I know you are all overloaded with Covid 19 info from good sources and from hype (and political bias). It is hard for me to know the difference at times. But the things I share with you I am 95% plus I am sure off.
- The peak in California will probably occur in the next 2-4 weeks. It will go up and so will the deaths. BUT...
- Watch the first 4:30 min of this interview with in-the-trenches New York physician Dr. Davis Price at Weil Cornell Medical Center which he says is essentially an "all Covid 19" Hospital. His advice is very encouraging about the spread and how to protect yourself and loved ones....
DON'T' PUT YOUR HANDS TO YOUR FACE unless you have washed them - not your mouth, nose or eyes!..... Watch this short 4:30 min video. It is totally worth it. He is the real deal on the front lines
If we do a good job with distancing ourselves (6 feet, no groups) and hygiene (hand-washing) for the next 30 days we may be able to keep the deaths to 100,000-200,000. As terrible as that sounds if we did nothing some estimates are 2.5 million. But for right now Americans are doing good. Stay the course, even if you feel like you are in a "calm" area. Infection rates go up exponentially.
1000 plus patients in New York are on hydroxychloroquine and zithromax so we are going to find out if this life saving therapy with 2 common drugs works sooner than later.
THE ONE THING THAT YOU HERE OVER AND OVER AGAIN - THE PEOPLE THAT DIE "GENERALLY" HAVE OTHER RISK FACTORS LIKE - HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, COPD, ASTHMA, OBESITY, CANCER...
SO THE LAST THINK YOU SHOULD GO DO IS GO HOME AND EAT HIGH FAT, HIGH INFLAMMATORY, ESPECIALLY TO THE LUNGS, AND SUGAR-RICH "COMFORT FOODS".
Like a lot of cheese, baked products and processed carbohydrates and a lot of creamy stuff. Comfort foods or not. They can make your upper airway more congestion.
YOU SHOULD BE EATING CLEAN AS A WHISTLE LIKE "YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!... AND IT DOES FOR SOME OF YOU" - NO DAIRY, WHEAT, PROCESSED CARBS, EAT LOTS OFF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. LAY OFF THE ALCOHOL.
YOU WANT TO REVERSE YOUR HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, ASTHMA OR BREATHING ISSUES, LOSE WEIGHT, ETC….NOW! FOLLOW MY 12 STEP - 21 DAY HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM HERE.

Headaches? Pain? Arthritis? Think Food First! Save Thousands of Dollars With BED Diet!
Have Headaches (Pain) Think "Food First". In May of 1983 - yep almost 37 years ago, I was working at my first job in a wholistic medical practice in Marina Del Rey for Dr. Rob Krakovitz, MD. He put everyone on a two week "detox" which was a vegetable puree, some vitamins and some psyllium seed husks. What I observed was all kinds of pain syndromes improve during this two week vegetable puree. Not only headaches, but also joint pain, abdominal pain, about any kind of "itis" you can think of.
In my own life I can trigger a headaches starting behind my right eye with a combination of chocolate, alcohol, green or black tea, or black coffee or a moderate excess of one of these. I am allergic to aspirin so in the past if I "jumped" on a headache quickly with an espresso and 2 500 mg Tylenols it would go away. But that stopped working. Now a bubbly/sugary old fashion coke with 2 Tylenol’s usually does it. It happens about two times per month. Usually when I have had a single cup of black coffee daily for several days then I add one of the 3 other triggers (tea green or black, chocolate or alcohol). The other thing to note about headaches/pain is that your sensitivities can change with life and age. Green tea never use to do this too me until about 2-3 years ago. My load is low now. As long as I skip a day or two of my black coffee per week and do a little of one of the other three.... no headaches. But occasionally I slip. But I know what it is when it happens. If I catch it early I catch it. If not. Oh well there is a gradually occurring, nauseating pain behind my right eye. But because I know what foods affect me then I don't have to go to a doctor or take some chronic medication for it.
So going on more of a whole food plant-based diet gets you off of some classic triggers...dairy foods, processed wheat products/baked goods, eggs, some plant-based people give up caffeine as well.... Remember if you hurt anywhere think food first.
"Key Point: Anytime you go on a fast, modified fast, detox, elimination diet for more that 4-5 days you can learn a lot and save THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS if you pay attention to how you feel while you are on the "diet-fast-detox" and then how you feel when you re-introduce foods that you have eliminated. PAY ATTENTION AND SAFE MONEY AND REDUCE YOUR PAIN AND DOCTOR VISITS!
Watch this video about "Food and Headaches." But the truth is any food can cause any chronic or repetitive pain (joints, belly, muscles, nerves, etc.). This video is excellent! Some of you will get rid of headaches and a few other if you really go Whole Food Plant Based or eat off my basic elimination diet.
That is why the first time I see someone I put them on my "Basic Elimination Diet" for two weeks (Watch).
Be Well,

