CHARLIE SHEEN ADMITS TO HAVING HIV





Hey it's your girl JA Nursing here,  As your health care advocate I certainly had to weigh in on this topic  Especially with  World Aids Day Coming up December 1 2015 . Last week  The former star of sitcom Two And A Half Men appeared on NBC's Today show, ending days of intense media speculation. 

 

"I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths," he said, adding he was diagnosed four years ago.  Lets not forget the many other celebrities  who came out but have since passed. Like Easy E. Freddie Mercury. Sheen has now joined the ranks of Magic  Johnson    who   confirmed  his diagnosis publicly back in 1991,  then  a 32 year old Johnson , shocked the world when he announced that he was HIV-positive,
  
We know now that Anyone can be infected with HIV, no matter...
  • your age
  • your sex
  • your race or ethnic origin
  • who you have sex with 

.  In August Basketball legend and business mogul Magic Johnson turned  56, Giving hope that you can live longer  with the right treatment.
In a  article cited by writer  @jamilahking

 It's a message that Johnson himself has helped promote in the black community since his diagnosis. "I'm the blessing because people were talking about it, they ran out and got tested at that time," Johnson told CNN in 2013. "Then I'm the curse, because people now say, 'Oh well, HIV is nothing, because if I get it, I can be like Magic. He's doing good, and I can do the same thing he's doing or take the same medicine he's taking and I'll be okay.' But what they don't understand, in 22 years, millions of people have died."
 

DID YOU KNOW That  more than   75%  of HIV  diagnoses  in  Ontario's  Black Community are  attributed to heterosexual transmission? from our friends over at Black C.A.P
More than 75% of HIV diagnoses in Ontario’s Black community are attributed to heterosexual transmission. HIV incidence has been stable or increasing in Canadians exposed to HIV through heterosexual sex since 2008. According to 2011 national HIV estimates, 34% of HIV-positive people whose infection is attributable to a heterosexual exposure remain undiagnosed. That is why it is so important that you get tested, know your status and always use protection – even for heterosexual sex. - See more at: http://www.blackcap.ca/page.php?u=/hiv-aids-awareness/heterosexual-fact-sheets-%E2%80%93-hiv-and-stis#sthash.pfjN5g5y.dpuf

It  has been  a little over a week since Charlie Sheen has admitted to being HIV positive new headlines state that


Charlie Sheen could be sued by 700 ex-lovers over 'HIV sex' as his confession sparks Hollywood panic.

    'Bad decision'


    "I think I release myself from this prison today," he said.
    He admitted that his use of drink and drugs was a "bad decision" but said it was "impossible" that he would have passed HIV on to anyone else.
    The actor said he does not know how he contracted the virus but stressed he does not feel any stigma attached to the illness.

     It's a hard three letters to absorb."
    Sheen appeared with his doctor, Robert Huizenga, who said his daily medication has suppressed the virus and he is "absolutely healthy".
    "Charlie has an undetectable level of the virus in his blood," he said.
    When asked to respond to rumours Sheen has Aids, Dr Huizenga said: "Charlie does not have Aids - that's when the virus suppresses the immune system. He is healthy."

    Like many........

    Sheen said his "personal disbelief and shame and anger" at the initial diagnosis "led to a descent into substance abuse and fathomless drinking".
    But now he feels he has "the responsibility to better myself and help a lot of other people. With what we're doing today, others may come up and say, 'Thanks Charlie, thanks for kicking the door open'."


    Now lets get back to the reality in our city. The 6ix. Tdot,  With World Aids day approaching  on  December 1 I had to resurrect this blog ordinarily posted  Dec 1 2014- with updated information.  The news and blogs  can be quite entertaining to the issues that he is facing. But the bigger reality is that right here in my city their is someone going through this health crisis as I am writing this blog.



    Thank you to our friends over at Catie for this Information.  As your  Health care advocate my Mission is to help you navigate to the right information.Working in health care for the last 15 years has brought about a reality that  common  reasons for re  admissions  patients is due to lack of knowledge and lack of  complete literacy regarding their current health conditions.

