• Signs and Symptoms of Stroke: F.A.S.T. (Facial Drooping, Arm Numbness/weakness, Slurred Speech, Time to call 9-1-1)

• If you feel as though you are having a heart attack, ask for the “differential diagnosis”, a D-dimer test, have your Troponin level measured, and bring an advocate with you if possible.

• Suggested books: "The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture" by Daniel Mate’ and Gabor Mate’

• ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences)

• The “Weighing of the Heart” scene, Ancient Kemet (Egypt) depicted in the  Book of Coming Forth By Day, found on papyrus scrolls.
