In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) talks with Dr. John Poothullil about his findings on what is actually causing diabetes and what the right cures are. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-john-poothullil   Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. John Poothullil We all inherit a certain amount of fat storage capacity. After a meal, the liver keeps 120 grams of glucose. If you have a high carbohydrate meal, the rest of it is converted into long term storage to fatty acid and to fat, send it to fat cells. If fat cells are full, the fatty acids stay in the blood. Dr. John Poothullil  10:12 So, obesity is a visual thing, it's a cosmetic thing that is should not be a medical concern. For medical consideration, you need to know the fat storage capacity that you inherited. Dr. John Poothullil MD  Every type two diabetic patient should ask the doctor, hey, if I am resistant to insulin, why are you givin   ABOUT DR JOHN POOTHULLIL:  Award-winning author and nationally syndicated health expert, Dr. John Poothullill, practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics. During his medical practice, Dr. John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided him to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes. This led to the publication of Dr. John's first two books, Eat Chew Live; and Diabetes: The Real Cure and The Right Cause. His own diagnosis of cancer inspired him to write. Surviving Cancer and When Your Child Has Cancer. Prompted by the COVID-19 response, he published Your Health Is At Risk, speaking to the vast amounts of disinformation, misinformation, and missing information that is available, especially in regard to lifestyle diseases, and how to discern fact from fiction. This title has won two gold medals in the IPPY and Nautilus Awards in 2023. His sixth publication is available now, The Diabetes-Free Cookbook  Exercise Guide: 80 Utterly Delicious Recipes; 12 Easy Exercises To Keep Your Blood Sugar Low. Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as  Physiology and Behavior , Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews; Journal of Women's Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has been quoted in Woman's Day, Fitness, Red Book, and Woman's World. Dr. Poothullil has been the health consultant for the nationally syndicated AM radio talk show, America's First News, which is broadcast on over 100 stations across the US. He is also a nationally syndicated columnist for the Price of Business Digital Network. Core purpose/passion: Your health is in your hands and is determined by what they put into your body. Reconnect with your authentic weight. Enjoy your food, mindfully chewing each bite, allowing your brain to guide your choices of what to eat and when to stop eating. Grains and grain products should be less than 30% of your diet. Question long-standing medical theories, such as insulin resistance, which has never been proven.

I'm airing Dr. Claudia Miller's presentation on her theory of TILT. Dr. Miller is a Professor, Allergy/Immunology and Environmental Health at the University of Texas. For decades Dr. Miller has championed a new theory of disease to join the germ theory and the immune theory: Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT). TILT explains the mystifying range of symptoms suffered by people with chemical intolerances. It is a two-step process. First, initiation involves acute or chronic exposure to environmental agents such as pesticides, solvents, or indoor air contaminants, followed by triggering of multi-system symptoms by exposure to small quantities of previously tolerated substances such as traffic exhaust, cleaning products, fragrances, foods, drugs, or food-drug combinations. Dr. Miller gave me permission to air her presentation where she further explains it along with her research and findings.

What is the impact of illness or infection on a patient with mitochondrial disease? Patients, parents, and healthcare providers with firsthand experience of mitochondrial disease have probably experienced the consequences of an illness or infection. Illnesses and infections have a more dramatic and prolonged impact on children and adults who suffer from mitochondrial disorders, often causing long periods of fatigue, regression in developmental milestones, skills or baseline function, and exacerbation or complaints of additional (unrelated) symptoms during and after the period of illness. In addition, some physicians and families notice an increased susceptibility to illness for patients with mitochondrial disease. However, there is limited published data on systematic analysis of immune system in patients with mitochondrial disease. Research focusing on the relationship between immune function and the mitochondria has been mostly limited to cell-based studies. Join us to listen, learn and discuss the recent research and publication from an interdisciplinary collaboration between clinical investigators, Dr. Melissa Walker (Neurology), Katherine Sims (Metabolic Diseases) and Jolan Walter (Pediatric Immunology) at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA. These clinicians sought to determine how often infection and illness (including a systemic inflammatory response) occurred in patients with well-defined mitochondrial disease and immunodeficiency. A subset of their mitochondrial patients with evidence of immune abnormaliites repsponded well to immunoglobulin replacement therapy with less infections, preserved developmental milestones and improved quality of life. About the Speaker Dr. Katherine Sims is a Pediatric Neurologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Her clinical work over the last 30 years has focused on the broad scope of neurogenetic disorders including those of the lysosome, particularly neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [Batten disease, NCL disorders], Fabry disease, Norrie disease, general neurometabolic disorders and, most recently, the primary mitochondrial energy metabolism disorders Over the last 15 years, Dr. Sims, working as clinician scientist, has directed the design and development of Patient Registries and BioRepositories for Mitochondrial, NCL and Norrie diseases. She is an expert diagnostician and works with great facility in identifying clinical cases and facilitating entry into appropriate clinical translational studies. Jolan E. Walter, MD, PhD is the Director of Pediatric Immunodeficiency Program at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children. Dr. Walter’s clinical care focuses on patients with immune deficiency. She jointly follows patients with mitochondrial disease and immune dysfunction with the Neurogenetics Program (Dr Kathy Sims, Dr Amel Karaa and Dr Melissa Walker). She also conducts translational research on autoimmune manifestation of primary immunodeficiencies. Dr. Walter has graduated with a MD and PhD from University of Pecs, Hungary. Dr. Walter is has trained in Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, Eastern Virginia Medical School and in Allergy/Immunology at Boston Children’s Hospital. During her training, she conducted research both in the field of Virology and Immunology. Melissa A. Walker, MD, PhD is a fourth year trainee in the Massachusetts General Hospital Child Neurology Residency ProgramDr. Walker’s clinical and scientific interests focus on improving the understanding and treatment of primary mitochondrial disorders. Dr. Walker received her MD and PhD degrees from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, New York. She train

https://libertylinks.io/biohackingsecrets  John Poothullill practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he did two years of medical residency in Washington, DC and Phoenix, AZ and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.   During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes.   Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women's Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has been quoted in Woman's Day, Fitness, Red Book and Woman's World.   - Learn more about our one-on-one Biohacker Coaching program www.BiohackerCoaching.com   - Grab your free copy of The Biohacker's Guide to Upgraded Energy and Focus (just help with s/h) https://biohackersguide.com/free-guide   - Subscribe to our free email newsletter www.biohackersguide.com/energycrash    - Subscribe to The Biohacking Secrets Show podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biohacking-secrets-show/id1139825099   Join Our Uncensored Telegram Channel for VIP Biohacking Content You Can't Get On Social Media https://t.me/joinchat/GFCs4ezgCQ4vHi3S

