Would you pass this test??

As you may (or may not) know, brain health is one of my passions. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body and plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function. When the brain is "broken," out of balance, or not working properly, it can affect our overall health in many ways and in varying degrees.

Here at Oasis Family Medicine, we offer Brain Mapping tests as part of our treatment services. The qualitative EEG, or Brain Mapping test can assist us in assessing brain function, check overall brain health, and correctly diagnose brain-related health issues. While MRIs and CAT Scans do show structural changes in the brain, they do not show how well the brain is functioning. That's where Brain Mapping comes in. There are several different types of brain waves (Beta, Alpha, Theta an Delta), each with their own purpose, and Brain Mapping helps measure these brain waves and shows how each area of the brain is functioning at appropriate times. Many of the health conditions related to poor brain function are:

• ADHD & Learning Issues
• Addiction & Abuse
• Anxiety & Stress
• Brain Injury & Concussion
• Chronic Pain & Fatigue
• Depression
• Epilepsy & Seizures
• Insomnia & Sleep Issues
• Memory Loss
• Migraines
• Stroke
• And More

If you (or someone you know) thinks that improper brain function may be a health issue, I highly recommend the brain mapping test. It provides valuable data to enable us to formulate the correct treatment plan for whatever health issues you are facing.

You can find out more about brain mapping on our website here, or feel free to contact the office at 818-957-6909. And be sure to watch the video below :)

Enjoy the video, and as always, please feel free to pass this along!

Taking Advantage of ADHD

I recently came a across a great article from the New York Times about how the pharmaceutical industry relates to ADHD.  It’s interesting to note how financial interests and good science intersect – in a blurry line.  Quite a blurry line.  I’d say 20/400 blurry (i.e. severe visual impairment).  The article is well written, so rather than spend hours writing my own article on the subject, check this one out.  Please note how many experts, who we ought to be able to trust, receive drug company money for giving lectures that promote these medications.

Some people DO absolutely benefit from these drugs and I prescribe these to a few people (emphasis on few) as it absolutely benefits their life positively.  So please understand that I am not against these drugs being made and given to people.  I AM AGAINST as many people using them as do currently and I think it’s indisputable that the pharmaceutical industry is taking advantage of people.  Of course, I also think it’s we the people’s (including doctors) fault for allowing that to happen.

Solution: Consider yourself in a broad context, and address lifestyle first!
