Greenhouse Earth

Ideal “Greenhouse Earth” Businesses
Receiving extra direct deposits into your bank account is
wonderful. You can “wake up with a smile,” as Sir Richard Branson, creator
of the Virgin brand, says he does. Sir Richard has created, among his many
accomplishments, the suborbital passenger spaceship Virgin Galactica and
the Virgin Earth Challenge, which offers a $25 million prize to the creative
genius who helps our “Earth greenhouse” by designing a device to remove
carbon from the atmosphere. Perhaps that person will invent a “scrubber”
device that properly scavenges and scrubs the waste anesthetic gases from
anesthesia machines around the world currently vented outside every
operating room to the roof of … Continue Reading

Think your Stressed?

Stressed Molecular Membranes
The uptake and distribution mechanism of anesthetics is
known (Eger, 1998). The previously accepted theory ascribed to the action of
anesthetics, namely “molecular membrane stress” applied to the bi-lipid layer
of cell membranes (Ueda, 2001), could conceivably be applied to explain some
of the actions of essential oils at the cellular membrane level. A predominantly
accepted theory for the contiguous mechanisms of consciousness and
anesthesia results from the weak quantum interactions of van der Waals and
London forces acting in hydrophobic pockets of proteins that link synaptically
integrated dendrites of brains cells. Many essential oils and many anesthetic
molecules are aliphatic hydrocarbon chains (Hameroff, 2006). Some essential
oils … Continue Reading

Worldwide Wellness: Doctor Geiger’s Perspective

Top Ten Trends in Health Care

1. H ealth freedom laws

These are discussed in great detail in my book The Sweet Smell of Success.

That is why I … Continue Reading

Anesthesiologist Monitors with Vigilance and uses Vigilance WordPress theme

Monitor with Vigilance
The motto of anesthesia practice is vigilance. Anesthesiologists
and critical care doctors use the “rule of trends” in acute care medicine settings
to assess and measure response to treatment. Illness can be measured suddenly
in seconds or over decades, as in persistently poor diet leading to malnutrition
and obesity. The trend is not your friend when it comes to obesity in the
United States. In the last thirty years, in every state, the percentage of the
population defined as overweight to morbidly obese has increased. That time
span correlates directly with the massive rise and commercialization of … Continue Reading

Awareness (not that kind of Awareness) and Anesthesia

March 20, 2009

Awareness and Anesthesia
To arrive at the ideal anesthetic, we need to understand more
about how anesthesia works and how people consent to have anesthesia.
Some types of surgical procedures can and should be accomplished using a
technique called conscious sedation, with monitored anesthesia care. Some
awareness is intended and expected during conscious sedation, so patients
need to be educated and consent to undergo that type of surgery and
anesthesia if indicated. In my experience, many people do not understand
the difference between conscious sedation and general anesthesia when it is
explained before surgery, nor do they remember the discussion after surgery.
Awareness while under the influence of general anesthesia … Continue Reading

Exercise is ideal medicine for the brain.

The Ideal Brain

New brain cells are created as we exercise. The wonderful Miracle
Gro-like substance called brain-derived neutrotrophic factor (BDNF) induces
growth of new neurons. Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Science of
Exercise and the Brain, by John Ratey, MD, has generated significant interest
in new research supporting exercise as medicine for the brain.

Exercise affects cognitive ability just as it affects muscles, making the brain better and
smarter. These new BDNF-stimulated brain cells have increased capillary
circulation and higher levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin,
and norepinephrine. These findings about exercise have led researchers to
propose that exercise benefits memory. Paradoxically, exercise is remotely
chemically akin … Continue Reading

Revolutionary Senate Hearing

March 6, 2009

It is about time that the government wakes up and does something revolutionary about health like joining the wellness revolution.

U.S. Senate Committee Health Education

Integrative Care: A pathway to healthier nations.

Watch the video with the testimonies of Doctors Oz, Hyman , Ornish and Weil.

Definitely an exciting movement that Doctor Oz describes….. Health Corps trains college graduates to enter schools functioning as a health mentor of middle and high school kids how to life healthy lifestyles.

The oilMD prescription for Success is to drink super juices like mangosteen and acai and to use essential oils like ginger oil.
