COVID-19 Insights Q&A - April 14 Replay

The COVID-19 Insights + Q&A call went great (the replay is below).  Apologies for those of you whom I didn't let in from the waiting room.  Another learning point for me, but I believe I learned how to fix that going forward :)  Thank you all for your patience.

Below are some additional resources and information on COVID-19. As always, my goal is to get you as much up-to-date and accurate information as possible to you can make educated healthcare decisions.

• Ozone: Check this 1 page paper that gently summarizes ozone for COVID19: https://www.drsozone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ozone-and-Viral-Infections-in-One-Page.pdf 
• Please sign this petition to encourage the use of ozone in U.S. hospitals.  It's simple, safe (so safe, it's not even funny), and effective (amazingly so).  http://chng.it/qSMyTPcxHX The site also has some good links showing just a small sampling of encouraging results in case anyone wants to browse a little further before signing the petition.
• Dr. Robert Rowen is an amazing doctor and human being.  In this video, he states, "[Corona Virus] doesn't have the capability of fixing oxidative damage... it should be easily treated with ozone."(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-jDbCuD8Zk&t=248s&fbclid=IwAR0wPEQAmO37-rgPvtpYkWgXZdK6ahVzTZ-WpfK3L4UYzxbpXa-u0BzPrfw) 
• Dr. Vladimir Zelenko gave an interesting interview regarding Hydrochloroquin + Azithromycin + Zinc.  Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=348&v=Z7SDemHGl8U&feature=emb_logo&fbclid=IwAR1qtGJZISoKJkyES3oYmjeYz2HOjwnkdDEtcO5LLBbtBcF1WEEkscRsTX4 
• Here's a great article regarding nebulized H2O2 article by Dr. Levi: http://www.drwlc.com/blog/2020/03/21/hydrogen-peroxide-nebulizer-to-treat-covid-19-infection/
• "Stop looking at the numbers… imagine if they did that for the flu."  Watch Levin: The Media is Using COVID Numbers to Mislead You. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzFb1nq4X08&feature=youtu..be  The goal was to ‘flatten the curve,’ but now it's morphed into Protect Everybody. We will NEVER keep everyone safe.  Be sane, not perfectly safe.

Estimates are that around 25-75% of the population is likely gonna become infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that can cause COVID-19 in some people). So unless you're planning on staying inside for what appears to be at least a few years, the time is now to embrace your health and your life like never before.  As such, I'm emphasizing my overall message that this is a time to get your body and mind healthy so that COVID-19 can be something to let happen with little worry.  We have amazing methods to minimize any potential severe effects of COVID-19.

Let fear drive you towards health and a more fulfilled life.  Let love drive you.  Let love for yourself drive you.  Let love for another drive you.  Find something to drive you.

• Stop watching too much news. Practice gratitude. Click here to download our no-strings-attached gratitude journal.

Connect with your religious and/or spiritual guides if that feels right to you. 
• For a truly transformative experience, read this Facebook post and sign up: https://www.facebook.com/100000199593523/posts/3421001261249827/ (I can guarantee you will come out happier and more inspired than before, if you partake.)
• Listen to the FANTASTIC podcast "How To Find Inner Peace During The Pandemic" - Srikumar Rao from The Mindvalley Podcast with Vishen Lakhiani on Apple Podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mindvalley-podcast-with-vishen-lakhiani/id1317823455?i=1000470626063.  Srikumar is a brilliant business school professor who can guide you to inner peace, especially in these tumultuous times.

There is a lot of material here.  Please consider all of them, or just the ones that speak to you.  Embrace life.  So many opportunities are present for you.  Love yourself.  Love and aid others :)

Have a great week, and please feel free to pass this along!

Functional Medicine Yields Better Results + Conscious Gift Giving

I received this email from Dr. Tom O'Bryan about Functional Medicine vs. Standard Care and want to share it with you. I think he's a fabulous doctor and couldn't have said it better myself :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Friends, One and All,

May I share a personal moment of joy with you?

This week the Journal of the American Medical Association (one of the very top medical journals in the world that Health Care Practitioners count on for authoritative guidance) published the first comprehensive 5-year study on the effectiveness of Functional Medicine.

When comparing 1,595 patients seen at the Functional Medicine Center at the Cleveland Clinic with the results of 5,657 patients with a similar range of chronic health problems, seen in the Family Health Center at the Cleveland Clinic, what was the result?

In the summary words of the Journal, '(comparing) Patients in the Functional Medicine Center with data at both 6 and 12 months demonstrated improvements in quality of life scores (overall symptom relief) that were significantly larger compared with patients seen at the Family Health Center.'

Finally!!! There is no arguing with these results.

Taking a functional medicine approach to chronic conditions has significantly better results than one of the best traditional family health centers in the country.

Wondering which chronic condition? The answer is every chronic condition!

As my Mentor, the Founder of Functional Medicine, Dr. Jeffrey Bland says, "This supports the concept of Functional Medicine as a system of care, and not a specific therapy."

I've included the article for you here.

It's very geeky. But every good doctor in the country needs to read this. Please, please, please, download this article, print it out, and drop it off at your doctor's office, your dentist, your pediatrician, any and every health practitioner you visit.

It will rock their world as it validates this 'system of care', proving that this way of thinking is absolutely valuable to include in their overall approach to wellness.

To Better Health For All,

Tom O'Bryan, DC, CCN, DACBN
Founder of theDr.com

P.S. Yes! Research is finally validating what I've witnessed in my practice for decades.

The findings of a recent study from the Cleveland Clinic suggest that "Functional Medicine may have the ability to improve global health in patients." That means staying healthier and younger, longer... click above to get the article.

Happy 2019! New provider + stem cell consult

Happy New Year's! We hope your Holiday Season has been a happy and healthy one, and as we look forward to 2019, we are truly grateful for the continued opportunity to partner with our patients in providing optimal healthcare.

OUR NEW PROVIDER

Kellie Kell, a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, has joined our Oasis Family Medicine Team as our third main care provider, who does what Dr. Kuo and I do. Since it can be difficult to get in to see Dr. Kuo, and since I am currently not taking on new clients, Kellie's addition to the team means our services will be more accessible for those who have not been able to come to Oasis Family Medicine as often over the past few years.

As with myself and Dr. Kuo, Kellie also practices and is continuing her education in Functional medicine, which integrates Western conventional medicine and natural alternative/holistic medicine to provide you with the best treatment options available. I invite you to have a visit to connect with Kellie - you'll find that she will provide the same personalized and trusted healthcare that you have come to know from Oasis Family Medicine. Find out more about Kellie and the rest of our team on our website here.

STEM CELL CONSULT

Be sure to contact the office to set up your stem cell therapy consult, as prices have been hacked for the new year ranging from HUNDRED$ to even THOUSAND$ cheaper than before. For a small fee (only $50!), you can get your questions answered and find out if stem cell therapy is right for you. (If it turns out that stem cell therapy isn't for you after all, then the $50 fee can be applied toward any in-office purchase/cost.)  We're seeing some great results from patients who have chosen to do it with us, so contact the office to schedule a time to see how it will benefit you (and how much you will save)!
