Please read Dr. Bartiss’s message to patients

Key Goals for the U.S. healthcare system in response to the COVID-19 outbreak are to:

  1. Reduce morbidity and mortality
  2. Minimize disease transmission
  3. Protect healthcare personnel
  4. Preserve healthcare system functioning

Steps we are taking to reduce risks are as follows:

  1. Limiting visitors to our facility. At this time only the patient can enter. Please don’t bring any children, friends or family with you to your appointment.
  2. Rescheduling non-urgent visits.
  3. Patients that have any respiratory symptoms are asked to stay home.
  4. We are screening patients for symptoms before entering our facility. Patients are asked to call us from their car when they arrive. One of our Medical Assistants will come and check their temperature and check for any symptoms.
  5. If you have recently been traveling you may be asked to wear a mask.

CORONAVIRUS 2020   PART ONE

I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW………

After reading the debunked theories on the COVID-19 virus I have to agree with Dr. Centeno- the physician whose information I have paraphrased in this piece in regarding some of the biggest misleading, fear inflicting misconceptions derived from the misinterpretation of available data.

I have for many years, often questioned the reliability of dozens of medical studies done throughout the 4 decades of my medical career because of how the end results of the raw data were (mis)interpreted to favor those that are funding the study.  With that being said, let me share with you our common thoughts and opinions as well as sensible deductions of what is behind the existing pandemic that has taken the world by the testicles and is slowly squeezing just enough to scare the hell out of most of us to prepare for the apocalypse.

NO NEED TO PANIC:

This is not to say that there should not be concern or that we should not prepare for the worst and hope and pray for the best.  How many times have natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and the like, take us by surprise? Despite sometimes adequate warning. By ignoring the potential threat would be stupid, just as is increasing the “drama” that is being presented by the media.

I must say that after being a doctor for nearly 40 years, I have not seen so much anxiety and misguided negative energy being placed on any medical condition, including the days of HIV, or even the catastrophe of 911 than I have seen and have experienced with COVID-19.  I freely mention this because of the fear, questions, concerns, comments and reactions made by my family, friends, patients and medical colleagues surrounding this “enabling pandemic”.

 

If suspicion is correct regarding the virulence of the COVID-19 virus, it could easily overwhelm health care systems globally.  Fueling this fire however is the amount of misinformation that is spinning out of control. If we focus on the actual hard data, it paints a different picture than what the worldwide media is portraying.

Let’s look at a few well-known world medical statistical facts and call it “REAL News”

  1. In 2017, 56 million people died worldwide. This is approximately equal to 153,425 people dying daily from all causes. (Please note although we all have to die sometime from something, the causes of death over the past century has changed as a result of improved living conditions, healthcare advances as well as lifestyle changes.)
  2. The leading killer consuming approximately 31% of all worldwide deaths is attributed to cardiovascular diseases, followed by cancers of all types (17%.)
  3. Diarrheal Diseases claimed 1.6 million deaths in 2017, being one of the leading causes of death in children under five years old. (Many of these deaths could have been avoided through prevention such as improve water supply, sanitation and hygiene, and hydrating children when they are ill.)
  4. Accidents also fall in the upper percentage of the most common causes of death globally is suicide. Interestingly, the number of deaths from suicide is higher than the number of deaths from all forms of violence, including homicide, terrorism, conflict and executions! Does this mean (at least statistically) we are our own worst enemy. Getting back to the stats:
  5. The average seasonal flu kills between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide each year. As of the time of this writing, COVID-19 has infected a total of 297,635 people (reportable cases) worldwide taking 12,831 lives thus far. In America, there has been a total of 22,213 total cases with 283 deaths. In the USA the calculated death rate from the available raw data is 1.3%.
  • The CDC estimates that from October 1, 2019 to March 7, 2020 there has been between 36,000 and 51,000 flu illnesses resulting in between 17,000,000 and 24,000,000 medical visits, between 370,000 and 670,000 hospitalizations and between 22,000 and 50,000 deaths.   So why all this PANIC?  It is likely yet another ploy to make news is being fueled by the media continually providing “Fake News”.  Recently even the highly respected physician Sanjay Gupta (for whom I am a dear fan I hold him in the highest regard) recently mis reported the actual death rate for which he correctly revised his previous statement in a recent televised interview.  I doubt with all my heart and regards that the good doctor intentionally misstated the actual death rate, but the damage was already done. Millions of people- infected, exposed and non-exposed individuals worldwide were led to believe that we had another plague. Its no wonder why so many people of all walks of life, professions and intelligence are freaking 

