now go back and read what I just wrote. A black man wrote that comment on the first release of the video of the friend that was with Mr. Brown at the time speaking on how his friend was shot down like a dog after the officer yelled freeze twice...........So a black man is basically already saying that the group of friends and family of Mr. Brown are already in Jail? But his family states that he was a good boy? I'm just confused.
I don't understand why this is a Black/White thing again? Not everything in this world is racial. Its the media and the society of where certain people live and believe twist things to be racist.

No matter what I say or post or show evidence or show opinions of, media has about as much information as you and I do and the only people that really know and understand what happened is the victim on why he made the choices he did that day and that officer that made the decision to use deadly force.

I personally have been jumped and robbed from a white male. Raped by a Black Male. Just had five white teenagers set off bombs in a desired upper class part of town. People are good. But they all have some bad in them. White, Black, yellow....I don't care. Violence is violence. Making things worse and turning it into a racial thing shows me Martin Luther King Jr. didn't really do much but share a dream for only half of the world to listen and understand. 

To Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate your child?

There was a link a week or so ago that was traveling over Facebook that of course caught my attention. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to respond the way I wanted. Plus now that I keep searching for that link, I can't find it to connect with what all I have to say next. So let's summarize:

The articles had videos along with statics reports that kept identifying that there is no proof that there is any link whatsoever with vaccinations and Autism. Also, it influenced that because of parents trying to avoid at all costs for having a child that is Autistic, they choose to not vaccinate their children. I call Bullshit. :)

I'm going to start with those parents out there that are not vaccinating their children. So listen up!! You are IGNORANT. Yes I just said that to you. I'm a mother of not just one but two children on the spectrum. And I know for a fact that in my family's cases that the Vaccination process, specifically the MMR Vaccine AND the amount of frequency of other vaccinations at that time were given caused my daughter Zoey to have "Classical Autism". But you also need to know this as well: genetics was a cause too.
The combination of the genetics of myself and my husband, calculate as well as the environment we live and that multitude of other vaccines my daughter got that day including the MMR that had the preservative in it that contains Mercury caused her Autism.

I have five kids all together. My oldest, I did the same vaccinations in the order that I did with Zoey. But Zoey obtained Autism....Kymberly didn't.

After learning and studying more about vaccinations and of course my pharmacy background helping me understand medications and vaccinations helped as well. It isn't the vaccinations we need to be scared of. Here in Ohio, there has been a huge Mumps outbreak. Main cause is because many families today are not vaccinating their children. We have an outbreak that we medically eliminated because of vaccinations and now because people just hear one thing, they expose a long line of threat.
Do I believe parents have the right to chose to do whatever is medically necessary for their children as they see fit? Of course. Why should a government have to control another thing about what we do? Everything though has a reason.
You need to still vaccinate your kids. This shouldn't be a question. This shouldn't be an option. What you should be questioning and looking for certain options is to see what ways this can be done safer and not have that 50/50 chance of vaccination autism.

I shared this a long time ago and I personally have my children on the same vaccination schedule. I make other adjustments as well....but the end result is always that they still obtain all their vaccinations.

Whether the drug companies want to see it or not, vaccines has linked an increase to Autism diagnosis. We need our vaccines to stay safe...they just need to be administered in a different way.
Here are the steps I follow. Feel free to take this into your doctors office. This guideline has been created by DAN Doctors.

Please also know that Vaccines ARE NEEDED! Don't not have them...just follow a different schedule to administer. 

DAN! (Defeat Autism NOW!) Vaccination Guidelines:

1. Use Thimersol / Mercury free vaccines!!
The only way to know for sure a vaccine is mercury/thimersol free is to
read the insert yourself! Many doctors still have mercury/thimersol
vaccines sitting in the refrigerators! And yes, mercury /thimersol
containing vaccines are still being made!! Be sure to be 100% sure!

2. Do not vaccinate newborns.

3. Avoid re-immunization with a vaccine after a previous bad reaction.

4. NEVER vaccinate ill children or children recovering from an infection.

5. Space vaccines - do not give multiple vaccines in 1 day.
(THAT INCLUDES vaccines that have multiple viruses! Split them up!)

