News Image

“If the human body were a machine, the brain would be the computerized system that receives input and controls what all the other parts do.”

Health Naturals has announced the release of their newest informational guide: A guide to How the Brain Works. From physical characteristics that map out weight, length, and color to an in-depth look at how our neurons fire and communicate, this guide explains many of the systems and pathways that allow our brain to power how we think.

“If the human body were a machine, the brain would be the computerized system that receives input and controls what all the other parts do.” says a spokesperson from Health Naturals. “Although it can be divided into multiple sections, they all function as one whole. All areas rely on others to perform both complicated and simple tasks.”

With a look at the four lobes, the cerebrum, and the brain stem, this is an all-purpose guide that can explain form and function to someone unfamiliar with the human body’s central processor. Additionally, this provides an intuitive look at how all facets of the brain work in coordination to power the central nervous and peripheral nervous system.

Another type of drug used by modern doctors focuses on targeting specific points of the immune system.

Dr. Erfan & Bagedo General Hospital Selects Ecaresoft for Enterprise-Wide Health IT System


“We have been thoroughly analyzing more than 20 hospital solutions, it has been tough because we have been searching for the best-integrated solution that can help us with our continuous excellent patient care,” said Ahmed Bagedo, newly-minted Chief Financial and Administration Officer at Dr. Erfan & Bagedo General Hospital. “Between all of these international companies, we have chosen Ecaresoft because of their solution Cirrus, it is true-cloud, fully integrated financial and clinical solution, along with the business intelligence suite.”

Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) New York to Host ‘Egg Freezing + Endometriosis, Everything You Need to Know’ Patient Seminar, One Attendee to Receive Free Egg Freezing Cycle


News Image

Empowering women to make informed decisions about their healthcare is part of our mission at SGF. My approach is to be very transparent with my patients about all of their options and help them to feel confident in whatever decision they make, said Dr. Brauer.

Physicians from Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) New York will host a unique patient seminar for women with endometriosis who are seeking to learn about their fertility preservation options on Monday, February 24, 2020, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. The event is co-sponsored by SGF New York and the Seckin Endometriosis Center with additional support by the Endometriosis Foundation of America. One (1) attendee will receive a free egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York.

Attendees will hear from leading experts in endometriosis and egg freezing:

Karli Goldstein, M.D., Seckin Endometriosis Center Associate Surgeon, and Board Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist

Tamer Seckin, M.D., Seckin Endometriosis Center Founder, Surgeon, and Board Certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist

Anate Brauer, M.D., SGF New York IVF Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist

Tomer Singer, M.D., SGF New York Medical Director and Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist

During the event, Dr. Goldstein will cover the medical impact and her first-hand experience living with endometriosis, while Dr. Seckin, a renowned endometriosis specialist, will discuss the surgical management of endometriosis.

“Endometriosis, a painful condition where the tissue lining the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity, affects approximately 48 percent of women with infertility. It likely affects someone you know. We’re here to raise awareness about the disease and empower women with options and inform them of their endometriosis management and fertility preservation options,” said Dr. Seckin.

“As a stage IV endometriosis patient and now endometriosis surgeon myself, it’s always been my passion to promote wellness with an integrative approach. I can empathize with patients throughout all aspects of care,” said Dr. Goldstein.

Egg freezing allows women with endometriosis to preserve the existing quantity and quality of their eggs and fertility at present. Vitrification, or flash-freezing, has shown to be an is efficient and effective method of freezing eggs that demonstrates strong survival, fertilization, and embryonic development rates after frozen eggs have been thawed, thereby preserving family building options.

Dr. Brauer will offer attendees a deep dive into SGF’s egg freezing process, a fertility-preservation option that’s growing in popularity at an unprecedented 20 percent per year, nationally, with even higher growth rates in New York City and surrounding areas. SGF holds the spot as one of the leading egg freezing programs in the U.S., and the number of women choosing egg freezing at SGF continues to rise.

“Empowering women to make informed decisions about their healthcare is part of our mission at SGF. My approach is to be very transparent with my patients about all of their options and help them to feel confident in whatever decision they make,” said Dr. Brauer, who sees patients in SGF New York’s Manhattan location.

Dr. Singer will share SGF’s success rates, with SGF being one of only a few centers in the nation with published success rates for women who return to use their frozen eggs. In addition, he will cover what to expect during fertility testing to determine candidacy for egg freezing, what to expect during an egg freezing cycle, financial programs, SGF’s refund guarantees for egg freezing, and much more.