Immune Boosting Tips to Help With Any Virus (Influenza A & B, Covid 19, Corona, Epsteine Barr Virus)
Here are some practical tips that will work with any virus...
Simple Help For Your Immune System -
Covid 19, Flu, Bacterial or Viral Infections
Sinus, Throat or Upper Respiratory Infections
Supplements
High Potency Multivitamin and Mineral
and….
Maintenance/Prevention Acute Illness for 1-2 Weeks
Vitamin A 10,000 units/d – can increase up to 100,000 U for 1-2 weeks
Vitamin C 1000-4000 mg/d - can increase “to bowel tolerance” indefinitely (gas, bloating, loose stools, back off) and maintain at the highest dose as long as you don’t get lose stools or diarrhea. Example 1 - take 1000 mg every half hour. After let’s say 3 hours getting gas, bloating. Then you might skip an hour and try 1000 mg later. Maximum does will very from person to person and illness to illness. Example 2 – when I was 28 I had adult chicken pox. Sickest I have ever been. Took 40,000 mg of vitamin C daily orally (10 teaspoons) and IV 80-90 grams (80,000-90,000) no diarrhea. Three weeks later couldn’t take 5000 mg of vitamin C orally would get loose stools
Vitamin D 5000 – 10,000 IU/d – can increase up to 50,000 IU daily for 1-2 weeks
Zinc 25-50 mg/d – can increase up to 50-100 mg
These higher doses are if you are beginning to feel sick or are sick. They can be maintained for 1-2 weeks at these higher levels and can be tested to see what levels you are at (Vit C, A, D, zinc) then.
Note: I routinely find with blood testing, especially in those over 65, classic deficiencies of vitamins A, C, D and the mineral zinc. I am very suspicious that the common deficiency of 2 or more of these vitamins and mineral set the elderly up for a shingles outbreak, flu and pneumonia susceptibility, and frequent urinary tract infections.
_________________________
Facial Dip and Sinus Flush
For any nasal or sinus congestion from allergies, colds, flu or any upper respiratory infection – bacterial or viral – works better than nasal washes, Neti pot, etc.
1. Plug the sink
2. Put in 2-3 tablespoons of salt (any kind)
3. Fill the sink up with hot water
4. Test hot water with your chin before sticking your whole face in
5. If you must add a bit of cold water to get your face in do so
6. Goal - the hotter the water the better --- but don’t burn yourself
7. Immerse your chin, mouth, nose, eyes in the water (ears out of the water)
8. Hold for 5 seconds
9. Lift your face out of the water and blow your nose. Then put your face back in the water
10. Do this a total of 5 times
11. Times 3-5 you can allow water to seep up your nostril if you like. Don’t have to snort it.
12. Do this morning and evening
This technique seems simple, but it is very effective. Again, the hotter water the
better but don’t burn yourself.
_________________________
Nasal Flush in Shower
1) In the shower you can just cup your hands to catch the water then snort it and spit it out. But this stings quite a bit.
2) Fill small Tupperware container with “tepid” water and 2 tablespoons of salt. Get blue bulbed syringe and cut tip off so it fits without going too far up your nose. Draw up salt water. Tilt head forward and put bulb in one nostril and squirt water in one nostril. Will come out on other side. Spit into shower.
_________________________
Environment
1. You want to be in the cleanest environment/air possible
2. Avoid pets in your bedroom or on your bed
3. Ideally hard wood floors and no hanging drapes (blinds)
4. HEPA air filter in bedroom (Austin Air Healthmate Plus)
5. ERMI test if suspicious of mold - Envirobiomics
6. Pure Maintenance Golden State for mold air testing/inspection then “Fogging”
with patented hydrogen peroxide and vinegar product
_________________________
Diet
1. Whole foods – no processed foods – no added oils or sugars, minimally processed
grains – whole grain products is best. High in fiber per serving.
2. Low Allergy – See BED Diet handout of allowed foods to shop for (eliminate dairy,
wheat and egg products at least) https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/educationalhandouts/Kirks-21-Day-Healthy-Living-Busy-People-Program+6+page+handout.pdf
3. Plant-Based mostly – 90% or more should be plant-based. Less than a palmful
of animal food per day
4. Mostly fruits and vegetables – the more color the more range of antioxidant
compounds. And the more inflammation reducing the diet is (less swollen glands,
mucous in lungs and sinuses)
5. Only eat whole, unprocessed complexed carbohydrates (whole grains, beans,
lentils, peas, yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash, root vegetables).
6. Raw nuts and seeds 1-2 palmfuls per day.

