I met Tahir Bhatti during my Ornish Lifestyle Medicine transformation at Jacobs Medical Center UCSD. Tahir would sub into our support group whenever Ozzie Gontang was traveling. He is a great teacher. "Holistic Healers, Wellness Coaches, and Life-partners, Tahir Bhatti & Ayesha Suneja  have spent the last 20 years researching, teaching and guiding others towards mind-body-spirit healing, transpersonal wellness and spiritual growth.   Originally from India and Pakistan, both Ayesha and Tahir were raised in cultures that naturally cultivated spirituality, meditation and holistic healing practices.   Their passion for integrating spirituality into their clinical work led them to further their studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation, soul consciousness and self-realization.   Due to their exposure to ancient Eastern philosophies at a young age and their extensive training in Western Medicine & Psychology, their eclectic studies are balanced in the Sciences and the Ancient Truths.     By integrating both philosophies Tahir and Ayesha have created a blend of Eastern and Western Coaching Practices that is truly unique."

Blending the science of medicine with the art of healing creates an environment throughout UC San Diego's community that not only supports the best in clinical care, but also offers opportunities for research, education and community partnerships."

Recommended by Kabir I've been enjoying this book on the subject of Positivity in the research that has been done on the construct. As it turns out there is a mathematical tipping point for when positivity in our lives moves from an inert force to one that can dramatically impact and improve the qualities of our experience. Roughly speaking this is 3 positive thoughts/emotional experiences to 1 negative thought or emotional experience. When we reach this ratio (which is above average) on a consistent basis, it has meaningful impact on our health and well-being. So I wanted to invite you to this exercise with me: Throughout your day, each time you notice a negative thought or emotion, first feel, recognize, and accept the experience, and then Complement it by recalling 3 distinct things that you are grateful for, love, or enjoy - in essence bring about 3 positive thoughts/emotional experiences. Let's see what this does for our health and well-being! :-)

"Many people who contract COVID-19 have only a mild illness, or sometimes no symptoms at all. But others develop respiratory failure that requires oxygen support or even a ventilator to help them recover [1]. It's clear that this happens more often in men than in women, as well as in people who are older or who have chronic health conditions. But why does respiratory failure also sometimes occur in people who are young and seemingly healthy? A new study suggests that part of the answer to this question may be found in the genes that each one of us carries [2]. While more research is needed to pinpoint the precise underlying genes and mechanisms responsible, a recent genome-wide association (GWAS) study, just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, finds that gene variants in two regions of the human genome are associated with severe COVID-19 and correspondingly carry a greater risk of COVID-19-related death."

"Abstract Traditional screening for COVID-19 typically includes survey questions about symptoms and travel history, as well as temperature measurements. Here, we explore whether personal sensor data collected over time may help identify subtle changes indicating an infection, such as in patients with COVID-19. We have developed a smartphone app that collects smartwatch and activity tracker data, as well as self-reported symptoms and diagnostic testing results, from individuals in the United States, and have assessed whether symptom and sensor data can differentiate COVID-19 positive versus negative cases in symptomatic individuals. We enrolled 30,529 participants between 25 March and 7 June 2020, of whom 3,811 reported symptoms. Of these symptomatic individuals, 54 reported testing positive and 279 negative for COVID-19. We found that a combination of symptom and sensor data resulted in an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 (interquartile range (IQR): 0.73-0.86) for discriminating between symptomatic individuals who were positive or negative for COVID-19, a performance that is significantly better (P 

Recommended by Kabir: "In both Love 2.0 and her earlier book, Positivity, Dr. Barbara Fredrickson describes ground breaking research on our supreme emotion, love, as well as the hidden value of all positive emotions. She encourages readers to experiment with their own lives, finding ways to create more micro-moments of love and positivity that work for them. One way to begin is to keep track of your emotions on a regular basis. Dr. Fredrickson developed the Positivity Self Test featured in her research, her books, and on this website to help you assess your current positivity ratio and track changes in your ratio over time. Just like tracking calories or cash flows can heighten your awareness and in time help you meet your fitness or financial goals, tracking your positivity ratio can help you raise your ratio and build your best future. Results may vary. Best outcomes emerge from sincere and heartfelt efforts to raise your ratio coupled with honest reports of your emotion experiences. Read more about the Positivity Self Test or take the survey here."

"N-of-1 or single subject clinical trials consider an individual patient as the sole unit of observation in a study investigating the efficacy or side-effect profiles of different interventions. The ultimate goal of an n-of-1 trial is to determine the optimal or best intervention for an individual patient using objective data-driven criteria. Such trials can leverage study design and statistical techniques associated with standard population-based clinical trials, including randomization, washout and crossover periods, as well as placebo controls. Despite their obvious appeal and wide use in educational settings, n-of-1 trials have been used sparingly in medical and general clinical settings. We briefly review the history, motivation and design of n-of-1 trials and emphasize the great utility of modern wireless medical monitoring devices in their execution. We ultimately argue that n-of-1 trials demand serious attention among the health research and clinical care communities given the contemporary focus on individualized medicine. Keywords: clinical equipoise, early-phase trials, individualized medicine, n-of-1, remote phenotyping, single patient trial, treatment repositioning, wireless health"

Dr. Michael Kurisu D.O. - This is an article that is well known in our Osteopathic community. Seems to be quite relevant in today's crisis. Although… there are several shortcomings to this article. - it was published over a century ago - it is a retrospective analysis - they did have or keep good public health data on infectivity and virulence and positive tests (We STILL DONT DO THIS!!!) - there is no documentation about what techniques used etc… Nonetheless… for an article that is over 100 years old, it IS a data point. And the data from back then shows that during Spanish influenza… the patients who saw a D.O. had a medical death rate that was 40X lower than the general population… Just another reason to have good D.Os around in the primary care workforce.

Recommended by Dr. Michael Kurisu D.O.: There is a high level of interest in integrative strategies to augment public health measures to prevent COVID-19 infection and associated pneumonia. Unfortunately, no integrative measures have been validated in human trials. Notwithstanding, this is an opportune time to be proactive. Using available in-vitro evidence, an understanding of the virulence of COVID-19, as well as data from similar, but different, viruses, we offer the following strategies to consider. Again, we stress that these are supplemental considerations to the current recommendations that emphasize regular hand washing, social distancing, stopping non-essential travel, and getting tested if you develop symptoms.