“My approach is to support and empower my patients with the information they need to guide them in making the right medical decisions for them,” said Singer, who also sees patients in SGF New York’s Manhattan location.

All attendees will be entered into a raffle where one (1) attendee will receive a free egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York. The cycle giveaway is valid only for a future egg freezing cycle at SGF New York. Clinical eligibility does apply. The raffle drawing will take place at the event.

The seminar will be hosted in SGF New York’s new 15,300 square foot space, conveniently located at 110 East 60th Street—minutes from nine NY subway stations providing easy access from all boroughs as well as Westchester, Long Island, and Connecticut, and steps from Bloomingdales, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and The Plaza Hotel.

Cannafornia launches Cannafornia Acquisition Fund (CAF)


Cannafornia Farms in Salinas, CA

Cannafornia is one of the biggest and most profitable cannabis cultivators in California – the most competitive market in the country.

”Fortunes are built when the market is down and fortunes are collected when the market adjusts,” said Paul King, Cannafornia CEO.

Cannafornia launches a real estate fund to acquire cannabis cultivation facilities in emerging markets.

Cannafornia is one of the biggest and most profitable cannabis cultivators in California – the most competitive market in the country. Our goal from day 1 was to race to become a major cultivator with a focus on profitability. It didn’t have to be a huge profit, but as long as we’re not losing money we will be self-sustaining and will be fine. That was the mantra.

Since we launched 24 months ago our investors saw their stock rise from 20m to 90m.

There are a lot of people in the industry that are timid right now. They’re low on cash and they don’t have access to grow. They’re in a tough position, especially if they’re not cash flow positive at the moment.

Medmen is a good example. If you’ve heard me speak at conferences since 2018 when Medmen was a billion dollar stock I’ve been saying that Medmen is doomed and now with the dip in the market, we’re seeing it all play out.

Over the past 5 years I’ve gained so much knowledge and experience and been through so many ups and downs that I feel I have the pulse on the industry and can evaluate a cannabis opportunity as well as anyone. Being hands on, living on the farm, seeing the market develop, I know what operators have to go through and how they’re thinking. That knowledge paired with my incredible team, my shareholders knowledge of banking and finance, it’s like a dream team. And now, with the dip in the market, the real estate opportunity opened and we’re activating the dream team!

I got together with my executive team to discuss whether we should start the Cannafornia Acquisition Fund, our thinking was;

1. Cannafornia is among the best greenhouse growers, and we know more about cannabis than anyone from the banking or finance industries,

2. Due to lack of funding in the US cannabis space, valuable emerging market assets are undervalued at the moment. We’ve seen this movie before in California and feel we have our pulse on how it’ll play out in other markets

3. At the same time, Cannafornia has over 150 investors, many of whom are very connected and capable of raising any amount of money for a smart and sound project.

So with all of that in mind, we decided to launch the Cannafornia Acquisition Fund, which just launched a few days ago and already has 500k sq ft under contract.

And of course, it doesn’t hurt to have Cannafornia as a potential tenant.

From Disparaged to Doctorate, Once Displaced Immigrant Dr. Ezzat Moghazy, Partners with AYBOS as the The Rebuild Your Mind Initiative Assistant Director


C. A. Shively, Dr. Ezzat Moghazy and Marchell Taylor Join Forces To Tackle Mental Health & Trauma!

To accomplish this and make these resources available to every individual & business, Dr. Moghazy and AYBOS have launched the 50,000 Hour Mental Health Challenge to all mental health professionals!

Dr. Ezzat Moghazy began consulting AYBOS and the Rebuild Your Mind (RYM) Initiative in 2019 after Dr. Nina Minagawa sent out a message to her professional network calling for support of the initiative. Still in his pre-doctorate at the time, Dr. Moghazy answered the call. Both Moghazy and now RYM Director Dr. Minagawa have both been instrumental in providing clinical direction for RYM since then. With Minagawa on medical leave, Moghazy has been filling both positions in her absence. Moghazy has accomplished an impressive resume, to now include: a Doctorate and Ph.D. in Integrative Medicine, over 20 years of experience in the medical field, a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy, Certified Kinesiology Taping Instructor (CKTI), Reiki Master Teacher (RMT) since 1999, and Registered Psychotherapist /Clinical Hypnotherapist a PhD in Integrative Medicine. He met the love of his life, Michelle and started to practice in Denver & Boulder Colorado, which has become a huge success.

