End of Summer Pando Update


Pando Health Groups is progressing with enthusiasm and excitement. While our team (myself, Nurse Kim Chartrand, Movement Master Sebastian Slovin and Director Of Client Experience Terry Dadkah) are new to the world of private practice, we have developed a product that I am extremely proud to share with the San Diego community. We call ourselves Medicine(+) because we offer both really strong, efficient and quality medical care PLUS a wide variety of supplemental classes and programs that expand the limiting walls of traditional medicine to a much broader and holistic path to true health.


We are now offering Medicare Yearly Physicals with our expanded view of prevention and guide to well-being. This is NOT at all a quick, superficial check-up; it is a comprehensive history and physical with the goal of clarifying each clients' goals and desires for their future health and plans for care as they age. It can include guidance on posture and movement along with a focus on emotional health if these are desired by the client. Issues that could never be adequately addressed in a 30-45 minute appointment can be fully explored in our clinic. You can be a part of any local medical system but still come here for this extra special look into your life and health.

Our movement classes are expanding nicely as athletes and "the rest of us" can enhance flexibility, ease of movement and energy. "Intelligent Flexibility" with Michael Rubano is fun and expansive while "Tai Chi and Xi Gong" with Matt Szymczak is a powerful and stabilizing art. Sebastian Slovin, our house movement guru, has a novel "Healthy Back" class which combines yoga with Intelligent Flexibility and a "Restorative Yoga" class which fills the tank in a real and pleasing way. In addition, he injects our holistic health education classes with fun and unique movement  experiences that incorporate the wisdom of several disciplines that complement the learning and dynamic interactive experience that our clients value so much.

Our Holistic Health classes ("Maintaining Balance and Memory", "Living the Sweet Life with Diabetes and High Blood Pressure", "Rediscovering Joy, Love and Fun: Overcoming Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia", and "Ask the Doc") are what I always wanted to give my patients when I was a primary care doc at Scripps. These classes give people a true opportunity to take health and wellness to higher levels by learning what doctors wish they could teach if they only had more time. Nurse Kim has her own offerings which include: our signature meditation technique Center Point Rest,  "Managing Menopause without Hormones" and "Basic Nutrition for Living Well". We are offering all these Holistic Health classes for FREE in the month of September so the world can see and experience the amazing power of Pando in our beautiful (non-medical feeling) Cedros office. 

Last but not least, we are excited to offer 4 new offerings by great San Diego healers beginning in September. I will share these wonderful opportunities with you tomorrow.

Please come give us a try in September so we can give you a first hand experience of why we are "A Better Way to Feel Better"! Check out our updated website for full details of all of our offerings.

 Be well !!

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...

Placebo

Someone recently asked me in response to my blog as well as to the success of the Liberation Procedure, "Is it just placebo effect"? This is truly a loaded question. After my initial defensive reaction, I gave it deeper thought. Placebo is truly a giant word and concept. It has negative connotations("he is just better because of the placebo effect") but it has immense power and strength. In research studies, experimenters often compare a new treatment with a placebo. In order for the treatment to be accepted, a new therapy has to be better than placebo. In most studies placebo does remarkably well ie 30-40% benefit. So 30-40 per cent of people get better with a sugar pill or an inert substance. This speaks strongly about several points. First, approximately one third of people get better with no intervention with placebo or time or just believing that they will get better. This has enormous power. Harnessing the power of this safe intervention can be amazingly hea...
