Tai Chi for Seniors
Tai Chi is a martial art, an ancient martial art, probably the oldest of all martial arts. This particular style is called Sun style, and is very suitable for senior citizens who have arthritis and who have tendency to fall.
Movements are gracious, slow, rhythmic, creating a perfect harmony of movements, breathing and meditation. Doctor Paul Lamm developed this kind of Tai Chi into main stream medicine, and there are many medical studies proving that this type of Tai Chi is really medically beneficial for our health. The world's major arthritis foundations, including American Arthritis foundation recognizes Tai Chi Sun style as official Tai Chi for arthritis.
Glendale Memorial Hospital and the Care More health plan of California are having regular Tai Chi classes for our senior patients. If you have any questions about those exercises classes please call doctor Neskovic's office at 818-244 4114 .

Five sure ways to ruin your health and your life!
Think about bad attitude, negative emotions, and bad food that we eat, the lack of exercise, and not doing enough for our fellow human beings, and all of this is sure prescription for disaster.
Think about your attitude for a moment, and you will instantly know why your life is unfolding as it should, or why your life is not going in the direction that you would like it to go. Did you notice those inpatient people and arrogant people who think that they are more important than anyone else? They rarely give allowances to others, they often come from the negative side, and they see glass half full as a glass half empty. And they are wondering why their lives are not happy lives. There is a saying that we should hire employees for good attitude, and we should train them for skills. And Charles Swindoll said at best:
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes”.
And maybe you didn’t think about that but good attitude is essential for our good health. So, when you catch yourself getting into a bad attitude, just stop it right away and give allowances and give love to people around you, and you will be glad that you did that!
Now, think for the moment about your emotions. There is nothing better than positive, good emotions, when we love and respect each other. And there is nothing worse from negative emotions which are toxic for our body, mind and our spirit. Like colors of a rainbow we can experience many different emotions. But the worst human emotion is resentment, which is like a poison for our mind and hearts. Roy Masters calls resentment loser’s anger. We can get addicted to resenting other people, and sadly to say some people are full of anger hate and resentment. So don’t go in that negative direction of human emotions, become fast on forgiveness and slow on anger. In the movie “Batman and Robin “, Batman said to Robin: “Remember Robin, emotions are enemies of true justice!”, and it is so true indeed emotions are enemies of true justice. We need to know the real truth and truth will set us free! When we are under great pressures, when things go wrong, in those difficult times we should be cool, calm, and collected. And be careful and patient with people who come from negative side. They always see glass half full as a glass have empty. Be respectful toward them but gently point out your point of view, and as people would say, let go and let God.
Human beings cannot survive without water, air, thinking all the time, and yes we cannot survive without food. But did you know that food is not only used as nourishment for our body, but that food can be considered also as one of the seven deadly sins. It is called gluttony or eating just for your pleasure, living life just to eat, rather than eating healthy to live healthy lives. Even though technology and the human advancements are changing our ways of life so fast, we still do have Stone Age bodies. What does it mean to have a Stone Age bodies? Medical a speaking out of human bodies are still 90% similar to bodies of any mammal. In my opinion we should not eat three meals and two desserts every day, especially if we have a sedentary job. We should eat in moderation, and our food should be 80% vegetarian and 20% fish and poultry. We should eat red meat very sparingly. Actually, the healthiest patients in my medical practice are people who are vegetarian. We should it to more food from God’s table. That means you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables with all those beautiful colors of a rainbow. That food that looks fresh and delicious is live food, versus dead food which comes as packaged and canned food with long lasting shelf life. I stopped drinking coffee and soft drinks five years ago, and my health improved significantly. I enjoy my herbal teas and food from God’s table. In my opinion diet drinks are especially dangerous. We are lying to our own body with every seep of that zero calories drink. We are taking chemicals which our body cannot recognize and it is damaging our pancreas and other vital organs. And as a result of thinking goes diet drinks we don’t lose weight but he actually gain weight. We should eat when we are hungry, we should drink fresh water, without ice when we are thirsty, and this is the only way to regain our good health.
