Check out Assembly Bill 1548 which seeks to crack down on Med Spas and their often illegal practices. MED SPAS have injured, scarred and disfigured MANY people ! Read part of the bill below: \n\nThis bill addresses concerns of dermatologists that \n limited enforcement authority leaves the public inadequately \n protected against unscrupulous business practices in the \n medical spa (medi-spa) industry. Medi-spas are businesses \n that generally offer cosmetic medical services such as \n chemical peels, medical microdermabrasion, laser procedures, \n and injectable wrinkle treatments such as Botox in a spa-like \n environment. According to the author, some medi-spas have \n sought to create and maintain business arrangements that are \n in flagrant violation of current law barring the corporate \n practice of medicine. These arrangements include recruitment \n of physicians as "medical ...read more

BURNED AND PERMANENTLY SCARRED!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE I had a procedure performed at Newport Beach Med Spa in March of this year. Kathy Mohammadi was suppose to remove small spider veins from the side of my nose. She burned and permanently scarred my face and I have pock marks on my cheeks. Dr. Csepanyi saw the severe burns and blisters and said, "the skin is very forgiving". Well, scarring is not my idea of forgiving. I have met with 4 different plastic surgeons who all said I will have to wait at least 6 months for the severe burns to heal before anything can be done to correct the scars. They said as my skin heals additional scarring was possible and sure enough 6 months later another pock mark has appeared. Because my skin was SO damaged and swollen it took 6 months to see the extent of their incompetence. \n\nThis $60.00 MINOR procedure is going to cost upwards of $10,000.00 to repair. \n\nThe board certified plastic surgeons also told me if Kathy Mohammadi ac ...read more

After suffering with chronic lower back pain, daily headaches, and general pain in behind my shoulder blades and in my hips, my outlook for the future was dreary and full of pain that I would just have to learn to live with. Visiting Dr. Nona's office was really just for pain relief, but after just 4 weeks of treatment, she had completely turned my life around. I have more energy, no headaches, and much less back pain. I cannot wait to see how her well-honed skills will have impacted my health in another 4 weeks! ...read more
San Francisco Blogger and Chiropractor talks about various triggers of migraine headaches. Genetics, Vascular, Neurological, Hormonal, Nutritional, and Spinal. The main cause of Migraine headaches is rarely discussed with patients these days. Most medical doctors, due to their specialty prescrbe medication to patients who suffer with migraine headaches without even getting to educate them about food triggers or life style choices that could help them reduce frequency or intensity such as exercise and meditation. The last place most health care professionals will look for the cause of a migraine headache is the spine- more specifically the cervical spine (neck). You would think it makes sense, your brain controls everything and the way it does that is through the nervous system that runs inside the spine.The upper part of the cervical spine (base of your skull, and top of your neck) is where the brain exits the skull and enters the spinal column. If there is pressure on the brain-stem, it can cause all sorts of problems such as hormonal imbalances, light sensitivity, nausea, and migraine headaches. If you or someone you know is suffering from migraine headaches, are sick of taking medication for it or just want relief, give chiropractic a chance. We've helped hundreds of patients who were left with no hope and were suffering from chronic, frequent and severe migraine headaches. If you're in Orange County area, call us @ 949-387-1333 to see if you are a candidate for care. ...read more

I hear many many excuses in my office when helping and inspiring patients to lose weight and one of them is their ‘fat genes'. I recently read an article in the USA Today that was titled ‘exercise can override ‘fat genes'. I've been telling patients who are looking to lose weight, get off medication, look better, and get healthier that when there's a will, there's a way. The latest reserach shows that exercise reduces the tendency towards obesity (for those who have the ‘fat genes') by 40%!!! "Our findings challenge the popular myth that obesity is unavoidable if it runs in the family" the researchers explain. Life style is everything. Your daily habits are either helping you be healthier everyday or they are moving you to the direction of dis-ease and early death. You get to pick your daily habits. Start by a 30 minute morning walk and stop blaming your genes. ...read more

New study showed kids who were consuming higher quantities of meat, fat and sugar had reduced microbial flora in their gut and thus were more likely to not only obesity and allergies but other inflammatory diseases. Inflammatory conditions such as allergies, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory bowel diseases are on a rise in western countries and more so in the United States. The gastrointestinal flora (good bacteria in your gut) plays an important role in balancing out your PH and your overall homeostasis. It makes sense that Sugar, Dairy and Meat (more specifically red meat) would be linked to inflammatory conditions, because they are inflammatory products. In a state of pain and disease or when your body is in a crisis situation (health-wise) these products need to be avoided to allow the natural defense mechanism reduce the inflammation that exists in your body. Omega3 Fish oil is a great way to reduce your inflammatory state. Keep in mind, there's no alternative to fresh fruits and veggies. ...read more
