Picture
An article in The Atlantic, "When the Body Attacks the Mind,” raised awareness of autoimmune encephalitis and highlighting the paradigm shift in our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms involved in neurological and psychiatric disease.

Patients as People.

I spoke to a mom with a 17-year-old daughter who has for 10 years suffered with a mysterious neurological illness now thought quite assuredly to be a form of Autoimmune Encephalitis. Sadly, her daughter is now bedridden and spend all her time trapped in her room. Wanting to bring a smile to her child’s face, the mom went outside and made a snow angel for her to see through the window. This poor parent is so tired and overwhelmed by the process of trying to get help for her daughter who really has been mismanaged by our current medical system. So doing anything for her child that might bring even a second or two of joy into her life is at least something this desperate mother could do. It may seem like a simple act. But represents so much more.

Nodding Syndrome on the Spectrum

2/23/2020

It has been said that “every newly emerging disease begins with a mystery,” and yet the cause of Nodding Syndrome (NS) remains elusive after over a decade of searching.
Picture
Nodding Syndrome (NS), originating deep in the remote jungles of East Africa, is a neurological disorder characterized by seizures, cognitive decline, behavioral and language impairment, muscle weakness, physical wasting and stunted growth.  Many thousands of children have been affected by the disease’s devastating impact, resulting in lifelong physical challenges as well as

The integral, neural connection between exercise and brain health.

2/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
We all know that exercise is needed for a multitude of health reasons. But our often-sedentary lifestyles now as compared to years past have clearly taken a toll on our bodies: for the first time in U.S. history, younger generations are expected to live shorter, unhealthier lives than their parents. That’s a statistic that is truly frightening on a number of levels from worrying about the fate of future generations to realizing the impact that more chronic illnesses will have on an overwhelmed healthcare system.

Why do I have MS?

2/17/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
It is estimated that 25 to 50 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases - one million alone have multiple sclerosis (MS). But I have always said that no one just walks in the door and gets MS. So we must look at the root cause of this and any disease to best provide a treatment plan with real benefits.

The Brain in Love…Forever and Always.

2/14/2020

Picture
Helen Fisher is a biological anthropologist who has studied love for decades. She is sometimes referred to as "Dr. Love" and is a leading expert and the most referenced scholar on the science of love and attraction.  In her profound discoveries, she tells us that our human evolution has created brain circuitry wired for romantic love and for deep, profound attachment to another individual. These are the very hallmarks of humanity.
Love is in our DNA.

Tips for Staying Healthy When Traveling.

Picture
We already have on our website information for “how to beat the flu,” but people have been asking what to do when they travel so I wanted to share some additional information here.

I was actually just on a flight this past weekend and noticed quite a bit of coughing and sneezing, which isn’t all that unusual for this time of year. But with so much in the headlines right now about the outbreak of the coronavirus, it’s understandable that people are even more concerned – and scared - about any signs of illness.

So what’s the big deal about 5G?

2/12/2020

Picture
Someone asked me last week what I thought of the “crazy” (their word, not mine) theories about 5G technology. The term 5G refers to the fifth generation of mobile technology with its advertised promises of faster browsing, streaming, and download speeds, as well as better connectivity. Sounds like a good thing…right?

“Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.”
– Thích Nhất Hạnh, a Buddhist monk, author and mindfulness teacher

Picture
Have you given much thought to how we seem to be racing through our days and our lives? Just look at how we spend our time in a quest for immediate gratification, where everything is available at the click of a button. Most of us live with constant stimulation of our senses and resulting stress. We’ve become experts in multitasking, but to what end? The average

Why are we here? What is our greater purpose? And what is the meaning of life? Existential questions such as these are more than captivating, they are considered to be fundamental to the human condition.
