NOT A FUNNY VIDEO

[aindreasmac]

Hi Rodney, some prayers your way. Take one day at a time,

aindreas

[wilpri]

Thank you for that excellent viewpoint on taxation of available poisons. I am interested in what's going on with the national health care and I appreciated this.

[varjen]

best of luck to u

[alexallen1000]

Hope the news is good - good luck.

A free national health service is certainly not indicative of communism or a bad thing. It simply makes sense.

[hellorodney]

it does make sense, and that is why im not optimistic that anything will get done.

[alexallen1000]

I think Hilary Clinton was quite keen on universal healthcare during Bill's first term. Maybe she'll get a chance now with Obama.

[PPF24]

Good luck to you sir. I hope everything turns out well for you. I agree with your main topic, tax the junk. You didn't touch on it much but if cigarettes and booze are going to be taxed, as well should junk food. They all take about the same amount of time to destroy your body, one shouldn't be above the other. Keep the dialogue coming and once again hope all goes well.

[hellorodney]

thanks so much

[hellorodney]

thanks for watching

[Molgoth]

Respect to you my friend, you are right about everything :-)

I am only 20, but watching you shows me that age makes wisdom ;)

[hellorodney]

not in all cases,,,,,,but thanks

[1liljet]

Really good video.Best of luck Rodney.

I'll be praying for you.You seem like a pretty healthy guy and one tuff SOB.Don't freak out too much until Monday,K?Luv ya.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[helterskelter1]

Your in my thoughts

[hellorodney]

thanks, i appreciate that

[Mekel343]

I dont know if you are a religious man (you made a reference to Jesus Christ in your vid) but i will be keeping you in my prayers regardless. My grandmothers life was recently taken by cancer so i can empathize with the anxiety your friends and family must be going through.

Im glad i stopped by to see one of my original subscriptions: Hellorodney.

I hope your health care costs dont get you in over your head. If i was a wealthy man, i would gladly help you out, and i truly mean that, brother.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnnnk you,,,,im hoping its just a tumor withon the C-word

[mediascope]

Here, I just passed a kidney stone with very little pain this time. Had one about 14 years ago which involved an operation and lots of pain. I was just reading online about diet and learned there are some glands I need to check because they tend to enlarge and start pumping extra calcium into your system. No funds for that.. just going to add fresh lemon to my water and ride it out.

Thanks for the 'ol hellorodney flag...

Take care...

[hellorodney]

ill let my friend know about the lemon,,,i guess that help to do something with the stones????

[mediascope]

Yeah, sorry.. should have added that raw citrus helps dissolve stones. add olive oil if you are trying to move one.

For Thyroid things mentioned are coconut oil and Iodine.

Check place online called earthclinic. I like the format of people logging successes.

See:

Ailments,

"T",

Thyroid Issues.

I drink very little soda, thinking more about quitting my coffee habit.. This might inspire me to get in gear and stop both..

[mediascope]

Rodney be well bro..

Your ideas are great.. Tip of the iceberg though. When you realize that our tax money subsidizes farmers growing corn for the high-fructose corn syrup which is un-natural and killing us. Google "Royal Rife" and "Virginia Livingston" to learn about greed rampant in our medical system. Curing cancer is not profitable so brilliant ideas get squashed by AMA instead of funding. Wish we had an American ANTI-cancer society we could fund instead of things like HAARP.

[hellorodney]

thannnnk you

[periurban]

I wish you all the best and nothing but good health. You are very wonderful, and I don't like the idea of you getting sick.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you, and i dont like that idea either,,,,,

[periurban]

Tax sugar. Great idea. Tax refined carbohydrates. I'm with you. Fat is good for you. eat as much of it as you like, as long as you don't eat sugar. Sugar and refined carbohydrates cause cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, tooth decay, and all the other diseases of civilisation.

[hellorodney]

thanks so much victor

[Gimmeabreakman]

I'm not a God fearing man, HR, but you know I'd throw aside my principles and pray for you, man.