COVID-19 MYTH LIST:

1. The mortality rate of coronavirus is 2-3%!

This has been reported many times. Most recently by Sanjay Gupta who should know better. At a White House press conference, Dr. Sanjay Gupta said, “the flu has a fatality rate of about 0.1%, this has a fatality rate of somewhere between 2-3%…”

 

COVID-19 DOES NOT have a 2-3% mortality rate. That number comes from the Chinese Wuhan data. The issue is that that number represents mostly sick people tested for the disease versus total deaths. Regrettably, that’s NOT how a mortality rate is calculated, which uses all that have contracted the disease as the denominator.

The outside of Wuhan mortality, where there was wider testing of most that had contracted the disease, was 0.4% based on a report published by the Chinese CDC.  Mortality on the Princess Cruise outside Japan (the only place so far where you can be sure that you tested all exposed in a closed environment), was 0.85% and only those over 70 died. In South Korea, which has tested more than 100,000 people, the case fatality rate is 0.65%. Germany has announced its mortality rate is 0.2%. So, what’s the real mortality rate? Time will tell but only if accurate raw data is used.  I would guess in America less than 2%. Oh, and btw, the likely explanation for the higher death rate in Italy?  For one is that the average age of those who have died is much higher than in other countries as well as a few other possibilities mentioned further in this presentation.……

  1. Coronavirus is aerosolized, and the flu is not, hence the spread of this disease is much more than the flu.

This is almost like a trick question.  We all know that the measles virus is aerosolized meaning that it can last a long period of time- as opposed to seconds like the flu or the COVID-19.  The reason is that the measles virus can dissipate into small particles that can be suspended in the air like (and attach to) dust particles.  In this way even being exposed to someone in an elevator would likely transmit the disease.  Droplet transmission is different and although there is some movement of particles within the air, it drops quickly and will remain “active” for several hours on various surfaces thus the need to wipe things down and wash hands frequently to avoid spread of the disease.  Unfortunately, the words aerosolized and airborne are used synonymously and can be confusing for us all since some epidemiologists and researchers do not regard them as the same type of viral transmission.

  1. Coronavirus survives MUCH longer on surfaces than the flu virus, which is up to 9 days on plastic!

This rumor was started by the Washington Post and is also not accurate as written.

First, for comparison, the flu virus survives on hard surfaces for about 9 hours and several hours in fluid droplets (aerosols) in the air, with low temperatures increasing the survival of the virus in these droplets. Many respiratory viruses die off as the temperature goes up. This is why the flu season is in the winter.

At this point, according to the CDC, there is no evidence that Coronavirus is spread by surface contact. The Washington Post article was based on a statement in the conclusion of a research study that found that on most surfaces, other coronaviruses (NOT the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19) survived various lengths of time from hours to days. The study that reported that a coronavirus could survive for 9 days on plastic really didn’t say that exactly. While that research showed that a different coronavirus survived for 9 days on plastic, by 48 hours the viral load was 10,000 times less! Ergo, “survives” is a relative term. In fact, another study included in the same review paper showed a similar coronavirus only “practically survived” for 2-3 days on plastic, meaning the viral load was falling steeply after that time.