Since receiving his Doctorate in late 2019, Moghazy has accepted the full responsibility of the Assistant Director role for RYM. Dr. Moghazy is also the founder of My Best Healer (MBH), and has already donated many hours of consultation, as well as therapy by pledging the support of his practice. MBH, has offices in Denver and Boulder Colorado, specializing in: Chronic Pain, Weight Management, Smoking Cessation, Trauma/PTSD, Relationships Anxiety/Stress, Confidence, and Handwriting Analysis, according to their website (mybesthealer.com). Moghazy explains, “My Best Healer means You are your own best healer. In medicine, we all know that we treat people, but they heal themselves.”

Dr. Moghazy learned the power of “self-healing” early in life as he came to America from Egypt without a penny in his pocket nor a roof over his head. His English was severely broken and a distant second language. What Moghazy did have was an integrative approach to eastern philosophy that he learned from his father. He taught him to pull resources from within, and he did just that.

Moghazy says that he represents the American Dream and has experienced it firsthand. Coming from such humble beginnings to become the accredited doctor he worked so hard to be, he has a passion for others in similar or worse positions. This is the motivation behind his mission for thousands of people across the world to learn how to pull resources from within themselves as taught early by his father. Ezzat starts by finding the root trauma or talent and either diminishes it or helps it to blossom. Through the initiative and community outreach, RYM and MBH also help at-risk youth of Denver see their potential and give them a light to hold on to.

At the heart of this goal is teaching the youth how to find their inner resources and encourage them to lead a life of passion, thereby creating a positive everlasting impact in the world. When they have nothing to hold on to, Moghazy’s modalities and RYM techniques can help them learn to do great in life for themselves. Moghazy not only practices, but also represents this model as a child himself that started from nothing and worked his American Dream into a PhD and his own practice. You can see this passion is Dr. Moghazy’s RYM Challenge Support Video included here: https://youtu.be/7P4n4RjEtSo

Dr. Moghazy has created a unique Quantum Medical approach, meaning to become resourceful, that trains neural pathways in the mind to become resourceful in order to see the world from within. This is the vision and clinical direction Moghazy brings to the RYM Initiative overall. In addition to the local economy stimulation through MBH and AYBOS, the RYM Initiative keeps on track with their goal to destigmatize mental health experiences all together.

To accomplish this and make these resources available to every individual & business, Dr. Moghazy and AYBOS have launched the 50,000 Hour Mental Health Challenge to all mental health professionals. Moghazy and Calyn Crow of Rocky Mountain Solutions are the first therapists to put their “modalities where their mouth is.” Both have donated the first hours to the challenge in hopes that as many doctors, therapists and mental health professionals follow their example in droves.

Moghazy, Crow and AYBOS are working unceasingly to make Colorado the most efficient trauma-informed (education about the brain, body & mind), trauma-conscious (understanding how to utilize this education effectively), and lastly trauma-responsive (having the resources readily available to respond to trauma in each individual) state in the US.

Both Moghazy and Crow have filmed versions of their approaches for the challenge with AYBOS Video Team. You can see both videos here:

Newport Beach Institute Launches Home-Based Vestibular Virtual Reality System Used to Treat Mark Cuban for Dizziness


treatment, virtual reality, dizziness, home healthcare

Home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality system for treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, says Dr. Howard T. Mango.

Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute (the Institute) has launched a patent-pending, home-based, Vestibular Virtual Reality (VVR) system for the treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which is now available to national and international patients. The home-based VVR treatment system is built on the technology and proprietary Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ clinical protocols the Institute utilized to effectively treat Mark Cuban for dizziness caused by vestibular (inner ear) dysfunction. Vestibular dysfunction is a prominent cause of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which nearly half of the U.S. population will experience in their lifetimes.

The advanced home-based VVR treatment system for dizziness, vertigo and imbalance is unique because it allows a doctor to remotely monitor a patient’s progress and adjust treatment prescriptions, accordingly, providing superior treatment outcomes vs. self-directed home therapy. The VVR treatment system is exclusively available to patients of the Institute and promises to deliver effective treatment to patients at home who suffer from often debilitating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance.

The home-based VVR treatment system is an extension of the Institute’s trademarked Advanced Vestibular Treatment. The proprietary clinical process is a “top-down” approach to diagnosing and treating dizziness, vertigo and imbalance, which starts with the vestibular system where a large portion of these disorders originate. Directed by doctors of audiology, Advanced Vestibular Treatment incorporates physical exercises with optokinetic stimulation to both desensitize visual motion disturbance and help restore balance function by utilizing integration techniques between the vestibular, visual and somatosensory inputs. Advanced Vestibular Treatment can be more efficient and effective than traditional “bottom-up” therapies, such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy, that utilize exercises and core strengthening for postural control.

