Can you tell Russia is getting fed up with the crap?

I have a need to write about a drug that was first given to me by an elderly Russian cardiologist. She is now long retired, but she was the best doctor I have ever had. She was very old school and very good in her knowledge of heart issues. It is the information that she gave me and Svetochka years ago, that continues to be the catalyst for my continual improvement in my condition. There is two pills that will never leave my side as I grow older and older. The first is cardiac aspirin in the 80mg dosage. This thins my blood and will be my companion for life. The next drug is Kardiket…
Kardiket has given me my life back and allows me to live life free of many issues. It is a very powerful drug and misused it can be a killer. Fast killer!
I take it twice a day and it stabilizes me to the point that I am able to exercise, work and play with very little issues. I know that I will take this nitro long term pill for life and am thankful that it is dirt cheap in Russia. Just a few bucks for a months supply…
Sadly: Kardiket is very expensive in the west. I see prices approaching $100 a month for the amount I take every month and that is a very big issue in the western world and one of the many things I talk about on this blog. I take a life saving drug for pennies on the dollar, in comparison to what I would pay if I still lived in the states…
Here is Kardiket and the information of who, what and why…
* * * * * * * * * *
Name: Kardiket
Pharmachologic effect:
Kartiket has antianginal effects. It consists of isosorbide dinitrate (organic nitrate). Increase peripheral arteries and veins. This is accompanied by a deposit in the peripheral vascular blood network, thereby reducing venous return to the heart, reduced end-diastolic pressure, decreased volumetric filling of the left ventricle. For internal use is dissolved in a few minutes in the stomach. The release of active substance from the pellets is observed for a prolonged time. The effect is to quickly and lasts for a long time. Rapidly absorbed, it takes effect within 15 minutes. The maximum blood concentration is observed after 15 minutes (maintained for 1-2 hours). Bioavailability is 22%, blood proteins bind 30% of the drug. In hepatocytes transformed to isosorbide-2-mononitrate and isosorbide-5-mononitrate. The half-life of metabolites – 4-6 and 1.5-2 hours respectively. It eliminated by the kidneys as metabolites.
Indications for use:
• heart ischemic disease therapy for a long time, the prevention of angina attacks;
• prevention infarction (secondary) – used long-acting dosage forms kardiket;
• as part of a treatment for chronic heart failure (diuretics, cardiac glycosides, and angiotensin-converting factor).
Mode of application:
The therapy begins with the most minimal doses. increase the dose to the most effective should be carried out slowly. The duration of therapy is determined individually by your doctor. Designed exclusively for prolonged use, so you can not abruptly stop use kardiket without consulting a doctor.
Kardiket administered orally, washed down with a small amount of water, regardless of meals. Do not chew. When you need to separate in half a tablet is placed on a hard surface so that the fault line was on top and press down with your finger on the line.
Tablets prolonged by 20 mg administered on 1 piece, 2 times a day. If necessary, the dosage may be increased – 1 tablet 3 times daily.
Prolonged tablets 40 mg is first applied on one tablet / day (or half tablets 2 times a day). If necessary, increase the dose to one pill 2 times per day with an interval of at least 8 hours.
Tablets prolonged by 60 mg administered as initial therapy: 1 tablet / day. If necessary, increase to 2 tablets / day at intervals of at least 8 hours.
The long-acting capsules are used by 120 mg / day.
Side effects:
Cardiovascular system: nitrate headaches (at the beginning of therapy) – usually disappear after a few days of taking the drug; hypotension, palpitations, orthostatic collapse, lethargy, feeling of weakness, paradoxical bradycardia, loss of consciousness against the background of decrease in heart rate (syncope), paradoxical angina.
Central nervous system: drowsiness, blurred vision, stiffness, ischemic disorders, slowing the speed of the psycho-motor response.
Gastrointestinal: vomiting, nausea, dry mouth, epigastrium pain, belching.
Allergic reactions: urticaria.
Other: exfoliative dermatitis, the development of tolerance to kardiket or other nitrate drugs, redness of the skin.
