New Easy to Use Brace for Cubital Tunnel and Tendintis

lonnie.1

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy in the human body and represents a major cause of disability in sports and in the workforce. Second only to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) in incidence, cubital tunnel effects over an estimated 7,500,000 million Americans.

Despite staggering prevalence of the condition, there is no effective yet comfortable brace available on the market until now.

Plus, tendinitis at the elbow, also technically known as epicondylitis, tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, effects up to 2% of the entire population and accounts for almost 1% of the visits to the primary care physician. Peaking at age 40-50, the condition causes discomfort, can worsen cubital tunnel syndrome, and may make playing certain sports more difficult.

BENEFITS:

  • Designed to cushion elbow area

  • Isolate point of injury from contact with brace and/or other surfaces

  • Displacing pressure/friction away from the ulnar nerve

  • It allows the point of injury a chance to heal, decompress and prevent

    further injuries from occurring.

  • Comfortable and Easy to Use

BEST TIME TO WEAR THE BRACE:

  1. Bedtime: it will maximize the time in which the brace can work. By decompressing the injured area and nerve, the brace will allow the body to heal the area and nerve without unwanted compressive injury.

  2. Sitting at a desk whether at work or at class

  3. Driving- either as a passenger or driver

  4. Flying

  5. People in debilitated state where they are in a wheelchair or bed can use the brace to prevent or treat ulnar and surrounding area injury

OBAMA: STOP Defending Islamic Terrorists!

ass

How dare Obama lecture those attending the National Prayer Breakfast about the Crusades and tell them to basically get off their high horse! This is truly an abject slap in the face to all God-loving Christians and to those who have been terrified, tortured or murdered by ISIS and other jihadist Islamic cults. His indignant comments are not only of improper taste but also of ill-conceived knowledge.

As George Santa once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. Now, to get the facts straight, the original Crusades, despite much belief, was not commissioned by the Pope to regain the holy land. After the church council in Clermont, France in 1905, Pope Urban II called upon the West to assist their Christians Brothers in the East against the barbarous Muslim Turks who were committing relentless atrocities against them.

To quote: “For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For, as the most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends”.

Sound familiar? Now just replace Muslim Turks with ISIS or Boko Haram, and you can understand how the first Crusades parallel what is occurring today, a thousand years later. The Crusades were not some grandiose land grab but instead sparked as a direct result of jihadi-like Muslim aggression. To infer otherwise is to be ignorant of history and to the Pope Urban’s original proclamation. The mission was to stop the atrocities being committed against the Eastern Christian population and put an end to Muslim aggression.

Another major problem with Obama’s statement is that he defend, if not justifies, ISIS’s behavior by implying that Christians have acted no better. The comparison is both juvenile and nearsighted. Plus it mimics the logic of an 8 year old: “My friend Billy did it when he was younger, so why can’t I?” What basis does Obama have to “get on his high horse” and lecture those at the National Prayer Breakfast? Why must he defend the jihadists by attacking Christians? I don’t see Christians burning, beheading and torturing people in Christ’s name. However, I do see the opposite in Muhammad’s.

The bottom line is that Obama is no friend to Christians, Jews or even Americans. He is  a communist/socialist sympathizer who wants America transformed into an atheist, mediocre nation without national pride, religious beliefs or any coherent identity. To argue any other point would be simply ignoring Obama’s action over the past 6 gloomy years.

Will We Now Be Eating Genetically Modified French Fries at McDonalds?

gmo1

I write this blog entry as an aside after reading a recent article in the US Times that the U.S.D.A. recently approved a genetically modified potato to be grown in the USA. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/08/business/genetically-modified-potato-from-simplot-approved-by-usda.html?_r=0

In summary the article articulates that the U.S.D.A. approved this new potato for commercial planting and that this new and improved version contains less acrylamide (which some suspect may cause cancer when fried) and was less easily bruised. Ironically, the company that will be producing this modified potato is also a major supplier of french fries to McDonalds.

Let me begin with my first skepticism about acrylamide. Though shown to cause increase the risk of cancer in rodents at high levels, no direct human connection has ever been made. Plus, a toxic level of acrylamide for human consumption has yet to be been ascertained. As a physician, I have followed medical literature for almost 2 decades and have read time and time again how many, if not most rodent medical, drug and clinical trials have no clinical relevance when dealing with humans. Thus, to make this leap of faith and undue what Mother Nature has created without hard facts is at best nearsighted and premature.