Yes, to be healthy we need to do regular exercises too. Food and exercises are like two wings on an airplane. In the same way that airplane cannot fly with one wing only, we cannot be really healthy with only eating healthy and not exercising, or we cannot be a really healthy with only exercising regularly but not eating healthy. Center for disease control recommends that an average American needs to exercise five times a week and every health care professional would agree with this statement. I personally do exercise three times a week in my local YMCA. But I do strenuous exercise each time lasting for about two hours. First, I do aerobic exercise on a machine called “Life fitness 9500”. Second, I do exercise with the FitLinxx, 12 machines connected to a computer, and it is like my personal trainer over the last five years. Or, you can go to a YMCA web sites and read more information like this:”More than 4,000 Y members have benefited from the FitLinxx® system; our digital training partner that takes the “work” out of “working out”.
FitLinxx® provides you with instant training feedback and recommended exercise programs for cardiovascular and strength machines. It also ban measures your fitness progress. Just login and FitLinxx will tell you the amount of weight to use, the number of repetitions, range of motion, seat settings, and more. You can also login from home to record outdoor exercise activities like walking or bike riding.”
I’m very impressed by FitLinxx system, and it is very important part of my healthy lifestyle. I wake up easy at 5:15 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and do my 2 hours exercises, and my life is unfolding as it should. I am in vibrant health, full of life’s energy, my sleep is excellent, my percentage of body fat is 16.20% and my body mass index is 22.2. If you check those numbers with your doctor he would tell you that this is very desirable for any person. So if you decided not to do regular exercises, you’re committed to ruin your health. At first those negative changes are reversible but if you continue inactive lifestyle, and if your weight is beyond desirable weight, this is sure way to ruin your health.

Being 55 years old person now, and being a Family Physician for the last 31 years I come to a conclusion that working is essential for every human being. I personally worked hard all of my life and I’m very happy that I did. And I am planning to work and to contribute for the rest of my life. It is OK to retire from your work but never retire from your life. Remember the old saying: “Always is more blessed one who gives than one who receives!” The secret is in giving, and the secret is in being part of a solution and never part of a problem. Don’t be lazy, do not procrastinate and do something good for other human beings. The same way when doctors tell patients that even after a heart attack, they should get out of bed and walk and do some exercises, the same way when we are healthy we should work and contribute and be useful human beings. All of us living people are like the part of an imaginary huge river of life, and if we want to remain healthy we need to move with exact speed of this imaginary river of life. If we speed up and try to do too much there will be repercussions, and in the same token if we slow down and don’t do enough there will be repercussions.
It is sad to say, but we are surrounded with failures. Success is indeed an uncommon happening among human beings. But maybe one out of hundred people is doing all of the right things which we discussed above. Find those people, emulate them, be more like them, talk more like them, walk more like them and ask them for advice. Those people are our mentors and they are ready and waiting to give us good useful advice, to edify us, to point the right direction, and to tell us exactly what to do. But we are often like in a deep hypnotic state, unable to do what is right, and what is right to do for the right reason. Often wrong seems like right, and we continue doing wrong, and we secretly hope we will get on right path. But, isn’t it definition of insanity: ”Doing same things over and over and expecting different outcome!” So, snap out of this hypnotic state and start doing right things.
In conclusion if you do not want to ruin your life, choose positive mental attitude, practice positive mental attitude, be patient, give allowances to other people be giving and forgiving and love one another. It is very important to eat healthy, to it and when you are hungry and drink water when you’re thirsty and eat more from God’s table. Find a walking body and get a pedometer and walk every day 5,000 to 10,000 steps. Also get an accurate scale and monitor your weight because a life not examined is life not worth living. Examine everything question everything, get second opinion if you are not happy with your doctors advise, and do everything in moderation. I have my mentors and I wish you to have your mentors, a few very special people who made it. Go ahead and find a few real friends who can give you the best advice, the best guidance and the best support. And now when you know how to ruin your health go ahead and do the right thing and save yourself!

8 lifesaving tests for men
There is an inherent logic to preventative health measures and disease prevention. It seems more sensible to prevent the occurrence of diseases, or stop them early in their natural history, than to delay treatment until the disease has resulted in irreversible damage to the body.
Yet thousands of Americans suffer from chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, renal failure, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes despite current screening tests and known risk reductions.
There are basic guidelines for most screening tests. Below are the recommendations of Put Prevention Into Practice (PPIP), a program featuring tools for tracking preventative medicine services in the physician's office as well as patient and professional education about disease prevention.
PPIP, a pilot program partnered by Glendale Memorial and CareAmerica. Follows criteria recommended by such major medical authorities as the American Academy of Family Practice and American Cancer Society.