Contraindications:
Absolute:
• acute myocardial infarction, which is accompanied by a significant decrease in blood pressure;
• shock, collapse and other forms of acute cardiovascular insufficiency;
• hypotension with figures in systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg .;
• closure form of glaucoma with a significant increase in intraocular pressure;
• heart disease – Mitra and / or aortic stenosis;
• traumatic brain injury;
• hemorrhagic stroke;
• persons under 18 years (since the safety and efficacy for use in this age group have not been established);
• hypersensitivity to other nitrates;
• hypovolemia;
• combination with tadalafil, sildenafil, varnenafrilom (and other inhibitors of the enzyme 5-type diesterazy) – since These drugs increase blood pressure reduction of nitrates.
Relative:
• cardiomyopathy hypertrophic obstructive (risk of increased frequency of angina attacks);
• cardiac tamponade;
• severe anemia;
• pulmonary edema toxic origin;
• constrictive pericarditis;
• hemorrhagic stroke, bleeding in the brain.
Pregnancy:
Pregnant and lactating mothers kardiket appointed only if the anticipated positive effects for women prevail over potential risk to the fetus (child).
Interaction with other drugs:
When co-administered with other vasodilators, means to lower blood pressure, slow calcium channel blockers, antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants, ethanol, quinidine, blockers, inhibitors of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, novokainamidom, drugs to treat impotence kardiket hypotension effect is potentiated.
In combination with dihydroergotamine hypotensive effect is enhanced by increasing the latter in its blood concentration. Reducing kardiket anti-anginal effect can occur when combined with sympathomimetics and alpha-blockers.
The most efficient in the treatment of coronary heart disease is a combination of co-administration kardiket with nifedipine, propranolol, amiodarone.
Simultaneous treatment with acetylsalicylic acid improves blood circulation in coronary vessels.
Increased intraocular pressure is possible with a combination kardiket with atropine or other M-holinoblokatorami. Kardiket absorption from the stomach is reduced enveloping and binding agents.

Additionally:
With tendency to hypotension, increased intracranial pressure, renal and or hepatic insufficiency, increased peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, hypothyroidism, malabsorption, the elderly should be used carefully under constant medical supervision.
Do not use for the relief of angina attacks. the appointment of the drug should be avoided in high doses – with the possible development of tolerance to both kardiket and other nitrates (cross tolerance).
When administered to patients with pulmonary diseases (primary) may develop transient hypoxemia as a result of redistribution of blood in less ventilated areas of the lung. If the patient has coronary heart disease – it can provoke myocardial ischemia transient in nature.
In acute cardiovascular disease and / or myocardial infarction in the acute phase must be careful medical observation of the patient, which takes kardiket.
Do not abruptly cancel the drug due to the risk of increased frequency of angina attacks.
If a patient develops angina while taking kardiket – must also enter the number of fast-acting nitrates. dose selection is carried out individually depending on the blood pressure. By paradoxical nitrate reaction reactions include lowering blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension, decreased blood pressure after ingestion of alcohol (ethanol), during exercise in hot weather. This may increase angina manifestations up to the development of myocardial infarction or sudden death.
In severe headache while taking kardiket must assign mentolsoderzhaschie drugs (validol) and or reduce the dose of kardiket.
At very frequent use may develop addiction, requiring an increase in dosage. To prevent such a state you must follow the mode of reception kardiket: needs daily medication-free interval (usually at night for 9-12 hours). This is more efficient than the constant intervals without kardiket therapy.
Treatment is canceled if the intake of kardiket there is a pronounced dry mouth and blurred vision, which are expressed strongly enough.
At the time of treatment kardiket absolutely can not drink alcohol and ethanol-containing preparations. During treatment is not recommended to drive vehicles engaged in the production of which requires intense concentration and focus speed photodisintegration reactions.