The short answer is no. But if you have a child with a food allergy you will know how stressful it can be for you and your family. Even while awareness of allergies is much higher in schools and the community, you are always looking out for a possible allergen. Allergic reactions to peanuts range from the mild (puffy eyes, vomiting) to the severe (trouble breathing) but Professor Mimi Tang, Group Leader of Allergy Immunology at Murdoch Children's Research Institute says that any kind of reaction has a significant impact on a child's lifestyle. Mimi's latest study has shown how oral immunotherapy while not a cure might be the solution that parents are looking for. Mimi is joined by Kate Lawlor, whose son Declan is now in remission for his peanut allergy. For more information on the study check out the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Episode of The GRID, host Chris Kuhlmann examines the Barrington Declaration, a document published by numerous highly educated, highly experienced doctors and scientists that spells out a public strategy for managing the pandemic and the nation back to recovery from COVID-19; comparing the credentialed leadership offered in the declaration to the leadership and credentials of Dr. Anthony Fauci.   CREDITS Host: Chris Kuhlmann Written by: Chris Kuhlmann Produced by: Shaun Griffin Music composed by JD Kuhlmann Art: Shaun Griffin Sound: Chris Kuhlmann and Shaun Griffin Sponsor: Score and Splice, JD Kuhlmann ScoreandSplice@gmail.com Visit us at www.kingdompatriot.us and check out our Vision Video   SHOW NOTES - Fauci and the Barrington Declaration www.gbdeclaration.org   As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.   Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.   Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.   Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.   As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.   The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.   Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.   Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.   By the way, those are not my thoughts, those are the thoughts of the Great Barrington Declaration. It was signed at American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Authored by 3 physicians and co-signed by 43 individuals worldwide. While many pulling the puppet strings would have you believe that medicine and science are 100% unified in the approach the US has taken, that is far from the truth.   I'm not talking about mere intellectual lightweights either. Here's the quick bios on the 3 authors:   Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.   Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.   Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.   What about the co-signers? Again, 43 cosigners from 9 countries?   Canada 2 England 11 Germany 6 India 1 Israel 5 New Zealand 2 Scotland 4 Sweden 2 US 10   43     What about their expertise, surely these couldn't hold a candle to Dr. Fauci, the Allergy & Immunology expert? Wrong again.   Professor of Genetics 1 Pediatrics 1 Clinical Ethics 1 Vaccine development 1 Hypertension Researcher 1 Mathematician 1 Education & Prevention 1 Hygiene & Environmental Medicine 1 Informatics 1 Biomedical Data Science 1 Malaria Researcher 1 Cellular Biology 1 Biophysicist 1 Structural Biology 1 Human Geography 1 Genomics 1 Medical Statistics 1 Autism Provider 1 Virology 1 Finance 1 Oncologist 2 Statistical Modelling 2 Biomedical Consultant 2 Infectious Disease Expert 3 Biostatistics 3 Microbiology 4 Public Health/Policy 4 Research/Scientist 4 Immunology 5 Medical Psychology/Psychiatry 6 Physician 10 Professor or Assoc. Prof of Medicine 10 Epidemiology 11     It's about time a group of physicians and experts unified to present common sense recommendations.   So what do you think? Does the Great Barrington Declaration deserve consideration given than 43 docs from 9 countries with expertise in 33 different areas have signed onto it?   Do you think it holds merit in the COVID world we live in?   Oh, I just realized, I forgot to read the very last line of the declaration. Silly me.   Here's what it says: On October 4, 2020, this declaration was authored and signed in Great Barrington, United States. You might have guessed this anyway because of the reference to vaccine development.   That's right, this wasn't written last week, it was written in the early fall of 2020, more than 16 months ago. Yet the principles in it are as applicable today as they were then.   Clearly, this group is pro-vaccine and still they are against general universal lockdown policies. These aren't the pundits on CNN or MSNBC or the NY Times, these are disease experts, physicians, professors, scientists, and researchers that have dedicated their lives to this type of work.   Here we are in 2022 and the information we continue to learn through court cases, FOIA requests, emails, etc., is that what has and is going on behind the scenes is more dark and sinister than we would like to believe. That's not really the subject of this podcast. I don't even have time to go into the latest news that it's likely American funds were used in part to create the COVID19 virus.   The reason we are even talking about this is because states, particularly blue states are doubling down on their lockdown policies. California, NY, vaccine passports and the ability to even move around to and fro as an American is being limited. This just cannot be. There's a reason that these states are losing congressional seats as large numbers of families are retreating to Florida, Texas and other states that have a more pro-freedom outlook on current state.   However, I digress. I think it is imperative anytime we do a podcast to also look at the biblical perspective when possible?   What has the Lord called us to do? Well certainly he has called us to seek him with all of our hearts? The challenge is that Leaders who are making public policy are often not like-minded in faith.   Did you know that Fauci just received the Humanist of the Year Award? That's right, the American Humanist Association just awarded him October 2021 with the Humanist of the Year Award for 2021 and I quote “Dr. Fauci embodies humanist values, including his steadfast commitment to science, his demonstrated empathy and compassion for others and his overall direct approach,” AHA Executive Director Roy Speckhardt told Religion News Service in an interview. “He has demonstrated how powerful science and human values can be in saving lives over the past year. If there was ever an appropriate humanist of the year, he is it.”   In 2003, Dr. Fauci said that “I look upon myself as a humanist. I have faith in the goodness of mankind.”   And that's why we should be worried, because the mankind he speaks of, the leaders in our government, those who pull the strings of policy and regulations have shown to be ever void of a belief in Christ and scripture.   What does the bible say about the goodness of mankind? Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”   This is a major construct of the difference view-points of mankind. One reason that we cannot rely on the “goodness” of mankind is that goodness is defined by the individual, right and wrong have become so morally relative that literally it changes with the election of every new leader.   This is why we need Christ. I'm pro-freedom, pro-democracy, and I'm not pro or anti vaccine. But when the leaders are desperately void of Christ it is impossible for Jeremiah 17:9 to not apply. Our hope is in Christ, we desperately need him because of our wicked hearts.   So our faith has to be in Christ and not the government, not the great Barrington Declaration. I believe in the declaration, subscribe to it's philosophy, but my hope is found in Christ.   Folks, we need Jesus more than ever. I'm not talking about we need Jesus to come and deliver us, that's a given. I'm talking that Fauci, our government, myself, all of us need Jesus because of our wicked hearts.   I'm also going to do something that I've never done before on this podcast. I'm going to pray for our key leaders, specifically, President Biden, VP Harris, and Anthony Fauci.   Lord, we are all desperately wicked because our hearts are inclined to selfishness, sinfulness, and self-preservation. It's not just true of our leaders, it's true of the human condition. Yet today, let us walk humbly as we lift up our leaders. We pray Father, that you would move on the hearts of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Dr. Anthony Fauci. We ask that you move on their hearts not to deliver us or produce an outcome that we desire, but we ask that you move on their hearts for two reasons 1) That they might become children of God and inherit your kingdom, that they would know your grace, your mercy, and that you would do a mighty work on their hearts to your glory. 2) We pray you would give them the supernatural Christ influenced wisdom to lead this nation in a way that glorifies you. To lead in a way that points to Christ in everything, that they would become ambassadors for you willingly or not. We pray this in the name of Jesus.

FAT STORAGE CAPACITY AND DIABETES CONTROLLING BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS GRAINS NOT MEANT FOR HUMANS ARE WHOLE GRAINS BETTER? TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH ADA RECOMMENDATIONS SUGAR AND DIABETES CGM AND FOOD RESPONSES SYMPTOM TURNED INTO A DISEASE QUESTIONING SCIENCE & MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS CONDITIONED TO EAT STEPS TO REVERSE DIABETES NEW BOOK YOUR HEALTH IS BEING SABOTAGED Dr. Poothullil practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he completed two years of medical residency in Washington, D.C., and Phoenix, Arizona and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics. During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent several years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and developed the fatty acid burn theory as the real cause of diabetes. He then continued researching the linkage between diabetes and cancer and developed additional insights into the causes of childhood and adult cancer and possible treatments involving low-carbohydrate diets to initiate starving of cancer cells by removing their main source of energy — glucose from grains.  Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women's Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has also been quoted in Woman's Day, Fitness, Red Book and Woman's World. His articles on diabetes have been published in Alternative Medicine, Whole Person, India Abroad, and several other magazines. Dr. Poothullil has published four books, two of which have won publishing awards in national book competitions.

After a long 18 months of living through a pandemic, vaccines have paved a way forward to a new normal – Just 6 weeks ago, the Pfizer vaccine received emergency use authorization for adolescents down to age 12; and here at Children's Colorado, we are a Pfizer vaccine trial site for kids ages 5-11. As more of our pediatric patients become eligible for the vaccine, primary care providers will be considering how to safely vaccinate patients with a risk of allergic reaction. In this episode, we will talk about the incidence, suspected epidemiology and current policy related to allergic reactions to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and steps for avoiding potential adverse reactions. Today's guest is Dr. Matt Greenhawt, Director of the Food Challenge and Research Unit at Children's Hospital Colorado and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Section of Allergy & Immunology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Do you have thoughts about today's episode or suggestions for a future topic?