”Be aware your unique hereditary and history may make you more vulnerable to certain disease.” Says Neskovic. “It is important your personal physician knows this so they can adjust the screening to appropriate levels.“
The following are tests men can't live without:
Blood pressure
Approximately 50 million American have elevated blood pressure warranting monitoring or drug therapy. Treatment for hypertension is very effective. Left untreated, however, it can increase the risk of stroke, coronary artery disease and kidney disease. Blood pressure should be measured at least every other year throughout life.
Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease. Guidelines recommend a blood test in which levels of total cholesterol are measured. If results are within normal limits, retesting is not needed for five years. If results are not within normal ranges, your physician will recommend an appropriate schedule for retesting.
Fecal Occult Blood Test
This test requires following a special diet and collecting stool samples over a three day period. The samples are tested for blood from premalignant growths or colorectal cancers. This test is recommended once every one to three years fro those over the age of 50.
Sigmoidoscopy
In this procedure, a flexible illuminating tube is inserted into the rectum and colon. This allows the physician to identify suspicious lesions and biopsy them. This test is recommended every three to five years over the age of 50.
Skin Examinations
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. It is recommended that patients should undergo an examination of the skin every three years for those between the ages of 20 to 39 years of age, and yearly after age 40. This exam is a relatively simple test in which the physician looks for signs of skin cancer.
Digital Rectal Exam
This exam screens the patient for both prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States and prostate cancer the second most common cancer in men. Major health authorities believe this exam should be part of the periodic health examination. Performed every one to three years for those over the age of 50.
Prostate-Specific Antigen
This test also screens for prostate cancer. Although there has been some controversy surrounding the necessity of this test, recommendations have been made for men to undergo this test every year after the age of 50.
Aspirin Prophylaxis
Studies have shown low-dose aspirin to significantly decrease the incidence of first myocardial infarction in men. This prophylactic treatment is recommended in patients over 40 years of age with risk factors for coronary heart disease. The decision to begin taking aspirin should be made only after consultation by each individual with their physician.

Running (not aimlessly) into the second 50 years of my life
Yes, on March 2, 2003, I ran my tenth Los Angeles marathon. I look forward to enjoying again that special first Sunday in March of 2004 and, God willingly, the year after year too. The Los Angeles marathon is like my family now, and for the last ten years too.
Did you know that just by belonging to any kind of a group or an organization, your overall health and longevity is much better and much improved than if you do not belong to any group?! So those 20,000 runners are my think-alike friends, the most beautiful human beings I know. We come in all different shapes, ages and colors, and all of us have that determination to cross the finish line and complete 26.2 miles.
Why do we do that?
In my particular case, I just had to do that after my father had his second heart attack. Actually, after my dad had his first heart attack, I was not aware that my own health was in danger. If I did not change my lifestyle and waste it by living to eat, rather than eating to live, my health would drastically deteriorate. But after my dad had the second heart attack, I had like a spiritual renewal and I was like a born-again person. I remember that Thursday, ten years ago, when I heard the bad news that my dad had his second heart attack. I was so deeply distressed and deeply got aware of the truth that could set me free. That truth was that if I do not change my lifestyle, I will get a heart attack myself and that will happen at a much younger age than my dad had.
So that day I ate only soup for lunch. I remember a weird thought going through my mind. That afternoon I had to see many sick patients and I got concerned about if I would have enough energy to see all of those patients. In reality I was full of energy, and I easily saw all of those patients, and as a benefit did not have that sleepiness which we usually have around 3:00 to 4:00 pm after a big lunch.
I subconsciously followed the law:
When I stepped on the starting line the very first time, I was surrounded with thousands of real athletes and I really got scared. Most of them were younger than me, in better physical conditioning, and all of that overwhelmed me that I would get injured or even maybe die during that marathon. I was even more scared when I thought about the reasons why I had to put on my bib the contact person in case of an emergency, and I did put my wife's name and our phone number. Even more scary was putting the name of my doctor in case of an emergency, and I put Dr. Don Lee and Glendale Memorial Hospital.
But when I saw Mohammad Ali and Jackie Joyner-Kirsy cheering us on, and when a river of 20,000 runners started moving forward with incredible energy and enthusiasm, all of my fears were instantly gone. I even did not notice how fast we reached the five-mile mark. The mile-18 was very hard, but I did finish two-thirds of the whole marathon already, and I was still in one piece. I was scanning and carefully monitoring mentally my body and it was telling me that I was doing okay. Taking many difficult medical examinations in the past, I had that point of reference that I'm the kind of person who completes my cycles of activities, and that I'm one who doesn't fail and give up without a big reason. Actually, I put that all in God's hands and I was reciting the Lord's Prayer which gave me that new strength and energy.
