He had dismissed my most recently complaints of pain from active rheumatoid arthritis as "likely caused by stress of breaking up with boyfriend." I now knew where I stood with this doctor, based on his scrawled inaccurate descriptions of our visits.

The nurse appeared and witnessed me reading my documents and in exasperation claimed, "You're not supposed to be reading that!" grabbing folder out of my hand.

"They're my records," I said, "I don't understand why I can't."

"You just can't," she flustered. "It's not ethical."

She was wrong.

CAN I GET A COPY OF MY MEDICAL RECORDS? Usually. Most states allow patients to review their medical information, but some states don't address issue at all. Some may place restrictions on information you can get, for example, psychiatric information is most difficult to receive.

IS THE INFORMATION MINE? Technically, documents belong to whoever made them, but in most cases information about you belongs to you. Contact you State Department of Health to find out your rights in your state. The number is in your local yellow pages or at FDA web site at: www.fda.gov/oca/sthealth.htm.

How does it work? I tell you, if you promise to check it out...

-------------------------------- Part 1 - It began when I read... --------------------------------

...well-known author Deepak Chopra's book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind" (1). In his words, "My body is new at every moment. I, seer, am immune to aging. Everything in my body is under direct control of my awareness. I am constantly renewing."

And, as you can imagine, when you just lost over 70 pounds of ugly weight, it just sometimes does not look that easy to shape what's left into statue, get skin tight and essential parts to lift up again.

Since my wallet was also not in such great shape for ambitious plans I always seem to have, I read "A Happy Pocket Full of Money" (2), by David Cameron Gikandi. "The Science of getting Rich" (3), by Walles D Wattles, followed suit.

Only after devouring these astounding facts & ideas yourself can you possibly understand how they transformed my life in many, many ways. They not only opened up possibility of achieving what I had planned. They actively worked on my perspective on business and its formerly complex tasks to now easily create wealth.

It's truth: Once you elevate your thoughts, all things become so much simpler. Even better, once your thoughts are deeply planted, answer in its materialized form is being attractedto you, and occasionally walks right through your front-door, or shows up in your Inbox.

------------------------------------ Part 2 - My perfect Vision formed. ------------------------------------

Encouraged by possibilities, I made my plans as complete as I could. If I was to accomplish something this difficult, it might as well be perfect.

Let me just give you an excerpt of affirmed outlook I developed for my physical state of being (at age 52):

"I have a healthy firm, well-shapes athletic body with flawless baby skin, long, thick, shiny, naturally light brown hair, healthy finger and toe nails, straight white teeth and 20/20 vision."

How sure do you think I was when I first formulated that phrase?

Looking around, we are all falling apart when we hit HUGE five-zero, aren't we? After my latest accident, in which I was thrown of Polaris Magnum 4-wheeler into sand as we hit a knife-blade sand dune and vehicle turned over, landing on us, I had feeling I was incapable of healing for weeks.
