this is a copy of my CV/resume. I'd be interested in working with some other doctors who'd be interested in doing the best of alternative, scientific integrative medicine as found in the scientific literature such as Pubmed of the National Library of Medicine, Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, and Life Extension Foundation. We could also do conventional "allopathic" medicine, if the patients specifically wanted this, but I would not like to work with anyone, or any place, not open to this possibility. Patients should be entitled to the best, and also have the choice.

Depression Involved in the Chemotherapy Induced Event-based Prospective Memor...IJEAB
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between depression and occurrence of chemotherapy induced prospective memory impairment in patients with breast cancer (BC).The 63 BC patients before and after chemotherapy were administered with the self-rating depression scale (SDS) and a battery of cognitive neuropsychological tests including event-based and time-based prospective memory (EBPM and TBPM, respectively) tasks. The changes in their prospective memory and cognitive neuropsychological characteristics before and after chemotherapy were compared. Compared with the scores before chemotherapy, the EBPM score exhibited a statistically significant difference after chemotherapy (t = 6.069, P < 0.01), while the TBPM score showed no significant difference (t = 1.087, P > 0.05). Further, compared with the patients without depression, the patients with depression exhibited a statistically significant difference in the EBPM score (t = -4.348, P < 0.01), while the TBPM scores did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t = -1.260, P > 0.05). Post-chemotherapy, EBPM and overall cognitive functions in BC patients merged with depression were found to decline, while TBPM did not show a significant change, suggesting that the combination of chemotherapy and depression might be related with the occurrence of post-chemotherapy EBPM impairment.

The goal of patient interviews is to develop a therapeutic relations.docxrtodd194
The goal of patient interviews is to develop a therapeutic relationship and make a diagnosis. A therapeutic relationship comprises the healthcare provider and patient feeling comfortable with each other. The patient comes to the interview to seek relief from an illness, while the healthcare provider understands the patient's problems to provide a remedy. They trust that the care provider will listen to the issues and offer them comfort and confidence (Dang et al., 2017). Diagnosis involves an evaluation of the patient's signs and symptoms. The care practitioner obtains information on the patient's signs and symptoms by asking specific questions. At the end of the interview, the practitioner comes up with a differential diagnosis to determine appropriate treatment options.
The healthcare provider needs to follow specific interview guidelines. For instance, the interview setting ought to be comfortable, free from disturbances, and discreet. Besides, the questions should be open-ended, focused, and specific to allow patients to express themselves. Also, the care provider needs to ask the patient for clarification and make further explanations. Additionally, the healthcare practitioner ought to be emphatic and pay attention to the patient's emotional responses.
Healthcare providers are likely to make mistakes when providing care for students. I remember an incident where I used an improper technique to measure a patient's blood pressure. The patient was a teenager who had fainted at the school playground. I put the sphygmomanometer on the patient's arm without removing his sweater. Due to this mistake, the patient's blood pressure measurements increased by 40 points. The overall high blood pressure points seemed odd since there was no history of blood pressure or anxiety. While retracing my steps, I identified that the patient had his sweater on, which explained the elevated pressure. The incident made me learn that staying calm during emergencies is significant.
Medical history refers to a report that has the medical recollections and concerns of a patient. The critical components of a patient history are chief complaint (CC), history of present illness (HPI), review of systems (ROS), and past, family, and social history (PFSH). Chief complaint or concern refers to the patient's primary reason for a visit, such as persistent headaches. HPI is the patient's comprehensive details of the chief complaint and the symptom progression (Mathioudakis et al.,2016). For instance, constant headaches for one week, causing dizziness. The ROS involves a list of questions that seek to obtain further information on the patient's additional symptoms or previous and current problems. Lastly, the PFSH comprises information on the patient's previous illnesses, medications, and incidence among family members.
Healthcare providers should be culturally competent when providing care. Doing so will prevent misunderstandings and barriers from caring. I have e.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.

Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

I believe in freedom, and free market medicine. I belong to AAPS (Association of American Physicians and Surgeons)
which I believe is the best organization; reasons for this are many. George Washington's personal doctor, Dr. Benjamin
Rush, talked about the need for medical freedoms to be in the Constitution, equal to religious freedoms; very relevant today:
http://www.conservapedia.com/Benjamin_Rush
I've had one lawsuit, which I describe below. I saw the patient twice in 1995, found out about the lawsuit in 1997, and we
showed up for trial on 21 January 2001 in Flemington, NJ. The patient fell in the parking lot that morning and broke his
tibia and fibula. A decision was made later that day to settle the lawsuit. I had discussed with the patient that it was not
definite that he'd had a “seizure”, that the Depakote anticonvulsant had substantial liver toxicity, and I showed him the bold
faced warning in the PDR showing this, that some people had died from cirrhosis from this medicine, and that some patients
had needed liver transplants because of it. Although the patient had admitted only to depression in the initial history, when
we found out about the lawsuit 2 years later it turned out that he did have a history of chronic alcoholism. I'll say that many
patients, including young ones, do wind up with cirrhosis and liver transplants when they take Depakote. Other
anticonvulsants also have significant liver toxicity, patients wind up with cirrhosis and liver transplants, and this is not good.
These medicines are used widely in England and the U.S., and a lot of people damage their livers, but Germany tends to
avoid toxic medications a lot more in favor of safer alternatives, especially natural means such as intermittent fasting (which
causes ketosis which is pretty much the most effective, and safest, ways of dealing with seizures). Most U.S. medical
textbooks don't talk about these alternatives (because of pharmaceutical company profits being a driving force behind U.S.
medicine), but people in Europe (except England) are aware of these matters, as are people in Asia, they generally don't take
these medications, and they tend to be healthier, and not die as frequently of medication related side effects from synthetic
and semi-synthetic medications. I will say that surgery in the U.S. is good, but there needs to be a lot more reliance on
alternative-inexpensive methods of treating cancer, and many other illnesses, that are far more effective, and far less
expensive. The love of money has caused certain aspects of the U.S. economy to do much more harm than good to the
people; this has become apparent to many people since the Internet. Anyhow, the best doctors in medical school, in my
opinion, were the ones who knew of these dangers, tended to get patients off of all but the absolutely necessary medications,
and were aware of the profit motive of powerful corporations as a driving force behind U.S. medicine, but not so in a lot of
other countries.

2. The best medical literature, in my opinion, is the scientific medical literature as in PubMed of the National Library of
Medicine, Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine (founded by 2 time Nobel Prize winning chemist, Dr. Linus Pauling andDr.
Abraham Hoffer). There is no question that this is more effective:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ http://www.orthomed.org/
Vladimir Lenin said that to control a country, you need to control the medical system of that country. Dr. Benjamin Rush, in
1787, predicted that all of this was going to happen if medical freedoms were not granted equal importance to religious
freedoms in the U.S. Constitution. There are many scientific treatments from the ancient world that are far more effective,
nontoxic, and much less expensive than conventional treatments, for very sophisticated scientific reasons. Patients are
coming to realize this since the Internet:
http://www.mwt.net/~drbrewer/canart1.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15330172
Toward the end of I am including what I believe are some examples of very good scientific medicine, and excellent doctors
and organizations that are doing this type of medicine; this is the way of the future. Doctors and patients are realizing how
many dangerous, toxic, and deadly side effects there are with many highly profitable, patentable synthetic and semi-
synthetic pharmaceuticals, and how much more effective are so many inexpensive natural compounds and treatments, which
have been widely used in Asia, and the rest of the world, for thousands of years, and were being used in the United States up
until ~ 1910 when they became “non approved” with the Flexner Report. This is a long history involving wealthy,
powerful elements that would come to control U.S. medicine, as Dr. Rush foresaw, in a way that was detrimental to patients,
doctors, and freedom.

2) Interviewed on the Meria Heller Show, www.meria.net, in about November, 2006. Areas discussed included bioweapons,
mycoplasmas, AIDS, Gulf War Syndrome, and certain diseases in the U.S. (and elsewhere) related to this bioweapons
research, testing, and deployment. Also discussed were the web site of Professor Garth Nicolson and the Institute for
Molecular Medicine, www.immed.org and his book, Project Day Lily, the Common Cause Medical Research Foundation in
Sudbury, Ontario (with chapters in Canada and the United States), and the Journal of Degenerative Disease. I consider these
resources to be invaluable in knowing the origins, and treatments, of certain of these diseases.

