I've seen Dr. Jurkowski several times at MD Today Urgent Care. The facility located in the Scripps Ranch marketplace and it is clean and new, much nicer than my PCPs office. Except for one time, they get me in and out within an hour without an appointment, which is just unheard of in the medical industry. They accept my insurance and my children can be seen there too, which is great. All in all, they provide an exceptional urgent care experience and I would highly recommend MD Today. ...read more

Dr. Sundharadas’ statements during my consultation with him were unprofessional, reckless and dangerous!!! This guy has no business practicing medicine! This is not simply a matter of his “bedside manner.” The issues here involve a doctor (a) jumping to medical conclusions without any review of the patient’s medical history, and (b) undermining his colleagues by making uninformed statements directly contradicting those colleagues informed opinions. Different doctors may certainly draw different conclusions when presented with the same set of facts. However, when a doctor has not reviewed any of the facts, he should not be drawing any conclusions and certainly should not be stating that his colleagues who have reviewed the facts are wrong. ...read more
The founder of Reiki Mikao Usui sensei himself thought of Reiki as a physical treatment technique. He also stated that Reiki can be helpful for psychological conditions, and considered Reiki to be a spiritual healing method. The original name for Reiki, the way Usui-sensei called it, was 心身改善臼井靈氣療法 (Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho) or, in translation, “Usui Treatment Method for Body and Mind” (literally, “Mind-Body Improvement Usui Reiki Therapy”). The name itself says it all. I, personally, see Reiki as a mind-body-and-spirit wellness method, that helps maximize a person’s natural healing potential, and helps restore natural internal balance, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. Current medical science does not have an explanation for how Reiki works, but in my experience, it can be helpful on all levels, and often in a profound way. Again, as a medical doctor, I have no explanation for this, but I am certain, it is not a placebo effect. As far as Reiki as the means to achieve enlightenment, I can certainly see that Reiki can be very helpful in that regard. When receiving Reiki, many people report having experiences of deep peace and clarity, similar to what one may attain in a state of a deep meditation, something that for most of us would take years of practice to accomplish. From my perspective, these types of Reiki experiences may speed up and help facilitate the process of getting closer to the enlightened state. This is also true for the practitioners of Reiki. Most, tend to shift towards a more enlightened way of being with the ongoing practice of this unique Japanese healing art. #Reiki #MindBody #Wellness #Healing #SpiritualTreatmentMethod #JapaneseHealingArt #MikaoUsui #UsuiSensei #ShinShinKaizenUsuiReikiRyoho #enlightenment ...read more

By Wellness Jedi. There is a synthetic version of marijuana, and it is called Marinol. It is the drug companies’ answer to their desire, but inability, to sell marijuana. But Spice has absolutely no connection to the cannabis plant or Marinol. So why do reporters and others continue to make the correlation between the highly processed, chemical mashup that is Spice, and what we all know as the natural substance, marijuana? Your guess is as good as mine. But maybe my guess may be better. #1. Marijuana sells. More and more people are learning of its healing and therapeutic properties. Many states have medical laws in place allowing patients to use cannabis for medical conditions and the symptoms associated with many disease. And a couple of states have passed recreational laws. #2. Marijuana has a reputation for being safe. This correlation is dangerous because it sends the public, including children and teens, mixed and blatantly wrong messages about the 2 substances. Spice is highly dangerous and unpredictable. Because manufacturers are constantly changing the make-up of what is in Spice in order to avoid prosecution and continuing manufacturing it, there is no telling what is in one batch or the next. News stories highlight multiple overdoses in any given area based on a “bad batch.” And because the truly non-toxic, non-addictive qualities of cannabis are known to many adolescents and adults, labeling something as “synthetic marijuana” has implied amounts of safety that simply aren’t present in the unregulated product known as Spice. #3. There is a public push to keep marijuana “off the streets” and out of the hands of minors. All the while, the dangers of other substances are glossed over or ignored. The leftover reefer madness mentality does much more harm than good. While we, as a society, should be educating the youth about the truths of various drugs, we are failing then by perpetuating untrue myths and fabrications about the cannabis plant and not focusing enough on alcohol, prescription pain killers, and other harder drugs that can actually be lethal, and are highly addictive. Recently, I was on my daughter’s high school campus and the only sign on a billboard was warning about the “detrimental” effects of smoking marijuana and no mention of help or education regarding any other drug. Spice is in no way a form of marijuana. It is a dangerous mix of chemicals that bring on a range of dangerous and unpredictable symptoms in those who use it. Media and other outlets need to be more clear and honest, and perform their due diligence in efforts to disseminate correct, and not misleading, information. ...read more

By Wellness Jedi You hear about people getting cancer every day. Sometimes it’s a co-worker, sometimes it’s the parent of a friend, and in really heart wrenching circumstances, it might be a child. The question that I have asked myself many times is “what would I do if it were my parent, what would I do if it were my wife, what would I do if it were my child?” It’s a frightening scenario to push your imagination into, but an important one, because there is so much information out there and even more misinformation. If a health crisis arises, I want to be informed enough to work with doctors and health practitioners to devise a plan. Not simply succumb to the chemo, surgery route. And taking that one step further, why isn’t there a health team teaching my family and I how to prevent cancer in the first place? In this technologically advanced world, why is preventative health care still in the dark ages? The health care system in this country, or what is being disguised as a health care system, is often so confusing, so difficult to navigate, and in many instances, fails people who turn to it for help. Many physicians just come back with the easy answer – but not really a solution – another prescription to mask another symptom, and “worry about the side effects later.” This is not health care, this is symptom masking. This is not health care, this is legal drug pushing. I hear stats about what the average cancer patient is “worth” to the system. The whole thing is despicable. And all the while, insurance refuses to cover alternative treatments, and states continue to deny people access to ancient medicines like Cannabis. So on a general level, I know what I would do if it were someone close to me that was diagnosed with cancer, or some other potentially fatal disease. I would turn to a place that could help me weigh the pros and cons of Western medicine because they didn’t stand to to profit from it. I would turn to a place who could offer me information and education on other scientifically proven methods of supporting healing even, and sometimes more importantly, when coupled with a Western regiment. Not that I have found the magic answer, but investing in one’s health before something tragic develops, and having a trusted physician, health practitioner, or team of both, to help prioritize and advocate for a healthy lifestyle, could help many make great strides toward health, at any stage of life. And when the day comes that a serious diagnosis occurs, there is a safe place to turn for a true plan. Learn more about Medical Cannabis on the Wellness Jedi blog. Next week I will take a deeper look into the history Cannabis and its potential effects in the prevention and treatment of cancer. ...read more