So how “spreadable” is this virus? The data from the Princess Cruise (Japan), a closed environment where you have almost 4,000 people that live in one space for 2 weeks and infected people touch all sorts of shared surfaces, shows that only about 20% of the people on the ship were positive. Given that COVID-19 spreads through water droplets from coughing and noting that cruise ships are known to spread respiratory viruses I would deduce that the infectivity rate for COVID-19 was typical for the average flu or cold virus.

On the other side of that argument is a new study out of China which has not been peer-reviewed yet. This suggests that the coronavirus is more contagious than the flu. It will be interesting to see how this paper fares in the stringent peer-review process. However, it’s critical to look at data from both sides of this argument.

  1.    The coronavirus will ramp up in the US over the next few months and by summer we will become China, a country on lockdown with millions of cases and our health system will crash.

Blogger Liz Specht gets a raspberry for getting this one out there. She reported that by May we would have some 5.4 million cases in the U.S. using her pandemic math. The problem is that Liz isn’t a physician, so she seems to have missed this graph put out by the CDC, but this is how chaos and misinformation becomes believable “Fake News”.

The peak months of U.S. viral flu transmission (which this virus will follow as well as its primary spread is aerosolization through coughing) are December through March. This is because the survival of viruses in water droplets falls off the map when the temps heat up. Note that in the 36 years (1982-2018) we have never had a flu peak in April or May. This pattern is seen for other viruses as well.

  1. 5. Forget about China, the real disaster is Italy!

It’s hard to get much data on Italy at this point. We do know that Italy as of this writing has 53,578 coronavirus cases and has had 4825 deaths.  If these stats are correct that represents a 9% death rate. So, while it’s true that the numbers look awful and their health system is seriously overtaxed (the reports are that they are running low on critical ventilators), an interesting bit of information was reported by the BBC. The Italian health ministry says that the average age of death for Coronavirus is 81.4 years. Why is that number VERY important? It means that the data out of Italy so far is following the information we have from the Princess Cruise ship. The mortality is clustering around the very old, which is the same for the flu.

  1. If you have cold symptoms, you probably have the coronavirus!

The main symptoms of COVID-19 are not the sniffles or a runny nose or sneezing. The main symptoms are a fever (low grade to start-100.4 and a dry cough with or without shortness of breath.

Listen to the CDC and get yourself tested if you have symptoms. Observe strict quarantine protocols if you test positive. If you’re sick and unsure, just stay home. In the meantime, wash your hands, take a deep breath, get plenty of rest, eat well, keep hydrated and think about what your life could be if you develop a more positive outlook.  Educate yourself on options including ozone and other Bio-Oxidative Therapies.  Remember: You Are Your Own Best Healthcare Provider and  If You Ignore Your Health, It Will Leave You….. 

 

Part Two:

CORONAVIRUS 2020

The Coronavirus is an RNA flu virus, similar to the SARS virus, that mutates very quickly to adapt to its host and usually can be traced back to wild animals. Because some citizens of China (and other countries) eat bats or pangolins, these types of viruses have oftentimes originated from China in the last decades. The relatively recent increase in travel to and from China has facilitated the spread of the virus to other countries.

The coronavirus affects mostly middle-aged men (around 45 years of age, with a mortality of 0.3%). Individuals over 65 with some pre-existing health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes display the highest mortality rate, around 2%-3% (the common flu’s mortality rate is 0.092%). It is evident that these statistics are not any where near what has been presented worldwide on the coronavirus maps.  With that in mind what could be the cause of such a difference in what once was a believed statistic for this viral infection and what appears to be a completely different statistical difference?  Could it be that the virus is gaining speed and virility day by day?  Could it be wrong data being supplied to offset the numbers and if so why?  Only time will tell the true statistics when epidemiologists take a good long look at what is happening worldwide and hopefully will present true facts.  (To better understand what I am offering in terms of food for thought between the lines, look into the real reasons that smallpox was eliminated from the face of the earth.

For now, let us all unite and do what we can as individuals as well as a united nation in preventing the spread of what has become public enemy number one.