discussed issues with callers similar to those in 2) above, as had been discussed on the Meria Heller Show in about
November, 2006.
Malpractice Lawsuit: I've had one lawsuit. I saw the patient and wife twice in 1995, found out about it in 1997, we
showed up at Hunterdon County Court, Flemington, NJ on ~ 21 January 2001. While my lawyer was discussing pretrial
issues with the Judge and plaintiff's lawyer, a court security officer came running into the courtroom calling out for the
plaintiff's lawyer. They all ran and looked out the window; the plaintiff had fallen in the parking lot and fractured his tibia
and fibula. I have wondered if this fall was deliberate to avoid the possibility of going to jail because of multiple perjury of
he and his wife during their depositions, as well as both of them not telling me the truth during my initial and follow up
evaluations with he and his wife. They both denied knowing how his head injury had occurred, and the wife suggested that
someone might have “assaulted” him. I was a bit surprised, two years later when I got the lawsuit, to find out that he'd fallen
off the roof of his house while taking down Christmas lights, and they'd known this all along. I recalled the patient telling
me that he'd discontinued his health insurance and could not afford a lot of testing. It's very unfortunate that our health-care
system, due to stifling over-regulation and lack of free market (that made the average cost of a doctor visit $2.00 before
World War 2, an appendectomy $20.00, and a cholecystectomy $30 or $40 as Andy Schlafly, Chief Legal Counsel for
AAPS, pointed out in his talk), has become so expensive that people Patient had a head injury with trans-temporal skull
fracture, spent a little while in the neuro intensive care center, and was discharged. He subsequently had a brief episode in a
karate class, in which he saw “stars” while standing up quickly. This can happen to anyone, but would be a little more likely
in someone with an occipital lobe-visual cortex contusion. The first doctor who saw him put him on Dilantin, he broke out
4. in a skin rash (possible Stevens Johnson Syndrome which can be fatal), he was switched to Tegretol and had another
episode of Stevens Johnson Syndrome, was discontinued from the Tegretol, and he was then put on Depakote which is one
of the most hepatotoxic/liver toxic anticonvulsants in the “armamentarium”, and a lot of patients wind up sustaining liver
damage, having liver transplants, and dying. I discussed with the patient that this didn't sound like a seizure to me, I
showed him the bold faced warnings in the PDR about potential liver transplants and death, and he was entirely in
agreement with me about discontinuing the Depakote. He'd taught psychology at the college level, and knew what liver
transplant meant. Although the patient had only admitted to a history of depression, it turned out he had a history of chronic
alcoholism. Had I not recommended that he discontinue the Depakote, and had he continued with the alcohol, he quite
likely would have died, or needed a liver transplant. I did also tell him not to drive, and documented this in the dictation
thatwas transcribed by an external transcription service. He later pleaded with me that this would severely limit his ability to
get around, so I told him that local driving, at low speeds, would probably be OK. He did subsequently have a very minor
car accident, went to Medical Center at Princeton, they did a CT scan of his brain which showed, “Old encephalomalacia;
no new head injury”, and he was discharged home that evening. He tried to say that this caused a Sz, but it did not.
Furthermore, one paper I retrieved showed that patients with true seizure disorders actually have better driving records
because they don't want to lose their licenses, they can sense when a seizure is coming, and they pull off to the side of the
road to avoid accidents, and possible loss of license. Furthermore, his lawyer wanted to prove that he had a seizure disorder,
so an inpatient special was arranged at Hospital for Special Surgery, an NYU affiliate, for one week of attempts to document
seizure disorder, including discontinuing the anticonvulsant(Depakote), photic stimulation to try to induce a seizure, and
continuous camera monitoring for Sz activity. The report at the conclusion of the inpatient special was “No definite
evidence of any seizure activity”. It's my opinion that if his Depakote were resumed, and especially if he continued the
alcohol, he quite likely would eventually have damaged his liver severely, probably necessitating a liver transplant or dying,
that would legitimately be worth a lawsuit, and that is what does happen to a lot of patients and doctors; I avoided that. I
still think I did what was right, that the idea of “preventing” a seizure disorder from developing by giving anticonvulsants is
absurd, and not supported by the literature, and that a book I'd read about a year before I first saw the patient on a big
international conference on seizure disorders had concluded that the best anticonvulsant is having the seizure itself. It's
something like throwing up/vomiting; when you vomit you feel relieved and no need to vomit again. It's the same thing with
seizures, they concluded; having a seizure is the best anticonvulsant. Many people who take Depakote and Tegretol wind up
getting cirrhosis, liver transplants, and/or dying, and he quite likely didn't even have a seizure, as was apparent from what he
told me in the history, and was apparent from the week long inpatient special.

Links to interesting scientific literature, videos, etc. regarding optimum, safe treatment of common medical problems, and
other useful information: Beneath are some ideas that I’ve seen and heard about with regard to free market medicine, and
better medicine, than what the current over-regulated structure is permitting. Many are aware that the biggest problem is
over-regulation to stifle free market competition by those who are trying to control medicine as a monopoly. This is not
what this country is about. A number of years ago I found out about various aspects of scientific, integrative-alternative
medicine, and that some of the best medical literature is actually the scientific literature, as found in sources in addition to
the conventional medical textbooks:
1) I know Dr. Rima Laibow and, in the first 10 minutes of this talk below, she explains what the enormous power was that
came to control U.S. medicine, and German medicine in the early 1900s, to the detriment of everyone in the United States
and Germany, to the defeat of Germany in World War 2, and to the detriment of the U.S. medical system ever since: Worth
your time! Dr Rima Laibow Codex Alimentarius (how the medical system came to be controlled):