Comments and Thoughts on Covid 19 Risk Factors
Those who are over 70 year of age and who have heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases and cancers have increased risk of dying from Covid 19 infection. These are the chronic diseases that a whole food plant-based diet is so effective in treating. It is also an anti-inflammatory diet that can reduce inflammation in the lungs (no dairy, processed wheat products, eggs, meats…) reducing the risk to respiratory distress. Fruit and vegetable consumption are linked to lower respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Also, vegetables and fruits are the sources of powerful antioxidants and plant phytochemicals that help reduce inflammation, protect your airways and lead to their dilating.

Lessons from the "Original" Okinawan Longevity Diet! Vegetabes. Vegetables!!
This video is an "oldie but goodie" about the high vegetable diet of the Okinawan's when they were the longest living culture in the world. The real traditional diet of the longest living Okinawans was mostly vegetables with very high consumption of sweet potato as their "good" or starchy carbohydrate. Just Watch!
This is why their diet and health has fallen off. It's not their genes it was the change in their lifestyle... More fast foods, more animal products, more processed carbs, less physical activity, etc. Watch!...."It’s Your Lifestyle Not Your Genes That Protect You From Chronic Diseases (Heart Disease, Diabetes, Obesity, Alzheimer’s, etc.)
– The Okinawan Paradox" (3:44)
This is how it could be...our longevity and healthy aging! "Healthy Lifestyle and Diet (mostly plants) and Okinawan Longevity" (3:00 min)
My interview with Craig Willcox, PhD at Okinawa International University (2016) on: "Heart Protective Foods of Okinawa and the Fox03 Gene" – An Interview with Craig Willcox, PhD
and
The “Longevity” Foods of the Okinawan Centenarians – An Interview with Craig Willcox, PhD Vegetables are king! And eat mainly whole, unprocessed carbs and you will be fine!
...and here my interview with Dr. Willcox's twin brother Bradley Willcox, MD a geriatric specialist at Kuakini Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. "The Okinawan Centenarians – A Model of Healthy Aging to Study and Learn From" – An Interview with Bradley Willcox, MD
P.S. You will hear continually that the Covid-19 virus is most deadly in those who are compromised...The elderly and those who have heart disease, diabetes, etc. Well, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but heart disease and diabetics are "reversible" with a whole-food plant based diet. That would be the best way to optimize your immune system and stay well. Get rid of all the high risk diseases that cause you to be more susceptible to Covid-19 by eating an unprocessed plant-based diet.

Eat More Good Carbs and Less Bad Fats and Reverse Your Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
Obvious circumstances with Covid-19 virus have made a "people gathering" for my normal talks in Los Angels and Sacramento postponed this month March (2020) and indefinitely. But I was able to record my talk with audio and my Powerpoint slides so you can have even better access to the information and take you time review it.
The talk's title is "Eat MORE 'Good Carbs' & Less Fat! & Reverse Your Diabetes & Insulin Resistance." There are about 70ish slides with 4 short videos mixed in. The videos are excellent and the slides are dense with information.
Bottom line is diabetes is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States but is largely a preventable and many times reversible condition that increases the risk to all other chronic diseases. It is also one of the risk factors in those that are more susceptible to Covid-19 being more lethal to ones health. So good blood sugar control or reversing diabetes is an important thing to do for your overall health and
resistance to disease.

