It was in the shelter. They had a lawyer in house but only certain women got to see him. Around that time a week a psych nurse from the mental hospital that has some kind of contract with the shelter moved in and she went around telling people what to say at a hearing for mental issues. Some of the women getting SSDI were sent there from other states, and I was a lot worse off than them. There was a lot of tittering. Looking back I think it was a fraud ring. Same lawyer, same judge, the shelter manager was weirdly favoring only these group of women. They went in and out of the hospital, which was written about in Salon magazine for its terrible practices, including getting shelters to “send them people” if their beds got low.

They did whatever they wanted. Stole, assaulted, nothing could get them kicked out. They all got good housing and fast and boasted about all the money they had. I lived there 12 years and was there bc of domestic violence and my abuser had to move me out finally.

That is awful. I’m sorry. My best friend got a call 2 months after her terminally ill daughter died telling her daughter was approved. She had had throat cancer 8 years at that point and had applied a year before she died.

Dr. Gibbs, do you recommend a plant based diet to reduce both BP and cholesterol? It really helped me, and I’m currently slowly moving forward to going plant based again. In 2014 my BP dropped from 150-95 to 112-60. My lipid panel was like that of me as a healthy 20 year old. I wish I had stayed with it.

the place was, I survived it. Not sure why I’m being down voted for simply relating what happened…which was why I didn’t want to talk about it…

Take it from someone who’s been there. You don’t want to admit it, but group therapy means everything said there will get out. I’ve caught people recording therapy and had the information released to the community. People need to understand there are huge risks to group therapy. Huge.
