This document "accepts" vaccination on the condition that ALL administrators of that vaccine accept that there are risks and accept personal liability for all harm they cause with their vaccine. They will not sign it because they know vaccines are hazardous. When they refuse to sign, that is their admission of risk, and, with that admi...ssion, you may rightfully refuse the vaccine. 2) Refusal of Vaccine. We may soon be facing "mandated" vaccines.

MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE DURING QUARANTINE (from a doctoral-level Psychologist in NYS with a Psy.D. in the specialties of School and Clinical Psychology) After having thirty-one sessions this week with patients where the singular focus was COVID-19 and how to cope, I decided to consolidate my advice and make a list that I hope is helpful to all. I can't control a lot of what is going on right now, but I can contribute to this. 1. Stick to a routine. Go to sleep and wake up at a ...Continue reading

With everyone cooped up at home, it can be easy for tempers to run a little hot and frustrations to be high (for you and your kids!). We get it, which is why we thought this would be the perfect time to talk about the importance of routines, especially when you’ve got nowhere to go. Even if you’re not going to school, the park, or to friend’s houses, that doesn’t mean you should give up routines. But don’t be surprised if you run into testing and manipulation when trying to b...ring routine back into the house. Your kids may not want to change out of their pajamas or clean their room, so have your counting strategy in your back pocket. Far from being bad or boring, routines will actually help your house run more smoothlywhich is something we all need right now! It may be a little challenging to get a new routine in place (or shake the rust off one you haven’t used in a few weeks), but once they have it mastered, kids tend to start doing their routines automatically. That means less yelling and nagging that you have to do and more smiles all around. As a reminder, here are the seven Start behavior tactics you can use when working on establishing a new routine (or picking up an old one) at your house: Positive reinforcement Simple requests Kitchen timers The docking system Natural consequences Charting Counting variation If you need a refresher on any of those, check out Chapter 12 in 1-2-3 Magic.

How do I find time for myself when my family is home all the time now? (Make sure you're following us to see the whole Coronavirus Manual for Parents series) . ...Human being are classified as primates. Among other things, that means that we can grasp things effectively with our hands, that we have good depth perception, and that we have big brains. Being a primate also means we are very socialwe like to live in communities and we like to monkey around with other people a lot. Social activities mean a lot to us, and we can get depressed if we’re isolated for too long a period of time. . The reverse is also true, however. Even though we’re primates, we can sometimes overdose on the social part of our lives and get too much of one another. People living under very crowded conditions often show chronic signs of stress, such as fatigue, irritability, and sleep problems. That’s a real danger right now with a lot of unusual, forced, and continual contact with other family members. Extended family may also be thrown into the mix as well, so it’s sometimes a case of I love you very much, but (even though I can’t say it out loud), I DON’T WANT TO BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME! . What to do about this bind? Let’s divide social interactions into three categories: . High Intensity Social (HIS) Activities Medium Intensity Social (MIS) Activities Low Intensity Social (LIS) Activities . HIS (High Intensity) activities involve being with several people at the same time and in the same room. Anyone can address anyone else at any time. You may be called upon to speak or respond in some other way (behavior or emotionally) at a moments notice, and often the conversations are often intense and constant. These conversations can be interesting and happybut they can also be hostile. . HIS times can be a lot of fun (like a party), but they can also take a lot of energy out of you (all day at home with family) and you may need time to recoup afterwards. But where and how?. . MIS (Medium Intensity) activities involve you and only one or two other people. Conversation may be intermittent, but it is generally not as demanding as it is in HIS situations. Silences or breaks in conversation are not awkward, and people can be in the same room but not necessarily talking to each other. Direct interactions may come and go and vary in length. . MIS situations may not be as entertaining as some HIS times, but they are less exhausting. . LIS (Low Intensity) activities are times when you’re by yourself. There is no one else present and no demands put upon you to talk, respond emotionally or behave in any certain way. . LIS situations can be very pleasant, butlike the HIS timestoo much time alone can become unpleasant, stressful and for some people a bit depressing. . The biggest variable that discriminates HIS from MIS from LIS, is the presence of, possibility of, or frequency of interpersonal demands from someone else that require responsiveness from you. So the more people around you, for example, the more likely you are to feel the pressure of an HIS-type situation. However, and this is important, certain people you may be with are naturally high demand people, and it may take only one of them to give you that strong HIS feeling. This may sound funny, but often preschoolers and adults with ADHD fall into this category. It’s hard to ignore them. They can be lots of fun but also taxing. . So What’s the Deal? . The deal is you will have many times when you will enjoy your family get-togethers. But this type of closeness is more frequent during these coronavirus times, and these occasions will more and more tend to feel like HIS pressure. Furthermore, overdosing on family can be a big mental health mistake. Too much forced togetherness can turn moms and dads into witches who are crabby, depressing and no fun to be with. . The solution: Up the ante on your MIS and LIS times. If there can be another adult or even an older competent child at home, instead of going food shopping with the whole family or with both kids (HIS), take just one of the children (MIS) or go by yourself and extend the trip (LIS). Sit in the grocery store parking lot and read, or take a walk with music playing in your earbuds. The main thing is this: Your mental health requires, ideally, a couple of hours of LIS time each day. . Warning: There are lots of creative solutions to getting more time alone, but the main factor that usually restricts parental creativity and initiative here is guilt. We are trained that family fun is the ideal, and taking alone time for your-self is just that: self-ish! . But here’s my guarantee: For every minute you get of time alone each day (LIS), or for every minute of MIS time (with just one other family member or friend), you will be that much easier to live with for everybody else. Start with a family meeting to inform people thatfrom now onyou will be unavailable for certain chunks of time during each day. . Good luck and enjoy the peace! .

