How to Stay Out of My Emergency Room with Dr. Mona Balogh, M.D. Master Your Health and Find Joy in Life by Balancing the Power of Your Mind, Your Body and Your Higher Self  A Positive Program Of Living For Uncertain Times Mona Balogh, M.D. is a retired Emergency Room Physician. She received her medical degree at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. Her residency was completed in Emergency Medicine at the well-known Los Angeles County General Hospital near downtown L.A., notable for its proximity to South Central and serving an underserved population that often arrived at the ER without resources for medical care. She offered her medical expertise as a volunteer for The Flying Samaritans, which mission is to deliver free health care to those lacking access in Baja California, Mexico.   Dr. Balogh in her early career eventually landed at Kaiser Woodland Hills Medical Center in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, where she practiced as an ER doctor for many years. Over time, she came to regard the practice of medicine as a true art, and learned that even simple lifestyle changes can directly impact patient outcomes.  Probably because of what many would agree to be a wise approach, Dr. Balogh became interested in alternative medicine midway in her career, after attending an Addiction Medicine seminar. This passion led her to more study on holistic approaches to health. She pursued other therapeutic modalities that could complement evidence-based (Western) medicine. Since then, she has studied both formally and informally: acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, energy medicine, herbal, and homeopathic medicine. Her interest in treating and helping the most resistant of patients, the 'frequent flyers,' led her to write this book. She lives with her husband, Endre, an artist and musician in Chatsworth, California and is enjoying her children and grandchildren. Los Angeles, CA – Over the course of twenty-seven years treating patients in emergency rooms, Dr. Mona Balogh noticed a tendency - from diabetes to addiction - for some people to chronically use ERs to address their disease when lifestyle changes could help their condition immensely. These “Frequent Fliers” didn’t seem to understand how to help themselves. Dr. Balogh took the road less travelled, convinced there had to be a more comprehensive and effective roadmap she could offer to help her patients restore their health and vitality. How to Stay Out of My Emergency Room addresses a panoply of bad habits and addictions through captivating stories of Dr. Balogh’s interactions with patients who repeatedly return to her emergency room due to their tendency to avoid making lifestyle changes. Delving deeper, we soon learn that there might be a Frequent Flyer hidden in many of us. The second part of the book moves into action, presenting a roadmap to instilling healthy new habits into our lives - complete with worksheets. By applying the Eastern philosophy of opposing forces with The 12 Steps and Vipassana-inspired meditations, the book provides a foundation for the reader to help themselves escape from whatever unhealthy rut in which they find themselves. In a series of powerful game-changing meditations we get in touch with our Higher Self. How to Stay Out of My Emergency room calls upon time-honored principles to help us stop blaming everybody and everything around us and use tools outlined in the book to fulfill the vision that we have for ourselves and our life. Not since the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People has there been an “instruction manual” that powerfully presents such a positive program of living. This book will be useful to the health professional, the caregiver and for anyone who is ready to do what is necessary to transform their lives and become their very best self. www.monabalogh.com  ​Learn more about Dr. Bernie here:  http://berniesiegelmd.com/

Dr. Larry Dossey – From the Illusion of Separation to the Truth of UnityAired Tuesday, 9 July 2019, 5:00 PM EST / 2:00 PM PSTIt’s “One Mind” Over All MattersInterview with Dr. Larry Dossey, Author of “One Mind: How Our Individual Mind is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why it Matters”“Sadly, the biggest threat to the planetary eco-system is the human ego-system.” — Swami BeyondanandaThere is nothing wrong with the human ego. Who would we be without an ego? Nobody, that’s who!But … what if in addition to being “somebody” we were also “everybody”? What if we were connected in ways that seem outlandish to the ordinary mind? What if, in fact, there was no such thing as the “ordinary mind” and that we were all part of one big “extraordinary mind”?Our guest this week, Dr. Larry Dossey, has been a pioneer in complementary and alternative medicine. He has written books that offer both empirical and anecdotal evidence of the healing power of prayer, and his latest book offers the best antidote yet to the unbalanced “individualism” that has woven us dangerously outside the web of life.As to what this metaphysical issue has to do with healing the body politic, Larry says: “Only by realizing, at the deepest emotional level, our connections with one another and the Earth itself can we summon the courage necessary to make the tough choices that are required in order to survive. So, this book is also about staying alive — saving the Earth and our own skins.”Dr. Larry Dossey has long been recognized as influential advocate of the role of the mind in health and the role of spirituality in healthcare. A graduate of University of Texas and Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, he also served as a battalion surgeon in Vietnam, and Chief of Staff of Medical City Dallas Hospital. The author of nine books and numerous articles, Dr. Dossey is the former Executive Editor of the peer-reviewed journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, the most widely subscribed-to journal in its field. In his 1989 book Recovering the Soul, he introduced the concept of “nonlocal mind” — mind unconfined to the brain and body, mind spread infinitely throughout space and time. Since then, “nonlocal mind” has been adopted by many leading scientists as an emerging image of consciousness. He is also the author of Healing Words : The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine as well as Prayer is Good Medicine : How to Reap the Healing Benefits of Prayer, pioneering and controversial books about the effect of mind on medicine.While mainstream science – in its unwillingness to even look at phenomena it can’t explain through current knowledge – has resisted Dr. Dossey’s idea, evidence from as far afield as quantum physics seems to support his view of “one mind”.If you’re curious how his work informs and impacts our current political, cultural, and ecological “shituation”, please tune in this Tuesday, July 9th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/One more thing… How YOU and WE Can Make a DifferenceHave you noticed that regardless of which of the two political parties you vote for, neither of them seem to be willing to confront Monsanto and agribusiness?

https://accadandkoka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Dr.-Milton-Packer-e1547690036495.jpg ()Milton Packer, MD For a few decades in the mid-twentieth century, the American Medical School represented the pinnacle of academia and its faculty were mightily engaged in the “triple threat” of research, teaching, and patient care.  Today, however, the medical ivory tower is subordinated to hospital systems, overburdened with the menial task of “generating revenue,” and is but a pale image of its former self.  On this episode, our guest helps us trace the history of the American medical school from its humble 19th century beginnings to its present day turmoils.

For most Americans, heart disease starts at birth.  A new study indicates that overweight pre-teen girls are 10 times more likely to be overweight as adults and as a result are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. The scientific research is overwhelming in supporting omega-3 fish oil for our hearts, but is there a particular group of people who should avoid omega-3s? Dr. Nina Radford, senior cardiologist at Cooper Clinic in Dallas and the former director of the hypertension clinic at U.T. Southwestern Medical School, takes calls.
