Effective lung cleansing is a very powerful way to protect yourself from respiratory problems. In the light of the ongoing COVID crisis this becomes the more important. Every time I respond to clients with this suggestion, I’m amazed that doctors do not mention it to their patients. Disclaimer: The following information is to provide education and information only.

6/15 Venice Family Clinic, a nonprofit community health center that serves nearly 28,000 low income patients, said today that it is resuming in-person appointments for routine health care.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 421 new COVID-19 cases today at a press conference. Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the Department, attributed the large increase in known cases to a sudden surge in testing ability and the receipt of delayed test results. Of the 9,400 people tested for the virus so far in LA County, 4,000 of them were tested just yesterday. The county now has a total of 1,216 known cases of COVID-19. 9 deaths were reported today...
Los Angeles County Health on Monday confirmed the first diagnosis of Wuhan Coronavirus in the city of Santa Monica, which concerned an employee of a company at the Yahoo Center, 2500 Colorado Ave. It has not been released whether that person, who had recently travelled to Asia, worked for Yahoo Inc., or for some other company located in the complex. "There may be people infected everywhere in the county," said DPH Director Barbara Ferrer. "Just because you don't see a case in...
Those of us who follow the CoronaVirus statistics coming out of Mainland China, have always suspected the Chinese are lying about their 650 death toll, in less than 30,000 cases. After all, why bother to quarantine Wuhan, a Los Angeles sized city, unless it were absolutely necessary. And why build 2 hospitals in ten days, unless you think they're going to soon be filled with dying patients. In an article entitled "Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus...
SANTA MONICA (Sept. 26, 2019) – The UCLA Health Nurse-Midwife Program, based at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, is expanding its services to provide well-woman health care – including annual checkups, Pap smears, and new birth control options – for women 35 and younger. To accommodate new well-woman patients as well as an ever-increasing number of women who have already decided on midwife deliveries, the UCLA Health Nurse-Midwives clinic has moved to larger offices locat...
Yes.....that's right folks. No need to order new contact lenses or clean your eyeglasses. Local dentist and residents Lynn Watanabe and John Chien actually founded this amalgam (yes....pun intended) of words to form this niche association in 2002. So what is the International Dental Spa Association? For that matter, what exactly is a dental spa? Yes...that's right. Your first reaction was correct. Lynn Watanabe opened her dental practice, "Dental Spa" in Pacific Palisades in...
Stephen Michaud enjoys watching – whether it's his grandkids on the baseball field or his favorite remodeling shows on HGTV. But there is one thing the Marina del Rey retiree did not want to watch: the growth of his prostate cancer tumor. After being diagnosed with the disease earlier this year, Michaud chose not to engage in "watchful waiting" – or active surveillance – one of the traditional medical options offered to men with slow-growing prostate cancer. Nor did he want...

(tca/dpa) - Weighing in at just 8.6 ounces, Saybie is believed to be the smallest baby ever to survive a premature birth. Sharp HealthCare announced that the infant girl was delivered by Caesarean section in December at just 23 weeks gestation after her mother suffered from pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening condition that causes very high blood pressure. Though the infant was not identified by her real name due to her parents' desire for privacy - Saybie is the name given her...
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. -- Psalm 139:16 (dpa) – It's a brave new world when computers can predict our death, but such a world might not be out of the realm of reality, according to European researchers. A study presented at an international cardiology conference in Lisbon this month found that artificial intelligence can already do a better job than humans of calculating a person's risk of death. And not just a s...
Ask Rusty – Can I get Medicare without claiming Social Security? Dear Rusty: I am 63 and my full retirement age is 66 and 2 months. I want to try and hold out to 70 before I start collecting SS. My 2018 Social Security statement said I'm eligible to apply for Medicare at 65. Do I have to be receiving Social Security payments before I can be covered for Medicare? Or can I be covered beginning at 65 and not receive a Social Security check until I desire at 70? Signed: A...
We all have those experiences in life which feel as though they are so critical, crucial and fundamental, that they almost create the basis of who we are. But the question is, who are you without them? You might have heard the universe is pretty busy right now. You've got the second of three eclipses to hit on July 27th, with a full moon eclipse in the sign of Aquarius, many planets in retrograde – and of course, everyone's favourite time of year starts July 26th: Mercury R...
Anthony Bourdain's suicide on June 8th followed his diagnosis with Parkinson's Disorder 3 or 4 months ago, according to multiple sources. "3-4 months ago I posted that I thought Anthony Bourdain was showing signs of a neurological illness (Parkinson's) and may be why he committed suicide. So sad. Bourdain was a brilliant tv story teller," said one close associate on social media. It didn't help that Bourdain had recently been dumped by actress Asia Aregento. The Italian...
Are we all awake yet? Are we all taking notice? Kate Spade earlier this week, now Anthony Bourdain. Two people- with enviable careers and opportunity. Highly creative and deep feelers, unable to continue on because of fears only fully known to them. The fashion industry is no stranger to this news, but now we are seeing this trend spread, like a virus to any and all industries. Designers, musicians and creatives are highly sensitive, often very emotional and intuitive, they...
Two weeks ago, I found myself at Bulletproof Labs in Santa Monica to be a guest at a launch party for HydroTab. HydroTab is a tablet that is added to plain water to 'free' the hydrogen molecule from its H20 shackles and, once consumed, helps the body detox at the molecular level inside the cell. To understand this, we've got to talk a little bit of chemistry and microbiology. While oxygen is a vital part of life (yay breathing), it is also a catabolic nutrient (think rust on...
Analysis examines role of emergent class of intermediary that galvanizes efforts of organizations and movements to create a new normal BOSTON, October 26, 2017-In much the same way that Adam Smith's "invisible hand" works in the private sector, there are unseen agents that are helping to accelerate social change, according to new research by The Bridgespan Group. "How Field Catalysts Galvanize Social Change," published in Stanford Social Innovation Review (Winter 2018 issue),...
At the same time that Homelessness has caused an epidemic in Hepatitis A and B among the County's homeless problem, the City of Santa Monica is about to spend $140 million to construct a City Hall Annex, with self-composting toilets. Exposure to human waste causes hepatitis outbreaks in the Third World, and among homeless populations in Southern California. In San Diego County, 19 homeless men have died so far this year of the disease. Will these experimental high technology...
One hundred healthcare workers and allies protested Thursday, Oct. 12 at Providence St. John's Health Center, 2121 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica, over understaffing at the hospital and a plan that would prohibit workers from publicly airing concerns about patient care. "Our goal is to provide the best patient care but that's hard to do when we're short staffed and unable to respond to patients' calls for help," said Linda Phongsvej, a Respiratory Therapist at St. John's...
Some people aren't too surprised to hear about the news that men in power have used that power to take advantage of women for their own benefit. Those least surprised are women. But when did it become the status quo for women to be placed under men, to earn less than men, to be controlled by men, reduced by men and abused by man's perceived power? For that answer we need to look way back into mankind's past. To the inception of the patriarchal, monotheistic religions. In days...
Over the past few years there has been a lot of chatter about how drinking red wine can be a great boost to your overall health. There is indeed evidence to suggest that red wine, in moderation can deliver levels of resveratrol which does have antioxidant and even anticancer qualities to it. So who wouldn't want that glass of red wine with its resveratrol? Actually there are two very good reasons for skipping the red wine. One is obviously that red wine also contains alcohol w...
