    Seven years ago I engaged in an academic battle. A battle against non-cosmetic academics on the topic of cosmetic gynecology. Arrogant, ignorant, pejorative academics. My favorite kind. This presentation is based loosely on that presentation. In my eyes, their position was nonsense. But, as they say, the sheep were scared. Fast forward to the present time and little has changed in some circles, but much has changed in others. The war on ignorance is fought with education and persistence. Here's an excerpt to give you a sense of what's inside: The world’s largest academic society in the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology supports the elective termination of a healthy pregnancy in a healthy woman by the performance of unnecessary surgery upon normal anatomy because according to them it’s her body and her choice. Yet, when that same woman requests a labiaplasty upon her normal anatomy, they suggest that her choice should be questioned, challenged and discouraged.

Dr Pelosi III sat down with this innovative pioneer to learn the story behind the method.   SHOW NOTES Friedberg’s Triad [4:15] is brain, pain, abstain   Goldilocks [5:40] is the analogy that requires explanation.   The EMG [7:00] looks forward.   Propofol [8:00] use is reduced 30 percent.   Ketamine [10:20] was a hard sell.   Benzodiazepenes [10:55] are not well measured by BIS   BIS [12:00] is low maintenance   Cooperation [14:00] of the surgeon is essential.   The myths [16:15] surrounding ketamine.   Awareness [19:30] under general is rare, but real.   Brain fog [21:00] can be permanent rarely.   My free book [22:40] is available via the Goldilocks website.   My superfans [24:00] include Jan Paul Mulier from Brugge, Belgium.   50 consecutive patients [26:30] given opioid-free anesthesia had no nausea and required no opioids afterwards.   A publisher [29:50] asked me to write a textbook on cosmetic surgery anesthesia.   The military [30:20] uses my techniques.   People [32:00] resist change.   Not a single patient [35:25] in over 6000 cases was hospitalized for nausea and vomiting.   My wife and I [37:00] have both gone under this type of anesthesia.   Drug shortages [42:30] might require substitution.   Abstain [44:30] to address the Big Little Problem.   Only 0.6% [46.30] of over 1200 patients had postoperative nausea and vomiting in my 1999 article.   Cosmetic practices [48:30] don’t want to be embarrassed.   The standard rates [49:50] of postoperative nausea and vomiting at the time were 10 to 40%.   How [51:40] do you break the ice?   Dr. Barry Friedberg can be found online at the following links: http://drfriedberg.com/ https://goldilocksfoundation.org/

Support [14:00] is a process of learn, teach, learn more, teach more.   The leadership [16:30] is innovative and internationally trained.   They saw [17:30] that we were helping women.   They wanted [19:00] well-trained doctors and not a bunch of mini societies.   We saw [23:00] cosmetic gynecology as more functional than cosmetic.   Even today [27:00] some countries are seeing cosmetic gynecology for the first time.   Industry [34:00] creates laser users, but not laser experts who understand the physics.   Barcelona [39:00] offered me the opportunity to run a laser unit and play with 21 machines.   Three million [41:00] have left Venezuela in the last 5 years.   The poor [42:30] are literally walking to nearby countries, but they are uneducated and becoming unwelcome.   Nonablative lasers [44:00] have been my research focus for the past 3 years.   In Virginia [48:30] I will be working with CO2 and Erbium lasers, radiofrequency and the magnetic chair.   I plan [50:00] to compare CO2 and Erbium head to head.   Every practice [53:00] should have at least 1 energy based device.