Fat Causes Insulin Resistance Which is Seen In Diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease! Check Out the Neuroquant Brain MRI to See The Reason Behind Your Memory Issues!
Most people, including health professionals don't realize that if you reduce insulin resistance you not only reverse type 2 diabetes (>90% of diabetics) but you also help prevent Alzheimer's disease and reverse early cognitive decline. Alzheimer's disease has been described as "Type 3 diabetes."
Additionally most of the public and health professionals don't know that it is fat, especially saturated fat (from animals) in the muscle, liver and pancreas that causes the insulin resistance, blocking the ability for insulin to "open the door" and allow sugar into the cell to be burned as energy. Consequently your blood sugar goes up as well as your body pumps out insulin to try and "kick the cell's door open to allow sugar in." If you reduced the saturated and trans fats in the diet, eat a low fat diet of less than 15%, eating only whole-food carbohydrates (fiber intact) you can reverse type 2 diabetes, reduce insulin requirements in type 1 diabetes and improve cognitive function (and prevent Alzheimer's disease).
The role of fat in diabetes is explained simply and clearly by Dr. Rosane Oliveira director of U.C. Davis Integrative Medicine (READ HERE)
Watch This Video on “Fat Toxicity Causing Insulin Resistance”
What Causes Insulin Resistance?
So if you improve your insulin resistance you not only can get rid of your diabetes but you can prevent Alzheimer's disease and reverse cognition and memory issues.
BRAIN IMAGING FOR COGNITIVE DECLINE - ALZHEIMER'S OR OTHER CONDITIONS?
”Neuroquant Technology!”
Many people want to know if they can do a test to see if they have Alzheimer's disease. There really is no one perfect test. But a type of Brain Scan (MRI) using the Neuroquant Program to evaluate brain structures can go a long way in pointing to you where you may have brain structural changes that suggest Alzheimer's, inflammation, infection or conditions like mold or Lyme toxicity which can be other reason's for cognitive decline and memory loss aside from Alzheimer's. The only place in Sacramento that uses the Neuroquant technology is is Diagnostic Radiological Imaging (DRI). The test is paid for by Medicare with the appropriate diagnostic codes for memory loss and cognitive decline. Cash price for those who
have no insurance or an HMO is $780.
What makes this test so exciting to me is to able to differentiate between different causes of memory and cognitive issues and then treat accordingly. Also, at DRI I have access to an excellent radiologist who does nothing but look at Neuroquant MRIs to simplify reading the report and interpreting them for me.
Watch here for information about the Neuroquant MRI to evaluate cognitive decline.
Then give me a call between 8-9 a.m. to discuss - 916-489-4400 or come in for an appointment to discuss my approach to Alzheimer’s, memory issues and reversing diabetes.

Sugar, Sugar Everywhere! It's Up To You To Be Smart! Government & Business Won't Help!
Actually I don't want the Government telling me what to do or eat even if a "Benevolent Dictator" saying you couldn't eat anything but whole, unprocessed carbohydrate would save a lot of lives... That one diet rule would wipe out most chronic diseases in this country. BUT watch this video on Sugar in the US Diet and what our own Government and the free market have done. I am not in favor of government restrictions on foods. I am for an educated public. So educate yourself and don't make poor food choices. Your health is in your hands and "between your ears."

New Book! "Mastering Diabetes".... Eating More Good Carbs and Less Fat and Meat Improves Insulin Resistance…
My friends and professional colleagues Robby Barbaro, MPH and Cyrus Khambatta, PhD (nutritional biochemistry) have just come out with their outstanding new book: "Mastering Diabetes: The Revolutionary Method to Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently in Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, Pre-diabetes, and Gestational Diabetes" ....on how to reverse type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes, and dramatically reduce your insulin need in type 1 and 1.5 diabetics. And even more importantly reduce your disease risk to heart and vascular diseases, stroke, hypertension, cancer, kidney disease, neuropathies and Alzheimer's disease which diabetics have a staggering increase risk of.... If you trust me this is a must read for any level of blood sugar problem you have.
Since Robby and Cyrus are type 1 diabetics (they must take insulin to survive) this book is loaded with information for type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetics which are about 10% or so of the diabetics population.
In there book they explain in detail the one great dogma that is so misunderstood today, not just by the public but by most medical professionals as well, that is carbohydrate rich foods are not the cause or problem in diabetes. It's the fat, especially animal fat (or maybe the animal protein), along with excess calories from any source with lack of exercise that causes diabetes.
They go into a "deep dive" on why the ketogenic diet works initially, but is NOT the long-term solution to diabetes. They go into a "deep dive" showing that it is the fat in the muscle cell (liver and pancreas as well) that blocks insulin's ability (insulin resistance) to allow sugar to go into the cell easily (insulin sensitivity) and be burned as energy (please watch video illustration of this below. Most physicians have no clue about fat and insulin resistance) WATCH....

Want to know how this 63 year-old male lost 59 1/2 lbs in 4 1/2 months by eating without any limits on the quantity of plant food he consumed? Come tonight and we will discuss!
9/3/19 Weight - 330.8 lb, BP 143/93, P 44
9/5/19 Weight - 326.2 lb, BP 128/82, P 47

****Even though he was deficient in testosterone from the very beginning of his program he received no testosterone or testosterone enhancement till after he had lost 32 lbs (11/5). The enhancers of testosterone production really didn't work in this subject. All the weight loss up to this point was from his own efforts with diet and exercise and desire!

Testosterone is not the answer to every males weight issues! I use it but want the patient to find out how much he can do on their own. If you give testosterone right away you are taking away a patient's power and you are attaching him to taking testosterone the rest of his life! Any physician ever tell you that? It's testosterone for life in reality.... Again I use testosterone in patients.... It can be incredibly valuable!..... BUT I try and give it AFTER a really good effort by the patient using lifestyle! Patients need to know how much they can achieve on their own... even if you are deficient in the hormone like this gentleman.