Passing the finish line is always a very special experience and can be only vaguely compared with getting my medical diploma or with a childbirth experience. That was a beautiful sweet kind of pain that I felt all over my body. Honestly, that is a weird experience that the whole body hurts, all muscles and bones. In my case, my ribs and even those muscles between the ribs and muscles around the ears were hurting me too. At the same time I was incredibly happy, ecstatic and in a state of bliss. I loved everybody fully and genuinely. I even loved my enemies in a pure and sincere way, just the way our Christ is teaching us to do.
Our bodies are temples of the living God and should be beautiful. Isn't that true? Every time when I cross that finish line, it is an experience for me that I am very close with God and I wish that those moments would last forever. That's why I'm hurrying to enroll again for my eleventh Los Angeles marathon. My sincere wish, my dear reader, is to run a whole marathon with you, to share that pure joy and to make it a double joy because this will be a double joy for you, a double joy for me and double joy for all of us.
In a way, it should be our patriotic duty to be healthy, to be fit, to be physically, mentally, emotionally fit, and in a good conditioning so we would never be a burden to our family, to our community and to our society.
Our Secretary of Health, Mr. Thompson, recommends to every overweight American to lose ten pounds as a patriotic duty. What is a better way than to start exercising for your first Los Angeles marathon, my dear reader.
Let us start a Glendale Memorial Hospital marathon training program and promote healthy living. Believe me, it is never too late to start. Many of you are already fit to complete a marathon. Streets are closed for ten hours and it is very special to walk or run through Beverly Hills or downtown Los Angeles when thousands of volunteers are cheering you on, and big bands are playing, and people are dancing just for you; or maybe, you don't complete the whole marathon now, but you complete a half of the marathon or 5K. Everybody can complete 5K; that is on average distance that ladies make regularly while shopping!
It is such a special feeling to carry that medal around the neck, believe me. I personally celebrate the whole next week after the marathon, and I show my medal to everyone.
Even though I am now fifty years old, I still feel that I belong to a group of younger marathon runners, and I feel that I have not lived yet even half of my life. Actually to be more accurate, I have only lived about one-third of my life in my opinion.
So there is nothing special with being fifty years young or old. Important is to even more refine the ways how e live, to keep doing the right things and to live by faith, or religious people would say: “Let go and let God.” Mostly as a result of my running those ten Los Angeles marathons, I changed my lifestyle and the way of my thinking completely. I lost about twenty pounds. I do not drink coffee. I do not smoke. I am a much better father, husband and physician now, and my life is unfolding just as it should.
Would you like me to give you now my spiritual advice?! Here it is! Live your life by faith, have more faith, hope and love as our apostle Paul says in Corinthians 13. Love is the most important one. Love your God and your neighbor as Jesus teaches us that those are tow of the most important commandments. Love your own body, which is a temple of the living God and should be beautiful, young and healthy. Honor your father and mother and respect and love your children. It is an awesome responsibility and honor raising your own children or grandchildren, or in any way positively influencing any other children or any other human beings. How about your own spouse? There is a big crisis of the American marriage as an institution nowadays. Don't you agree with me? But, people did not invent anything better yet than a woman and a man to live together for the better or for worse, for the sick for the health, for the rich and for the poor, until death sets us apart.
That's how I see things should be, my dear readers. There is a big red heart on the top of the Glendale Memorial Hospital building. That big heart can be seen from very far away during the night. There is something special happening in that one small community hospital, but don't forget this is one of the hundred best hospitals in the nation. We already have many employees, nurses and doctors, who completed at least one marathon and contributed to the collective health of our community.
The time has come to do it on a much bigger scale. Let us start practicing now for the next year's Los Angeles marathon and show our patients our personal example of how we can improve our health and our general conditioning. After we complete that, we can go together to conquer Mt. Whitney with me, the highest point in the continental USA. After that, it will be told to ourselves what to do next. Because we will choose the right direction, we will live by faith and we will achieve more, and we will get more blessings that we can even imagine.
Yes, that is the best kept secret in Southern California, and that secret is Glendale Memorial Hospital and its employees, nurses and doctors, who are vibrant, happy, and actually ordinary people achieving extraordinary successes.