I know boring and dull! But hey it just may save your life and knowledge is the key to advancement and or a better existence…
As I said yesterday, Boza has now joined me in a daily medicine program and as we all get older, it seems that we must take pills and or drops in the eyes in Boza’s case, if it keeps us alive and doing better? We must do what we must…
Have a nice day and you just learned something new today…
WtR
Gotta respect this guy! Find a politician that talks from his soul and heart about his country like Putin. The western media reporters pushed him and they got what was coming…
WtR
As you know Boza has a genetic blindness issue!
The veterinarians have given us a human drug also used for dogs in Russia and said, “See if it helps.” First drug in a drop form is Visomitin. Visomitin is a Russian drug invented for eye issues…
An international team of scientists led by researchers from the Lomonosov Moscow State University succeeded to clarify the molecular mechanism of a drug created in Russia and designed to prevent the damaging of cell mitochondria by reactive oxygen species. This work is published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity.Recently, Russian researchers, led by Prof. Vladimir P. Skulachev, managed to create an antioxidant drug that selectively accumulates within mitochondria and protects them from oxidative damage. Under the trade name “Visomitin” the drug was approved for treatment of such eye diseases as cataracts and dry eye. Prof. Armen Mulkidjanian of the Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the University of Osnabrück, Germany, and his colleagues have explained why very small doses of synthetic antioxidants such as “Visomitin” could give a pronounced therapeutic effect, despite the presence of large quantities of natural mitochondrial antioxidants.The second drug in a drop form is Quinax a Senile cataract, traumatic cataract, congenital cataract & secondary cataract eye drop treatment. Also for humans…
Quinax seems to be a Swiss made and or invented product…
Boza gets Visomitin first, one drop per eye twice a day. Then ten minutes after the Visomitin, he gets one drop of Quinax in each eye…
* * * * * * * * * *
By God in Heaven! Boza has regained some sight!
In two days of use, he has regained just about 20% to 25% of his original sight. While that is not seeing very good, he went from darkness to being able to see me at about 10 to 20 feet given the lighting available. I can now hold up a piece of food and he is able to see my arm move and actually see the food…
Most likely we will have to use these drops the rest of his life, but from what I understand, they correct the genetic damage done by the immune system to a minor degree, by substituting chemicals that are absorbed by the eye during application and these chemicals effect the ability of the remaining receptors and help them work, plus keep them from dying also….Boza has a case of too much oxygen in his eyes and that kills the receptors…
* * * * * * * * * *
What does this mean?
It means Boza can now see well enough to help himself in many cases, he saw his girlfriend doggy last night and he is dancing his doggy dance as he walks around…
Svetochka said last night, “It makes you realize that sometimes drugs and such are really useful and wonderful!”
Amen to that!
WtR
I just walked Boza and something really cool happened…
It was a great welcome home from a kid I have never met before. He walked by Boza and I with his mother, brother and sister, then he turned and looked at Boza and I and put up his hand and gave us the Vulcan Salute…
He stood there and was serious, his mother turned to say something to him, but stopped, as I gave him the Vulcan Salute back. The boy then smiled and turned around to his mother…
The mother looked at me and one of those rare Russian smiles appeared and she grabbed her boys hand and the whole group walked away…
I was having a bad day until then, then I felt good inside. The little boy had given me the reason I love Russia. Life is simply sincere and pleasant here…

October 10th, 2006, I flew from America to Russia. I was sick and was actually on my deathbed and the trip was hell in itself. I was not sure after I landed if I was going to make it. I got very sick. I was not long after my sixth heart attack and only about a year from the last of the chemo for a brain tumor. I remember very little about the first week…
Today is October 10th, 2016 and officially it has been ten years that I have lived in Russia. With all its up and downs. But one fact is; I am a hundred times in better health than I was in America and America had me on so many drugs, that I would never have made it. I still remember that I took six antidepressants at the same time…

Russia is home!
It cannot be any clearer than what I experienced this last week. The west is not home to anyone, except, corporations. I realized that in the west the people in general are in prison. A self-allowed prison, just because of fear…
Fear of what?