Upon his return from deployment, SFC (retired) Patrick Skluzacek said the nightmares started. “I was scared of closing my eyes.. “I'd wake up thrashing and sweating and the Veterans Affairs didn't have a cure for it. They just had people with nightmares, people killing themselves, and they didn't understand why." Tyler Skluzacek, Patrick’s, the 27-year-old son told CNN, “I was just 13 when he came back from Iraq, but I knew he was a completely different person. He used to be so active and happy. After the war, he was just depressed, lethargic, irritable, and the worst part is he wasn't sleeping. It was hard seeing my Dad like that."

Richard Bucala, MD is the Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Medicine, Professor of Pathology, Epidemiology & Public Health, and Chief of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology at Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Bucala completed his Medical school at Weill Cornell and Residency at Brigham & Women's Hospital. He pursued a Fellowship in Rheumatology from the Hospital for Special Surgery. He studies the mechanisms by which protective immune responses lead to immunopathology and his lab is leading multidisciplinary efforts to develop immunotherapies. Dr. Bucala also is credited with the discovery of the fibrocyte, which is being targeted therapeutically in different fibrosing disorders. He is a co-founder of Cytokine Networks and of MIFCOR, a biotechnology startup. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Arthritis & Rheumatology and has served on numerous advisory boards for the NIH, the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and private foundations. The buzzword usually is ‘goals': We are often asked - what are your goals? Often told to dream big and make lofty goals. Not much is said about the path we should follow to achieve our goals. Today, Dr. Richard Bucala reflects on his journey and shares how the path is more valuable than the end point. Medicine is a long educational path, but if pursued with honesty, integrity and diligence, forms us into the person we aspire to become. Focusing on these virtues while traversing this path helps us develop our professional character and ultimately determines our professional success in the long term. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. The path is more valuable than the goal. The way we achieve our goals – with honesty, integrity, ad character – is more important for the long-term, than short-term successes. 2. Honesty is knowing one's limitations; : realizing that no one person has all the answers, gives us the humility to be a great team player. But even more important than honesty is courage. Without courage, we cannot be honest. 3. Embrace the complexity and multidimensionality of medicine. It's what makes medicine so gratifying.

In Episode 17 of Dr. Dave On Call, I discuss my experience in the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trial. This episode has been a culmination of about 2 months of my observations while participating as a research subject in the Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine trial. The trail is named the COVE Study, it's an acronym for Coronavirus Efficacy and Safety Study, and the name implies protection from COVID-19, as a "cove" can be thought of a sheltered inlet. The goal of the COVID-19 vaccine study is to understand if the mRNA-1273 study vaccine can prevent COVID-19 (efficacy) and if the study vaccine is safe. In general, the purpose of vaccines are prepare our immune system to fight infection and prevent illness. Following an effective vaccine, our immune system will produce antibodies (special proteins) that will recognize and other pathogens and make them harmless to our bodies. About 30,000 people in the Unites States will take part in this study at about 80-100 research sites. The particular research site that I am enrolled in is at The University of Illinois Health System, Division of Infectious Diseases coordinating by Project WISH. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Richard Novak, Chair of Infectious Diseases at the University of Illinois Health system. He has dedicated his entire professional career at research treatments for emerging infectious diseases. I would really encourage you to listen to Episode 14 of Dr. Dave On Call, where we discuss the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine trial in greater depth with Dr. Novak. I participated in this trial for a variety of reasons. First, I felt that I would be an ideal candidate to study the effectiveness of a COVID-19 vaccine. I am a minority, health worker with 2 children who are currently receiving in-person learning, therefore I am potentially exposed to COVID-19 more frequently. I believe that my contribution of scientific data would help answer key questions about this vaccine on a larger public health scale. As an Allergy-Immunology specialist, I have a unique understanding of vaccines and this trial would be an educational experience for myself. Further, I had a tremendous example in my mother, who participated in many experimental trials while she was being treated for acute leukemia, knowing that she was contributing for the greater knowledge of medical science. Participation in the study is a big commitment; 6 in-person visits, 25 safety telephone calls, app surveys over a period of 25 months. Also, if a subject is diagnosed with COVID-19 there are extra visits associated with it as well. After completing the screening process, we scheduled my first appointment for September 3, 2020. I reviewed the 24 page consent form, had a few additional questions about the potential side effects and signed the consent form and was officially enrolled. The 1st visit was intense and long, over 3 hrs filled with medical examinations, blood draws, etc. Finally, I was assigned a unique patient number and the COVID-19 vaccine was delivered for injection. This study is a Double-Blind Placebo Controlled trial; both the subjects and researchers do NOT know if a placebo vaccine (saline) or the experimental vaccine is given to the research subjects. Further, it's a random assignment, a flip of a coin to determine if the placebo or experimental is given. I received my first injection on September 3, 2020 and was confident during the first few days, I received the experimental vaccine. I had some of the common symptoms (headache, fatigue, injection site pain) that were listed in the consent form. They resolved with supportive care. However, at Day 9, I developed unusual gentito-urinary symptoms that were extremely painful and concerning. These symptoms progressively worsened throughout the next 10 days that necessitated a visit to a Urological specialist, who diagnosed me acute non-bacterial prostatitis. After discussing with the research team, Dr. Novak and my urologist, we had thought my...

If you are the parent of a child with cancer, the overwhelming multitude of questions, feelings, and associated anxieties are hard to contain. What caused cancer? What can you as, a parent, do to help your child live through it? What is the future for your child? John Poothullil, MD, FRCP, practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics. Dr. John’s latest book, “When Your Child Has Cancer,” is an insightful and thoughtful look at hope, advice, and solace. He expertly guides you to understand childhood cancer. He starts with his two new scientific theories to explain how the leading types of childhood cancers might occur, given that children have not lived long enough to develop the number of gene mutations that usually cause adult cancers. You will learn how you, as parents, can care for your child with cancer with understanding and sensitivity, creating a loving home environment full of communal activities to reduce everyone’s stress and worry. Most importantly, Dr. John explains why your child’s diet can be a crucial corollary element in controlling cancer and medical treatments. You will learn how a diet low in grains and grain-flour products slows cancer cell growth, giving your child’s immune system a better chance to contain it. Join Dr. John Poothullil and me on Tuesday, September 8, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about his remarkable life’s journey, and three superbly illustrated short stories from his latest book, “When Your Child Has Cancer.”

Dr. Onyinye Iweala is a professor of medicine in the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine whose expertise lies in environmental allergies, including allergic rhinitis, chronic hives, and food allergies. She joins the show to talk about a number of interesting topics, such as: What factors might be causing or contributing to a food allergy epidemic in developed countries The relationship between microbiota and food allergy, allergic rhinitis, and chronic sinusitis Hypotheses as to why some food allergies can be outgrown by a certain percentage of those affected, and why others cannot How the new and only FDA-approved treatment for food allergy works What happens physiologically during an alpha-gal allergy As a junior in college, Dr. Iweala took her first basic immunology class and pretty much knew that that was the path she wanted to pursue as a doctor. Not only did she find it complicated and fascinating, but also very relevant to human health. In recent years, food allergy has been on the rise, particularly in industrial countries like the U.S. This has caused concern for many people, especially since there has only very recently been a food allergy treatment on the market. Dr. Iweala discusses how this new drug functions in the body, and how it is based on the principles of oral immunotherapy.  She also explains the standard understanding of IgE-mediated allergy responses, and how a non IgE-mediated allergy response prompted by an alpha-gal allergy is unique and challenging to detect. She touches on a number of other interesting subjects, such as how multiple food allergies in a single person might be treated, the goal of recent and ongoing studies in the field, and much more.

Host Tessnim Ahmad (MS4) discusses the health and health-system impacts of climate change with Dr. Katherine Gundling, Clinical Professor Emerita and former practice chief for the Allergy/Immunology faculty practice; Dr. Seema Gandhi, Associate Clinical Professor in the department of anesthesia; and MS3s Colin Baylen and Nuzhat Islam, who helped found the Human Health and Climate Change student group.