    Barry Komisaruk, PhD, pioneered the study of the brain-body connection in orgasm. He is the world's leading expert in this domain. His work began with animals, progressed to those with spinal cord injuries, and now encompasses women and men of all ages. His unique approach to studying orgasm will...blow your mind!   Listen in as he shares the stories that made him a legend in his field with Dr. Marco Pelosi III.   SHOW NOTES   Neuroscience [5:00] emerged as a field in the 1960s.   There are [6:45] at least 50,000 neuroscientists in the world.   You are known [7:38] as The Orgasm Guy on the basis of things you did in your research.   We were [9:45] studying brain activity in response to vaginal stimulation first in animals.   Vaginal stimulation [11:15] in rats appeared to block pain receptors in the brain, so I had to do a human study.   Surprisingly [13:30] women with complete high spinal cord injuries can feel vaginal stimulation.   Functional MRI [14:45] was the best way to study the brain response in this situation and some women had orgasms.   Nobody [15:30] knows where orgasm occurs in the brain so that led me to study healthy women under MRI.   LEEP [17:00] procedures can cause loss of sensation throughout the body.   I have [20:30] an animal lab and a human lab.   I recruit [23:20] study subjects by word of mouth.   Persistent [26:45] genital arousal disorder is caused by pressure from discs, etc.   Others [27:45] develop genital numbness preceded by a period of hypersensitivity treatable with spinal surgery.   What [29:00] prompted you to write your first book?   To get [33:00] funded by the NIH, I couldn’t use the word vagina.   The media [35:00] has interviewed you extensively.   I grew [36:00] up in the Bronx.   A few [37:00] crystals of estrogen placed in the brain of a rat turned on sexual behavior.   Aside [38:45] from a group in Holland nobody else is doing neurological orgasm brain activity research.   A typical [40:15] MRI session for this study takes two hours.   I have [42:00] two sons both in education.   For more information on Dr. Komisaruk, visit: http://nwkpsych.rutgers.edu/~brk/

    Dr Harry Reich is best known for bringing the laparoscopic hysterectomy into existence. With an innovative mind, gifted skills and observations that ushered in the modern era of surgical thinking, his talents were famous long before his signature achievement. We spent a day covering the twists and turns of the career and experiences of one of the most influential pioneers in the modern history of surgery. A man who’s legacy extends to every operating room and millions of patients all over the world. Not just a first class surgeon. Not just a first class innovator. But a first class human being.   SHOW NOTES   The last thing [4:20] I wanted to be was doctor.   I started [5:40] college as a Lehigh engineer   Six years [10:17] of medical school in Dublin, Ireland and got married.   In 1970 [12:52] I completed a General Surgery internship in Hawaii By luck [14:17] I got into the General Surgery program at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston as a 1-year fill-in.   We wanted [15:47] to stay in Boston and I found an ObGyn residency spot at Boston Hospital for Women.   I trained [16:45] with Robert Kistner, the elite endometriosis surgeon of his day as well as Langdon Parsons who wrote the atlas on cancer with Ufelder.   Endometriosis surgery [17:30] was started with a diagnostic culdoscopy and later laparoscopy followed by a laparotomy.   I pursued [18:50] an informal fellowship in Gyn Oncology in Hershey, Pennsylvania with Rodrigue Mortel close to home.   Fresh adhesions [21:00] could be easily separated from a tubo-ovarian abscess.   In 1976 [24:00] I inherited an infertility clinic with over 100 active patients who had never had a laparoscopy.   Vaginal surgery [27:00] was my primary interest and I was able to send hysterectomies home in 2 days.   I diagnosed [29:00] the infertility patients by laparoscopy and brought them back for laparotomy a few months later.   Around 1977 [31:00] I started doing some adnexal work laparoscopically with bipolar forceps and a monopolar knife   In 1978 [32:00] I started excising endometriosis from the pelvic sidewalls to free the ovaries   In 1980 [34:00] a local hospital accused me of malpractice for doing this type of surgery instead of abdominal hysterectomy for endometriosis.   I started [38:00] running as an escape from medicine and ran my first Boston marathon in 1981.   In Boston [39:00] for these races in 1982 or 1983, I met Bob Hunt at Harvard, who encouraged me to start photodocumenting my surgeries because nobody would believe what I was doing.   In 1984 [40:55] I did liposuction for a brief time after taking a course in Philadelphia.   In the 1970s [41:20] I was doing augmentation mammoplasties, but I lost interest in this.   In 1984 [43:50] the faculty at an IVF course in Wisconsin told me I should forget IVF and start presenting my laparoscopic work at meetings.   In 1985 [45:50] I presented my work on ectopic pregnancy at a small meeting in New York, and my work on tubo-ovarian abscess at ACOG.   Leaving [47:00] a large volume of fluid in the abdomen at closing was my breakthrough to prevent infection.   Meeting [50:15] Maurice Bruhat in Clermont Ferrand while on vacation was interesting. I also met Hubert Mahnes, Arnaud Wattiez, Jean Luc Pouly, and Gérard Mage   I presented [55:00] at the AAGL for the very first time on laparoscopic excision of endometriomas and salpingo-oophorectomy. It was very well received and I met a lot of like-minded individuals   In 1986 [57:30] they had me teach the advanced course at the AAGL meeting and I was the chairman there for over twenty years.   Video [1:01:30] laparoscopy came out in 1986.   I taught [1:06:40] general surgeons how to do laparoscopic cholecystectomies in 1990.   By late 1987 [1:07:20] I was closing holes in the bowel.   The story [1:08:00] of the first laparoscopic hysterectomy involved a group from Tufts University and a light schedule.   I met [1:15:00] Jerry Hulka in 1985. He always encouraged me.   Leila Adamyan [1:18:00] invited me to Russia in 1989 when it was still the Soviet Union and I recruited Jacques Duquesne from Switzerland and Thierry Vancaillie.   As far [1:21:00] as the best laparoscopic surgeons, you can’t go much further than Arnaud Wattiez and Mario Malzoni.   The robot [1:22:00] is like training wheels for surgery.   I retired [1:27:30] from practice in 2005   From 2005 to 2008 [1:30:00] I enjoyed doing adhesion surgeries in the Cayman Islands on a monthly basis and giving training courses in Mexico twice a year.   You [1:34] have three sons.   If you [1:37:00] could operate with anyone past or present, who would you choose?   What advice [1:39:00] would you give to a young Harry Reich?