Who knows! Maybe themselves?
* * * * * * * * * *
My grandma would have said, “Good and bad things come in threes!” If you had three things to do, they would all be good or all bad…
The three things that had to be done were all good and or at least more good than bad…
1. The car got its engine and it works perfectly…
2. I made it out of Russia and back…
3. Boza is blind, but at least he is the kind of blindness that does not cause him pain and suffering…
* * * * * * * * * *
I think that traveling to the west is done! I will do what I have to do to keep from going through the degrading procedures that are common place in the west. Travel should slowly come to a halt in the west and if you travel the east, you would see what I mean…
The west has lost the war with terrorists and nothing you do will win it; except to get your mind back on track and stop being a wussy about life around you. One day that safe space will be surrounded by a wall and you will never get out…
* * * * * * * * * *
Oh and by the way! The anti-Russian hysteria in Europe is just psychotic and beyond healthy! It has to end and America needs the same treatment to end it…
Western Empire = Schizophrenic…

Boza
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is an issue that Boza knows well…
Humans can suffer a similarly devastating disease process called retinitis pigmentosa…
Boza says, “Life goes on and we put up with the cards we are dealt!”

So! We killed Bin Laden, got ass whooped by a bunch of goat herders and are still fighting to this day… Reminds me of getting our asses handed to us by North Vietnam…. Except now we are too stupid to get the hell out!
15 years my friends! Fifteen years and counting….and they did nothing to us! We lied and started a war…
It is not over and looks to be going to continue for a long time at this rate. Just like Iraq is still going on, Libya is still going on and everyday people, innocent people die in these countries due to our hand in their affairs…
I am watching western media praise the war in Afghanistan. Talking heads are dancing the good dance for the war complex….Bobble heads are bouncing in agreement…

Obama Warned to Defuse Tensions with Russia
A group of ex-U.S. intelligence officials is warning President Obama to defuse growing tensions with Russia over Syria by reining in the demonization of President Putin and asserting White House civilian control over the Pentagon.
ALERT MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
SUBJECT: PREVENTING STILL WORSE IN SYRIA
We write to alert you, as we did President George W. Bush, six weeks before the attack on Iraq, that the consequences of limiting your circle of advisers to a small, relatively inexperienced coterie with a dubious record for wisdom can prove disastrous.* Our concern this time regards Syria.
We are hoping that your President’s Daily Brief tomorrow will give appropriate attention to Saturday’s warning by Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova: “If the US launches a direct aggression against Damascus and the Syrian Army, it would cause a terrible, tectonic shift not only in the country, but in the entire region.”
Speaking on Russian TV, she warned of those whose “logic is ‘why do we need diplomacy’ … when there is power … and methods of resolving a problem by power. We already know this logic; there is nothing new about it. It usually ends with one thing – full-scale war.”
We are also hoping that this is not the first you have heard of this – no doubt officially approved – statement. If on Sundays you rely on the “mainstream” press, you may well have missed it. In the Washington Post, an abridged report of Zakharova’s remarks (nothing about “full-scale war”) was buried in the last paragraph of an 11-paragraph article titled “Hospital in Aleppo is hit again by bombs.” Sunday’s New York Times totally ignored the Foreign Ministry spokesperson’s statements.
In our view, it would be a huge mistake to allow your national security advisers to follow the example of the Post and Times in minimizing the importance of Zakharova’s remarks.
Events over the past several weeks have led Russian officials to distrust Secretary of State John Kerry. Indeed, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who parses his words carefully, has publicly expressed that distrust. Some Russian officials suspect that Kerry has been playing a double game; others believe that, however much he may strive for progress through diplomacy, he cannot deliver on his commitments because the Pentagon undercuts him every time. We believe that this lack of trust is a challenge that must be overcome and that, at this point, only you can accomplish this.
It should not be attributed to paranoia on the Russians’ part that they suspect the Sept. 17 U.S. and Australian air attacks on Syrian army troops that killed 62 and wounded 100 was no “mistake,” but rather a deliberate attempt to scuttle the partial cease-fire Kerry and Lavrov had agreed on – with your approval and that of President Putin – that took effect just five days earlier.