The best way to protect yourself from this virus is to wash your hands often, and to not touch your eyes, nose and mouth before washing your hands. The coronavirus symptoms are: fever, a dry cough, slight nasal congestion and strong muscular pains. The incubation period can last up to three weeks and after the onset of symptoms, the evolution of the flu is quite fast. Those who end up having complications are not able to get through the two-day mark at home should be hospitalized.

Dear patients, family, friends and citizens throughout America.  As we all are aware but may not agree, the world has become obsessed with fear of the corona virus and its virility in consuming multiple lives throughout the globe. It is because of this unfounded and unrealistic fear that the medical staff at ICAM needs to share with you our knowledge about the coronavirus viruses associated with this “superbug”. Although I am not denying there will be thousands of deaths caused by the consequences of developing this virus, I do not agree there will be a death count or death rate significantly higher than that of the yearly flu.

Since the news of COVID-19 has hit the homes of nearly every person in the world that has access to any form of media, the cash registers have not stopped playing their short-lived financial melody “cha ching”!  People are stocking up on all unnecessary items and the vendors are inflating prices that are being paid by the frightened misinformed consumers.  To make matters worse, the devil is out there taking advantage of the situation promoting useless remedies that claim will kill the coronavirus in its steps after only a few doses.  And why not try these snake oil remedies since they come with a money back guarantee?  They also claim that the product was tested in a private lab and 99 out of 100 doctors nationwide interviewed agree that this product is better than all the other popular over the counter items tested.  My friends, let me give you some advice and it is only three letters. (I apology to those of you who are expecting a four-letter word from me…).  R-U-N!!!!!!!

In addition to preaching and carrying out the principles of safe “social isolation”, when needed to address a loved one infected with this and other infections and chronic illnesses, try to find one of the “one in one hundred docs” that are not following the traditional mainstream thoughts, opinions and unbeknownst to most of them,  “conspiracies” taught to them as “Real Medicine” in their countless years of medical education.   Don’t think that we minority “outside the box” progressive thinking men and women (physicians) are stupid.  We are not. Perhaps a bit eccentric but not stupid.  Nor, should you think that we are a group of money seeking non validating practitioners taking advantage of those who are desperate and will seek out therapies of any kind at a chance to extend your life.  Most of us are not that type either.  Rather we are a small group of physicians and medical practitioners that understand that by addressing the cause of illness rather than the symptoms associated with an illness will provide for better results.  Maybe we one in a hundred (more likely one in ten thousand physicians that don’t agree with the others, know something the other ten thousand don’t!!!  I like to think of myself and the group of esteemed colleagues I associate with are of this breed.  Unfortunately, at least in America, I would estimate that of the 1.1 million doctors practicing medicine in The United States, less than 1% have any clue as to the value of the principles, safety and efficacy that Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapies have to offer.  In fact, nearly all of them are closed minded and blind to even the possibility that something outside mainstream medicine could possibly help a patient’s illness or provide a cure for any condition if their therapies have been unsuccessful.  It is this naivety that leads to the lack of progress.  Or at least the lack of progress going in the right direction.  Okay enough of that for now and let’s go on and talk more on CORONA.  Those who know me know that I am quite the connoisseur when it comes to BEER.

Billions of dollars are expected to be “spent” albeit wasted or exploited may better fit the situation on determining the mode of transmission, virility, prevention and treatment involved with being infected with the coronavirus aka COVID-19.  Many more billions will be lost because of the social and financial consequences of community, state and federal shutdowns.  Unfortunately, the quarantine is expanding worldwide and is affecting global economy.  In my opinion, the major losses felt worldwide will be more of a financial burden than that of a medical mishap.  Please do not misinterpret that even one death is an acceptable number.  I am simply stating that once the dust settles, what will be remember more than the amount of deaths that will be taken and the medical consequences of being infected by COVID-19 will be negligible when compared to the financial impact it will prove to have had on not only American citizens but the population (globally) at large.  Only time will tell through what is known as History. For what it’s worth, my prediction for what will finally put an end to this pandemic will not be FEAR or a vaccine nor will it be an old or new medication.  It won’t (solely) be “social isolation” through quarantine. Rather it will be through Mother Nature.  She will determine when it will end just as she does for the yearly flu.    HOWEVER, there is no harm in helping her do her job by being prudent and following the recommendations set forth by the CDC and other local and federal medical agencies.  By taking undue risks you put everyone around you at risk.  The safest measure is to develop and maintain the mindset and actions of thinking of others first before you do anything.  Prevention is The Answer.   The Best Treatment for Any Disease is Not To Contract it in The First Place.