Maybe, my dear friend, I already convinced you to start practicing for your next marathon, or maybe not yet. But I'm sure of one thing; You can start practicing now, because now is the best time to improve your conditioning got get your health back.
Because if we do not get our health back now, we will end up in some scary place one day, like some strange nursing home. We don't want that to happen to us.
Remember that one ounce of prevention is worth one pound of cure, and the immortal Emerson said, “Do that thing which is right to do and it will give you power, and the best reward for a thing done is that you have done it.”
The same applied for my Los Angeles marathon, the best award is that I have done it. I will finish with the words of an old wise man I met recently. He said: “Be good, do good, be wise, do wise, and don't get bitter, get better.” And yes we can always get better!

This is our Family
Staff, Dr. Mike Neskovic
I am really impressed and humbled by being a physician on active staff for the last 15 years in our great Glendale Memorial Hospital. It is also an honor and a humbling experience being your Secretary Treasurer, a Medical Staff Officer in one of the 100 best heart hospitals in the nation.
How did we achieve this great honor is still a mystery to me, but I do know the part of the answer. I was a physician in Yugoslavia, in Chicago's best hospitals, in Galina, Illinois' hospital, in Daytona Beach, Florida hospital, and I am on medical staff in all three Glendale hospital's too, but I have never felt that feeling of belonging like I do feel from the very first day in Glendale Memorial Hospital.
All of us associated in any of the hundreds of different ways with Glendale Memorial Hospital, are indeed like a big family. Yes, this is a place where we work, but much more than that. I know personally many of you, some of you are my own patients, who chose this hospital for your own medical needs and needs of your own families. There are many doctors on the staff actually doctor's doctors, which is the highest honor any doctor can achieve. Just to mention a few: Dr. Polito, Dr. Perez, Dr. Don Lee, Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Karayan, and Dr. Finstead are really the best doctors that I ever knew and they are indeed doctor's doctors. They are trusted by many to treat our colleagues, doctors and their families too. When my own father had surgery in Glendale Memorial Hospital, nurses told me that at that same time on the same floor two other doctor's fathers were hospitalized at the same time.
See, my dear friends, our hospital is doctor's hospital and doctors families hospital too.
Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Vatche Bardakjian's father just passed away and sure enough medical staff sent to him words of condolences and flowers. We did talk to Dr. Bardakjian and shared his grief and sorrow with him. This reminds me of that old saying, “A joy shared is a double joy and a sorrow shared is half the sorrow!” This is exactly how we are dealing with our employees, nurses, doctors, our medical administration and our friends here in our dear Glendale Memorial Hospital.
Times are changing dear friends. Our hospital is now 75 years young.
February 23, 2003
It is my turn now to experience the second 50 years of my life and it is Glendale Memorial Hospital's turn to start its second 75 years, and yes for sure we are ready for it. Let us be healthy, enthusiastic, strong, positive, but also humbled with the privilege with sharing this hospital with many great people and humanitarians. Maybe some of you remember a great doctor, late Dr. Elwyn Stiles who was on staff in this hospital for an incredible 55 years. Maybe you remember also Dr. Phyllis Moeller who just retired and who is still so young and healthy. I think Dr. Moeller was the very first woman, Chief of Staff physician. I am proud to say that both Dr. Stiles and Dr. Moeller were and are my special friends and my mentors, and I will always respect, use and honor their great advice, wisdom and example and pass it to our younger colleagues too.
My dear friends, yes Glendale Memorial Hospital is our family. It is indeed a healthy, functional family and I am proud and humbled to be a physician on active staff here and your new Secretary Treasurer, which I consider the highest honor given to me. I also want to welcome our new President and CEO, Ms. Katherine Pelly, R.N. I wish Ms. Pelly to lead our hospital with the Christian love and with healthcare ministry in mind, to help our nurses, doctors and other staff to practice even better medicine and to go boldly toward even more prosperity and success.

