Healthcare 2023 will show an increase in technology & use of Telemedicine services with a decrease in brick and mortor healthcare visits. During 2023 we will see an increase in the ability of physicians to practice medicine with less dependence on corporations as physician groups continue to unionize and devise other methods to regain control of medical decision making here in the U,S.. ENOUGH ALREADY! The vast majority of Americans are fed up with our healthcare system with decisions being made on their health being politically and financially motivated. All are fed up having to pay higher and higher insurance premiums with higher and higher co-pays and deductibles, difficulty getting in touch with their doctors, an increase in the time required to set up and get payment approval for medically necessy tests and medications………… And as fot Covid 19 year 2023 Covid 19 Treatment 2023 continues to be be successful, safe and remains “unchanged sonce 2019”.

Covid 19, '2023 update:

NOTE THAT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WITHOUT EXCEPTION, ONLY TO BE INSTITUTED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. AVOID COUGH SUPPRESSANTS (explained furter below:?Coughing?is one of the body's most basic defense mechanisms. We?cough?to expel foreign particles AND PATHOGENS SUCH AS COVID 19 from our respiratory?system, (for those placed on vents during the height of the pandemic, they thus often had a one out of ten chance of surviving).

?

COVID 19 TREATMENT IN OUTPATIENT SETTINGS, WHEN INDICATED, TO AVOID HOSPITALIZATION (note that many if not most individuals are able to fight off this virus using their bodies own immune defenses.

1- ANTIBIOTICS, when indicated only?(TO PREVENT OVERGROWTH OF THE BACTERIA THAT NORMALLY LIVE IN US WITHOUT CAUSING US HARM BUT, (when we become weak for numerous reasons which include becoming infected with the Covid 19 Virus) THESE BACTERUM CAN GROW TOABNORMAL HARMFUL NUMBERS AND CAUSE A BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA WHICH MANY COVID 19 INFECTED PEOPLE DIED FROM. ?WHEN ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT IS INDICATED, A ZPK (ZITHROMAX, AZITHROMYCIN) OR DOXYCYCLINE, HAS WORKD WELL FOR MY PATIENTS.

2- STEROIDS- A SHORT COURSE OF LOW DOSE STEROIDS, STARTED EARLY, WORK TO INHIBIT THE DESTRUCTIVE INFLAMMATION TO LUNG TISSUE CAUSED BY THE COVID 19 VIRUS, WITHOUUT INHIBITING ONE'S IMMUNE SUSTEM. I FIND, AS DO MANY PRACTICING PHYSICIANS I SPEAK WITH, THAT PREDNISONE 20MG, WEANIG DOSE STARTING WITH 3XS DAILY FOR THE FIRST THREE DAYS (19 TABLETS) OVER THE COURSE OF 10 DAYS WORKS WELL IN PATIENTS IN WHOM STEROIDS ARE NOT CONTRAINDICATED (and when indicated).

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY, DESPITE MANY PHYSICIANS IN PRACTICE USING THIS PROTOCOL OF MINE TO SUCCESSFULLY TREAT COVID 19 PATIENTS WHEN INDICATED, AT A COST OF ABOUT ONLY TWENTY DOLLARS HAS NOT BEEN OFFICILLY APPROVED BY THE CDC & FDA. I’M NOT STATING ANYTHING AGAINST USING THE EXPENSIVE TREATMENTS (DRIPS & PILLS) THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO TEAT COVID 19, APPROVED ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS WITHOUT UNDERGOING TRADITIONAL SAFETY CLINICAL TRIALS. I’M JUST WONDERING WHY A CHEAP TREATMENT THAT MANY OF US PRACTICING PHYSICIANS HAVE USED AND KNOW THAT WORKS WITHOUT HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED (WHEN INDICATED IN MILDER CASES JUST AS THE MORE EXPENSIVE TREATMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR USE)? ?HUMM! (It just seems weird- Paxlovid treatment, 5 days of these pills for example costs $530, vs. a $20 treatment? And there are so many variants these pills and vaccines have to be formulated to attack. Oh well, I’m not a Scientist, just a physician. So, to continue:

3- A HAND HELD INHALER, SUCH AS THOSE USED BY ASTHMATICS TO OPEN UP OUR AIRWAYS, ALLOWING MORE OXYGEN IN AND INCREASING ONE'S ABILITY TO COUGH UP THE MUCUS AND PHLEGM CARRING THE COVID 19 VIRUS THAT SETTLES DEEP DOWN RIGHT ABOVE AND INTO LUNG TISSUE. I (and many practicing physicians) FIND THAT ALBUTEROL INHALER 2 PUFFS 3XS DAILY FOR 5 TO 7 DAYS WORKS WELL WNEN INDICATED.

