I talked about the folly of the Trump organization having a large gathering where they didn’t push mask-wearing, and that this could potentially become a super-spreader event. I continue to encourage people to wear masks in public; more and more studies are showing they really do stop the spread, and that if 90+% of people […]

This week, I discussed the World Health Organization’s initial finding that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 is nearly unknown, and their subsequent backpedaling. Of course, if someone is asymptomatic, you don’t know if they’ll STAY that way, or if they’re PRE-symptomatic! So, sheesh, still wear your mask and follow health guidelines.  I reviewed natural sunscreen ingredients, and […]

This week, once again I cautioned people about running out too soon and continuing to take coronavirus seriously. I cautioned about wearing masks and wearing them correctly, respecting others’ comfort level, and using caution about gathering in large groups. We also discussed ways that screen time can be bad for you! Did you know that […]

This week, I felt I had to address the recent killing of George Floyd and the riots that are going on. Racism is a public health crisis and puts the lives of black and brown people in danger every day. The pain and anger is compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is also disproportionately affecting […]

This week I talked about how it’s important to keep your endothelium intact! That’s the lining of the inside of your blood vessels. If it’s leaky, the virus can get in, damage the pericytes that keep your blood vessels elastic, cause more leakage, and encourage clots! This is very bad for people who have chronic […]

This week, I first addressed the term “lockdown”. I strongly discourage the use of the word because it magnifies the panic, fear, and drama present during the pandemic. At  no point in the US has anyone been manditorily “locked down” in their homes on pain of legal repercussion. We have all been able to leave our […]

Today I talked about how people criticize folks who wear masks in their cars and encourage them to not be so judgy. I talked about my current position on the pandemic, which is basically to focus on everyday, practical information that can help my friends and loved ones, patients, and even me! I also talked about […]

I talked about some French studies on the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin together, which shows possible promise. I also went through the WHO’s COVID-19 mythbusting page, which contained such food for thought as Taking Disinfectants and Bleach Internally are poisonous and don’t cure coronavirus, and 5G EMF do not cause the coronavirus. (Really??) Most […]

This week, I focused on sleep and melatonin. I talked about why they’re helpful for fighting off the coronavirus, and how to get better sleep, including some supplements and herbs. I also talked about why daylight savings time is bad for you! Another good reason to live in Arizona. Also, remember to eat your leafy […]

Well, TODAY is 4/20/20, so we thought we’d talk about CHOCOLATE. No, I’m kidding, of course it’s Cannabis Day in the USA! So we talked about the benefits of CBD for pain and inflammation, and that it possibly calm the inflammation of the coronavirus. It also can help with anxiety during the pandemic. We also discussed […]