In fact, it’s impact goes far beyond medicine and has the potential to improve the health and functionality of every human being. This is not and exaggeration. ​He sat down with Dr. Marco Pelosi III to discuss his work.   SHOW NOTES You optimize [2:45] human body for performance without drugs. The Master Switch [6:15] for the immune system has been identified. How [9:18] did you get involved in this science? A biochemist [10:42] and I began working together at the University of Graz 20 years ago. Simple ingredients [12:30] can help the body to heal itself more quickly and effectively. Necessity [13:30] forced us to produce products out of our research. Basic science [15:00] to clinical testing and trials was a 20-year process. I found [20:40] tumor cells could be detected inside macrophages in the bloodstream   They laughed [22:00] when I presented my findings Oxidative stress [22:45] and the recovery of free radicals from vitamins was the next area of breakthrough. Rubbish [24:30] is converted into energy with our molecule. Performance [25:40] levels are enhanced by this process. Over 200 diseases [26:30] will improve with reduction of oxidative stress with one agent. Snake oil [27:50] didn’t have double-blinded placebo-controlled proof of efficacy like this. Treatment [28:50] before and after lung resection surgery for example reduced hospitalization by 1 week vs placebo. In sports [31:30] muscle fatigue and 20% enhanced performance were measured like doping without doping. Treadmill [33:30] testing of parameters was used on elite athletes. Skin responds [36:30] quickly to this agent in cream with rejuvenation effects. In the vagina [39:00] the cream has not been tested, but the ingredients are harmless in any dose even when injected intravenously. They are substances that already exist within the body. Your other [40:20] research shows that we can increase speed and effectiveness of T cells and macrophages with a Vitamin D – protein complex. How [42:13] is this being used in the treatment of autism? Personal unscientific [45:00] shows complete elimination of the common cold in 10 hours. Oral formulations [47:00] are sufficient, but this agent is not stable in liquid so it comes as a powder that is reconstituted. Insurance companies [49:00] view this as experimental and don’t cover this. One dose [52:00] per week should show results in 4 weeks in autism if it’s working for the child. How would [56:30] one obtain and use your products for surgical patients? You started [59:45] a company in Austria. ​ Dubai [1:07:00] entered my world as the result of a conference.