4- PULSE OXIMETRY- HAVING THIS CLOTHESPIN LIKE DEVICE THAT FITS ON YOUR FINGER AND GIVES YOU A READING OF YOUR OXYGEN LEVEL IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO MONITOR YOURSELF AND RAISE YOUR OXYGEN LEVEL WHEN YOU SEE IT FALLING. I RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR READIND AT 95 OR ABOVE (GOES TO 100). I INSTRUCT MY PATIENTS TO MOVE AROUND (NOT TO LIE FLAT IN BED OR TO SIT WITH BACK LEANING AGAINST A CHAIR FOR LONG PERIODS BOTH OF WHICH ALLOW MUCUS CONTAINING VIRUS TO SETTLE ON LUNG TISSUE) AND TO COUGH REPEATIVELY AND DEEPLY TO LOOSEN, BRING UP AND SPIT OUT MUCUS. THIS ALWAYS WORKS TO RAISE OXYGEN LEVELS WHEN THEY FALL BELOW 95.

5- HYDRATION;?FLUIDS HELP TO KEEP MUCUS AND PHLEGM LOOSE AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO COUGH UP

?

**********************************************************************

THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ONLY TO BE DONE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF YOUR PHYSICIAN. PATIENTS SHOULD, OF COURSE, ALWAYS CONTACT THEIR DOCTOR IF THEY TEST POSITIVE AND BECOME ILL. THE FOLLOWING ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS. I'M JUST SHARING WITH ALL WHAT I HAVE FOUND TO WORK IN TREATING COVID 19 RESPIRATORY ILLNESS AND PNEUMONIA AND I FEEL CAPABLE TO DO SO HAVING TREATED SO MANY COVID 19 PNEUMONIAS, BEING THE FIRST TO RECOMMEND THE USE OF STEROIDS TO TREAT COVID 19, AND BEING SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE CDC AND THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO ACCEPT MY PERSISTANT RECOMMENDATIONS DURING THE TIME ALL WERE BANNING THER USE (now being recommended and given to hospitalized patients when indicated). I'M SHARING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE 30,000+ INDIVIDUALS WHO FOLLOW WHAT IS POSTED ON MY BEHALF ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

?SO LITTLE HAS BEEN PUBLISIZED OR RECOMMENDED WITH REGARDS TO TREATING COVID 19 ILLNESS PRIOR TO HOSPITALIZATION (OUTPATIENT TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COVID 19 RESPIRATORY ILLNESS). PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE NOT A MEDICAL PROVIDER, THESE RECOMMENDATIONS OF MINE HAVE TO BE INSTITUTED AND CAREFULLY MONITORED BY YOUR PHYSICIAN, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

THE MOST IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAY; COVID 19 CAN, WITHOUT WARNING, BLOCK AIRWAYS WITH MUCUS "WITHOUT THE PATIENT FEELIING THE PRESENCE" OF ANY PLLEGM OR MUCUS IN THEIR CHEST. THE COUGH WILL OFTEN BE DRY, UNLESS YOU FORCE YOURSELF TO CONTINUE COUGHING UNTILL YOU FINALLY FEEL THE MUCUS RISING INTO YOUR MID CHEST AND YOUR COUGH TURNS FROM DRY TO WET. COUGH IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.

