Further Clarification of What I Do

What is it that makes my medical practice special?
Why would someone come to me rather than continue with their regular doctor(s)?
Why would someone spend cash on a medical consult rather than go the regular route and stay in the medical system?

These questions are extremely important and relevant to my new medical practice. I am attempting to offer a service that is not currently available within "the system" or anywhere that I am aware of. I am a "regular doctor" by training and have practiced in the "system" for nearly 20 years. However, it became very clear to me early in my career that standard medicine only offered the tip of the iceberg of what true healing involved. During my first 20 years of medical work I learned that healing and getting well involved so much more than brief office visits, prescription medicines and medical procedures. I went on an extensive, learning journey in the world of healing and learned great lessons. I explored the worlds of psychology, complementary medicine and the critical world of lifestyle medicine(peoples' daily routines, habits and behaviors). In addition, my personal experience with Multiple Sclerosis and the healing that I received with the Liberation Procedure propelled me on a journey that has been both transformative for me personally and showed me that healing comes first from the formation of new perceptions and beliefs. Once an individual perceives of his or her situation with "new eyes"and then subsequently forms new beliefs about his or her ability to master and work with their challenge, then a new world of possibility opens and transformation is possible.

This is what I wish to offer: new eyes to view old problems. A road to transformation and change; allowing people to break out of their "stuck" places and move forward into new freedom and a fuller life equipped with the tools and skills and support to become who they want to be.

I am no longer a primary care physician. I am no longer in the system. I am there for people when they wish to make changes and get "unstuck". Change is possible and it is within all of our grasps. With time(1-2 hour visits) and focused attention on your story, I can help you get to where you want to go. Come on in and find your new eyes.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

$$$

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.

Liberation

It is now 3 days after "Liberation Day". Sunday afternoon 12:30 pm. February 28th, 2010. Three days ago, Dr. Mohsin Saeed at Scripps Clinic opened my left jugular vein with angioplasty and my right jugular vein with angioplasty followed by a stent. The procedure is called by its inventor, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, The Liberation Procedure. It is a revolutionary treatment for an old, disabling disease -- Multiple Sclerosis. Until about 3 months ago, the only theory I knew about MS was that it was an autoimmune disease which attacked and destroyed myelin, the external coating around nerves. For unknown reasons, nerve conduction was slowed while plaques formed in the brain. It was always unclear why or when attacks would happen but they did and were difficult to control. Modern medicine responded with anti-inflammatory drugs and immune suppressants following the line of reasoning that if the disease was caused by an immune response, then stopping the immune response would stop the dise...
