Dr. Michael Turner: Your go to for all things health and wellness

 
 
Dr. Michael K. Turner an Integrative Medicine Physician and Men’s Health Specialist based in Tri-Cities, Washington joins eHealth Radio and the Covid-19 Information and Health News Channels. Called “genuine,” “caring,” and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, Dr. Turner brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and in-depth expertise to his practice.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Michael K. Turner discuss the following:
You have a very well rounded practice with extensive studies in many lanes. What would you say is your favorite area of expertise? What is your East meets West approach?
Talk to us about when Covid hit and how did you pivot during that time in your practice?
Tell us your research and data on treating patients with Ivermectin.


We saw you put out a Covid prevention plan and treatment plan, tell us how one prevents contracting Covid.
What about your telemedicine platform. What types of patients would benefit from this and do you see this as the future for medicine practice?
Patients seek you out from all over the country. What is the one advice you want to share with every one on keeping healthy during this time. 
Dr. Michael K. Turner is an Integrative Medicine Physician and Men’s Health Specialist based in Tri-Cities, Washington. Called “genuine,” “caring,” and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, he brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and in-depth expertise to his practice. Providing world-class health/wellness advice on topics that include holistic COVID care and chronic illness, he harnesses modern developments in medicine to bring patients the best care possible via in-office or telehealth appointment options.
Earning his undergraduate degree at Stanford University, Dr. Turner went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from Harvard Medical School with a residency at the Mayo Clinic. With over a decade of clinical experience, along with a background in both hospital-based and private practice, he couples a research-based approach with a unique passion for excellence as he helps to develop the growing field of integrative/holistic medicine. His current areas of expertise include advanced treatments in sports medicine and anti-aging, along with chronic illness, nerve disorders, and general health.
Dr. Turner is one of the nation’s few male doctors with an in-depth knowledge of chronic illnesses, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Hashimoto’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, and COVID-19 Long Haul effects. His journey into the complex world of these “invisible” conditions - often overlooked or misdiagnosed - began when his wife received a diagnosis of cancer and chronic illness. Symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, or fatigue are often misconstrued as signs of hormone imbalance or depression, particularly in female patients. Living in the wake of these diseases and their symptoms, Dr. Turner sought to understand them at a DNA level, searching for the most effective answers.
Today, as COVID Long Haul affects an increasing number of Americans, Dr. Turner works alongside patients, digging for the real root causes and best courses of treatment. He offers research-based expertise on controversial topics such as Ivermectin, the pro’s/con’s of vaccines, and holistic/natural care approaches, as well as the challenges of medical censorship/cancel culture. He also advises patients on outpatient prevention/treatment options, so they can increase the odds of staying well at home and avoiding a trip to the E.R. Dr. Turner proudly serves the Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and surrounding communities.

How to Camouflage a Virus: The Latest in Gene Therapy with Genine Winslow

 
 
Genine Winslow, the CEO and Co-founder of Chameleon Biosciences, a biotechnology company focused on safer, more effective gene therapies joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel.
Chameleon’s (patent pending) EVADER™ platform is helping to make it possible to treat people who previously could not be treated with gene therapy, especially children with genetic diseases such as severe Hemophilia B.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guests Genine Winslow discuss the following:
Obviously viruses are on everyone’s mind right now. The truth is that while viruses can be deadly such as in the case of COVID-19, gene therapy actually uses viruses as treatment vehicles for genetic diseases. Can you explain what it is about viruses that makes them ideal for treating genetic diseases?
As I understand it, Chameleon’s work focuses on treatments for people who can’t be treated with conventional gene therapies--why is it that some people, especially children, are untreatable?
Going into detail--back to COVID-19--the vaccines so many of us are getting are designed to prime our immune systems to help us detect and fight COVID-19. Chameleon’s work sounds like the opposite goal--to help viruses get past a person’s immune system multiple times. Talk about the science in that--where did the idea come from?
At Chameleon, you’ve developed an innovation called EVADER™. Can you explain (in simplified terms) what EVADER does to get around the issues you just described?
Obviously getting to market for something like EVADER is something that takes a lot of time and testing and funding. Can you tell us where Chameleon is in the process?
You’ve worked for many different groups as a scientist and now you run your own company. To all the managers and leaders out there, what is it that you would say scientists need in the workplace to be able to do their best work?
Genine Winslow is the CEO and co-founder of Chameleon Biosciences, a biotechnology company she founded in 2017 focused on safer, more effective gene therapies. At Chameleon, Genine combines her backgrounds in both immunology and gene therapy to engineer a next generation AAV based vector for systemic repeat dosing for children and adults who today cannot be treated with conventional gene therapies. Prior to Chameleon, Winslow has led gene therapy scientific initiatives at multiple companies including Audentes Therapeutics, BioMarin, BlueBird Bio, and Cell Genesys.

Her new book is The ICU Guide for Families: Understanding Intensive Care and How You Can Support Your Loved One.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Lara Goitein discuss the following:
You worked as an ICU doctor for twelve years in several different hospitals. But in the past several years you’ve transitioned to practicing mostly in your other area of expertise, as a specialist in lung diseases, as well as in hospital quality improvement. Do you miss practicing ICU medicine? Did you like it?
Why did you write this book?
What are examples of some of the practical ways people can help their loved ones when they are admitted to the ICU?
Are there commonalities in the way family members cope with the stress of an ICU admission for a loved one?
As you point out, family members are often desperate for information about their loved one’s condition. But they sometimes find it difficult to know when and how to communicate with the doctors in the ICU. Do you have any advice?
How is ICU medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic different?
Family members are sometimes asked to make very tough decisions on behalf of patients who are not awake or otherwise able to make decisions on their own behalf. This includes decisions about withholding or withdrawing of life support. In your book you offer some suggestions for how to approach these decisions. Could you talk about that?
Lara Goitein, MD, is a Harvard trained physician specializing in intensive care and lung medicine. She founded a clinician-directed quality improvement program at a Santa Fe, New Mexico, hospital and is President-Elect of the Medical Staff.
Her professional interests include quality improvement in healthcare, end-of-life care, the training of new doctors, physician burnout, and improving communication with patients and families. She is an editorial board member and frequent writer for the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine, and also writes in the lay press, including the New York Review of Books.