6. Use single dose vials from which to draw up the vaccines as opposed
to multiple-dose vials which provide less uniform dosage.

7. Use inactivated polio. (the shot, not the drops)

8. Give RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of Vitamin C before and
after vaccines

9. Give a natural form of Vitamin A ( cod liver oil ) to keep RDA's at
level at all times for the age.

10. Separate the MMR into 3...start with measles at 12-15 months, then
mumps at 18-21 months, rubella at 24-27 months.

11. Do not give live virus vaccines to immunodeficient children.

12. Do not give vaccines if allergic to any of these components:
i. Yeast - Hep B
ii. Eggs - MMR
iii. Neonycian - MMR or Varicella

13. Hold off on the Varicella until 10-12 years & if the child is shown not
immune to Chicken pox.

14. Checking vaccine titers before giving boosters (Most people are
immune after one dose. We continue to get multiple doses that MAY
NOT BE NEEDED. Have them check antibody levels via titres blood
test.)

Children's Vaccinations by Stephanie, Md. Cave, Deborah Mitchell (Contributor) (Paperback -

Once I find that link I will have that along with a more in depth synopsis of what these people are portraying. 

FDA Release Extended Release Opiod for sever pain management equals panties in a twist.

Well, here recently the FDA has released another form of medication for pain management. Protester's are already speaking up, panties all in a twist and it hasn't even been made available to dispense yet. I've been reading the pros and cons to the medication and I do see both sides. I respect both of them.

So what is it? The FDA approved an extended-release single-entity hydrocodone product. This is the FIRST to have updated labeling now required for all ER/LA opioid analgesics. Zohydro ER (hydrocodone bitartrate extended release capsules).

Obviously one of the main cons that people and advocates for addiction disorder are upset about is another drug: More deaths to prescription medication. Now we have to remember that any controlled substance is on a scale of caution due to the increase percentage of addiction to the medication. Huge warning signs all over the medication bottles with labels to warn you along with a packet that 95% of people don't even read with ALL the information about the med. How its made, what it does, what to watch out for, drug interactions, adverse reactions, etc.

I definitely agree that most medications that are released, shouldn't be. But.....this is a big BUT: Medications that are prescribed correctly and work the way they are supposed and monitored the way they are supposed to has saved lives. Not just one. That is why its available. So who are we to be objective in any way to a medication that there maybe a different alternative too may save your life one day?
Now of course when dealing with pain and the controlled substances that go with that doesn't fully weigh into saving someones life, but they help. They cause havoc for sure but they help when used properly. This medication being extended release Zohydro ER is ONLY FOR SEVERE PAIN TO REQUIRE DAILY, AROUND THE CLOCK, LONG-TERM TREATMENT AND FOR WHICH ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS ARE INADEQUATE.

Okay...so I may have been "yelling" that last part with all CAPS because its something that needs to be focused on. You basically have to go through a million hurdles to even be considered for this medication. People respond to medication differently and that does include an opioid. This medication is not and will never be used for "AS-NEEDED PAIN".

There is a side effect on it that the protesters are barking and its the words: May cause death. Do you even realize how many medications besides opiates have that labeling??? Thousands. Almost all of them could cause death because everyone acts differently to medication. You don't really know your allergic to Penicillin or the level of allergic reaction to it until you take and guess what...may cause death or disease. Same goes with OTC (over-the-counter) medications. You chose to take it with all its warnings, "possible side effects", in the good faith that its in the best interest for your health at that time. Just because a doctor prescribes you something doesn't mean you HAVE to take it. Not everyone agrees with my personal opinion of when I say Addiction begins as a choice, but its printed out for you on every single medication. It gives you all the information and you chose to take it or not. I won't go into that any further because last time I tried to explain my position on that, it was misconstrued.

The fact is we have a new C2 medication available for the select few that qualify and truly need it. Imagine your friend, Mom or Dad, or whomever that is suffering from multiple forms of cancer that they can't even move, talk, sleep because they are in so much pain. There is now an option that maybe their best alternative.

