We are back to the purple tier in the County of San Diego, in fact we’ve been in purple ever since Governor Newsom rescinded the stay-at home order in California. As you probably know by now, by being in the purple tier this allows some businesses to open, including outdoor dining, hair salons and other services. However, many businesses remain closed, or limited by outdoor operations. So, how do we get to the next tier? I’ve always argued this color-coded system is fla...

A doctor friend of mine recently sent me an interview of another doctor in New York, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. Zelenko has boasted a near 100%...