    HIV is a virus that can make you sick.
    HIV (or Human Immunodeficiency Virus) weakens your immune system, your body’s built-in defence against disease and illness.
    Anyone can be infected with HIV. You can have HIV without knowing it. You may not look or feel sick for years, but you can still pass the virus on to other people.
    Without HIV treatment, your immune system can become too weak to fight off serious illnesses. HIV can also damage other parts of your body. Eventually, you can become sick with life-threatening infections. This is the most serious stage of HIV infection, called AIDS (or Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome).
    There is no vaccine to prevent HIV.
    There is no cure for HIV… but there is treatment.
    There is no cure for HIV, but with proper care and treatment, most people with HIV can avoid getting AIDS and can stay healthy for a long time.
    Anti-HIV drugs have to be taken every day. They cannot get rid of HIV but they can keep it under control.

    DID YOU KNOW? That Only five body fluids can contain enough HIV to infect someone: blood, semen (including pre-cum), rectal fluid, vaginal fluid and breast milk.
    HIV can only get passed when one of these fluids from a person with HIV gets into the bloodstream of another person—through broken skin, the opening of the penis or the wet linings of the body, such as the vagina, rectum or foreskin.
    HIV cannot pass through healthy, unbroken skin.
    The two main ways that HIV can get passed between you and someone else are:
    • through unprotected sex (anal or vaginal sex without a condom)
    • by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs (including steroids)
    HIV can also be passed:
    • by sharing needles or ink to get a tattoo
    • by sharing needles or jewellery to get a body piercing
    • by sharing acupuncture needles
    • to a fetus or baby during pregnancy, birth or breast-feeding
    HIV cannot be passed by:
    • talking, shaking hands, working or eating with someone who has HIV
    • hugs or kisses
    • coughs or sneezes
    • swimming pools
    • toilet seats or water fountains
    • bed sheets or towels
    • forks, spoons, cups or food
    • insects or animals
    For more on how HIV is transmitted, please visit CATIE’s How transmission occurs page.




    HIV can be passed during unprotected sex.
    This means:
    • vaginal or anal sex without a condom
    • oral sex without a condom or dental dam (a piece of latex used to cover the vulva or anus)
    • sharing sex toys
    Oral sex is not as risky as vaginal or anal sex, but it’s not completely safe.

    Protect yourself and your partner(s) from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

    You can have sex with little or no risk of passing on or getting HIV. This is called safer sex.
    Safer sex also helps protect you and your partner(s) from other STIs, such as gonorrhea and syphilis.
    People can have HIV or other STIs without knowing it because these infections often do not cause symptoms. You could have HIV or another STI and not know it. Also, don’t assume that your partner know(s) whether they have HIV or any other STI. The only way to know for sure is to be tested.

    To practise safer sex…
    • Use a latex or polyurethane condom correctly every time you have vaginal or anal sex.
    • Use only water-based or silicone-based lubricants. (Oil-based lubricants can make latex condoms break.)
    • Get tested for STIs regularly. Having an STI increases your risk of getting and passing on HIV.
    • Avoid sharing sex toys, and if you do, cover each one with a new condom before each use. It is also important to clean your toys between vaginal and anal use.
    • Use a condom or dental dam every time you have oral sex.
    • Choose forms of sexual stimulation that pose little or no risk for HIV, like masturbation or sensual massage.
    Thank you to our Friends at Casey House for this snap shot of Toronto.

    A Snapshot Of HIV/AIDS In Toronto

    • Every day, two Torontonians are newly infected with HIV
    • More than 1 in 4 new HIV diagnoses in Toronto are among young people under 30
    • 65% of new infections in Toronto occur in men who have sex with men
    • Women represent 1 in 5 new HIV diagnoses in Toronto

    More people live with HIV today than ever before—not just around the world but right here in #Toronto.

    The message is clear 


    With the  winter months bringing about loneliness and poor choices for some, we must remember that theses facts are real. This has been watching out for Health with Michelle Smith Your Health and Social Advocate. This is a message for all Wrap it Up, Get Tested and be knowledgeable about your risks and your health.