Below is a common list of recommendations that we should all follow to try to keep the virus contained so that it doesn’t pick up momentum and devastate more lives than are “necessary”.  At ICAM we have rules that we update on a twice a day schedule that will keep our staff and patients as safe as possible by avoiding any unnecessary contact and offering immune boosting therapies to those who are asymptomatic and want such “preventive assurance”.  We have areas in the building set aside for this particular reason allowing for “isolation” from those that may be carriers.  We even “bomb” our office with a high-tech sterilization procedure utilized in many hospital operating rooms.  Even these measures are no guarantee that the virus is not lurking.  Although we are still seeing patients at our ICAM offices that are in need of medical attention, we are asking that all patients if they are able, to reschedule their appointments or consider a telephone consult.  Together we can make a difference and help put this bug into a deep sleep and hopefully a coma.

A message to our patients:

ICAM is committed to ensuring the safety and health of our employees, patients and visitors during the recent outbreak of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). We are continuing to ensure we do our part to minimize and exposure. Our goal is to remain up to date and consistent with the recommendations as they pertain to our local communities and our patients. As such, we are taking the following precautions:

  • Every patient, visitor and staff member will be screened with a series of questions before they enter our offices.
  • If any patient, visitor or staff member fails the screening questions, they will not be allowed into our offices.
  • We are requesting that patients limit the number of visitors that accompany them to our offices.

Take Precautions to Protect Yourself from COVID-19

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/summary.html)

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • Stay home when you’re sick
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty

So, What Other Measures or Supplements May Help Prevent Us From Contracting COVID-19 or Minimize Symptoms Once We Have Been Infected?

  1. Wash Your Hands with Soap and Water Frequently
  2. Avoid Unnecessary Contact with your Face
  3. Vitamin C: I would recommend taking 1000mg twice daily during the epidemic. But if this dose causes bowel intolerance cut back to 500 mg twice daily.  If you are on a recommended higher dose, please continue that dose.
  4. Vitamin A 100,000 units daily for ten days
  5. Vitamin D3 1,000 units per pound of body weight as a single daily dinner dose for ten days (i.e. 175,000 units if you weigh 175 pounds)
  6. Zinc 25mg for ten days. Do not use zinc in high doses (above 18 mg) for prolonged periods of times as it may lead to a copper deficiency
  7. Curcumin
  8. Probiotics
  9. Colloidal Silver (no more than 20 ppm)
  10. Consider Hydrogen Peroxide via nebulizer for respiratory symptoms

