WeLiveSecurity Right now, the end of August 2026 is near. Last time, I ranted about how incredibly annoying these fake doctors are . Now, I decided to write an "update" for the sake of it. Right now, I'd like to give my personal opinion based on my observations  about these fake doctors. It's important to observe that these fake doctors are based on an outrage algorithm, pushing against the mainstream, claiming that they have some "secret knowledge", and that there's this "secret supplement" you can have you comment on their video. Now, it's time to look at the common trend and why I think these fake doctors may be produced by a few people rather  than many.  What things are in common with these fake doctors? Take note that this isn't a complete checklist, but a checklist of some red flags to look out. But based on my observation as someone involved in business, here's my observation: Many of them present a kindly image of an old wo...

WeLiveSecurity It's crazy how I scroll Instagram to see my friends, then I see Dr. Deepfakes. I remember some images were of an old man, an old woman, and some of them used real doctors to promote quack advice. It also promotes "natural health treatments" that are "too good to be true". I was victimized by a scam in 2012 . Until now, I have  never recovered the money. I couldn't risk taking these blatant scams that says with statements like: "This is what your doctor is never going to tell you." "Only I know this miracle cure." "The big pharma industry doesn't want this or they'd all be shut down ." "The big pharma and hospitals are only after your money, not your health. It's all after money, unlike me." The basic accounting will tell you why hospitals actually need that huge sum of money  Let's refresh back to basic accounting . There's a big difference between the revenues (the money the hospital...

Back in high school and after college, I had a sedentary lifestyle. I would play countless hours of video games and watch TV almost non-stop. Exercise tends to sound so complicated. Fortunately, it doesn't have to sound very complicated since exercise shouldn't always sound like being athletic. The moment I got a Xiaomi MiBand--I soon installed Google Fit aside from the official Xiaomi app (which gets really buggy) and the Notify for MiBand app. I started off rather fat in 2013 and I'm happy to say I've lost a lot of weight. A fitness band would be used to count steps. At first, I aimed for 6,000 steps a day but I wanted to beat that record. 6,000 steps was my bare minimum . There were times when an exercise would barely give me the steps I wanted. I could do some cardio boxing, feel very tired, and still not get the steps I wanted. Fortunately, fitness devices can be used in workout mode. With my MiBand, one of the things I did was to set it up to workout mode. I could...

This is the problem when one's stingy with health. Health is also wealth. If the only thing one thinks about is money then they're missing the point. If one only thinks about financial wealth then one hasn't truly seen another depth of wealth which is health. I've seen some people who have had their stupidity with generational stinginess (read here) . If I'm not wrong, the boomers (1946-1964) tend to suffer from a lack of flexibility to change. Some people have even dismissed insurance calling it useless . However, what they don't see is that insurance could've covered problems like temporary relief for their loved ones or reduced the costs of hospitalization bills in the long run.  It's one thing when people have contingency savings. It's good to set money aside for emergencies. Buying insurance and paying it monthly or annually is part of the plan. However, some people just hold on too much to their money. Some older generation people refused to ev...

Last time, I remembered writing about China's Xiaomi phone . So far, I've managed to try out the Mibox and got myself a Mi Band 5. In my quest for weight loss, having a MiBand truly helped even if I started out with a Mi Band 3. This is what I'd like to talk about having a Mi Band. A Mi Band will measure one's heart rate and steps. Not only that, it will record one's activities through the workout mode. You'll need to install Mi Fit though I also suggest installing Notify for Mi Band. Along the way, get the Google Fit application and connect it to Notify for Mi Band. How did I decide to get slim? There are some exercise programs on YouTube. If you've got an android box then you can watch Youtube on television. Alternatively, one can broadcast from Youtube to the television through the android box. I tried doing workouts the old-fashioned way. Before that, I used Samsung Health. I didn't get a clear picture of how much I was losing weight. However, using ...

I was looking at the Facebook feeds and I found an interesting feed. It's from the Inquirer's Facebook page and I'm finding some interesting comments here . I'm really thinking about the economic ignorance of some of the comments. I won't be naming them out specifically. If I did, I'd probably have too much to mention. The level of ignorance can go with subsidies, wage increases, and better healthcare systems, but for some, when I mention  open economies-- it seems that somet of them are more than willing to say, "But foreign investors will invade us!" type of talk. I'm getting fed up with such kind of talk. I would like to explain how economic charter change is badly needed if we expect more Filipino workers to stay in the country. One article I wrote some time ago was the myth of invading other countries through labor export and foreign investment . The proof that it's a myth is that the Philippines has been sending nurses abroad. If my estim...