Orthomolecular Medicine: http://www.amazon.com/How-Live-Longer-Feel-Better/dp/0870710966
The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine:http://www.orthomed.org/jom/jom.html http://www.orthomed.org/ (founded by 2
time Nobel Prize winning chemist, Dr. Linus Pauling).
3) Dr. Michael Schachter’s excellent website with his wellness center in Suffern, New York:
http://www.mbschachter.com/
He has many useful things like supplemental iodine (instead of Synthroid-Levothyroxine) since it's estimated that 75% of
the U.S. population is iodine deficient, plus we’re getting fluoride in much of our drinking water. This can be supplied in the
form of kelp/seaweed and/or Lugol's iodine solution, which used to be the most commonly prescribed "medication" at the
beginning of the 20th Century. The levothyroxine doesn’t have nearly as much of the necessary iodine, and the
5. supplemental iodine is better: http://www.mbschachter.com/Iodine.htm and the Riordan Clinic in Kansas . There are getting
to be more of these places around the country which do what works best , and they cross train doctors:
http://www.riordanclinic.org/
Normal iodine and thyroid status also reverse fibrocystic disease of the breast. The Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery from
University of Washington, in Seattle gave a talk about this at the AAPS meeting in 2008, and results have been very
impressive. Mayo Clinic used to cross train doctors like this, and the doctors were very happy in a superb learning
environment, but now doctors have significantly been “divided and conquered” by Managed Care, overspecialization, and
government. Doctors could share office space with each other, rotate through each others’ offices to get this cross training,
and work in a congenial, fee for service environment which would make third party involvement unnecessary and, as usual,
counterproductive. In talking about medical freedoms, Nobel Prize winning economist, Dr. Milton Friedman (below) gave a
talk before the doctors at the Mayo Clinic in which he suggested that the practice of medicine should be unlicensed.
Freedom is what makes professional athletes so good at what they do, and freedom is what allowed Thomas Edison to
become the #1 inventor in the history of the United States, after he was thrown out of school in the third grade. He was free
to learn on his own, as are the athletes. This could be done with everything in the U.S., and the people could be provided
with a free, or minimally priced, system of examinations (written and practical) to be able to show what they know and can
do. This was what was done in Germany before the Nazis destroyed their freedoms. I’ve seen superb physicians’ assistants
and nurse practitioners, and I believe that it should be the patients’ choice as to who they want to see, or what treatments
they want. People and doctors could work together, cross train each other as they did at the Mayo Clinic, and do
phenomenal work because of freedom. Milton Friedman - Socialized Medicine:

4) Benfotiamine (the lipid soluble form of thiamine) and pyridoxamine (a vitamer (isomer of a vitamin) in the vitamin B6
family, which includes pyridoxal and pyridoxine) are extremely important in prevention of the advanced glycation end
products that lead to diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, neuropathy, and atherosclerosis: Prevention of arterial stiffening by
pyridoxamine in diabetes is associated with inhibition of the pathogenic glycation on aortic collagen:

5) Or you can go to the Life Extension Foundation and get their free scientific reports:
http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2007/jan2007_report_benfotiamine_01.htm
There are many more examples on PubMed for other medical problems and found in books such as the Life Extension
Foundation's thick textbook of medicine; this book is phenomenal for a large amount of useful information:
http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item33600/Disease-Prevention-and-Treatment-Book- 4th-Edition.html
which discusses conventional medicine and the alternatives, or there’s the book about the FDA and its attempts to suppress
the truth and useful, inexpensive treatments:
http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item33816/FDA-Failure-Deception-Abuse.html
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial on benfotiamine treatment in patients with diabetic
nephropathy (it also helps prevent the retinopathy, neuropathy, atherosclerosis, and aortic stiffness):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20413516
Predictably we have the FDA trying to ban it in order to protect the profits of Big Pharma and prevent people from getting
better and having good health: FDA Seeks to Ban Pyridoxamine:

Pyridoxamine improves functional, structural, and biochemical alterations of peritoneal membranes in uremic peritoneal
dialysis rats:

6. In my opinion, people who try to restrict these freedoms should be put on trial for genocide. Benfotiamine protects against
peritoneal and kidney damage in peritoneal dialysis:

in biochemistry labs around the world for their anticancer properties, as well as decreasing some of the inflammation in
diabetes which prevents proper utilization of glucose in the inflamed tissues. Curcumins are helpful for many things:

I believe that some of the best medicine and medical research are found on Pub Med of the National Library of Medicine in
the scientific literature, and from doctors such as Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa in his Brain Longevity
book.

6) Interesting video beneath from an AAPS meeting in 2008:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycQQrtDZskE&feature=gv&hl=en
Interesting viewpoint from George Washington’s personal doctor:
http://www.conservapedia.com/Benjamin_Rush
"The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one
class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic..... Unless we put medical
freedom into the Constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force
people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers."
