Informed Consent for H1N1

There is no shortage of emotions when your child is sick. Especially in light of the recent statistics documenting the increased trend in this point of the pandemic of deaths of children from Swine Flu. Although the CDC has verified that the deaths were among children with serious chronic illnesses like diabetes, asthma and immune compromised patients, that is not comforting to parents of well children. Nonetheless, during this H1N1 Swine flu pandemic there are pre-existing conditions which the CDC has identified and publicized which must be considered when making medical care decisions for special groups, such … Continue Reading

The second opinion book. Give Wellness a chance.

The Sweet Smell of Success by James Tad Geiger MD

Books on wellness and aromatherapy have been written from many points of view. The Sweet Smell of Success takes a very unique approach to both of these topics. As an acute care anesthesiologist, I believe clinical aromatherapy should be integrated with conventional allopathic Western Medicine in the Wellness Revolution of the twenty-first century.

Aromatherapy with essential oils is one entity of the vast array of … Continue Reading

Lungs are a big part of my job.  As an anesthesiologist I use an anesthesia machine to breathe for patients undergoing surgery, administering anesthetic  gases  into the patients lungs.  Smoke from fire contains toxic gases plus particulate matter that injures the entire respiratory system. When I saw the pictures of monstrous clouds of billowing smoke over Los Angeles it made me wonder what are the consequences of breathing that air. What are the risks of smoke inhalation to people with heart diseases or respiratory diseases,  like asthma?  Does it predispose to influenza complications? … Continue Reading

Integrative  Immunity  Boosters & the H1 N1 Vaccine. Hippocrates taught that food is our medicine. Since when did medicine become synonymous with drugs rather than the original meaning of “thoughtful action to establish order.” In our  ongoing search for viral immunity do we have to look any farther than our kitchen spice rack or pantry?

I prefer the term integrative medicine to complementary, alternative or holistic medicine  when considering various natural options for the health care of  families, CEO’s and their businesses. … Continue Reading

HR 3200 proposed

Where is the integrative wellness mandate to heal the people and the US health care system in this bill?

Read the bill. The bill  is very technical  but try to distinguish if the sections on these pages are as wide reaching as they seem.This bill is much more than keeping your plan and your doctor. Your plan, your doctor and your hospital will be mandated by the govt to provide a govt prescribed level of care. If these items are true and become the law of the land there will be far reaching effects and … Continue Reading