PLEASE KNOW THAT I'M STILL TREATING NEW COVID 19 PNEUMONIAS ON A DAILY BASIS INCLUDING ONE PATIENT WHO BECAME VERY ILL WEEKS AFTER BEING VACCINATED. REMEMBER; NO VACCINE IS 100% EFFECTIVE (MODERNA, IN THIS CASE). IN NO WAY IS THIS TO IMPLY THAT ONE VACCINE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER. MORE TIME AND STUDIES ARE NEEDED AND HOPEFULLY, IN THE FUTURE, ONLY "ONE" VACCINE, IN THE FORM OF A BOOSTER WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT IT, JUST AS FLU SHOTS ARE EACH YEAR. IF WE ALL WERE TO RECEIVE THE SAME VACCINE, THE LIKELEHOOD OF VARIABLES (STRAINS OR MUTATIONS) WOULD BE GREATLY REDUCED. IN THE MEANTIME EXERCISE CAUTION, JUST AS YOU ALL HAVE BEEN DOING, EVEN IF YOU'VE BEEN VACCINATED, UNTILL WE GET A HANDLE ON THIS STILL PUZZELING VIRUS. ALTHOUGH NUMBERS OF INFECTED PEOPLE ARE STILL HIGH, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATH RATES ARE MUCH LOWER AS WE HAVE GAINED INSIGHT INTO TREATING COVID 19 ILLNESSES, PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED TO SEEK TREATMENT EARLIER AND OF COURSE- MASS VACCINATION AND SOCIAL DISTANCING. I DO STILL SAY THAT RECEIVING THE COVID 19 VACCINE IS A PERSONAL CHOICE.

DR KEVIN MALONEY MAMARONECK, BOARD CERTIFIED FAMILY MEDICINE SPECIALIST

?

AS PREVIOUSLY STATED; I’ve treated so many Covid 19 patients that I can state the following.

AT FIRST: A great many patients often feel a slight tickle or irritation in the back of the throat with a slight dry cough, more often in the morning and at night when lying down. Most patients’ immune symptoms are able to fight off this virus and do fine.

?

Covid 19 IS A ‘SMART VIRUS’. IT CHECKS OUT THE BACK OF OUR THROATS BUT DOESN’T SEEM TO LIKE IT THERE. LIKE I SAY, AT FIRST, PATIENTS REPORT A SLIGHT IRRITATION OR TICKLE LIKE FEELING AT THE BACK OF THE THROAT.?IN MANY PATIENTS, INSTEAD OF COLONIZING IN THE THROAT THIS “SMART VIRUS” HEADS STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE LOWER PARTS OF OUR AIRWAYS. WHY SMART? COVID 19 ACTS IN MUCH THE SAME WAY ANIMALS WHO BURROW, LIVE IN HOLES, USE SURVIVAL INSTINCTS TO DIG DEEP HOLES TO HIDE OUT IN TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM BEING PULLED OUT BY ENEMIES. THIS VIRUS PROTECTS ITSELF IN THE SAME WAY, HEADING STRAIGHT DOWN OUR AIRWAYS, BURROWING ITSELF AT THE BOTTOM OF AIRWAYS DIRECTLY ON TOP OF LUNG TISSUE WHERE IT DOESN’T EVEN SET OFF A COUGH REFLEX. IT SNEEKS IN, WITHOUT SINALING US (DOESN’T PRODUCE COUGH). IT SETTLES BEYOND THE LINING OF OUR BRONCHIAL TUBES, TUBES THAT CONTAIN THE COUGH REFLEX. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON’T COUGH GENERALLY AS COVID 19 SETTLES DEEP INTO LUNG TISSUE, CAUSING A DELAY IN SEEKING TREATMENT UNTILL EXPERIENCING SHORTNESS OF BREATH CAUSED BY INVASION OF LUNG TISSUE (PNEUMONIA) OR PLUGGING OF PERIPHERIAL BRONCHIAL TUBES. THIS VIRUS MAY EVEN POSSESS A MECHANISM ENABLING IT TO BLOCK THE COUGH REFLEX.??THIS IS WHY ANYONE WITH COVID 19 WHO EXPERIENCES ANY DEGREE OF SHORTNESS OF BREATH HAS TO FORCEABLY COUGH AS I HAD THE YOUNG MAN DESCRIBED ABOVE DO, EVEN THOUGH YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU THERE IS NO NEED TO COUGH.

REGARDLESS ANYONE WITH ANY RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS, NASAL CONGESTION… SHOULD ASSUME THEY ARE INFECTED WITH COVID?19 SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AND TREATMENT.

