Overall

Can you feel happy going to do...

Can you feel happy going to doctor's office to get shots? I can tell you - YES! Best happy Doctor's office - that is my opinion and everyone I have referred there. For 2 years since I started the allergy treatment I forgot when spring is here - I have to tell you I was hospitalized twice before because of my asthma and terrible grass allergy. Now I can hike and bike all year round - no problem!

General Practitioners

Headaches
Arthritis
What conditions can be confused with eye allergies? One of the most frequent conditions that looks like allergy is an infection. This happens because the inflammation is carried out by the same protective immune cells. Only in one situation it is an allergen (like pollen or a cat hair) and in another – a bacteria or a virus. As in both processes immune cells (lymphocytes) protect your body from intrusion, all symptoms will look similar. There are also autoimmune diseases that can look very similar – celiac disease frequently presents as an eye allergy or contact dermatitis. So does rheumatoid arthritis.

Sleep Disorders
Family Practice
Some people never go to regular doctor – they prefer naturopathic family medicine clinics and practitioners, and willing to drive long distance to see them. We highly recommend finding a naturopathic center with great practitioners. Go for it!
Emergency Care
Excessive tearing, tear runs outside of the eyes Can these symptoms happen with the infection? Yes. What about foreign body? Definitely yes. How will the doctor find out what exactly caused my eye problem? It is an interesting question how the doctors can tell infection from the allergy. A young student of the medical school gets overwhelmed by the endless possibility of diagnoses and usually gets the answer wrong. As the study continues, expert professors explain how to find the clues and get a good history with prominent details. For example, a 5-year-old comes holding the right eye closed. Mom tells the doctor that she picked her son up from a playground after kids started throwing sand. Well, this does not sound like an allergy. Wait, but what if there was a grass around and the child developed an allergic reaction? What if there was a sand in the eye, but someone used a scented wipe to get the sand out. Instead, a reaction to the chemical started? All these things must be considered carefully when a doctor is making a diagnosis. We will review the hints and differences that will help you too when you make a choice whether to go to the urgent care or not.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Skin infected Herpes zoster virus on the arms Finding the culprit for the rashes is not an easy thing, it may take more than one appointment and few different tests. We believe it is a better approach than to use steroids and steroidal creams – these do have significant side effects such as skin thinning and skin discoloration, especially for people with darker skin color. Oral steroids can cause many serious immediate (mood and sleep problems) and long-term (diabetes, glaucoma, blood pressure issues, obesity etc.) side effects. Dr Kushnir uses every possible natural treatment to safely restore and regenerate skin, which always works eliminating the problem or significantly improving condition. We believe in whole body treatment – skin is only one organ that fully depends on all other body systems; skin conditions usually are a reflection of the body functioning and heavily depends on nutrition, stress and metabolism.
Ophthalmology
BMJ Open Ophthalmology. Unfortunately, the most significant vision problem comes from another phenomenon caused by pandemic – being locked at home and no exercise. While we are in a pandemic situation with no vacations or normal entertainment, the time is spent sitting with the computers and phones. As this is extremely unhealthy for the body and eye blood circulation and ocular muscles, there are many long-term problems of the vision that could affect adults and kids indirectly due to COVID-19.
Cataracts
Allergy does not affect vision directly, but you would not be able to see if the eyelids are swollen shut? Indeed, the allergy may cause blindness by scarring the eye cornea or causing a cataract

Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a medical term for a procedure to look inside the natural body openings (ears, mouth, nose etc.). As you can see for yourself, it is pretty dark there. So, doctors use flexible cords that have a bright light and a tiny camera at the end – it is called rhinoscope here because it is used to look in the nose and throat.

Hypothyroidism
Here is another revelation I recently had – Leaky Gut is a part of the bigger picture (together with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and all autoimmune complications such as Adrenal Fatigue and Hypothyroidism), which I call Hyperactive Immune Syndrome.

MRI
Imaging studies. We will give you a test requisition for the nearest diagnostic center if a CT or MRI is needed. Dr Kushnir will do her best to solve the puzzle of your conditions, but certain studies (such as bone marrow biopsy) are not available locally. She knows experts in the best medical centers, and will refer you for necessary studies and consultations if needed. Dr Kushnir can also refer you to NIH in Washington, DC, or to Stanford if you qualify for a research study or another expert opinion.

Chemotherapy
Immunodeficiency is the name for many diseases when there is no protection from viral or bacterial infections. Some of these diseases are inherited, and some may happen later in life. Immunodeficient people lack natural protection against infections and may die if not treated correctly. Genetic Immunodeficiency is rare. There are only handful of diseases affecting a very small proportion of people that are caused by genetic problem with immune cells. Unfortunately, these diseases are extremely dangerous and can cause death if not immediately recognized. There is a mandatory testing of all newborns for the most dangerous types of immunodeficiency, and pediatricians watch out for families which are carriers of affected chromosomes. Secondary immunodeficiency can be due to viruses that affect cells and interfere with their protective functions. HIV is one of the most known viral syndromes, but other viruses can do lots of damage too. Certain types of immunodeficiency can be a result of medications and chemotherapy. Immunosuppressive treatments that are used in many autoimmune diseases ‘slow down’ immune attack that self-destroys the organs, but at the same time they block the immune system’s protection against infections and parasites.

Ulcer
Intestinal barrier. Gut must maintain absolute ‘seal’ which separates undigested food from internal body fluids. This is a function of special cells of gut mucosal barrier that form tight junctions and ‘gates’ that permit only fully digested simple minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids and carbs to get through. This barrier also prevents intestine damage by rough food and stomach acid. If this barrier is destroyed by bad food, bad habits or food additives, diseases such as stomach ulcer, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel disease (IBS) start.
Eczema
Why is it important to know what our skin does and how it is made? Skin is actually smart. If it is healthy, it can protect itself (and your whole body) from many external damages. Naturally, skin is also bactericidal - it produces factors that kill bacteria and viruses on spot within minutes. That is why it is so important to keep a natural barrier. Antibacterial soaps are wrongfully promoted by the industry - they are responsible to the skin loosing such a powerful protective layer! Skin must be fed from inside and outside. Your skin will not look good if your diet is not balanced with collagens and fats. Cracks and eczema start developing if the layers of the dermal cells do not have sufficient oils. Just like a leather chair, skin must be moisturized and protected with the correct care. Using too many chemical wipes and cosmetic products can damage the fragile stem cells that renew the skin.
Fungus
There is a lot of normal ‘helpful’ bacteria that lives on the skin – these little ‘bugs’ are our partners protecting us from invasion of real pathogens – harmful bacteria and fungus
Rashes
Psoriasis