In public remarks bordering on the insubordinate, senior Pentagon officials showed unusually open skepticism regarding key aspects of the Kerry-Lavrov deal. We can assume that what Lavrov has told his boss in private is close to his uncharacteristically blunt words on Russian NTV on Sept. 26:
“My good friend John Kerry … is under fierce criticism from the US military machine. Despite the fact that, as always, [they] made assurances that the US Commander in Chief, President Barack Obama, supported him in his contacts with Russia (he confirmed that during his meeting with President Vladimir Putin), apparently the military does not really listen to the Commander in Chief.”
Lavrov’s words are not mere rhetoric. He also criticized JCS Chairman Joseph Dunford for telling Congress that he opposed sharing intelligence with Russia, “after the agreements concluded on direct orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama stipulated that they would share intelligence. … It is difficult to work with such partners. …”
Policy differences between the White House and the Pentagon are rarely as openly expressed as they are now over policy on Syria. We suggest you get hold of a new book to be released this week titled The General vs. the President: MacArthur and Truman at the Brink of Nuclear War by master historian H. W. Brands. It includes testimony, earlier redacted, that sheds light on why President Truman dismissed WWII hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur from command of U.N. forces in Korea in April 1951. One early reviewer notes that “Brands’s narrative makes us wonder about challenges of military versus civilian leadership we still face today.” You may find this new book more relevant at this point in time than the Team of Rivals.
The door to further negotiations remains ajar. In recent days, officials of the Russian foreign and defense ministries, as well as President Putin’s spokesman, have carefully avoided shutting that door, and we find it a good sign that Secretary Kerry has been on the phone with Foreign Minister Lavrov. And the Russians have also emphasized Moscow’s continued willingness to honor previous agreements on Syria.
In the Kremlin’s view, Russia has far more skin in the game than the U.S. does. Thousands of Russian dissident terrorists have found their way to Syria, where they obtain weapons, funding, and practical experience in waging violent insurgency. There is understandable worry on Moscow’s part over the threat they will pose when they come back home. In addition, President Putin can be assumed to be under the same kind of pressure you face from the military to order it to try to clean out the mess in Syria “once and for all,” regardless how dim the prospects for a military solution are for either side in Syria.
We are aware that many in Congress and the “mainstream” media are now calling on you to up the ante and respond – overtly or covertly or both – with more violence in Syria. Shades of the “Washington Playbook,” about which you spoke derisively in interviews with the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg earlier this year. We take some encouragement in your acknowledgment to Goldberg that the “playbook” can be “a trap that can lead to bad decisions” – not to mention doing “stupid stuff.”
Goldberg wrote that you felt the Pentagon had “jammed” you on the troop surge for Afghanistan seven years ago and that the same thing almost happened three years ago on Syria, before President Putin persuaded Syria to surrender its chemical weapons for destruction. It seems that the kind of approach that worked then should be tried now, as well – particularly if you are starting to feel jammed once again.
Incidentally, it would be helpful toward that end if you had one of your staffers tell the “mainstream” media to tone down it puerile, nasty – and for the most part unjustified and certainly unhelpful – personal vilification of President Putin.
Renewing direct dialogue with President Putin might well offer the best chance to ensure an end, finally, to unwanted “jamming.” We believe John Kerry is correct in emphasizing how frightfully complicated the disarray in Syria is amid the various vying interests and factions. At the same time, he has already done much of the necessary spadework and has found Lavrov for the most part, a helpful partner.
Still, in view of lingering Russian – and not only Russian – skepticism regarding the strength of your support for your secretary of state, we believe that discussions at the highest level would be the best way to prevent hotheads on either side from risking the kind of armed confrontation that nobody should want.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you invite President Putin to meet with you in a mutually convenient place, in order to try to sort things out and prevent still worse for the people of Syria.