As global COVID-19 infections continue to increase rapidly, Dr. Seheult continues his discussion on possible strategies to promote a robust immune system, including a nod to the past with hydrotherapy techniques. Interestingly, these techniques were used during the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and there are reports about a significant benefit to patients who participated. Initiating studies or attaining data from randomized controlled trials for techniques practiced in the pre-antibiotic era is a challenge.

Shelter In Place has been extended through May 3. I will continue to be available for TeleHealth Sessions in order to support current and new clients.

A sweet aid to save your arm and keep comfortable while having a TeleHealth session.

Here are the facts: Coronavirus usually begins with a sniffle, like you are getting a cold. Within days, you feel like you’ve got the flu, with a high fever, ac...hes and pains. Sometimes you can feel like you are recovering - until the pneumonia starts. Your lungs can’t get enough oxygen and you develop crepitance, when your lungs crackle because there’s not enough surfactant (soapy oils). Think of a balloon that’s wet on the inside. Because the virus also attacks the heart, pericarditis can also occur in the late stages, leading to cardiogenic shock and death due to cardiac arrest. As of March 16th, more than 6,400 people globally have died. There are more than 164,000 confirmed cases in at least 146 countries/territories, according to the World Health Organization. Fatality rates vacillate between 0.7% and 6% depending on the number of tests that are taken and the number of critical care units still available in the region. The R0, the number of people a carrier infects, is between 2 to 4. That means that for every 1 person that contracts the virus, at least 2 to 4 will become infected. In the US, we expect a doubling of cases every six days. That means we are looking at about 1 million cases by the end of April. Then 2 million by May 7 Then 4 million by May 13 We are no longer able to wipe this virus off the face of the planet by containment, so currently, the strategy is two-fold flatten and delay: 1. We need to flatten the curve rate of infection to help ease the pressure on our healthcare system. We need young people especially to help us fight this by staying inside and self quarantining. 2. Somewhere between 33% and 75% of us will catch this disease at some point, unless we can delay it until a vaccine trial is successful, which is another 18 months away, assuming it does work. I am hopeful but, until then, we have to live with corona. Ultimately, we will get to what’s called a herd immunity. That means that enough of us have developed a resistance to COVID-19 that the R0 is less than one. When that happens, the virus should eventually peter out. Droplets, skin contact, surfaces, and food seem to be how it’s transmitted. Fomites (surfaces that spread disease) can infect you 24-96 hours after someone has contaminated it, depending on whether it is steel or plastic. What seems to work is chloroquine (a malarial drug doctors in China showed in small trials did help, though this is now apparently questioned by recent experience in the Western world), and there’s a 50% chance remdevisir, an investigational broad-spectrum antiviral treatment that seems to help with MERS in animal tests, will also help. Doctors are prescribing remdevisir off-label. Treatments that doctors say don’t work are colloidal silver, ganciclovir and related antivirals, antiinflammatory steroids such as prednisolone, and there’s new caution out of France being placed on ibuprofen (needs verification). Acetaminophen seems fine to use at home but not in large amounts and never should be taken with alcohol. Tamiflu seems to suppress the virus' reproduction in at least some cases which is somewhat surprising as Tamiflu was designed to target an enzyme on the influenza virus, not on coronaviruses. Stay safe out there. Even better, don’t be out there if you can avoid it. David