Just remember guys, I'm not trying to defend pharmaceutical companies or the FDA for what they chose to do and what they come up with. It wouldn't have been approved if there wasn't a large need for it. Doctors and patients just need to be on their tiptoes with this one and make sure it is the best thing and not just write it and let a person walk out with it. Education with the doctors and the patients and even the Pharmacists that are handing that drug or any medication to anyone need to make sure everyone is on the same page. That you understand what your being offered. What choice you have to make for your medical care.


Choices.....Choices....Choices........... "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears".

Jenny McCarthy, Autism, bad media, and my perspective......

Just a few moments ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and ran across this article: http://graneyandthepig.wordpress.com/2010/02/27/jenny-mccarthy-my-bad-turns-out-my-kid-doesnt-have-autism/

Definitely caught me by surprise but my first instinct wasn't one of "This chick is not reputable". Whether or not the story is true....which it isn't, This woman has done so much for the Autism community. Period. Even thinking about bashing her about anything is disgusting. I've read her books. I'm also apart of the same mission she is. Autism Awareness is one thing. Then there is the vaccinations that intertwine as well.

Families that have a sibling or child with Autism already go through enough ignorance in this world. I had my private insurance company said I made my daughter Autistic so they don't cover that. Nobody knows what we go through unless they are living it too. To strike at a woman in such poor taste is beyond ignorance.

Lets say that this article was true. Okay, so instead of Autism its a neurological disorder. Still the pathways and struggles she went through to advocate for her son and his needs has paid off. He is progressing extremely well. She was still right in what she did and created a huge foundation for others. So why bad press her? Of course she is standing up to this writer/press or whatever. Its another form of advocacy. She isn't just standing up for herself, she is standing up to Autism in another form.

People are desperate out there to find a leader and someone to guide them when they get a diagnoses because even still to this day, there just isn't enough information or the "right way" to handle it. I'm still finding a way with my daughter and her therapists. Everyday is a new day of either progression or backtracking.

Yesterday I came across a video that a mom took of her son being abused by the in-home therapist. He was a non-verbal four year old that couldn't tell his mommy what he was going through. Luckily she hid a camera because that instinct was there to know something wasn't right. It just breaks my heart on how thousands of people treat the families and the special needs themselves. Biggest act of bullying and cowardliness. Disgusting to say the least.

If you need help, need information because of a Autism or Spectrum Sensory processing disorder, please email me or go to www.AutismSpeaks.com

Jenny McCarthy, keep kicking ass and taking names. I will be doing the same damn thing.

My Daughter Zoey

My oldest Daughter Kymberly and Zoey.:) 

Zombies for real.......

So what is in new Pharmacy/ Health Land news? Nothing too much more than normal. Medicine and Health are making drastic changes everyday. We all know that.
I've recently took up a short contract at a local hospital because they desperately needed the help so that has been fun. Even got to hang out with the Pharmacy Board on the past Tuesday. The smell of a 797 clean room is a smell I have missed! Haha.

I've seen in the news and I'm sure you all have as well that this drug from Russia has made it over to the states. Even my state of Ohio has reports of it on its streets. Apparently from a streamline from New York......

It comes with many nicknames that even sound almost as crazy as the drug itself!! The "Zombie" drug aka Krokodil. It has flesh-eating affects after each use or should I say abuse. Apparently the effects of the drug are much more intense to the other deteriorating menace to our communities as in heroin, plus it is cheaper than heroin. It is such an intense overload to the body's nervous system and it literally makes a person feel and act like a Zombie. This drug literally kills the person from the inside out and that is not a saying, it is a fact. People know this and still use the drug. They lose limbs and still use until their dead. Studies have shown that Krokodil causes serious damage to the veins and soft tissue infections, rapidly followed by gangrene and necrosis.

Mental health is just now becoming a concern to everyone because of the latest travesties which is sad but the streets are their war. Its their battleground. I don't and probably will never truly understand why someone would want to do heroin and on top of that the thought of Krokodil, especially knowing the consequences. They get sucked in and those things don't matter. They are lost with no medical treatment or help so they basically slowly kill themselves. Our minds make all of us addicts of something. I have quite a few things. Coffee....bread...chocolate. But my mind tells me when its too much. I know if I eat too much, I will get fat. I need to exercise. Drug addicts don't have really anything to work with. They get sucked in the drug world and stuck their unless they get the right help. Half the time, even mental health medical intervention isn't enough. Some survive, but most don't.