John M. Poothullil, MD, FRCP, practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he completed two years of medical residency in Washington, D.C., and Phoenix, Arizona and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions.This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent several years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and developed the fatty acid burn theory as the real cause of diabetes.He continued researching the linkage between diabetes and cancer, and developed additional insights into the causes of childhood and adult cancer and possible treatments involving low-carbohydrate diets to initiate starving of cancer cells by removing their main source of energy – glucose from grains.Dr. Poothullil has published three books since 2015, two of which have won publishing awards in national book competitions.• Eat Chew Live: 4 Revolutionary Ideas to Prevent Diabetes, Lose Weight & Enjoy Food (Over & Above Creative, 2015) – Winner, Beverly Hills Book Awards, Nutrition Category 2016• Diabetes: The REAL Cause & The RIGHT Cure: 8 Steps to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes in 8 Weeks (New Insights Press, 2017) – Finalist, Beverly Hills Books Awards, Diet & Nutrition Category 2017• Surviving Cancer: A New Perspective on Why Cancer Happens & Your Key Strategies for a Healthy Life (New Insights Press, 2017)Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women’s Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has also been quoted in Woman’s Day, Fitness, Redbook and Woman’s World. Dr. Poothullil is an active speaker on diabetes and cancer. He has appeared on television shows, been interviewed on over 60 radio programs, and given numerous talks to groups in bookstores and private settings.

