Thanks for the Help!

There when I needed you.

Scott,

 

Thank you for all your help and advice. Your positive attitude help me through a tough time when my business was getting started and now that advice has paid off with an ever growing book of business for my agency despite the rocky start. Your counsel inspired me to look to the future and not to dwell on the earlier mistake but rather to learn from them and move toward a worthwhile goal. I would not sign another contract or agreement without checking with you first.

 

I would highly recommend Barratt Legal Services if you find yourself in need of advice and/or counsel. Scott is a friend, a business colleague, as well as a client.  He provides personal service to each of his clients by meeting them in the privacy and convenience of their own home. If you have concerns I would suggest you trust Scott to be your problem solver.

You have a choice

Avandia or Actos

Diabetic? Which is best for you; Avandia or Actos?

 

The diabetes drug Actos may be a better choice than Avandia, reports Anne Peters, MD. A recent British study found no significant increase in cardiovascular death among patients who took rosiglitazone (Avandia). However: The drug still is associated with increased risk for heart failure and heart attack, and bone fracture. It also increases LDL (bad) cholesterol. Pioglitazon (Actos), a close cousin, has been shown to improve blood cholesterol and has fewer heart-safety concerns. Caution: Neither drug should be taken by people with heart failure.