Good vlog.

Tax on junkfood.... not a bad idea.

[savvysymbiont]

its called "infantilism"

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[MGB1000]

Rodney...I have always liked you here on YT and with your good spirit, things should be fine. Wishing you the best. Keep us posted with the out come. Everything is going to be fine.

[MGB1000]

I love that idea on Taxes on the Junk Food. That is the best idea I have heard in a long time. Just think of the money that could be made. They could pay for SS and Health care with that type of tax.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[hellorodney]

thannnnk you

[jboothe7]

good video, and best of luck. i agree with your taxation idea... it basically extends the concept of what we are currently doing with high cigarette taxes, but it makes a lot of sense to put that money into a health care fund.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[bigbadlee1]

If you need medical help without insurance. I can send you a portion of my manuscript that I am in the processes of writing that can help you, if not totally, then somewhat. which can be a great help in many cases to obtain some free or almost free medical treatments. However since you own a home it may be a little difficult but not impossible. No lying to the government.

[hellorodney]

thanks so much,,,i appreciate that

[bigbadlee1]

my friend had that kind of cancer and it was advanced beyond the safty period. he is fine now after much trial and tribulation. He is on a lifetime medication. I'm wishing you the best. You are right on the money. I was very ill 7 years ago and had no health isurance. It wiped me out. Now I'm on medicare. There are 40 million without health care in this country. the richest country in the world. Countries that aren;t worth 35 cents have health care for their people.. (Continued in next box.)

[sillysillytom]

thank you for sharing

[hellorodney]

my pleasure

[marksplaceuk]

Hang on in there, hope things turn out alright

[hellorodney]

thannnnnnk you

[skibby]

Hang in there, Rodney, thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way!

[hellorodney]

thannnnnnnnks man

[tomthemd]

Hey Rodney, dont worry ahead.

Wait till they do the biopsy.

Check out my friend k6tpl - check out Jer's last video. He talks about problems with his prostate. Maybe you guys can talk and share experiences.

He's a very nice guy, so are you.

[hellorodney]

tough not to,,,,but thanks for your advice

[BruzdNee]

well said rodney, the US needs a national health service like yesterday. I hope it's nothing

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[DiGiTiLsOuL]

awesome video man, I hope its nothing.

[hellorodney]

thanks,,,,me too

[YouTees]

You are right on Rodney. "Health is US"!!! the IRS takes our money ahead of time and it is so often used worse than poorly and yet when you get sick or worse...they do not give a damn. Which is plain out disrespect for US...the people who this country is built by, on and supposed to belong TO. The republicans are putting forth many lies about Canada's health system(I have many CA friends who know the truth). Which FAR better than ours. I am ashamed of USA when it comes to this.. 5 stars.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnnk you

[MyHappySock]

I wish you well Rodney.

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[sleestack808]

I find it sooo ironic that the "Christians" in this country are against a national health plan when that is all that Jesus did was HEAL people. So, if Jesus were here today would they, backed by the lobbyists, be protesting against Jesus for giving away that great health care of his?

[MyHappySock]

There's a difference between giving it away for free and nationalizing it. There was no government behind Jesus dictating his deeds.

[sleestack808]

the philosophy is the same though. There is no concern for their fellow man. The opposite of Jesus' teachings

[hellorodney]

thanks for your conversation

[hellorodney]

thanks for your conversation

[sleestack808]

Its not about taking money from people to give to the poor you know? Thats always the argument. Its about making a choice about what we do with our taxes. Do we spend it on things that matter to us or matter to lobbyists? Why is it when we spend taxes to help the poor a lot of americans hate it, but spend it on bombs and they love it

[GreatGig1]

I have so much to say about this video...but I don't have enough characters! My suggestion is to grow your own food if and when you can, buy organic (our process foods are deadly and lacking in nutrition)...and try alternatives if you have the time to do it!! Getting into the "medical system" can be a nightmare so if you can prevent it, do! Look up the Gerson Therapy stuff...some interesting things in there. All the best to you, Rodney! I'll be sending healing energies your way...:-)

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Man, I hope you end up fine...