Okay so something that the world has been waiting for, a possible CURE or “antidote” to this global pest.  Why aren’t they trying to find one?  How is it that the World Health Organization with the intelligence and experience of the highest proclaimed scientific minds unable to resolve this problem?  Is it because it mutates so frequently?  Is it because there is no money to allot in finding this miracle cure?  Or, is it possible that politically the world powers do not want eradication at this time?   Is it possible that some of the most powerful leaders in the world are unaware that there is an answer to the problem which can prevent, limit and cure an established case of COVID-19?  Well if that is true, why aren’t we at the very least, looking into the validity of this statement?  Do you remember the scare around HIV?  Well, years ago at the times of these outbreaks a form of Bio-Oxidative Therapy known as OZONE Therapy was shown to have eliminated these viruses and kill it within a human body which resulted in decrease transmission as well as decreased death rates.  It was not a vaccination that put the rates of HIV “under control” but more so social awareness as well as newer drugs.  But, before the advent of these newer drugs, OZONE THERAPY was shown to have promise in treating these infected patients.  How about EBOLA?  Nearly a half decade ago, two heroic colleagues of mine namely, Drs. Rowen and Robbins, at the request of the government in Sierra Leone brought ozone to a small village to test the effects of this therapy on the deadly infection.  Guess what?  It worked!! Despite this the government negated its safety and efficacy and the doctors where ridiculed and banned from further using the therapy.  Fortunately, they had trained a handful of physicians that were able to perform the therapy at a cost of under three dollars per treatment which  thousands of dollars of equipment and supplies had been donated by the members and friends of the ozone community from not only America but worldwide.  If ozone can eliminate Ebola, the most lethal disease ever known, and AFTER symptoms appear, why not coronavirus?

It is not the purpose of this article to discuss the politics behind silencing one of medicines best kept secrets rather to alert you to the fact that there are therapies available right now throughout the world that could end the upcoming life tragedies that will ensue over the next several months from the ails of COVID-19.  Suffice it to say that it is likely that Big Pharma is involved as well as other political agendas.  I state this because the use of ozone therapy has been utilized and “legitimized” in many other countries including third world, yet it appears that there has not been a reported case of a trial of therapy being given.  Why would anyone hold back such a therapy that has an essentially no adverse side effects as proven in over twenty million therapies?  Let’s just hope that there are ozone therapies being administered in these and other countries (including our own) that are simply being kept on the “QT.”

HOW DOES OZONE WORK AS A MEDICAL THERAPY?  IN A NUTSHELL:

Ozone inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus and protozoa; stimulates the immune system, cleans arteries and veins, improves circulation, purifies the blood and lymph, normalizes hormone and enzyme production, reduces inflammation, reduces pain, calms the nerves, stops bleeding, prevents shock, prevents stroke damage, reduces cardiac arrhythmia, improves brain function and memory, oxidizes toxins, allowing their excretion, chelates heavy metals; it works well in conjunction with EDTA, prevents and reverses degenerative diseases, prevents and treats communicable diseases, prevents and eliminates auto-immune diseases AND MORE………….

For those of you that are interested in reading the published literature regarding the use of ozone and Ebola as well as the latest published article on COVID-19 and ozone therapy, click the links below.

In addition, we ask for your help in establishing numbers by having you sign-should you wish, a petition in attempts to make Washington DC open their eyes to this available therapy.  We have power in numbers, and we could use your help.  Remember that Ozone Therapy is not just for an epidemic/pandemic but rather a viable safe and effective therapy for nearly all medical conditions including prevention.  You owe it to yourself to educate yourself on the principles and miracles of ozone therapy.

Family, friends, enemies, patients and impatience……  below is a message sent to several of my ozone colleagues to assist in getting the politicians to open up their eyes and minds to at the very least, look into what ozone has to offer for the pandemic that is affecting the world.  The modality used for this ozone procedure would be very inexpensive-literally a few dollars in medical costs-plus practitioners time, but also very safe and minimal medical waste disposal used.  the therapy takes under ten minutes per patient and can be used preventively as well as therapeutically.  It Is Called DIV or direct IV ozone.  It has been perfected by Dr. Howard Robbins and will be taught to all physicians wishing to learn the therapy in a worldwide webinar over the next week or so.  Hopefully at least in America someone will be able to influence a political figure as to the value of this inexpensive and lifesaving therapy.  We need Your Help!!!  This could change health care in America if we could only open the minds and eyes of the powers that be…….  Thank You in Advance for your cooperation……mjb

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/fund-research-ozone-therapy-viable-means-fight-viral-infections-such-coronavirus

Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to the articles from Drs. Rowen and Robins regarding Ozone use in Ebola as well as their recent publication in the Journal of Infectious Disease using DIV in the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Should my website/social media administrator be able to find a way to do this great if not contact the office and request a copy be sent to your email directly…..sorry for the inconvenience…mark