Second, what exact genes are they modifying so that the potato does not bruise? Is there a health benefit that a bruised potato possesses that we are now eradicating? Do the genes that cause bruising have some beneficial effect for the potato itself? Has anyone specifically asked these questions or looked into it before having the modified potato approved by the U.S.D.A?

Though the potato is modified using genes from the potato itself, does not mean that the exact desired effect will be achieved. What if tinkering with one of the potato’s genes causes unintended other genes to turn on or off in the process which lead to unintended consequences. What if these genetically modified potatoes are less hardy and will die more easily under temperamental environmental changes? What if these genetically modified potatoes cross germinate with other natural potatoes to produce an unwanted hybrid?

And finally, does the U.S.D.A have our, the people’s, interests in mind or are companies that produce the genetically modified foods somehow financially influencing them or our Congressmen to bring their products to the market? I don’t know, but I will make sure the next potato I eat will not be a Frankenpotato.

Obamacare Dollars Being Used to Bring Illegal Immigrants on Government Doll

kingass

To ensure years of unbridled Democratic rule and the creation of a progressive nanny state, Obama is utilizing funds appropriate by the misnamed Affordable Care Act (ACA) to lure both legal and illegal immigrants onto the government doll. By utilizing a Spanish speaking TV network Univision, Obama is using taxpayer appropriated dollars funded by the ACA to promote Obamacare to Spanish speaking people.

Worse yet, Obama is also spending our ACA appropriated money on ads televised by Univision that remind illegals to renew their Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) permits before they expire. This executive action signed by Obama with his infamous pen allows immigrant minors brought into the country illegally to stay another two years.

Those with any foresight can clearly understand what plan our unscrupulous president is attempting to undertake. With fiat amnesty around the corner after the election and more dependents on the government doll, it will ensure the Democratic Party millions upon millions of votes in upcoming elections. It will fundamentally change America and eradicate the country we know. The American dream we were taught will be no more. A land of dependency, mediocrity and adherence to the UN and a global government will begin.

Why Capitalism is Necessary- Milton Friedman

Many condemn Capitalism or chastise its outcomes. Many say that Capitalism is synonymous with greed, inequality and evil. In fact, this message that been parroted across the media and trumpeted from the White House ad nauseam over the past few years.  What is so ironic is that despite America’s success as a world power, the very means that got us there is now being demonized.

Compare the standard of living in any Capitalistic society to other non-Capitalistic run governments. The difference is both striking and appalling. Thus, it is not surprising that as America and other democratic societies embrace more socialistic policies our mean average annual income is dropping, governmental subsidies are rising and the poverty index is at an all time high. Both statistics and history don’t lie. However, no one says it better than Milton Friedman.

Thanks to Obama and his administration’s Lies America has lost her Credibility.

liar1

The triumphant proclamation by Vice President Biden that we were going to “follow them (ISIS) to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice” will go down in history as one of the hollowest promises ever made by an elected official—second only to “if you like your doctor or healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your doctor or healthcare plan”.

After hearing this speech and watching the news, I am only to assume that the gates of hell can be found in Bagdad or Kobani because we’ve followed ISIS’s successful military conquests up to this point. So Joe, what is your master plan to demoralize and annihilate ISIS? Strategic bombing? Where has that gotten us thus far? Essentially nowhere. The bottom line is if Bagdad falls, so will Iraq—as did Vietnam with the fall of Saigon.

I am not here to debate military strategy or agree or disagree with the Vice President. I write this blog to call out the man and the Obama administration on the utter emptiness of this promise. Just like the healthcare example, the Obama administration gives both the world and the American people false promises, lies and excuses.

For fun, I’ll provide a few more examples: “The Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration.” “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” “We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime.” “We reject sweeping claims of ‘inherent’ presidential power.” “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” I saved the best for last: “[T]oday I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay – and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.”

So what is the consequences of these lies? Thanks to Obama and his administration America has lost her credibility. Both domestically and abroad, our credibility crumbles by the day while our mainstream media stands idly by giving Obama a free pass. Well, there will be no free pass handed out today. America deserves better!

Stop Letting Travelers From Ebola-Infected West African Countries Into the USA Before It’s Too Late

ebola3

After a second nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital is diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus, one must question how safe we really are against this virus. Already 9 of the 16 infected physicians in a group known as Doctors without Borders have died from the disease. Plus, 2 nurses wearing state-of-the-art biohazard gear have now contracted it in Texas. In a press conference by the CDC, they mentioned that the first nurse made a simple mistake. Though the statement was said in passing and meant to shrug off a major issue, the fact remains-ANY mistake, even simple, while wearing full protective gear and coming in contact with an actively infected Ebola patient may potentially kill you.