In the wake of the carnage of World War II, Winston Churchill made an observation that is equally applicable to our 21st Century: “To jaw, jaw, jaw, is better than to war, war, war.”
* In a Memorandum to President Bush criticizing Colin Powell’s address to the UN earlier on February 5, 2003, VIPS ended with these words: “After watching Secretary Powell today, we are convinced that you would be well served if you widened the discussion … beyond the circle of those advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling reason and from which we believe the unintended consequences are likely to be catastrophic.”

Gotta say something about these European border crossings…
Lines a mile deep and why? Here is why…
If you have a tablet, laptop, cellphone and or any other electronic equipment. They will make you turn it on, let them have access to it and they will make you prove it is a real item…
They make us empty our bags that we carryon. Completely empty and scattered all over the place. They check every thing you have. They made me empty my pockets and they put their hands in my pockets to see that I emptied them…
They had a huge crotch sniffing dog and it loved to stick its nose up your ass and as hard as it could into your privates….Glad he did not bite…
They ask you why you are traveling to their country and they ask it twenty times…
I had to take an ink pen apart and prove it was not a detonator button…
I was threatened over a nail clipper. You know a standard cut your finger nails clipper. That kind of deadly weapon… ~Sarc~
They checked my eye glasses and made sure that they did not have cameras in them? I do not know why?…
One Russian babushka in the next line, was taken to a private room, because she had a bottle of water. She was being spoken English at and had no idea what was going on. I could hear and understand all they said. They hauled her off for a bottle of water!
I said, “I understand you!” They then got nervous and started to whisper…
My stuff was then pushed to the floor in the gray crate and I was told to hurry. People are waiting…
People had to remove their belts, shoes and anything that they demanded you remove. One young woman was required to pull her top up and show her bra. The bra set off the machines…
You can’t touch me! LOL…
Now there was something interesting happening. Certain people dressed certain ways, walked right through. Nothing was said, nothing was asked of them and they did not even have to empty pockets and or any bag they carried….Easy to guess what and who they were and they were not white (Caucasian), Asian, African skin color and or most of who was trying to get across the border. They had on Hijab, Emirati clothing, thawb and or…well you get the picture, I hope…
One walked through talking on his $1000 plus dollar iPhone and no one said a word to him…
I looked at my phone clock and had 10 minutes to get to my plane. The jet was all the way two floors up and all the way across the complex. They had made me wait so long, that missing my flight was inevitable…
Except I don’t like when I am treated like crap!
I gathered my stuff and ran…
I ran as fast as I could and if this had been even last year, I would not have made it. But I have lost a lot of weight and am in damn good shape now. So I ran, six heart attacks or not in my past. I ran…
I did not care who saw me and did not care if they were going to stop me. I was pissed and got to passport control and he seemed to know I was coming. Stamped my passport and pointed C4 gate that way. I ran and was not out of breath, yet…
Another 300 meters though, finally got to me. I had run at least a kilometer in total, weaved around people, workers, down corridor after corridor and finally this young man met me. He said, “Hi! Kyle?”
Finally my airline was showing some care… UTair, a Russian airline was showing respect and waited for me. They cared, got me in my seat, got me water and made sure I was okay!
Svetochka was shocked that I had made the transfer flight! She was waiting at home with Boza in case I had to have a internet person to get flights changed or not…
Three minutes sitting and I felt good. I was not out of breath and my heart rate was back down. The Tiny Russian Village has really made my life better….and I really appreciate the village when I have to do stuff like this crossing a border, as a peasant of the lowest level…
Emirate clothing, that is what I need! A Bear in Emirati clothing…
I feel better now, but I still hate crossing borders in the Western World. Did all this make us safer? Do we need to be treated so badly? I dread any future border crossings…. (Border crossing in the east is a bunch better!) I hope I do not get tossed into a prison in the west….I can get an attitude….That is my right, I am suppose to be a free person on this earth and I will fight to be free….And why are some more free than others?
Freedom is missing in the Western World…