PROPER LIVING AND HEALTHY LIFESTLE
S. Mike Neskovic, MD 633 N Central Ave #209 Glendale, CA, 91203 Phone: 818-244 4114 Fax: 818-244 9337 Board Certified in Family Medicine and Geriatrics Active Staff Member at GMHHC and GAHHC Wellness Program Medical Director at Glendale Memorial Hospital Voted Two Times Number one Family Doctor in Glendale PROPER LIVING AND HEALTHY LIFESTLE I am now a family doctor for over 30 years, and I am glad to tell you, family medicine is still my lifelong passion and joy. Actually from age three, I was thinking about health and about helping patients. So in a way, my brain is thinking about health and wellness and helping people for more than 50 years. But in a way, it was easier for me to be a physician first 5 or 10 years, because I recognize now I was like kind of hypnotized doctor and like a robot. What do I mean by that? Well, it is very easy to stay with and quote medical textbooks and to hide behind our professors and just to prescribe medications, which are recognized by majority of doctors and backed by double-blind medical studies. The longer I am practicing medicine the more I am thinking am I helping my patients more and more or maybe less and less. I recognized that we should not put burden only on modern medications and modern technologies to help our patients, but we should go back to the root of the problems and put burden on patients themselves. Indeed, I see more and more patients, who have very poor living habits. Those patients have multiple addictions, and they have problems with taking too many drugs, legal and illegal. We see more and more patients who are sedentary and who are not doing any exercise and patients who put 100% burden on us physicians and less and less on their own healthy or unhealthy living habits. A thought from Jesus Christ comes to mind, and he said “We can resolve all life problems just by two simple things- First by prayer and second by fasting”. And why are we not fasting and praying? What Jesus is trying to tell us that food that we eat is very essential and positive mental attitude toward food we eat and toward our whole life and toward doing right things for the right reason is of utmost importance. We should eat to live, and not only live to eat, says Hippocrates, father of modern medicines. He also tells us: “Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food”. Hippocrates is trying to tell us that food we eat is essential for our health, well being and overall healthy or unhealthy aging. This article is about proper living and healthy lifestyle! What do I mean by that? Well, proper living is listening to our heart and going back to the basics. Remember that old saying: “Early to bed and early to rise and leave to be healthy, wealthy and wise”. People are creatures of habits and yes, if we wake up early, if we have good night sleep our day will be unfolding as it should. That is why I am proposing that we live properly. For example, when should we eat? This is so simple question, but many people would miss the answer. The answer is that we should eat when we are hungry. Probably three meals and two snacks are too much for us. Also our portion control is very important. So, our whole attitude to our lives and living is essential. Remember what good book tells us that our bodies are temples of Holy Spirit! If we accept that as a 100% true, which I as a Christian doctor do accept, our bodies should be beautiful and healthy and would serve the purpose that we serve other people. If we are healthy and if we serve other people, we would be fewer burdens to other people. Also there is a great mystery that when we do something for other human beings, who cannot give us anything in return, this is in a way God’s blessing to us. Did you know that in those moments when we are securing future of some other people our own future is being secured? In conclusion, this article is telling about my dream that all of us live properly and practice healthy life style. As a physician everyday I am telling this same thing to my patients, but I am rarely getting proper response from them. Many of my patients are just simply not following me. Why is it happening? It means that many of my patients are like hypnotized and they are so deeply involved in their own wrong ways of life that they in a way do not believe me that there is any other different way to live. The old saying says that life not examined is life not worth living. I tell that to my patients all the time, and tell them to keep a diary about their lives for at least a week and to report back to me. What do you think how many of my patients come back with a diary? Well, may be one or two out of 100, and this is indeed very disappointing. That is why I decided to write this article and to tell in details what I always wanted to tell all of my patients. We should start doing right things for the right reason, we should start respecting our bodies as a holly temple and our health will start improving and our bodies will become healthier and more beautiful. We are dealing today with epidemics of heart disease, diabetes, chronic lung diseases and many other chronic diseases, which indeed are 80% curable if patients are willing to change bad habits and practice healthy lifestyle. Maybe you didn’t know, but with chronic diseases health care professionals can help only about 20%, and about 80% burden is on the patients themselves to get well. We have in Glendale Memorial Hospital Stanford Chronic Disease Management Program, which is an excellent program to help any patient with chronic disease. This program has trained patients who become educators and they are educated to teach other patient about diseases that they themselves have and that they are very good and skilled in controlling by themselves. The fact that doctor can help usually only about 20% with any chronic incurable disease and that they can help themselves 80% is in a way a healing and liberating statement. Because when patients really know the truth, it will set them free and they will get convinced that their old way of life, full of errors and unhealthy habits is not worth living. So in a way, I am not trying to convince my patients to do what is right or wrong, but I would like them to come to conclusion to get convinced themselves and to start doing what is right. To write this article, I was encouraged by many of my patients and many of my colleague doctors, who were guests on my TV program “Health Line with Dr. Neskovic”. My colleagues and patients are seeing that I am coming from a very special healing place that my whole life is indeed a good example of living healthy, doing healthy exercises, eating healthy, dealing with human emotions in a healthy way and having a great healthy attitude. Yes, if we want to succeed and live healthy life, we need to have a great healthy attitude. I learned many secrets of life from my patients and I collected many great original thoughts from my patients, which I would like to share with you one day. Also being a physician on active medical staff for more than 19 years in Glendale Memorial Hospital, I learned many very useful healing techniques and great advice from my senior colleagues, which I call my mentors and I would like to share that with you. My motive for writing this article is pure one, and the desire of my heart remains to help as many patients as possible. If this article helps at least one patient who suffers from incurable but treatable diseases like severe obesity, diabetes, chronic lung disease or patients with severe incurable headaches, I would be the happiest doctor of all. So please, stop right now and reevaluate your life, make decision to get rid of your bad habits, and your unhealthy life, and start doing exercise five times a week, and you will start growing younger and healthier. With Respect, S. Mike Neskovic, MD.

