FAA Medical Question

This 'unintended experiment' more or less led me to
conclude most of us with class 2 or 3 physicals may only see an MD for
a regular check up as part of of flight physical, and that is probably
the first time many of us learn of an underlying problem.

Yep, describes me to the tee. 2 very serious conditions for me was
discovered during my medical. One as described in my prior post
extreme hypertension and another was pre-melanoma freckle on my back
that look like a freckle to me. Both considered silent killers since
I had no "symptoms" to complain about.

So, this pilot doesn't complain about the nuances of the medical
process.

Of course I now see a doctor once a year for my BP medication renewal
but even then it's less then an FAA medical review.

As a nurse and pilot, I have been asked many times how to regulate b/p and cholesterol issues naturally, and the easy answer is to reduce fat/cholesterol and sodium in your diet. Sadly for many, thats not enough in large part to hereditary issues.

In my search to help these people, I have come across a supplement that lowers cholesterol, b/p, triglycerides, and manages blood sugar/insulin ratios. I tried this myself, sure that it must be a scam because it sounded too good to be true, as nurses and doctors are trained to be very skeptical about things like this. I have had very good results, and have started recommending it to my patients, friends and family. And they, too, are having great results with it. Even to the point of getting off their meds.

For about $2 a day. I am now a firm believer in this stuff, and will share the information with anyone and everyone, as who wouldn't want to change their health without meds and their side effects.

email me and i will be happy to share this info. with you.
