CALL TO ACTION - SO CAL RESIDENTS
This Sunday，March 8th，LA will host a Marathon event, with estimated 27000 participants. This type of large gathering may post a huge risk to the community by spreading coronavirus, and our county will be impacted. Northern California has already banned large events. If you are as concerned as I and want to take action please call LA mayor Eric Garcetti, and demand that the event be cancelled. Tel: 213 978 1028

Important message from Chief Medical Officer and Assistant Clinical Professor in University of California, Irvine:

"...There are FOUR different bugs going around now plus the threat of Covid. Let's look at each...

1. A bacterial infection is currently on the rise-sore throat, productive cough, fever, maybe sinus symptoms. If you are fit and healthy, it may wear itself out in 3-5 days. If you are very young or very old, frail, or sickly, it may lead to pneumonia or sepsis. An antibiotic is effective, and we may be able to swab for it, or do a blood test or xray to make an accurate diagnosis.

2. A viral syndrome with low grade fever, sneezing, cough, can be difficult to differentiate from a bacterial one at first. Even an experienced provider may need testing to tell the difference. It is usually less serious and runs its course over 2-3 days. Antibiotics do not work for a typical virus. We are seeing a fair number of these cases now, on par with this time of year.

3. NEITHER of these are the "flu". Influenza is a totally separate animal. High fevers, aches, abdominal distress, dry cough, and feeling like you've been run over by a truck are common symptoms. It can be diagnosed via a swab in the office. There are special influenza antibiotics (eg Tamiflu) that help reduce the symptoms and duration. The "Flu" seems to have peaked and even gone in Orange County for 2020. In my personal practice we haven't had a positive case since Feb 15th. The Health Department confirms we should see very few new flu cases in March.

4. Covid-19 begins as a typical viral illness- sneezing, coughing, low grade fever. But there are serious differences.

Fortunately, we have not had a lot of cases in Southern California--at least not officially diagnosed. But the virus can be spread for two weeks before symptoms appear. In that time, hundreds of people have been put at risk. It is spread by droplets, so simply being near an infected person can spread it if they cough or sneeze. And the 88,000 cases (as of this writing) is misleading since those are CONFIRMED cases. At least 10 times that number have occurred but just not tested for.

There is hope that as a cold weather bug, it will fade away with warmer weather. Yet it is still growing at over 1,000 cases a day being reported world wide; the same number as late January when it first appeared. If more kits were available, you can estimate how many new cases are actually occurring.

To hear an official say "we have this under control" is irresponsible. To hear people on social media say "There were more flu deaths, life goes on" is just idiotic. For one thing, the flu deaths were over an entire season. This pandemic has just begun.For another, would these same people take a vacation to beautiful downtown Baghdad? Stroll thru the streets of Sinaloa Mexico? Of course not because we know that is dangerous. Covid 19 should also be considered dangerous.

What is the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic? An epidemic refers to a condition spreading rapidly. A pandemic is an epidemic spreading throughout the world. We are now in a pandemic. The flu was not a pandemic.

As CMO, I am advising the following measures for our patients at least thru March:

1.If you are sick, don't travel. In fact don't leave the house if possible. Of course this is always common sense. But now you run the risk of being quarantined if it is considered possible you harbor Covid 19. Many countries are screening passengers for even low grade fever. Flight attendants are instructed to report anyone they feel is showing signs of infection. If you have a fever you will be detained. and not just sent home, but put in isolation.

2. If you are not sick, but very young, very old, frail, or sickly avoid ALL non-essential travel, or areas where crowds circulate. That means malls, theme parks, churches, even ball games. Going to a school or office may only expose you to dozens of close contacts. But a crowded day at Disney will expose you to THOUSANDS of people who may be incubating Covid.

If you are fit and relatively healthy, use common sense. Avoiding crowds and non essential travel may seem like overkill but it isn't just about protecting you- its keeping an unknowing carrier from spreading the virus to thousands of uninfected people. We do not advise staying home from work or school, but if you can cancel that trip to Europe or postpone the day to Universal Studios, it will go a long way to stopping the spread and protecting yourself and your family.

3. If you do travel in March, realize there is a high chance of disrupted travel. You may be not allowed to leave your area or be house confined. Bring your own thermometer, your own cold meds, and an extra supply of your prescription meds in case you are stuck somewhere for weeks. Have documentation of your health insurance with you. Realize you may find tourist venues closed, events canceled, and long lines at areas where screening is going on.

4. Common sense dictates frequent hand washing. Remember the rule is to wash singing "Happy Birthday" to allow enough time to wash. If you are using hand sanitizers like Purell, five seconds is sufficient. Avoid touching other people if possible, maybe a thumbs up instead of shaking hands. Prepare your own meals as much as possible. If you must cough or sneeze in public, cover the face or turn away. Normal face masks are insufficient to block Covid--you'll need to look for N 95 masks. But if you are coughing enough to need the mask --STAY HOME! If you are wearing the mask to protect yourself its probably not necessary if you are fit and healthy.

5. If you feel you may have one of those three conditions at the beginning of this blog, DO NOT ignore it. Use house Calls or video visits to talk to your provider. If you feel you must come to the office, alert us so we can swab you or draw your blood in the comfort of your car. If you need to be seen in an exam room, you will be escorted thru the lobby if you alert us in advance. ALL respiratory type infections should be seen and worked up during this crucial time. Covid testing is done at the health dept.