    Bye Felicia ! A Guide to Removing Emotional Vampires out of Your life





    Hey It's your girl JA Nursing here, how have you all been? So  as we  get closer to the end of the year it's that  time to wipe away negative people and situations out of  our lives. So one day  I heard someone say #ByeFelicia, with keeping that in mind
    Emotional vampires are lurking everywhere and wear many different disguises–from needy relatives to workplace bullies. Whether they do so intentionally or not, these people can make us feel overwhelmed, depressed, defensive, angry, and wiped out.

    The phrase "Bye, Felicia" came from the American stoner buddy crime comedy film Friday (1995). According to Ice Cube, who starred in the film and co-wrote its script, "Bye, Felicia" is "the phrase 'to get anyone out of your face.'"[1]



    You can’t live a positive life around negative people. Sadly, some people love  seeing the negative side of things that they leave zero room for positive things to grow.
    The first step to getting rid of them is to remove any negative people from your Facebook and phone book as you can. It can be emotionally draining just being around them, and you must be careful because their negative attitudes and opinions are contagious.

    Negativity fuels itself, breeds dissatisfaction and clutters the mind. And when the mind is cluttered with negativity, happiness is hard to come by. Ignore these people and move on from them when you must. Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough! Letting go of negative people doesn’t mean you hate them, or that you wish them harm; it just means you care about your own well-being.

    Because every time you subtract negative from your life, you make room for more positive. Here's   your 7 Bye Felicia people that you need to remove from your Circle ASAP

    1. The  drama queen/king. Some people love to stir up controversy and drama for no apparent reason. Don’t buy in to their propaganda. Stay out of other people’s drama and don’t needlessly create your own. Keep your  calm  and replace the stink of confrontation with the fragrance of resolution.  The more drama they want to stir, the calmer and more confidently you need to think and speak. Don’t let them get to you. Always remember why you  exist; ignore their  antics and focus on kindness.  I  have learned how to express my self from a place of peace, hence my daily motivational quotes, I decided to use my voice quite some time ago  for good – to inspire, to encourage, to educate, and to spread the notions of compassion and understanding. Put this is something that takes time.  Of course  I am human and going  0-100 real quick has been a daily journey for me.



     2. The person you have failed to please a hundred times before. Some people are impossible to please; you will not be able to break through to them no matter what you do. Accept this harsh as a fact of life. Throughout your lifetime some people will discredit you, disrespect you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all. Don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval. And don’t make any space in your heart to hate them. Simply walk away and let karma deal with the things they do, because any bit of time you spend on them will be wasted, and any bit of hate and aggravation in your heart will only hurt you.  They have even gone as far as to call them

    3. The naysayer who always dumps on your dreams.  We all know that person  YOU  NEED TO Stop giving credit to those who discredit your dreams. These people are punishing your potential by slowly extinguishing your inner flame with their watered down vision of what you are capable of achieving. If you give in and let their negativity convince you of who you are, their madness will  tear you down. You  could potentially become  who they say you are, rather than living honestly as yourself. In this way, these people will steal your life from you. You will lose track of where their opinion ends and your reality begins. Their fiction will become your life’s story. So look beyond their presumptions and mental limitations, and connect with your own best vision of what YOU are capable of and how YOUR life can be. Life, after all, is an open-ended journey, and 99% what you achieve comes directly from what you work to achieve on a daily basis.

    4. The manipulator. Beware of manipulators, or bullies, who try to use their negativity to intimidate and manipulate your thoughts. If you observe them from a distance, you will realize that these people are often overly self-referential. In other words, the people around them (YOU) fit into their plan simply based on how they can be used or manipulated for their own personal gain. These people routinely prioritize their own feelings and needs over and above everyone else’s. They will demand that you bend over to help them, but if, heaven forbid, you need help, they will not be able to stand it. Bottom line: Some people will say and do anything, thoughtlessly, to get others to do what they want them to do. Do not accept this behavior as normal. When someone tries to bully you, stand up for yourself and say, “Not so fast,  Felicia ! Your delusion of superiority is your problem, not mine.” And if they refuse to reason with you, walk away without a fight.