Founder of drberrypierre.com as well as Pierre Medical consulting. Helping you empower yourself with better health with the number one podcast for patient advocacy. And this week we bring you a special one. We have Dr. Angela Fadahunsi who is an allergy and immunology specialist, who's going to be schooling us and educating the lifeline community on allergies, on sinuses. What are some common things we can use to kind of treat our allergies and how a lot of us may be using a very common product wrong. I know at least I was. Before we begin the show I want to talk a little bit about her so you can kind of know exactly how credible this person is because again at Lunch and Learn community I want to bring you known, specialized guests who know what they're talking about. And you know this one's no different. She earned her medical degree from the University of Texas. She completed her internal medicine residency as well as her specialty in allergy-immunology fellowship at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Dr. Angela combines knowledge with compassion. And she is proud to offer allergy and as not really for her patients. She knows firsthand how it feels to have allergies to keep you up from enjoying the beautiful world around you. And as a result, has become an empathetic doctor who always takes time to listen to your needs and of course for a lot of my allergy suffer especially in Lunch and Learn community. This is actually a topic that we've been really wanting to get on this show for a while. This is a very common reason why patients walk into the hospital as the very reason why patients walk into a doctor's offices. Actually one the more requested topics from the Lunch and Learn community that I wanted to get on. And you know I didn't feel like I would do it as much justice if I didn't have you know someone specialized to come and talk in school as a little bit about our allergies and our sinus problems and you know what we can actually do about it so you know sit back like always if you had not had a chance. Make sure you subscribe to our podcast. Make sure you leave me a 5-star review. Leave Dr. Angela 5 star review. Let Dr. Angela how was she's doing. And you guys have a great and blessed day. Episode Dr. Berry: So alright Lunch and Learn community. Yes, you heard and that a great introduction from a guest who honestly I've actually been kind of looking for. For those who have been following with the lunch line community, I've been looking for an allergist for quite some time just to kind of talk about, you know, allergies and sinuses and everything, what not. And of course, you know, I was, like I said before, I know a little bit about a lot, but I always, whenever I can try to get an expert on to kind of talk to educate us, I hear and that's what I have today. Right? So again, Dr. Angela, thank you for coming onto the show. (Thank you). during your residence? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Yeah, so I am, honestly, you know, allergy is, it's such a small field when you think of a lot of the other subspecialties and so it's not very well known. I wasn't aware that the field even existed until I was in college. And so that, at that point, I was already pre-med, knew that I wanted to be a physician, wasn't sure exactly which route I was going to go once I got into medical school and then in a residency thereafter. But it was pretty much a personal experience. The primary care doctor that I was seeing referred me to an hour just during my college years and I was like, oh, this is pretty cool. You know, I've been suffering from allergies all of my life. You know, as long as I can remember from childhood and just never had a name for what it was. Just thought that was just, you know sinuses as we call it, but didn't realize that there were things that you can actually do about it, the ways to investigate it. And so when I started seeing an allergist and then subsequently being treated realized, wow, this is awesome. You know, what capabilities we have available as allergist can be really life changing as far as the quality of life day to day for people in the symptoms that they suffer with. So that's what drew me to it, learning about it through personal experience and then also really seeing the benefits of the care of an allergy specialist. Dr. Berry: That's very interesting because I always wonder. Like what was it like where were you? Did you have a lot of algae is kind of growing up. And then especially as what I find when I was taking care of patients to outpatient, you know, they'd come to me, it has some issues, you know, upper respiratory infection come back and they would just keep coming back. And forth and then finally I have to say like, Hey, I think you need, I don't think this is just a regular infection because you shouldn't be having this. Over and over again, like do you tend to find yourself getting a lot of those types of patients where you know they've been through the ringer, they had the antibiotics, they've seen urgent care and nothing kind of seems to happen? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Yes, yes. I mean that's most of what I see when it comes to what we call allergic rhinitis or high fever seasonal allergies, whatever label we want to give it as people that have been dealing with these symptoms for years and really are kind of at their with end of like, okay, what is going on and what can be done about it. For me, the first time I remember inexperience of now identifying that I was allergic was in elementary school. We had a field trip to our state capital and baton rouge, and there's this really pretty he'll that comes, that rolls down the front of the state capitol and we were in maybe second first or second grade I can recall. And everybody thought, oh, it'll be fine. It's a roll down the hill together. So we did and I got up itching, sneezing, watery eyes, you know, redness, all of that stuff. And again, never understood exactly what that was and why the other kids didn't feel the way that I did. And then the same thing, just, you know, seasonal allergies all the time, every year. It was always the same thing for me. And so yeah, most of the people that I see have similar stories where they've been suffering for a long time and just kind of, you know, stuck and don't know what else to do and, and where to turn. Dr. Berry: It was very interesting. I was definitely the same way where I, you know, I didn't, I wasn't a kid who played in the grass. I wasn't a kid who liked to, I would get short of breath. I'd get a lot of wells and all of these things as I was like the kid like I want it to be cleaned the whole time. Dr. Angela Fadahunsi: That's how kids are, you know, they don't have a name for it, but they know that it doesn't make them feel good. And so they just naturally start to avoid and adults too, naturally start to avoid the things that are triggers, you know, because even though they don't really understand that it's necessarily a trigger. I know when I playing grass or when I'm running around outside, I don't feel well, so I'm just not going to do that. So yeah, that's, that's where we come in and we can, you know, do our best to try to get to the root of what's going on and provide answers about how to do deal with it. Dr. Berry: So for the Lunch and Learn community, they love to hear numbers, right? Because a lot of times I don't think they can grasp how serious, you know, every disorder, every disease we tend to talk is on his podcast. Right. So I want, I want to just give you some Lunch and Learn community so you can understand how important that we really should be thinking about allergies and we'll talk about as far as like, because I feel as a subspecialists, a lot of times they get cases and maybe a little later than they should. I'm just at this, I said it was my person with that. I never know. So from an allergy standpoint, right? Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. They cost about 18 being a year and we're in their 50 million Americans suffer from allergies every year. Right. Just so you guys can get an idea of like how important her field is to just health and just wellness in general. There's, a very interesting, I was almost shocked by it and everything. Yeah. Wow. Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Very, very prevalent. Very calm. Absolutely. Dr. Berry: Now are you, especially in your field, like is there some allergies that you find are the worse than others that are more common than others like that as you're practicing? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi As far as more common, I'll start with that first. So certainly, you know, springtime and fall seem to be the seasons that people, in general, suffer more, at least in my experience. And those seasons tend to be more common as far as, you know, people complaining of symptoms go fall, you know, being ragweeds spring being, tree pollens, which is, you know, most of the suite of different types of tree pollens, grass pollens, etc. During those seasons. Jumping back to one particular or a certain group being worse than others, it's a really subjective answer for that because everybody's different of course, you know, and so some people it's, you know, just a little bit of over the counter discern thing or clear thing or whatever does the trick in there fine. But some people can have, another person could have the exact same allergies are sensitivities and they're miserable. You know, they've got asthma related to it as well and so their symptoms are now being, you know? The triggers rather are now exacerbating their chronic asthma issue. So it's, there's not necessarily one particular thing that's worse. It's really just about the quality of life that that particular person has, you know when dealing with whatever their particular allergies are. Dr. Berry: Okay. So we don't get a person, right? Cause I got, Lunch and Learn community, I'm going to talk about myself a little bit. I need to talk about the sciences. Right? And I'll get my little backstory. Like I'm from South Florida and I went to school from the house to North Florida. When I was in South Florida, I didn't have any issues. I was fine. No watery eyes, no stuffy nose method. When I went to school at Florida State, all of a sudden, summertime, springtime comes around you. I would just be watery eyes tearing up uncontrolled were nothing to do at nothing had. Stuffy nose. I was absolutely right, I don't know what it was up there at Tallahassee net area that like cause all these problems. But I got to know like what are we doing for sinus right? Let's talk about sinuses in general because I like I'm biased but I feel like is there demographic is known everywhere. (Yeah). I have friends who follow me on Twitter and you know like literally every Monday like we'll say like, hey, how are you doing? How's your sinuses? Like how’s, did you make the weekend? Like that's like a running joke. But that's because it's just, it's not, we don't look forward to. Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Yes. So of course over the counter treatments is where everybody starts and that's what we recommend as well. So Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, whatever your preferences. I usually encourage people to not do Benadryl just because of the sedating effect of it. And it usually is not as long-lasting. Whereas the other ones you can take once or twice a day and you know, be covered as far as your symptoms are concerned. From there, if that's still not giving you a resolution of your symptoms or you know, improving, you know your symptoms. Then the next step is the nose sprays and nobody really likes the nasal sprays. (I tried to get my patients to do that). Yeah. But you know, it actually works better than the allergy pills or, you know, any histamines do. It covers as far as the symptoms that you're experiencing and especially the congestion that a lot of people suffer from the allergy pills themselves or any histamines rather don't have any effect on that. They're mainly for the sneezing and you know, a little bit of what we call the rhinorrhea. So the runny nose, but when you're thinking of the congestion, that's where your nose spray comes in. And what I find with a lot of people is they're not using it correctly and so they are using are not getting the benefit of it and you've got to use it for at least two to four weeks consistently to really get optimal benefits. So there's a couple of things that go into play as far as getting, you know, what she can or the best relief from the nose spray. So I always make sure that I educate people when I'm starting them on a nose spray or when I'm seeing them for the first time about the proper administration techniques so that they're getting what they, you know, getting what you paid for, basically, not kind of wasting, you're wasting your money and wasting your time by doing it. Now, once you've done those two things, if you're still not having, you know, benefit or relief than us, the point where you need to see a specialist, you know. Whether it's your primary care doctor, discussing with them what your options are and then from there they can determine, you know, okay, well let's go ahead and send you to an hour. Just are coming straight to an allergy specialist as you know, of course, an option as well. So that is the gist of sort of where we start. And then, you know, the other thing too is with what we offer as far as medications, we're just treating the symptoms, right? We're not dealing with the root cause. And that's where the allergy specialist can come in. As far as identifying what exactly is it that you are sensitive to that's causing you to have the watery, itchy eyes, the sneezing, the runny nose, the congestion, postnasal drip, whatever your symptoms are, and finding those triggers and then educating you about what your options are to deal specifically with those triggers instead of just medicating the symptoms. Dr. Berry: Now I know, especially from the trigger standpoint, like I tend to think, I want to educate my patient. I'd be like, I always think about like, you know the trees, which is such a bland term because what does that even really mean? I fell, you know the trees and pets. Right as well. Those are always my two biggest things. But are there other common triggers that you've seen that some people like tend to neglect? