The World

I was just reading on the internet about CCSVI in other countries: Australia, England, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy. There is a lot happening. The US is way behind. It is very fun to read about the paradigm shift; the opening. It is very real and all around us.

For me as a doctor, I am excited to see a new perspective. I like research and believe in evidence-based medicine. I also have seen the management and approach to many major major illnesses be transformed and re-organized. The management of coronary artery disease(CAD) has changed drastically during my 20 years in medicine. As a result, people live longer and better. Cancer has become a chronic disease in most cases. Only 20 years ago, people suffered much more and lived much shorter. These have not been small changes in treatment but radical revolutions in the way we saw the disease as scientists and the way we approached the diseases as clinicians. Medical science is the backbone of clinical care. Only eighty years ago, there were no antibiotics. Medical advances have occurred in every field. As an internist, my world seemed to change less and slower than the specialty fields as we were more involved in chronic care and geriatrics. Cures and healings only happened to my patients when they were in the hospital or in the more acute settings.

My own personal healing has been different than my experience as a doctor. The Liberation Procedure was very different than the services I provide. I can only relate it to giving a cortisone shot to someone who has been hurting for a month. It provides relief and it does it fast!! There is excitement and fervor. There is a "post-illness" euphoria and re-appreciation of the world and its magic. You can see it in someone's eyes when they first move their arm and realize, the pain is gone. I am experiencing relief on this level. My eyes feel like they are open wide.

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...

Connecting to the World

This is a picture from the Eucalyptus Grove At UCSD -- my dogs' favorite walk. Upon our return from our adventure, I read this from Buddhist psychologist, Rick Hanson. I really resonate with this aspect of connection. Connecting is in 3 directions -- inside with oneself, with others and with the world. When we strengthen one direction, we simultaneously strengthen our general connection. This is guidance to connect more deeply with the world. What makes you feel connected? I'd like to know.   Are we really so separate? The Practice   Love the world. Why?   Your brain evolved in three stages (to simplify a complex process): Reptile - Brainstem, focused on AVOIDING harm Mammal - Limbic system, focused on APPROACHING rewards Primate - Cortex, focused on ATTACHING to "us" With a fun use (to me, at least) of animal themes, the first JOT in this series -  pet the lizard  - was about how to soothe the most ancient structures of the...