IF World wide screening is effective

IF everyone follows these FIVE simple rules

IF Covid is a cold weather bug only

The pandemic will be history. Otherwise we may witness a pandemic unseen in our lifetimes.

FIGHT VIRUSES NATURALLY

I would like to share some tips that can help you you stay happy and healthy during this flu season. Whereas these suggestions will not guarantee protection from getting sick, they will help improve your health and strengthen your immune system.

– wash or sanitize your hands often and don’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose with unwashed hands
– breathe only through your nose
– do your best to reduce stress and stay positive 😊
– get PLENTY OF SLEEP on a regular basis
– gargle your throat a few times a day (you can add tea tree oil or echinacea)
– exercise moderately on a daily basis (heavy workouts lower your immunity) and make sure you break a sweat
– take hot showers daily (raising body temp kills viruses) with a contrast shower in the end (contrast shower boosts immune system)
– you can try coating the inside of your nose with coconut oil to prevent virus from landing on the mucous membrane

NUTRITION:
– stay hydrated
– try intermittent fasting (it resets the immune system)
– avoid sugars and processed foods
– lots of fresh foods, including ginger, onions, lemons
– lots of garlic (it’s effective raw and cooked, but not over 140F)
– honey, especially Manuka
– bee pollen (begin with very small amounts, to avoid an allergic reaction)
– Natural immunomodulators like Lauricidin, Rhodiola Rosea and Ginseng
– vitamins, especially C and D
– probiotics
– teas: green, ginger, echinacea, herbal immune support and detoxing combinations

Stay healthy! Protect yourself and those around you ❤

Attention please!

There are two confirmed cases of deadly Coronavirus, brought to Irvine from China. There are no known cures for that virus, and it's entirely up to the patient's immune system to fight it off.
Infected individuals do not feel any symptoms for about two weeks, which makes it more difficult to contain the outbreak.
Wearing a mask does not protect from inhaling a virus.
In China entire cities are on lockdown in an effort to isolate the virus.

Measures to take: stay away from public places as much as possible. If you feel sick, avoid close contact with others.

Strengthen your immune system:
- obviously, wash your hands often and don't touch your eyes, mouth or nose with unwashed hands
- GET PLENTY OF SLEEP DAILY
- practice intermittent fasting
- reduce stress, stay positive :)
- gargle your throat a few times a day (you can add tea tree oil or echinacea)
- exercise moderately on a daily basis (heavy workouts lower your immunity) and make sure you break a sweat
- breathe only through your nose
- take hot showers daily (raising body temp kills viruses) and do a contrast shower in the end (contrast shower boosts immune system)
- you can try coating the inside of your nose with an ointment to prevent virus from landing on the mucous membrane
Nutrition:
- stay hydrated
- lots of fresh foods, including ginger, onions, lemons
- lots of garlic (it's effective raw and cooked, but not over 140F)
- honey
- probiotics
- vitamins, especially C and D
- teas: green, ginger, echinacea, herbal immune support and detoxing combinations

The danger of “silent” heart attacks - Harvard Health

SILENT HEART ATTACK is real!
This is a very important post that comes from a personal experience. I know most of you have heard about silent heart attacks, but when you see it in person, it's shockingly stealthy!!

A senior client of mine recently called me to cancel her session, saying that her old asthma was acting up. She felt weak and short of breath, but was in good spirits. I insisted on taking her to ER, where she got diagnosed with a heart attack, that must have happened about two weeks ago! What's mind-boggling is that in these weeks she had no symptoms, except for mild fatigue one day.

Please read the information below and be aware of risks. Stay healthy!

Here's one idea for a great and easy New Year's resolution that will pay off big: Ger More Sleep!

Not only your mood and mental health will improve - your palate will change and you will notice a reduction in unhealthy cravings! Read on for more info...

A lack of sleep causes people to favor high-calorie, sweet and salty foods over healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Get a good night's sleep to help you eat less sugar.

Good sleep habits are incredibly important for your health. Poor sleep has been linked to depression, poor concentration and reduced immune function (45Trusted Source, 46Trusted Source, 47Trusted Source).

The link between lack of sleep and obesity is well known. But recently, researchers discovered that lack of sleep also affects the types of food you eat (48Trusted Source, 49Trusted Source).

One study looked into this phenomenon in 23 healthy adults. Their brains were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), first after a full night's sleep and then following a sleepless night.

The researchers found that function of the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls decision making, was impaired after a sleepless night.

Furthermore, the area of the brain that responds to rewards and controls motivation and desire was stimulated.

These changes meant that participants favored high-calorie, sweet and salty foods when they were sleep deprived (50Trusted Source).

Another study found that people who went to bed late and did not get a full night's sleep consumed more calories, junk food and soda and fewer fruits and vegetables, compared to those who went to bed earlier and got a full night's sleep (51Trusted Source).

So going to bed early and sleeping well may help you reduce your sugar intake.

Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning

The swimming season is upon us and with it come dangers and responsibilities. Keep in mind that often a drowning person looks as if they are simply treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure they are ok? Ask them. If they can answer, they probably are. IF THEY RETURN A BLANK STARE, YOU MAY HAVE LESS THAN 30 sec TO SAVE THEM. But that's not all! At times, the resquer ends up drowning. To prevent a tragedy, try to attract other people's attention and find a boyant object for the drowning person to grab onto, so they don't inadvertently push you under...