So as medical and health changes rapidly grow, so does the damaging effects of what they do as well. We are in the business on how we can live longer and cure diseases with such medical technology advancements, the government creates drugs for anti-terrorism  that spills on our streets and then ALL that knowledge can be twisted to given our world something harmful. To give us something us that we will pay for and be addicted to. Another person making money. Another person addicted. Our Medical Advancements comes with cures and mockery.

Time has passed by: 1) eating glue
                               2) huffing paint
                               3) snorting bath salts
                               4) abuse of prescription medication heroin
                               5) Krokodil.


Just a thought: The past couple years, the entertainment world has made a lot of movies and TV shows lately on Zombies........maybe this crap has been here longer than we thought?

"You can have freedom of speech and opinion, just can't have it in social media."

"You can have freedom of speech and opinion, just can't have it in social media." Sadly this isn't a joke. I'm flabbergasted. A few blogs have been removed due to a requirement that was not one of my own. Along with some social media postings. 

We live in a world now where our government is shut down, the rich get richer (and apparently get away with whatever they want) and the middle and low income class gets hurt the worse. 

Not everything is all about money though. Its about having a voice. Standing up for what you believe in even though there maybe thousands of people against you. You follow your heart. You follow your facts and you just go with it. I don't live in the social media world with transparency. I think you are providing the public unjust information about yourself when you do. We all make mistakes. Its impossible to be perfect. Its just unfair to be a liar to the people that may look up to you if you provide false information so I don't play like that. Maybe that is why I suck at business? Don't know...don't care. 


I never had this feeling when I sat down to blog about something and have to question everything I write. Is this something that is going to come back and bite me in the ass again or not? Even though I provide a disclaimer before every blog I write on here that SHOULD protect me, some people have found a way around it. Scare tactics and threats and defamation of character is pretty much what I have been dealing with. I know that not everyone will agree with my opinion but that is the point of an opinion. Some people just think its a key to threaten a lawsuit. 

I will continue to blog about medications, and new pharmaceutical marketed products, nutrapharmaceuticals, as well as health and fitness. Do not ask me about MLM companies for which I will not reply. I always been just about products and ONLY about the products....not the business of it. 

I honestly want to vent like crazy right now but I can't. I have permanent duck-tape on my mouth about a certain subject that can't come out anymore. Why? Because I'm being compliant. My family is going through way too much right now to have to deal with something I think is ignorant. I will say this though. Those of you that visit my blog and other social media sites to try to dig some information about me, go screw yourself. My husband is battling cancer at the age of today with it being his birthday of 35 and its already hard enough to explain that to our five young children. So back off. Have some common decency. 

To companies out there looking for reviews on their products and high advertising please reach out to me. I have helped a lot of clients so far and would love to do the same for you. Plus if you have any medication questions that you would like to know more about, ask away! Either submit your contact information below, or send requests to monicadiannejohnson@gmail.com referencing what your need is. 

What is Tocotrienols?

A couple days ago, I put this as a status update on my personal Facebook page:

"I question everything. It's my nature. Whether it's my kids, their school, my family...my friends and even my work. I don't take "because I said so" as a final answer. I don't just look for the answer.....I find the correct answer. I get all the facts. I find all the evidence. It's what I am natured to do. Hate me if you want. But the point still remains I have the truth, I know the truth, and guess what? I can prove the truth. Don't be a follower because it's obviously seen. No one can hide from a mask of uncertainty. Not even me and that is why there has never been transparency with what I do or say. If you haven't figured that out yet by now of me. Here is your lesson of the day."

Whether you look at it as a lesson or not, this a huge description on why I do what I do when it comes to my work. People look at MLM companies as a way to have a career and an income. I look at them and their products and find a way to change the health for others. America is overweight and malnourished. We all know this. Only a handful of people are looking to change it or then there are those that look for that quick fix. There are no quick fixes people. There are things out to help but you have to do the work. 

I'm proud of myself for being able to help as many people as I have and I won't ever stop. I'm grateful for all these companies that have brought light to new products to share with the medical community. From a pharmacy standpoint, if we can change all those FDA regulated products to nutrapharmaceuticals then I would be heaven. Too many people are on too many medications and are dependent on them. They shouldn't be. There are so many healthy alternatives and I love finding them. 