What if someone is not wearing any protective clothing and comes into contact with an Ebola patient? How likely will they be to contract the disease? Obviously it may not be that difficult as evidenced by NBC’s cameraman Ashoka Mukpo’s acquisition of the virus. Plus, I wonder how safe it really is to transport Ebola patients into our country? Are we placing American healthcare workers in harm’s way? In addition, don’t forget about the 4000 soldiers we are sending to West Africa. How adequate is their training in deadly viral pathogens?

To make matters worse, The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that West Africa could face up to 10,000 new cases of Ebola per week in the next 2 months. As a physician, I can tell you that we are unprepared to deal with this virus. It took over 70 medical personnel to care for only 1 patient with the virus in Texas. Now 2 already came down with the disease. Plus, just taking care of this one patient requires enormous hospital resources, which are reallocated from the other sick people in these institutions. Imagine if a hospital had more than one Ebola patient? Would they be able to do it while caring for their other patients?

Mr. President, for God’s sake, secure our southern border and don’t allow any more people flying in from West Africa allowed in our country. Your PC policies are jeopardizing the health of our country.

Ebola Airport Screening Essentially Useless

screen

As many have already read, there will be new screening of passengers arriving at New York’s Kennedy International Airport who leave from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea. Besides questioning these passengers, they will have their temperature interrogated by no-touch thermometers. The screening will then expand to

Newark Liberty, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson airports. Customs says that 95 percent of people entering the United States from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea come through one of these 5 airports.

Superficially, this screening sounds both logical and possibly even effective. However, a closer inspection will clarify its major shortcomings. First, the Ebola-virus may take up to 3 weeks before an infected person may manifest any signs of the disease—including a fever. So if an infected person enters the US within the first three weeks after contracting Ebola, he or she would theoretically able to pass the temperature test and be allowed into the country. In the end, the testing will only identify those who are actively showing signs of the illness. And if they are currently showing signs of the illness, all those they were in direct contact with may have already potentially come in contact with the Ebola virus.

Many critics cite the fact that a person needs to be in direct contact with bodily fluids from an Ebola infected patient to contract the disease. In essence that is correct. However, what is not stated is that the disease can be spread through water particles. So if an infected person sneezes or coughs on a person, they could potentially be spreading the deadly virus.

Critics may also site this scenario as a simple scare tactic. However, take the example of Spanish nurse Teresa Romero. She explicitly states that although she came into contact with an Ebola patient she had NO contact with the person’s bodily fluids and does not know how she acquired the disease.

In the end, why are we allowing any person to enter the United States from Ebola infected areas? In our insane effort as a country to remain politically correct, we are jeopardizing the safety our health in the process. Plus, the screening methods we are instituting are far from effective and will do little to stop the influx of the virus into our country. Plus, heaven forbid if the virus mutates into a more virulent strain.

How did the NBC Cameraman contract the Ebola virus if it hasn’t gone Airborne?

ebola2

As a physician, a concerning story appeared recently on the news. An NBC news cameraman by the name Ashoka Mukpo recently tested positive for the Ebola virus. Traditionally, we have been taught from agencies such as the CDC that the virus is contracted ONLY through contact with the secretions or blood of an actively infected person. The disease then starts with flu-like symptoms on average of 2-3 weeks after contracting the disease. It then progresses to muscle aches, joint pains, fevers, chills, sore throat and a rash. Later and more progressive stages of the virus can cause confusion, coma, multi-organ failure and hemorrhage. Plus, with a mortality rate of 50-90%, the disease is extremely deadly.

However, one must wonder how a cameraman contracted the Ebola virus? Was he in direct contact with bodily fluids from an Ebola-infected person, or did he somehow contract the virus via a different method. Though purely speculative, one must now serious ask this question as Ashoka Mukpo is now being transported back to the USA for treatment.

Has he acquired a mutated form of the virus that is airborne? Has the virus in fact gone airborne? Are our 4,000 troops being sent to West Africa in dire danger if the virus has gone airborne? Will Ashoka Mukpo be bringing a highly contagious, airborne form of the Ebola virus back to the USA? Is our government telling us the full truth about the virus?

These are all realistic questions that must be asked. As the media fails to examine these hard hitting questions, it is up to us taxpaying American citizens to do so.