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Those are, those are pretty common ones. Another one that especially for people that suffer year round, so you know there's certainly people that are just springtime, just fall time, you know, just some or whatever the season may be. But then there are people that have triggers are symptoms year round and one thing that we always consider of course is pets, you have a dog, do you have a cattery exposed to a dog or cat on a regular basis and is that causing your symptoms. But then dust mite is another common, but we call perennial or year-round allergy and that kind, it varies depending on where you are in the United States. But in general, like there's, I shouldn't say any amount of humidity but a decent amount of humidity, then you're going to be exposed to dust mites and where dust mites accumulate the most as far as our exposure levels on a day to day basis is in our bedding. So your pillow and your mattress. And so when we can identify dust mite as a trigger, as a sensitivity or allergy for a particular patient, then we can counsel them on ways that they can minimize that exposure. And that's where you get your dust mite proof covers for your pillow and your mattress and bedding. Washing your sheets once a week and hot water your linens and hot water to try to minimize that risk or exposure rather on a day to day basis. So that's one that doesn't always come up, but it's very prevalent. And then like you said, you know that right on the head with, you know, the trees, of course, being a big one for people that have spring allergies. And like I mentioned before, fall, ragweed is pretty common in a lot of places in the United States as well. Dr. Berry: I know here in South Florida we tend to deal with it, not necessarily trees but more like an environmental issue because they burn sugar cane during times of the year and we see a lot of the quote-unquote allergy, which again I think allergy is such a basket term. I think a lot of people call it everything allergies, you know. So I never really know allergies, it was like I don't, I never really know. But like the burning of sugar cane tends to call it a lot of quote-unquote flare-ups of allergies and some environmental issues as well. Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Yeah. So yeah, it could certainly be, but then also of course when you, you know, smoke exposure or just things in the environment, chemical substances or things about nature, irritation as well can cause similar symptoms. So but hard to say for sure. But yeah, definitely a consideration. Dr. Berry: Now pictures in it because I know we've talked about allergy immunology, but like asthma, especially in your practice is big, I guess component of it. Like how much in relation to just allergies in general? Like does asthma play a role or is that more from the immunology standpoint from your training? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Now, so it's all linked together so people that have allergies are at risk for development of asthma. There's actually something that we call the Eight Topic March with Children. So kids can start off with Eczema. So you know the dry, itchy skin, irritated skin, and then that can progress to allergic rhinitis. So all of the nasal symptoms that we were just discussing. And then from there, it can progress to asthma. So the respiratory issues, the coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and the link between all of that is whenever you have asthma, especially if you do have an allergic component, are allergic asthma as we call it. Knowing your triggers is very important because it's going to help you identify and your allergist or your primary care doctor identify what seasons to be extra mindful of, you know, keeping a close eye on you. If you've got a ton of tree allergies then when springtime comes before springtime comes, I need to make sure that you're good and you're well controlled because we know that those tree pollens are common and those triggers, those allergens on top of your asthma history puts you at risk for what we call an exacerbation. So worsening of your asthma symptoms or you know, or poor control of asthma symptoms leading to hospitalizations, urgent care visits, ER visits, steroid bursts. So yeah definitely a huge shift as sleep, links excuse me, from especially in the pediatric side but also on the adult side as well. It's fair, very common for the two to kind of go hand in hand a lot of times. Dr. Berry: Yeah. Before, because I definitely want to delve into just you know your business quote unquote. I know you talked to, initially about how a lot of people are using these, the nasal inhalers wrong? Like how, how do you use that wrong? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi: Yes. The proper way to use flu nasal, coordinate, that's what I'm referring to when I say nasal sprays is to, when you stick the nozzle and or are the, you know the tip into your nose and you actually want to angle your head down so I always tell people nose to toes, so hap head down a little bit. And then when you stick that nozzle and or that tip, you should angle it towards the outer corner of your eye. So angle it out on both sides whenever you in. (Ok). And what I noticed is a lot of people don't, of course, do that because they've never been told. And that's understandable. It's really kind of strange that at least the ones that I've seen, I've never seen the instructions written on any information, that the patient, so it's understandable that people don't know that. So that's the first card. But making sure that you're angling it towards the outer corner of your eye, top of your ear on either side. The other thing is a lot of people do like take a big deep sniff in or inhale in, don't do that. When you do that a lot of times has that medication goes right into the back of your throat and people, a lot of the complaints that people have is, I don't like the way it tastes or you know, you're not really supposed to taste it. It's supposed to stay in your nose. So when you feel it going down the back of your throat, then you've probably inhale too deeply or you know, just basically sucked it down into your throat and it's not really penetrating and getting to the tissue that is swollen and, and causing you the problems as far as the allergy symptoms that you experience. And so those are the two biggest things. Pointing it towards the outer corner of your eye and then just take a natural to inhale and you don't have to do anything extra as far as getting that medication where it's supposed to go. Dr. Berry: Lunch and Learn community I just want to let you know like, I am 0 for 2 on, I thought for, I don't know why I thought for sure it had to like, point in towards, yes. Okay. All right. So we all learned here Lunch and Learn community, we're all in it. That's funny. Okay. So let, let's talk about your practice, right? Let's talk about, you know, why you want to start your practice. Like what was your motivation behind it and then, and then eventually what we need to let people know how they can come to see you? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Yeah. So for me, I was really fortunate with my allergy-immunology training experience. We have the opportunity to, of course, it's the academic institution, so we train with lots of great experts on the academic side. But then we also had the opportunity to work with a private practice who were out in the community and affiliated with our university. So I had the chance firsthand to see the best of both worlds, the pros and the cons of staying in academic or being in an employed position, as well as the pros and cons of doing it on your own and being in private practice, appealed to me. But then also what I felt the allergists who were owning their own practices, you know, what they really appreciated about it drew me as well. And so that led me to decide, okay, you know what, not only am I going to do private practice, but I'm going to open my own practice and do it on my own. And what I hope for with my practices, that I create an environment and an experience that people don't necessarily see and other practices or other medical offices and I can kind of steer the ship the direction that I wanted to go without having to do a lot of, I don't want to say negotiating, but you know, when you're the leader of whatever situation, when things aren't going the way that you want them to go, or the way that you feel is in the best interest of your patients, it's up to you. And it’s ultimately your decision to change the direction of things. I mean, I just want it to have more control over what I was able to provide for my patients and always feel like there wasn't anything hindering those decisions. And that's the reason that I decided to do it for myself to kind of start afresh and build something that I could be really proud of and be a part of for the long run. Dr. Berry: I love it. So as an internist, but are you only seeing like again, I tell people all the time, if you're 17 and below I don't even want to, are you only because it definitely feels like there's a lot of overlap. But do you only see like adults and up? Is that, is there like a cut off for you? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi No. I see children as well. So allergies, one of those unique fields where we process trying to see both adult and pediatric patients. So actually me coming from the internal medicine side, it's a requirement and you know, same for my co-fellow who was coming from the pediatric side. It's a requirement that at least I think the percentage was at least 60% of your patient population be from the other side. You know. So for me, as an internist or internal medicine physician, it was required for me that at least 60% of my patients be pediatric to meet, you know, the standards of ACG and me for my allergy fellowship. And so a lot of what I saw was pediatric. But then I also had the chance of course to see lots of adult patients. So I feel very comfortable seeing both men even down to like age four months or so, we would see patients, especially with the newer recommendations for early introduction of peanut for kids that are at risk for development of peanut allergy. And Eczema, of course, is a big thing for infants as well. So all ages come into my practice pretty much birth to old age. Dr. Berry: Wow. That's nice. (Yeah). Like I say you if you're a 16, 17 I get weary. So that was great. That’s a question, especially in your practice, is there like common things that you know, issue that people kind of deal with on a day to day basis but they don't even realize that they're actually dealing with an allergy problem? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi I think a lot of what we talked about is that, you know, like you were mentioning, you have patients that come in and they've always got bronchitis or quote-unquote sinus, sinus issues or you know, whatever terms people like to call it. And a lot of times that is just plain and simple what we call allergic rhinitis. There's an allergy trigger to it. And if we can identify that, then we can, you know, give you answers and work on getting you feeling better and getting you feeling well. But that's the most common thing. And then of course sometimes it is allergies. It may just maybe something else. But certainly making sure that that's crossed off when you've got somebody coming in with the same seasonal complaint year after year after year is definitely warranted. Dr. Berry: When should, speaking as an internist, when should I be sending my patients to see analogist? And if you're just a patient out there who even dealing with these issues, like what should they be coming to see? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi I usually tell people when over the counter stuff is not working well enough for you. So, and that's again a subjective thing. If it's bothersome to you and what you're doing isn't helping, then that's when you need to see an allergist. As I mentioned, for some people taking Claritin or Zyrtec or whatever over the counter is fine and they're like, okay, I'm good. You know, whatever I wrote through spring, you know, with Zyrtec a day and I'm okay. Whereas other people it's like, no, I'm miserable. You know, my head is always hurting or you know, I'm always seizing. I can't get my work done. And that's another thing too, you know, it affects the quality of life, but it also affects people's productivity at school. And at work whenever they aren't feeling well for whatever reason, but certainly if you're having to blow your nose every 10 seconds and you know you can't breathe out of your nose well or your eyes are always watering. I mean, just imagine dealing with that for a season at a time or constantly on and off all year. How productive were you want to be when you're feeling that way? So once over the counter isn't working, then that's when I suggest people see a specialist to get to the root of what's going on and try to get answers about what they can do. Dr. Berry: Wow. Right. Again, Lunch and Learn community, alright thank you for, you know, really helping enlightened especially me, with definitely Lunch and Learn community, on allergy because it’s a topic that has been so requested. Then I said, okay, all right. I gotta find one. And I found out, I gotta make sure I had a chance before we let you go. The question like this is like, how can what you do empower others to really take better control of their health? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi: Yes. So I think anytime we can have answers about what's going on with our bodies, that's the start of taking control. And you know, it's hard to take control where we don't really know what's going on or what can be done about it. So anytime that I can give answers to people, it's such a relief for me to be able to provide that answer. But it's also, of course, a huge relief for other people when they can point to this is the reason why I don't feel well. So I think that's the gist of it. It empowers people because they now have an answer and then once you have an answer, you can work towards a solution. So yeah, it's all about just trying to provide answers and give people the knowledge that they need so they can have that quality of life and productivity, you know, and just be able to be able to enjoy the everyday things that you know, we want to enjoy going outside, taking a walk, you know, breathing fresh air and not feeling miserable minutes later. Dr. Berry: I love it. I love it. So where can someone find you? Where can someone find you? Whether it's social media, where do your physical office, where? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi My office is in Wiley, Texas, a suburb of the Dallas Metroplex, so Northeast Dallas suburb. And as far as online, you can reach me online through either of my social media pages, Facebook or Instagram. On Instagram, it's @allergywylie, all one word. And Wylie being spelled W, Y, L, I, E. And then on Facebook, it's allergy and asthma care of Wylie. So either of those places sends me a message. There's also an email of course on my website, www.allergywylie.com and you can communicate with me that way as well. Dr. Berry: Perfect. And again, if you're driving, at work, wherever you're doing it, all her links will be in the show notes as well. So you can, you know, get directly in contact her and get you, get your allergies right, get your, just wants to get you outside for the summer. Alright. Dr. Angela Fadahunsi Enjoy the fresh air. Take a walk. Stay healthy. Dr. Berry: Again, thank you so much for joining the podcast. Like this has been absolutely amazing and I already know we're going to have like people jumping for joy, being able to kind of learn, especially that nose thing. Like I said, I'm 0 for 2 y'all, so we need to be 2 for 2 after this episode aired, right? Dr. Angela Fadahunsi: Thank you for having me. Download the MP3 Audio file, listen to the episode however you like.

