Have you stopped to ask yourself why are so many people sicker and on medicine more than ever before. Did I mention at a younger age.  In addition to seeing this as a doctor, it has been happening all around me outside the office. We must wonder why. A significant cause is our nutrition. I think this video answers a lot of questions. Check out the video, share it with friends and loved ones and let me know what you think about the video.

Weight Loss, is it good or bad?

Recently, an unfortunate outcome resulted which I believe can be used as a teachable moment. Most people want to lose weight. During this time, various strategies are started or intensified to receive the results that you are in search of. Intentional weight loss is always welcomed, but when is weight loss a sign of something else taking place. Although not spoken of much, weight loss can come from other reasons including poor nutritional intake, poorly controlled diabetes, various chronic diseases and yes cancer. Take a moment to think about this because it is real. Consider a check up especially before your plans to lose weight. Of course, at any time there are concerns make sure to get a check up. Younger people are getting more chronic diseases. Sadly, cancer is on the increase in younger people also. Spread the word and get your check ups while living a healthy lifestyle.

The Fentanyl Epidemic

The fentanyl epidemic continues to be a national problem with international connections. For years to come we all will need to educate ourselves and loved ones to protect themselves. Fentanyl is potent and available over the internes. Simply touching or breathing can kill a person. This 60 minute video is a great reminder of how serious the problem is.

Dementia On The Rise In Blacks and Hispanics

I don’t know about you but this rise in dementia is very concerning. As a doctor who cares for this, this is very alarming. Recent high profile cases are bringing more attention to this disease. Many want to know why do Blacks have a much higher rate of this disease. Some believe it is related to our high risk of vascular disease,  socio-economics and genetic reasons.  It is predicted that over the next 30 years the numbers will be even more impressive.

 

As someone who cares for this population of people, it should be no surprise that this is a full time job. In addition, it is very expensive. One thing we can do now is lead healthy lifestyles and keep exercising those brains.

Men’s Health

African American men continue to have some the least desirable health outcomes. There are many reasons for this. I wanted to take a moment to talk about this because as a Black male it does concern me. Not to mention, that no one seems to be talking about it which should help to make things better.  There are many social reasons that lead to this but an interaction I had today help to remind me, just how difficult it is in many cases for men to find doctors that they are comfortable with. Comfort is important as we all know.  It has also been clear that because of our busy schedules many look to friends, social media and other non scientific approaches to help guide and advise their health decisions.  This may explain why commonly people with no symptoms

come to the office with blood pressure in the 200/100 range.  The real reason for this post is to remind all that the name of the game these days is prevention. It is critical to have someone in your corner partnering with you  for your health. Health is important, and your health is important to your loved ones and your community too.

Medical Marijuana Update

After a year now of having Medical Marijuana (MM) available in the state we have a lot of experience and things to talk about. My experience as a certified prescriber has been very good. Most of my patients have either had chronic pain PTSD and they all have done exceptionally well. There have been no apparent side effects. Most of all as they have told me, is they “have their lives back”. I have learned to let those that need the MM that there is no THC in some products so they can avoid the high feeling you can get with THC. This really seems to help alleviate concerns about this treatment option.

Medical Marijuana Update_ August 2018

 By all accounts, medical marijuana is going well here in Maryland. The experience that has been witnessed in our practice has been very good. Those whose quality of life suffered before, have been significantly improved with respect to their pain. It has been rewarding to see  quality of life restored to those that suffered so much before. I continue those that an benefit from medical marijuana to do your research and then consider the risk and benefits of this treatment option.