    5. The stubborn one who insists you should be someone else. In the long run, it’s always better to be disrespected for who you are than respected for who you are not. In fact, the only relationships that work well are the ones that make you a better person without changing you into someone other than yourself.  I have always said my goal is to change the face of knowledge. PEOPLE always assume and have a opinion of  Who Michelle Smith JA Nursing should be  without preventing  me from outgrowing the person I used to be. Unfortunately, families and old friends often fail to recognize how you’ve changed and grown over the years. They also tend to label you in an unfair way based on who you used to be; and it’s easy to end up conforming to these labels because you remember when they were true.
    What’s important to remember is that you’re the only person in the world who knows what’s happening inside your head right now. People who don’t know you well may assume you’re someone else entirely. And people who think they know you well may have pigeonholed you – but you know there’s more to you than what they see. When you ignore their opinions and decide to be who you are, instead of who they want you to be, you open yourself up to real love, real happiness, and real success. There is no need to put on a mask. There is no need to pretend to be someone you’re not. You don’t have control over what others think about you, but you do have control over how you decide to internalize their opinions. Leave them to their own judgments. Don’t feel threatened and don’t conform just to please them. Let people love you for who you are, and not for who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose. They can’t harm you either way; it’s their understanding that is faulty, not yours.

     6. The unforgiving friend who refuses to forgive you for your mistakes. The most honorable thing is not to never make mistakes, but to admit to them when you do make them, and then to follow through and do your best to make the wrong things right. Mistakes are part of growing. They are a natural part of every worthwhile endeavor. If someone refuses to support you as you grow beyond your past mistakes, they are now the one that’s making a mistake. Holding on to the unchangeable past is a waste of energy and serves no purpose in creating a better day today. If someone continuously judges you by your past, holds it against you, and refuses to forgive you, you might have to repair your present and future by leaving them behind.



    7. The inner critic. Boom! Wake-up call! Yes, sadly, the inner critic is inside YOU. Self-criticism often goes hand in hand with unhappiness and anxiety, and it’s completely unjustified. There is no reason to be your own biggest critic – No one is perfect and  all changes occurs in stages.  All you really need is the courage to be yourself. Your real value is rooted in who you are, not who you aren’t. The flaws you often see in yourself are only the qualities of your own individuality. There is something unique and special about you. You are different. You will never be as good as someone else, and they will never be as good as you. Just as no two snowflakes are alike, your fingerprints are different from every other being on Earth. You are meant to be different. You are here to express who you are and enjoy what you have at this very moment. When you accept this, there is no reason to compare yourself to someone or something you aren’t. There is nothing for the inner critic to complain about. Every morning when you wake up, think of three things that are going well in YOUR life at the moment. As you fall asleep every night, fill your mind with an appreciation for all the small things that went well during the day. Examine the goodness that is YOUR life, and let your inner critic overhear the five-star reviews about YOU. Afterthoughts When people undermine your dreams, predict your doom, criticize you, and generally resist the truth about who you are, remember, they’re telling you their own sad story, not yours. They’re dumping their own doubts into the air. Ignore them. If the person doing this is you (your inner critic), try giving up all the thoughts and contemplation's that make you feel bad, or even just some of them, for the rest of the day. See how doing that changes your life. You don’t need these negative thoughts. All they have ever given you is a false self that suffers for no reason. Your turn… What kind of negativity do you struggle to defend yourself against? How do you cope?

    A Health Care Coach Makes You A Winner Join In !








    Hi Its your Health Advocate Michelle Smith here,  With the launch of  my new program Health  Care Shield , I just wanted to welcome you to this  wonderful journey that you will be embarking on. I will  explore what most health-care providers and fitness coaches will  overlook (like self-love, environmental influences, social determinants, and  medical factual knowledge. 

    If you are still wondering Why  you should use a Health Coach/Advocate . Let me start off by letting you know that  we work in conjunction with  your trainer, health care provider  to help mold habits that will stay. We will  teach you how to achieve your optimal health goals for not only yourself but this is knowledge that will suite the needs of your whole family.  We give you the power through knowledge to be in charge of your health. We believe in teamwork for wellness.