Drug companies every year are creating more and more products for me to hate. The upside is that so is nutrapharmaceutical companies are creating more products too. Going back to Western and Eastern medicine is where we should be. Knowing a flower can help with inflammation, gluthoniane helps with muscle repair, and if you incorporate Kale and Protein in your daily food consumption it can change your health dramatically. You are what you eat. You are what you chose to put in your body. You are what you expose yourself to when it comes to environment and you are often compared and contrasted to the people you surround yourself by. 

I've come across a lot of new things that I can't wait to share. I'm waiting on the medical board to release a review my team of colleagues and I have been working on for a company called Kyani. If you would like to know more about that company, please let me know and I can connect you with a few amazing people. One in particular that I'm proud to call my friend is Scott Yamaguchi from Hawaii. You can check out him and all of the products from his website http://www.scottyamaguchi.kyanidistsite.com/index.html.  I'm not a representative or ambassador for them but I will fully vouch medically for their products. Just waiting, like I said to release my review. A small summary on what it is on is one of their products in particular. Created by Dr. Tan, Plus the TV Doctor OZ, had recommended Tocotrienols as the #1 miracle supplement of the year. My team and I have found that Tocotrienols help change the serotonin levels in the brain and helps slow down the synapses in the brain for cognitive development and help those that are suffering from any sensory processing disorder. The Tocotrienols are found in the Kyani Sunset. 

 Although this product helps with other things as well, I thought to push to see what the power of the tocotrienols would do in a brain of someone with Autism. Since my daughter is Autistic: finding things, healthy things and all natural substances to add to her diet is a high priority on my list. Even the creator Dr. Tan didn't even think to look at this in this way and I know he is eager for the full report as well.  

"Tocotrienols"

Tocotrienols and Tocopherols

"Several studies have shown that Tocopherols, particularly Alpha-Tocopherols, interfere with the health benefits of Tocotrienols. In one study, six groups of chickens were given varying levels of Tocopherols in addition to Tocotrienols. The chickens that were given little or no Tocopherols had the greatest reduction of lipids. The chickens given higher levels of Tocopherols actually increased cholesterol production. Additional studies have shown that Tocopherols interfere with cholesterol levels, absorption, and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Tocopherols have also been said to…

• Block absorption
• Compromise cholesterol reduction
• Attenuate cancer inhibition
• Induce tocotrienol breakdown/catabolism
• Increase cholesterol in high doses

The annatto bush, an oily plant that grows in South America, is the only natural compound in the world that offers pure Tocotrienols without the accompanying Tocopherols. Furthermore, annatto Tocotrienol has the highest Tocotrienol concentrations with 150 – 300 times fewer Tocopherols than rice and palm sources. Only Kyäni Sunset™ contains annatto Tocotrienols, offering the most health benefits."

All of the above information is found on Kyani's website that are surrounded by the "", but I wanted to show you their breakdown and meaning of the product specifically when it comes to the Tocotrienols. 

In case some of you are wondering why I would speak about a product that I don't promote in the MLM industries that I am in, then you didn't get what I meant when I started this blog. I research EVERYTHING. If something grabs my attention and I can see a bigger purpose for it, I want to share with my readers. Being in the MLM industry myself, I get to see a lot of new products and learn about how they are created and their why's. I'm not about business here. I'm about giving you information that you may not know on products you maybe looking for. If there is chance to get you off of a routine FDA guideline medication to get on an all-natural product instead then I'm definitely doing my job right. 

I believe this product can make a huge difference in the Autism community as well as the SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) community. I can't wait to release the official review from the Medical Board. 

If you haven't already, subscribe to my blog postings. You can also communicate and reach out to me via my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Life-Dosing-Drugs/199629780106700

I appreciate you taking the time to read today and remember I'm always here for questions. Plus if there are questions or you want me to write about a medication or anything healthcare/nutrition related: Please notify me! I've done a few for those that needed a breakdown on things and it is what I am here for! :) 

Also, I had a conversation with another company today about another product to look at for Autism and SPD. I'm excited to begin my studies on that as well and of course I will share the information!
