Travis S. Owen - Disease and Illnesses

This is a active list of what Travis had over the years. First started with Diabetes Mellitus Type ll. Then everything progressed from there. 8 years after discharge he had a minor stroke, and during our time together he had two heart attacks. On his VA Medical files, it shows him having ischemic heart disease, but it’s also Congestive Heart Failure, which is one on the list of diseases for Agent Orange, Diabetes is another one. Travis had 3 illnesses that are on the list. But even though he had 3 of them, all the others are secondary to the main illnesses and diseases. So in other words, the heart disease contributed to the liver failure, etc. When you have one organ that is bad, it basically causes a chain reaction to the other organs, since they all work together in supplying blood.

The Mad VA Cocktail

There is one thing the VA likes to do is to make sure our Nations Veterans are drugged up with as many medications as possible. Only masking the problem and not fixing it or finding a cure. Many Veterans end up even more sick from the side effects from these drugs. Some veterans overdose, some commit suicide because they are either too over medicated or the side effects of these drugs. I have noticed over the years that the VA has no problem writing prescriptions instead of working on the source of the problem. I call these doctors “Pill Pushers”. Travis’ last VA doctor worked hard to wean him off all these drugs, and Travis also fought to stop taking so many everyday. He was down to only 3 drugs before he died. Below is the list of drugs Travis has taken since he started going to the Bakersfield VA Clinic and then from the Phoenix VA. CHOLECALCIFEROL (VIT D3) 1,000UNIT TAB FUROSEMIDE 40MG TAB SPIRONOLACTONE 25MG TAB MIDODRINE HCL 5MG TAB ASPIRIN 81MG EC TAB INSULIN,GL...