    The words Health and wellness are often used interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings. Health is a "State of complete physical, mental, and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
    Wellness, on the other hand, is defined as the overall process of maintaining a general state of good health. Wellness involves conscious decisions on the part of the individual In modern usage, however, the combined phrase "health and wellness" has come to mean the pursuit of overall physical, mental, and emotional health. This term is used frequently in various contexts, all aimed at promoting a better lifestyle.



    We Offer workshops to groups  all ages providing the knowledge  needed to succeed through all milestones of life. We Work with the community to teach our youths  how to be health  and socially literate; which will encourage and foster the best life style practices.  

    When working with our team you are guaranteed to be a winner. We strive on giving you all the knowledge you need to be at your best with life time knowledge. For the Record many will claim that they are health coaches by using exercise as a tool to gester knowledge. FALSE   Here is  some tips for helping you pick the right Coach for YOU

     

    It's up to you to decide if you're comfortable with the level of training and experience of the coach you intend to hire.

    If you have a specific illness or medical concern, ask their experience working with individuals like you. Are they licensed to treat people with medical issues? Are they aware of specific needs you may have or certain limitations? 

    In some cases, it may be important to find someone who is both a licensed health care provider and a holistic health coach (there are a few of us out there!). We're trained to handle any medical issues that may come up and facilitate healthy changes in the safest and most effective way.We are your navigation specialist that take you and your family one step further by being able to be your Voice
     


    As complex human beings, our health is a combination of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. When striving to make health changes it's important to be mindful of all areas of our well-being.

    Many coaches are trained in one thing: nutrition, personal training, spiritual guidance, behavior change or weight loss.

    Not all coaches  are equipped to handle all aspects of your health that's OK!  but always make sure that you Understand your needs properly........

    Your  initial assessment at the gym can really make you feel as if you are making BiG changes! Yes you are,   But always remember  to ask how the tools that you need to spend more money on  how it will be a  real life changer.


    Always remember that your Doctor is the only person you will know for your entire life:  because  he or she is the loony one who can sign your Birth and Death certificate. So know what is needed for you to stay current with your health. After all we  all are  predisposed to something regardless of age.




    A coach should be aware of the importance of treating people holistically and have the tools — or a good referral network — to help you in key areas during your quest for better health. 

    For this reason Our programs works with You, your fitness trainer, your Doctor to give you the results. 

     


     Is LACK OF KNOWLEDGE A DISEASE? 


    Just a Quick Reminder be sure to ask your Coach What tools  they  have to help you get  Unstuck ?

    Most people seek the help of a fitness trainer,health coach  when they're stuck. They've tried to make changes but have found blocks, resistance and challenges.
    Usually when clients come to me "stuck," it's because they have reached a road block with their health care provider along with requiring  some time to explore  the mental, emotional or spiritual factors that affect their health. 


    Exploring these areas can be intimidating and scary. A coach should be able to sit in this space with you and feel comfortable with the uncomfortable stuff that comes up. They also have the tools and training to do this with you in a safe, healing environment.

    It is important for you to be able to advocate for your self  always ask you fitness guru  When would you refer me to a licensed health care provider?

    It's very important to be clear with your coach what their scope of practice is. Many coaches are not medically trained and are not licensed to diagnose, assist, or understand symptoms that you may or may not tell them.
    Just because a coach has worked with people with a certain disease doesn't mean they're certified or qualified to give you the right information to help you get the right  treatment.

     

    A good  and confident coach will know their limitations and will  be willing to discuss them with you. They should be comfortable admitting, "I don't know how to help you with this" or saying, "I think a more thorough work-up by a health care provider is needed."


    Lastly another question that you should always ask yourself when starting a new health journey is  will I still be in control of my health?
    Lasting health changes only occur when a client takes ownership of her own healing. We're unique, intricate beings with different personalities, motivations and challenges.
    It takes time for me to intimately understand my clients and guide them toward the best methods and approaches for them. One size does not fit all!


    I love when people say to me, "that won't work for me" because we get to come up with lots of ideas on how to make health work better for them. In fact, when something doesn't work it usually helps us more specifically find what does ... and this is how we create success in our health!
    Hiring a health coach can be a great addition to your health care team. Asking the right questions will help guide you in finding the best fit for your needs.