Session 92 Dr. Neeta Ogden is an allergist and immunologist. She has been out of training for about 13 years and she talks about her career as an allergist in a community setting. She shares some tips and tricks for you as you're going through the process to hopefully become an allergist if this is something you're interested in. [01:16] An Interest in Allergy There are two paths to Allergy fellowship – internal medicine residency and peds residency. Neeta took the internal medicine route. She remembers being in one rotation and the patient was very sick. He needed penicillin desensitization. And she found this very interesting that it was so specific. She describes the field as being precise, systematic, and specialized, which simply drew her to it. Then she did some HIV research at the hospital she was training at. Although she comes from a family of doctors, she never really came across Allergy until her residency. She also liked Dermatology at that time because there was an overlap between the two, but she hasn't really thought about doing anything other than Allergy. Otherwise, she would have just really chosen internal medicine. She thought Allergy was also a great lifestyle specialty. She didn't want to be taking crazy calls at the hospital so this was part of her thought process in choosing the specialty too. [06:24] Types of Patients With the huge rise of food and environmental allergies today, her day-to-day practice is mostly private practice. She sees a variety of both children and adult patients. She manages a lot of skin allergy. She also sees children with food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. She doesn't see a lot of complicated immunology although it could come up once in a while. "There's a ton of rashes and hives and allergic skin reactions more than I probably would have thought I would see." Allergy is driven by immunology and the immune system, the TH2 arm of our immune system specifically. But there's also a specific discipline of immunology like DBID. But she really doesn't see as much. That being said, immunology and allergy are both driven by the same pathophysiology. Immunology is rare and is a discipline that highly evolves in academic centers. In fact, Neeta would 100% defer to academic medical centers for immunology or complicated immunology. [10:16] Community vs. Academic Although Neeta still sees patients at the hospital, it's not the same thing as being in an academic setting which she also misses. Nevertheless, this decision was driven by a lifestyle choice. She joined her family of doctors, a multispecialty private practice, which gave her incredible flexibility of time and overhead. Being a mother, she also thought she'd be more successful in treating patients if she had this level of flexibility. [11:11] Diagnostics Neeta does diagnostics for almost every single patient. Patients are referred to her to find out what they're allergic to. 95% of patients end up getting bloodwork or allergy test in her office. [11:45] A Typical Day A typical day for Neeta would be walking into the office, rotating between three exam rooms. She does a variety of procedures – skin testing, patch testing, pulmonary function testing. Patients end up staying in the exam room for a considerable length of time. So what she does is bringing them on different days for specific testing. [13:05] Procedure Work Procedures done may vary from doctor to doctor. Neeta says procedures can be delegated to staff provided they're trained well. She does scratch testing, pulmonary function testing, and patch testing, application, and removal. They could also do variations of nasal endoscopy. [13:50] Taking Calls and LIfe Outside of Work Neeta takes calls at the hospital but it's not that often. She can get called for desensitization for patients who need it. Other issues she would usually encounter include endroedema and complicated asthma. But then again, it's not that often. "Internists, general doctors, and ER docs know how to get patients to a safe place and then discharge them with an instruction to see an allergist. Neeta describes this specialty as being one of the nicest specialties. You can have a rigorous work life but you can still spend time with your family. [15:50] The Training Path You obviously go through medical school for four years and then followed by a residency either in pediatrics or internal medicine. Around 3rd to 4th year, you will be applying for an Allergy Fellowship. At her time, the specialty was pretty competitive. The fellowship is really for everybody including peds and adults. Then when you ultimately go out, you treat both. To be competitive to match, try to find the chief of Allergy/Immunology at the hospital and get involved with research to show your interest. "Show some sincere interest and truly research. Dedicated work never hurts." [18:30] Subspecialty Opportunities and Bias Towards DOs There are medial centers that have a Food Allergy fellowship as well as other subsets where you may be able to go deeper. As for any negative biases towards DOs, Neeta hasn't really seen anything at all. There are just so many DOs everywhere and they're great doctors. [19:50] Working with Primary Care and Other Specialties Neeta wishes that primary care physicians wouldn't just test a battery food allergy test because people may leave the office thinking they're allergic to all these things and they need to stop. When in reality, we all have antibodies circulating in our bodies. So there isn't really any clinical relevance without a history of a reaction. So it's important for them to know how to interpret those tests or just leave it to the allergist. She also hopes they don't lead people to believe it's an immunology when it's actually an intolerance. She has seen a lot of primary care physicians though that know the updated food guidelines in terms of allergy that all infants should be started on. Hopefully, this is going to turn around peanut allergy cases that have been rising in the last two decades. Asthma is another one that she commonly hears where a primary care physician says they don't have asthma because they're not wheezing. But nocturnal hop especially in children is equivalent to wheezing. So she wishes she wouldn't hear as much of this as this makes the parents of patients doubt you. Other specialties she works the closest with include Dermatology, GI, ENT, Pulmonology, etc. She says asthma is either taken care of by pulmonologist or an allergist. But an allergist can probably help more since much of asthma is driven by allergy. "So much of asthma is driven by allergy and an allergist can do a bit more to help." Neeta further shares an advice to aspiring primary care doctors who would be consideirng whether to send their patients to an allergist or a pulmonologist. If the asthma is triggered, pulmonary may be the better route. But the medications they're going to use are just the same anyway. That being said, you can't go wrong. [24:50] Special Opportunities Outside of Clinical Medicine A big part of her life is doing work in the media. Neeta has done a lot of TV and educational media around the issue of allergy, which has become a hot topic. You could also write or have a podcast. [25:50] Most and Least Liked Things About Allergy What she wished she knew that she knows now going into the field is that the field requires a bit of being business savvy. What she likes most about the field is the ability to make people feel better. "Even though so many allergy medications are over the counter, I don't think people know how to use them efficiently." What she likes the least, on the other hand, are chronic issues that can make people feel miserable. In many cases, they don't respond to therapies. Treating the chronic asthmatic isn't also fun. [27:44] Major Changes in the Future Neeta has read about allergists fighting against an FDA regulation that allergists can no longer make shots for their patients. This would be problematic since this is a huge source of income if you're administering shots. Moreover, there's the automization of skin tests and the interpretation can take the allergists out of the picture. But that being said, you may think people may no longer need allergists. But people need that expertise. [28:31] Final Words of Wisdom If she had to do it all over again, Neeta would have chosen the same specialty. She simply loves it! She loves the "detective" aspect of it. One of the biggest medical mystery allergy-related cases she had seen was the drug reaction with eosinophilic systemic syndrome. Finally, Neeta wishes to imparts to medical students and premeds that allergists are needed. You have to be willing to make time for people. Empathy is also needed. Keep in mind how valuable you are. Realize how much difference your words and your education can make in the lives of patients. "It's a specialty that continues to be incredibly relevant because allergies are only going to get worse."