“The home-based VVR treatment system is a new and revolutionary aspect of Advanced Vestibular Treatment,” says Dr. Howard T. Mango, CEO and founder of Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute. “The underlying clinical protocols are proven to effectively treat vestibular related balance issues, as with Mark Cuban. The introduction of the VVR treatment system to deliver this clinical efficacy at home is a far-reaching way to help restore patients to activity levels prior to the onset of their symptoms.”

To get the VVR treatment system, patients must first undergo a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation at the Institute. If vestibular dysfunction is diagnosed, a recommendation for treatment is prescribed by one of the Institute’s doctors of audiology. Patients then begin home-based treatment through the VVR system with an accompanying concierge care plan of their choosing. Patients are cared for by their doctor of audiology during treatment through regular phone and online appointments, as well as remote monitoring to evaluate treatment progress, with adjustments to treatment prescriptions implemented throughout.

The VVR treatment system is available to patients for purchase or lease and includes self-contained virtual reality goggle system, mobile phone application, Advanced Vestibular Treatment web portal, patient-specific optokinetic treatment stimuli and physical exercise videos.

“Virtual reality, real-time connectivity and Advanced Vestibular Treatment are a true convergence of high-tech and high-touch healthcare,” says Dr. Mango. “From the convenience of each patient’s home, we can now deliver highly personalized, highly effective treatment of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. For dizziness, Vestibular Virtual Reality is a home-healthcare gamechanger.”

About Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute

Newport-Mesa Audiology Balance & Ear Institute is one of the country’s leading practices for the research, diagnosis and treatment of patients with vestibular dysfunction – one of the leading causes of dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders. Serving national and international patients, the Institute’s team of doctors of audiology utilize advanced, state-of-the-art technology at two locations – Newport Beach and Ladera Ranch, California. The Institute provides both comprehensive diagnostic testing and proprietary Advanced Vestibular Treatment™ with more than a 90 percent success rate.

A full spectrum of audiological solutions is also offered to enhance hearing health, including adult and pediatric hearing loss evaluation, advanced hearing devices and tinnitus treatment. Since 1977, the Institute has served over 50,000 patients. 500 Old Newport Blvd., Suite 101, Newport Beach, CA 92663 | 949.642.7935 | http://www.dizziland.com.

Dr. Andre Panossian’s Mending Kids Medical Missions Transform the Lives of Underprivileged Teens and Pediatric Patients in Armenia


Dr.Panossian

Dr. Panossian’s Annual Mending Kids Mission Continues to Expand with the Inclusion of Teaching and Training

Dr. Andre Panossian — board member and founder of the Mending Kids annual medical mission in Armenia — is a renowned plastic surgeon and highly-respected philanthropist who offers his medical expertise in inner cities in the USA and in remote areas throughout the world. The Mending Kids medical mission offers teaching, education, medical instruments, and resources to surgeons in Armenia and consistently expands its outreach to better the lives of others.

Dr. Andre Panossian initiated the very first Mending Kids mission to Armenia in 2015 as an independent effort. Mending Kids’ Armenia mission provides reconstructive surgery at the children’s hospital (Arabkir) in the capital of Yerevan. Approximately 16 to 20 complex reconstructive surgeries are performed each week during the mission on underprivileged teens and children, including:

Complex cleft lip and palate deformities

Vascular birthmark removal

Facial paralysis reconstruction

Neurofibromatosis reconstruction

Correction of congenital hand and foot deformities

Trauma and burn reconstruction

Dr. Panossian is a Harvard-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon and a first-generation Armenian-American who has a passion for international medical missions. The Armenia mission, under Dr. Panossian, has a strong educational component.

Mending Kids’ advanced surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and train local Armenian doctors on technical aspects of complex reconstructive plastic surgery, including an annual lecture given by Dr. Panossian to medical students, residents, and practicing physicians in the area. Mending Kids’ surgeons maintain strong ties with local doctors and frequently review cases and perform postoperative follow-ups using telehealth technology. This educational effort is empowering local Armenian surgeons and physicians to advance their skills and better serve their patients and community.

Medical donations also provide crucial supplies and equipment, including sutures, fine instruments, drills, saws and other surgical power equipment, and magnification loupes for Armenian surgeons.