ADVICE TO MY PATIENTS, FROM MY HEART TO YOUR HEART!
ADVICE TO MY PATIENTS, FROM MY HEART TO YOUR HEART!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: SECOND HOLLYWOOD HEALTHLINE SHOW, ON 8-18-06 WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD TELL YOU? 1. Your health is a very serious business. Mistakes made in past are not possible to correct most of the time. And even when correctable with drugs, drugs have dangerous side effects which can harm your health. 2. So, examine your life regularly, make small corrections constantly. Remember that our body is temple of Holly Spirit, and it should be beautiful. 3. If you got any chronic condition, like heart disease, high blood pressure, headache, depression, anxiety, weight problem and even only high cholesterol, this advice is pertinent for you. And even if your spouse or friend has any of these chronic problems, this advice is pertinent for you. 4. You will never find solutions in body and mind realm only. And even if you get better, you are remaining part of the problem and not part of a solution. 5. Permanent and real solutions are found in our heart and spiritual realm. And this is so hard for so many of my patients to understand and accept. 6. Most of my patients whoa re not getting better are like hypnotized. It is called “Hypnosis of social Conditioning”. We have very hard time to live life correctly, but we repeat mistakes of our grandfathers and fathers, and our culture’s bad habits. 7. Many of my patients are addicted, and even don’t know it or don’t believe it, and would fiercely deny it. Like thy can stop smoking or drinking soft drinks, and especially diet drinks, any time they want- but actually they can not do that. Definition of addiction is that we repeatedly and regularly take something not necessary for our health. And the most difficult problem is with food, because it is hard to distinguish eating to live-for our good health, vs. living to eat. 8. SO WHAT TO DO? 9. First, learn to THINK differently. You become what you think about all day- old philosophers would say. Correct thinking will bring you to your salvation. Think and believe that we are born in SIN- and there are 7 deadly sins. Go on internet, or just read bible carefully, and you will see that you, and me to have at least one or two sin problems in our human nature. 10. Become success in your own life- and I mean success with your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual and even your financial health. Think and acknowledge that you are surrounded with failures, and that real success is something very rare. 11. I know you expect me to tell you to exercise and eat healthy food, but emotional and spiritual aspect of how and what exercise and what food you to eat is 100 times more important for successful and healthy life. And how to do it I call “The art of living”. 12. And “The Art of Living” is hard to explain with words, because it is mostly “Wordless Word”, and you either get it or you don’t get it. It is like a foreign language, for one person those are just unknown sounds, and for the other person those same sounds are a beautiful song or truth which can touch your heart. 13. Let me start with importance of good night sleep. Remember, life liberty pursuit of happiness, and I would put good night sleep as essence of life. One day when you were a small baby you knew very well when and how much to sleep, and you somehow forgot that, and you are right now sleep deprived. So, coming weekend sleep and add those hours of your sleep that you owe to yourself. 14. Become 80% vegetarian, and 20% good fish like salmon and turkey and chicken breast. Actually, my the very healthiest patient is a vegetarian patient. 15. Exercise 5 times a day, according to CDC, and make it 50% aerobic and 50% anaerobic. Get a pedometer and make 5,000 to 10,000 steps every day, and learn to love it, and to get sweat at least 3 times every week. Think health, think of your body as a priceless house for your human soul. 16. Tell the truth and it will set you free- This is timeless truth, and if we do it all the time, we would never get any chronic disease, and we would never have problem with depression, anxiety and stress. 