Session 59 Looking at the Psychiatry Match data, it's easy to see that it is becoming a more popular field. I discuss all the data in today's Specialty Stories podcast. Finding physicians for this show has been a challenge so we'd like to ask for your help. If you know a physician who would be a great addition to this podcast, shoot me an email at ryan@medicalschoolhq.net . Go to medicalschoolhq.net/specialtiescovered and you'd find a list of physicians that we've already covered here on the show. Today, we cover Psychiatry match data based on the 2017 NRMP Main Residency Match Data. [03:20] General Summary There are 236 programs in psychiatry. Comparing it with other specialties, pediatrics has 204 programs. So there are 32 more psychiatry programs than there are pediatric programs. The total number of positions offered for Psychiatry is 1,495 spots. This means a little over 6 spots per program. Whereas pediatrics is much bigger with twice as many spots of 2,738 in 204 program. So it's almost 13 1/2 spots per program - almost double the size of psychiatry programs. There were 3 unfilled programs in 2017 and the total number of U.S. Senior applicants for those 1,495 spots was only 1,067. These are the students at MD medical schools who are still in school, and not those that have graduated. So there were less students applying to those spots than there were spots available. There were 2,614 applicants. It's almost 1,200 more applicants than there were spots available. This is still pretty competitive to apply. Looking at the number of those that matched, only 923 of those 1,067 U.S. Seniors did match while over a hundred of those did not match into Psychiatry. It was only about 61.7% of those that matched are U.S. Seniors. Looking at other fields that matched, Anesthesiology was 66.8%, Dermatology at 92.3%, and PGY-2 positions for dermatology is 81.8%. [07:05] Types of Applicants and Growth Trends Table 2 of the NRMP Match Data for 2017 shows the matches by specialty and applicant types. For Psychiatry, there were four spots that went unfilled, 923 were U.S. Seniors and that's about almost 62%. 49 were U.S. Graduates. These were students who went to anMD school but had graduated already. Maybe they didn't get in the first time or they were just taking a gap year doing some research or travel, whatever. "A good percentage of osteopathic students are getting into Psychiatry." There were 216 osteopathic students, 166 U.S.-Citizen International Medical Graduates, and 137 non-U.S.citizen International Medical Graduates. There were four unfilled positions. Table 3 shows the growth trends covering 2013 to 2017. Psychiatry is growing a bunch, about 5% every year. In 2017, it grew 5.2%. Table 7 shows positions offered and number filled by U.S. Seniors and all applicants from 2013 to 2017. There's an interesting trend in Psychiatric that it's becoming more popular among U.S. graduates. When you go back to 2013, it was only about 52% of the class who were U.S. graduates. "If you're interested in Psychiatry, it seems to be growing. Hopefully there'll be spots for you as you continue down your training path." In 2017, U.S. Seniors comprised 61.7% while in 2013, it was only around 52% and been going up year over year. Table 9 shows you how big a specialty is int he grand scheme of specialties. Ophthalmology is a separate match so that's not included. For Psychiatry, 5.4% of all students who matched, matched into Psychiatry. Just to give you a scale, Anesthesiology was only 4.1%, Emergency Medicine is 7.4%, Internal Medicine is 25.6%, Family Medicine is 11.6%. OB/GYN is 4.7%. [11:40] Osteopathic Students And if you're an osteopathic student interested to know your chances, Table 11 will show it to you. 7.4% of all DO students who matched into an MD program, matched into Psychiatry. Compared to the rest, Family Medicine and Internal Medicine are huge, Anesthesiology is 5.6%, Emergency Medicine is 9.6%. So the ratios are very similar. Figure 6 shows the percentages of unmatched U.S. Seniors and Independent Applicants who ranked each specialty as their only choice. If you are only ranking Psychiatry, there's a total unmatched percentage of 30.8%. But don't let that scare you if you're a U.S. Senior. Because their unmatched percentage is only at 7.4%. 52.9% of those who are independent applicants (ex. DO students, U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen international medical graduates, Canadian students) did not match [13:13] SOAP Let's go to the SOAP (Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program). There were four unfilled programs, when you look at the data. But interestingly, when you look at the SOAP for 2017, there were only three available positions. One of those positions was either filled or taken off of the board. So there were two programs with three positions available. And all three of those spots were filled through the SOAP. [13:45] NRMP Charting the Outcomes 2017 - Contiguous Ranks Based on the 2016 NRMP Charting the Outcomes, Table 1 shows the number of applicants and positions in the 2016 match by preferred specialty. Psychiatry has 1,586 spots, 2,134 applicants, number of all applicants per position was 1.54, as one of the highest on this list. There are a lot of International Medical Grads and DO students are applying for these spots. Specialties like vascular surgery only has 56 positions and the total number of applicants per position is 1.91. The only one here above Psychiatry other than that is Neurosurgery which is 1.58. So there are a lot of applicants for those spots. Chart 4 tells the median number of contiguous ranks of U.S. Allopathic Seniors. Those who matched in Psychiatry ranked 9 programs in a row; while those that did not match only ranked 5. "You need to apply to a lot of programs and rank a lot of programs. That is the same across the board for every specialty." Further down the report is Table P-1 is the summary stats for Psychiatry. The mean number of contiguous ranks for those who matched is 9.6 while those who didn't is 5.6. Mean number of distinct specialties ranked is 1.1 for those who matched and 1.3 for those who went unmatched. For those who did not match were a little bit wishy washy with their specialty choice. [16:30] Step 1 and Step 2 Scores, AOA Members, and PhD Degree Step 1 scores for Psychiatry is not as high as some of the other programs. Psychiatry has 224 for mean Step 1 score and 214 for those that did not match. For Mean Step 2 Scores, 238 for those that matched, and 226 for those that did not. For AOA (the honor society for medical students) members, only 6.2% of the students who matched were AOA members while none of those that did not match were AOA members. 4.4% had a PhD degree and 0 unmatched had a PhD degree. You could look at that saying that you have to have a PhD degree to match into Psychiatry or you have to be an AOA member to match. But you have to look at the data yourself. [18:00] 2018 Medscape Lifestyle and Compensation Reports The 2018 Medscape Lifestyle Report shows the highest outside of work is 61% for Allergy Immunology and the lowest is Cardiology at 40%. Psychiatry is right in the middle at 51%. But let's also look at the 2017 NRMP Main Residency Match Data. Psychiatry and mental health are at the bottom for burnout at 42% versus Emergency Medicine at 59%. How severe is the burnout, they're much lower at 4 on the scale. "Not surprisingly, the question which physicians are most burnt out, Psychiatry and Mental Health are at the very bottom. They probably have some coping skills." Which physicians are happiest outside of work and at work? Psychiatry is lower on the list with 66% happy outside, and 37% are happy at work. And they're found on the lower end of the scale. Looking at the 2017 Medscape Compensation Report, Psychiatry is on the lower end. That's understandable because usually, the more procedure-heavy specialties are compensated more. Their average annual compensation is at $235K while Orthopedics is up at $489K. So that's a big difference. Pediatrics is the lowest at $202K. However, they're getting 4% salary increase year over year. Slide 18 shows which physicians feel fairly compensated and Psychiatry is top 3 at 64%, next to Dermatology and Emergency Medicine (first). Slide 38 is a question about whether they'd choose medicine again and Psychiatry is top 2 at 82%, Rheumatology is at 83%. 87% of Psychiatry also say that they would choose the same specialty again. The highest is Dermatologist and Orthopedics is next. [21:38] Final Thoughts As mentioned earlier, we are in need of more physicians to interview.

I believe that the nutrition and health messages we get from mainstream medicine are ALL wrong. - Amy Shah, M.D. Dr. Amy Shah contacted me and asked if she could come on the show. Here's what she said: "I am a double board certified medical doctor with one of the most successful practices in the country in Allergy/Immunology. I have trained at places like Harvard and Columbia. But about a year ago, I felt I needed more - I need to follow my calling into wellness and mind body medicine. Since then I started www.amyshahmd.com. I think we all need to think bigger in healthcare! Let’s use the power of nutrition and the wisdom of Eastern principles, and bring it together with the amazing technological advances of the modern day. Let’s solve the problems of inflammation (such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, etc), and hormone imbalances TOGETHER." She got my attention. We talk about this disconnect between traditional Western medicine and the wellness movement, and a whole lot more.  Including: - Chronic inflammation - what is it and why should we care? - How to feel 25 years old again - and for much longer - Why the food of 50-75 years ago isn't comparable to the same foods today - What foods are naturally healing to the body - What supplements will Dr. Amy take, and why she prefers to "eat her vitamins" Learn more and connect to all of the resources mentioned in the show at http://www.onairwithella.com/