A POSSIBLE REASON WHY THIS VIRUS HAS BETTER SURVIVAL INSTINCTS THAN OTHER VIRUSES; WHY COVID 19 IS SO CONTAGEOUS AND KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO ATTACK IN SUCH INSIDEOUS WAYS:

SCIENTISTS HAVE GENETICALLY MODIFIED VIRUSES GIVING THEM THE ABILITY MULTIPLY FASTER AND ADAPT TO LIVE IN DIFFERENT INVIRONMENTS IN ORDER TO SPEND UP THE TIME IT TAKES TO STUDY THEM, TO DISCOVER WHAT DRUGS WORK TO KILL THEM TO AND TO SPEED UP THE DEVELOPMENT OF VACCINES TO PROTECT US AGAINST VIRUSES.??

UNLIKE THIS SMART VIRUS, RESPIRATORY VIRUSES SETTLE AND MULTIPLY MOST OFTEN IN THE UPPER PARTS OF OUR BREATHING TUBES WHERE WE FELL THEIR PRESENCE BY WAY OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM’S NATURAL DEFENSE MECHANISM, THE COUGH REFLEX WHICH SERVES TO EXPEL VIRUSES FROM OUT BODIES.?

?

RISK FACTORS AND THE REPORTED PROTECTION AGAINST COVID 19 IN SMOKERS

EXCLUDING KNOWN RISK FACTORS IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS, WEAKER IMMUNE SYSTEMS IN THE ELDERLY, THOSE WITH COPD; LUNG DAMAGE FROM LONG TERM CHRONIC SMOKING, SCIENTISTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HAVE OVERLOOKED SIMPLE EXPLANATINS WHEN STUDYING WHY CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE APT TO SUFFER MORE THAN OTHERS WHEN INFECTED WITH COVID 19; AND WHY SOME ARE MORE PROTECTED THAN OTHERS.

?I THINK IT IS ACCEPTED THAT, YOUTH IS A PROTECTIVE FACTOR IN THAT THEY ARE LEAST AFFECTED AS THEY ARE NATURALLY MORE PHYSICALLY FIT, WITH YOUNG CHILDREN KNOWN TO HAVE EVEN MORE HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEMS)

1-???GENDER: MEN ARE AT HIGHER RISK THEN WOMEN SIMPLY BECAUSE WOMEN HAHE A HEIGHTENED (STRONGER) COUGH REFLEX COMPARED TO MEN

2-???MANY TOBACCO SMOKERS HAVE SUFFERED LESS THAN OTHERS FROM COVID 19. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE- “SMOKERS COUGH”. SMOKERS ARE USE TO COUGHING. THEY COUGH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN OTHERS AND THEY’VE DEVELOPED STRONGER MUSCLES NEEDED TO COUGH UP THE MUCUS AND PHLEGM CAUUSED BY COVID 19.??(AGAIN, EXCLUDING?THOSE SMOKERS WITH COPD; LUNG DAMAGE FROM SMOKING TOBACCO). HIGHLY RESPECTED INSTITUTIONS HAVE CONDUCTED STUDIES THEORIZING THAT NICOTINE MAY ACT IN MANY WAYS, STATING SUCH HYPOTHESIES THAT NICOTENE PROTECTS COVID 19 FROM HARMING HORMONE, PROTEIN AND OTHER ORGAN AND TISSUE RECEPTORS…….?SMOKERS HAVE BETTER COUGH REFLEXES.???????????????????????????????????

????3-THE ELDERLY AND THE OBESE ARE AT HIGHER RISK: WHY? BOTH GROUPS HAVE WEAKER MUSCLES. A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF MUSCLES ARE USED BY THE COUGH REFLEX “SYSTEM”.?UPPER ABOMINAL MUSCLES i.e., ARE CRUCIAL IN TERMS OF ONE’S ABILITY TO COUGH DEEPLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO LOOSEN MUCUS PLUGS BLOCKING THE AIRWAYS IN COVID 19 PATIENTS. THERE ARE A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF MUSCLES USED TO COUGH (NECK CHEST ABOMEN….) AND THESE MUSCLES ARE WEAK IN OBESE PATIENTS.

?