[hellorodney]

me too,,,,thanks

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

put down the sodas and junk food

[hellorodney]

amen,,,,i mean AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Its sad that people usually only realize how messed up the system is, whenever they're needing to use it.

[ShortbusMooner]

I'll keep thinking happy thoughts for you, hon. It very well might be because you worked in a mine.

And, you're totally right: a heavy tax on junk food would really be the answer! Good idea!

Much love, your Highness! :)

[hellorodney]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,,,LIFE IS GOOD,,,,

thannnnnnk you

[mickeh93]

found the analogy of the kid playing in the street with people with unhealthy diets very creative.

watched all 17 minutes by the way, great video, and good luck

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[DrJohnBecker]

Rodney, I wish only good things for you.

[hellorodney]

thank you

[lazlo5149]

Hang in there man. My mom just had to have a biopsy on a tumor on the lining of her lung. Neither the medical center nor her doctor's office would tell her the results of her test in advance of an appointment she had scheduled with a pulmonologist later that week. From that she concluded they didn't want to tell her because it was cancer, and that's the assumption we lived with for two or three days. It turned out to be a rare form of a benign tumor. You never know. Hope it turns out okay.

[hellorodney]

thanks for this story,,,,i hope your mom is doing well

[headunitdisplay]

Soy food is bad for the thyroid, watch out for it.

[hellorodney]

really,,,,thanks

[Maiyanna]

What an excellent vlog! You speak the truth.

I hope it all goes well for you. ;)

[hellorodney]

thannnnnk you

[MrCaltec]

I hope it ends up not being serious. Atleast you checked it out right away. I agree with you about taxing junk foods.They should also put some regulation on overpriced healthy foods. It seems rediculouse that low fat mayonaise for example is 1 to 2 dollars more. Organic food is actually less expensive to make but they charge nearly 20 to 30 percent more for it. Its insanity. Every one should be able to shop at whole foods and these days for most its a luxury. You have to be rich to be healthy.

[sleestack808]

Its not a conspiracy. Its probably because small company's are in whole foods and they can't buy in bulk to make their products so they have to charge more. Big companies have the money to buy their ingredients at such high volumes which helps them have lower prices

[PaualSirPaula]

whole foods is getting to be a very large company and most large food producers are getting in the organic game. I think it is indeed a price gauge

[sleestack808]

wild harvest is a large organic food producer. Check them out. Very affordable. I have a product in whole foods. If I bought organic essential oils they would be twice as much. Id have to have a higher volume to keep my rates the same. Its how all order books work. You order more, you pay less per unit. You watch, the large food producer products are cheaper. Whle foods 365 brand is VERY affordable.

[sleestack808]

there is also the case of supply and demand. If people want to pay a price, they will. If not, it will sit on the shelf. At the end of the day, its decided by the public

[hellorodney]

thanks for your conversation

[sleestack808]

sorry to be so verbose, but I think the real problem with obesity and junk food etc, is people by and large do not know how to cook. They couldn't tell you what red leaf lettuce looked like. If you go to a supermarket look at how many people are buying loads of boxed ready-made pop it in the microwave food

[hellorodney]

sounds logical to me

[hellorodney]

thanks for watching

[hellorodney]

thanks for your conversation

[hellorodney]

thanks for your conversation

[BrotherBearAZ]

We need some Bunny with Marracas on this one... Hey, dont be a fortune teller, just wait and see what the doc says.. Sometimes its not a yes and no thing too. But no matter what, AHH LIFE IS GOOD.... Right?

[hellorodney]

indeed,,,,LIFE IS GOOD

[TRex4eva]

This is terrible news. Try to keep positive thoughts .

[hellorodney]