ADDENDUM:  Since the past two weeks we have had numerous phone calls from established as well as unestablished ICAM patients from various parts of the country requesting information regarding the various immune boosting IV drips we have available at ICAM.  If you are interested in finding out more about these drips, please look at our website.  In addition, I will attempt to put in short videos regarding the various drips we have who benefits from which ones.  The problem is if we will be able to offer these drips over the next few weeks during the shutdown.   We also have to protect our immune compromised patients with Cancer, Lyme, Auto Immune Diseases and the like from contracting COVID-19, Flu or any other infectious agents that may be spread through patient contact.  To do this we have designated areas to treat them as well as others that are not immune compromised.

All patients will be screened and if found to have the least possibility of having an infectious disease will be turned down therapy for that day and possibly be advised to be tested or further screened.

We will have many different therapies available for prevention of COVID-19 or the Flu such as our HOCATT, Far Infrared Sauna, Various forms of Ozone Insufflation (Auricular-ear, Rectal, Vaginal and Inhalation through olive oil).  We will be offering the Hyperbaric Multipass IV Ozone as well as MAH/UBI and for those interested in a new form of therapy- IV Low Level Laser.

These therapies take between twenty and 90 minutes to receive and you may have more than one therapy at one sitting.  For more details on the cost and the availability of these therapies please contact the office at (609) 978-9002.

AGAIN:  The main symptoms of COVID-19 are not the sniffles or a runny nose or sneezing. The main symptoms are a fever (low grade to start-100.4 and a dry cough with or without shortness of breath.  Should you have these symptoms you are encouraged to contact your PCP or local health agency for where to go for testing.  If you do not have these symptoms do not go to testing sites or the hospital as they will likely turn you away.  There is not a limitless surplus of test kits so ONCE AGAIN-THINK OF OTHERS FIRST, YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE…….

Listen to the CDC and get yourself tested if you have symptoms. Observe strict quarantine protocols if you test positive. If you’re sick and unsure, just stay home. In the meantime, wash your hands, take a deep breath, get plenty of rest, eat well, keep hydrated and think about what your life could be if you develop a more positive outlook.  Educate yourself on options including ozone and other Bio-Oxidative Therapies.  Remember: You Are Your Own Best Healthcare Provider and If You Ignore Your Health, It Will Leave You….. 

Coronavirus … Panic or Pandemic?

By Ty & Charlene Bollinger
March 20, 2020

For those of you who are more of the belief that coronavirus is more of a hoax then click on this and read in its entirety.  Remember that the contents of what is in this script may not reflect the opinion of myself nor that of the ICAM Staff.

https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/coronavirus-panic-pandemic/?mpweb=144-8705564-676642835

BOTTOM LINE:  Practice Social Distancing and common-sense hand washing and hygiene.  Avoid unnecessary large gatherings and do what you can to optimize and maintain your immune system.  Think of others before thinking of yourself and don’t over purchase unless you are talking about alcohol.  You will need something to do for the next 4-6 weeks until this nightmare vanishes after which we will all have more pleasant dreams and begin to rebuild just as we have after other natural disasters.

There are rumors circulating around our communities of a shortage of medications including antibiotics to treat associated bacterial infections as well as a limited supply of other traditionally used anti-infective agents.  I personally know that in my community we have a shortage of masks, gloves, Kleenex, hand sanitizers, toilet paper and even worse….BEER!!!

You will need something to do for the next 4-6 weeks until this nightmare vanishes after which we will all have more pleasant dreams and begin to rebuild just as we have after other natural disasters.   Catch up on house cleaning and bond with your family.  Pray for others and develop and maintain a positive outlook.  I hear it can be contagious- but in a good and healthy way….We all know that personally I could use some of that……..

In the meantime, Be Safe, Be Well and God Bless.

Yours in Health,

Mark and the entire staff at ICAM  (submitted 3-21-20)