?WE ALL RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF AN INTACT IMMUNE SYSTEM AND WHAT AN WHAT AN IMPORTANT ROLE OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS IN PROTECTING US FROM ILLNESS SUCH AS VIRUSES. SCIENTISTS HAVE STUDIED FOODS AND DRUGS TO IDENTIFY THOSE WHICH SERVE TO BOOST OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. MANY FOLLOW DIETS AND TAKE SUPPLIMENTS CONTAINING ANTI-OXIDENTS STATED, TO PROTECT AND BOOST THE IMMUNE STYSTEM. SHELVES IN SUPERMARKETS, PHARMACIES ANF HEALTH FOOD STORES ARE STOCKED WITH PRODECTS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BUY AND TAKE DAILY TO PROTECT THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS, TO FIGHT OFF ILLNES FROM VIRUS AND OTHER PATHOGENS.

?

IT WOULD THEREFORE BE UNTHINKABLE THAT WE WOULD ROUTINELY PURCHASE AND INJEST FOODS, PRODUCTS OR MEDICATIONS KNOWN TO WEAKEN OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. IT WOULD BE UNTHINKABLE THAT STORES WOULD FILL SHELVES FULL OF PRODUCTS KNOW TO DECREASE OUR DEFENSES TO FIGHT OFF ILLNESS SUCH AS VIRUSES. ONE WOULD THINK THAT THESE PRODUCTS WOULD BE FROWNED UPON, THE FDA WOULD REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO PUT WARNING SIGNS ON SUCH PRODUCTS, STATING THAT THIS PRODUCT, ALTHOUGH LEGAL, MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH AND MAY PREVENT YOU FROM FIGHTING OFF COMMON ILLNESS SUCH AS VIRUSES OR PROLONGE ILLNESS SUCH AS THE COMMON COLD BY DEPRESSING YOUR BODIES NATURAL IMUNE RESPONSE TO COMBAT VIRUSES.

BUT WE DO.?COUGH SUPPRESSANTS

The?cough reflex?is “complex”, involving the central and?peripheral nervous systems?as well as the smooth muscle of the bronchial tree, ABDOMINAL, CHEST NECK MUSCLES…?Coughing?is one of the body's most basic defense mechanisms. We?cough?to expel foreign particles AND PATHOGENS SUCH AS COVID 19 from our respiratory?system, (for those placed on vents during the height of the pandemic, they had?a?one out of ten chance of surviving.

?

IT’S TIME THAT THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY RECOGNIZE THAT COUGH, IN RELATION TO COMBATING LOWER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IS ONE OF THE BODIES MOST IMPORTANT MECHANISMS TO EXPEL PATHOGINS FROM OUR BODIES USING THE PATHOGENIS OF THE COVID 19 VIRUS AS A REMINDER TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF RE-EVALUATING THE ROUTINE USE OF COUGH SUPPRESSANTS WITH THE REALIZATION THAT THESE MEDICATIONS ARE IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS.?

DOCTORS FIRST HAVE TO BE EDUCATED OR REMINDED THAT COUGH IS A NATURE DEFENSE MECHANISM OF OURS TO EXPEL, OUT FROM OUR BODIES, THINGS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO US SUCH AS VIRUSES AND OTHER PATHOGENS. WITH RARE EXCEPTIONS, I ALWAYS ADVISE AGAINST THE USE OF COUGH SUPPRESSANTS. THINK OF TIMES YOU’VE BEEN EATING OR DRINKING SOMETHING FAST AND IN GOES DOWN THE WRONG TUBE (YOU COUGH IT OUT). IN THOSE SITUATIONS, IF NOT FOR COUGH YOU MIGHT DIE.

COUGH PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND THE USE OF COUGH SUPPRESSANDS SHOULD BE AT THE DIRECTION OF A PHYSICIAN.

SO MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VACCINES TO COMBAT COVID 19, APPROPRIATLY SO, YET IS HAS BEEN NOT ONLY INAPPROPRIATE, BUT NEGLANT OF US, THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY, TO HAVE PAID SO LITTLE ATTENTION TO TREATING COVID 19 PATIENTS WITH NO ESTABLISHED PROTOCOL TO TREAT OUTPATIENTS PROPHYLACTICLY TO PREVET PROGRESSION OF RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES TO COVID PNEUMONIA & TO HOSPITALIZATION.