17. Do everything in moderation 18. Examine your life, because life not examined is life not worth living. 19. Find some hobby, something you really love to do (like I have this program, I love with all my heart), and your life will start unfolding as it should. 20. Join any kind of group activity that you love, like church, walking group, become student again, and you will automatically become healthier and live longer. 21. Be good son, daughter, spouse, and friend, be responsible, honest and friendly, and give love without expecting to get love back. 22. Don’t be controlling, live and let live, become patient, because if you don’t become patient, you will become patient. 23. Listen to your heart, heart has 40,000 brain cells which communicate you’re your brain all the time. Because if you think with your heart, you will never be wrong. 24. Learn to always win. How? Well, when you win, you already won, but even when you fail, you learn a lot, and you win in a way also, so you always win. 25. So, see my dear friend, I tried to tell you something, and maybe I succeeded, and maybe not, because what I wanted to share with you is wordless word, and only your heart can tell you that, a pure heart which comes from your healthy spirituality, and some psychologist call it “Healthy psychological functioning., and The Art OF Living—THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY DEAR FRIEND. And don’t forget that joy shared is double joy, and sorrow shared is half sorrow, so please share with each other all bad and all good, and this is how we can live our lives better, and grow and prosper. 26. My son Marko recently showed me difference between suffering and discipline. I was telling him how I suffered to become doctor. But Marko said that was not suffering, that it was actually DISCIPLINE. And he was correct. Yes, all of us need more discipline, and not to be lazy. Emerson said it well:” Do that thing which is necessary and good for you to do, do it and it will give you power!” And yes, we need more of that kind of right power, power to say no when no should be said, and power to say yes, when yes should be said. 27. With love and respect, and until the next time, this is your Dr Neskovic. It is already great succees to understand what is wrong. That means that we unlearned some false beliefs that were blocking us from understanding. Get that special feeling, thought and AHA experience, and it will set you free, and healing will start. PAY ATTENTION TO YOURSELF, BROTHER! OLD MONKS AND PHIOSOPHERS ARE TELLING TO US, BECAUSE WHEN WE REALLY PAY ATTENTION WE WILL GET THE ANSWER AND START LIVING OUR LIFE IN RIGHT DIRECTION. LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH DIGNITY, AND YOU WILL DIE WITH DIGNITY. I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE. UNAWERENESS OF OUR PROBLEMS IS ROOTH OF ALL EVIL. MAYBE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, BUT REFINED SUGAR, BLEACHED FLOWER, ARTIFICIAL SWEATENERS ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. MAYBE YOU DIDN’T KNOW IT, NOW YOU KNOW, AND NO EXCUSE. AVOID DEAD FOODS MADE WITH REFINED SUGAR, BLEACHED FLOWER AND ARTIFICIAL SWEATENERS. THE PROPER WAY OF VIEWING THINGS IS ESSENTIAL, VERY IMPORTANT, TO LIVE LIFE CORRECTLY, AND TO LEARN ABOUT THE ART OF LIVING. BE GOOD , DO GOOD, BE WISE, DO WISE. OLD INDIAN MAN ONCE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR GOOD LIVING. TRANSCEND LIVING YOUR LIFE FROM FEELING GOOD, TO BEING GOOD, EROM GATHER, FROM TOGETHER TO BEING UNITED IN A FITTING WAY. DON’T FOLLOW THE WRONG EXAMPLE: LIKE IN THE STORY ABOUT FOX WITHOUT LEGS AND THE TIGER BRINGING FOOD TO FOX. RULE OF ST. BENEDICT FROM 6TH CETURY: AUSCULTA- LISTEN. TO REALLY LISTEN MEANS TO SURRENDER, TO TRUST, TOLOVE. AND WHEN YOU RELLY LERN HOW TO LISTEN, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE, WHICH ARE QUALITIES OF THE ARTS OF LISTENING. AND ACTUALLY LISTENING, HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE ARE HEAVENLY VIRTUES. WHEN I WAS 50, IT CAME TO ME FROM ABOVE TO LISTEN AT LEAST TWO TIMES MORE THAN THAT I SHOULD SPEAK. That’s why god gave us two ears to listen and one mouth to speak. With Respect and God Bless. Sincerely, S Mike Neskovic, MD
