Barnet Meltzer, M.D.
Barnet Meltzer, M.D., is a pioneer and well-known expert in the field of Preventive Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Clinical Nutrition. Dr. Meltzer owns the distinction of being the first medical doctor to enter the field of Preventive Medicine in Southern California, and is a board certified physician and surgeon with over 30 years of clinical experience as a practicing primary care physician. As the founder and Director of the Meltzer Wellness Institute (MWI), Dr. Meltzer is a leading authority in health, wellness, and metabolic nutrition. He has a well-deserved reputation as Southern California’s #1 Wellness, Weight Loss, and Energy Coach.

Dr. Meltzer’s credentials include graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (the first Ivy League medical school). Upon graduating from medical school, Dr. Meltzer completed his internship at UCLA and served two years of surgical residency at the University of California Medical Center in San Diego (UCSD).

Since opening his medical clinic in 1972, Dr. Meltzer has developed an international following with people from all over the world seeking his consultation. His signature wellness programs go beyond the integration of Eastern and Western medicine, and draw on the most effective dimensions of health, wellness, and healing techniques from around the world—including Europe, South America, India, China, and the United States. These programs are designed to empower his patients with tools and strategies to promote a lifetime of wellness, vitality, happiness, and preventing disease. By incorporating the healing arts of the North, South, and East with scientific principles of modern Western medicine, Dr. Meltzer offers a dynamic blend that gives him an unparalleled edge in nutrition and health. This, coupled with extensive clinical experience—overseeing more than 60,000 patients in his career—has put Dr. Meltzer at the forefront of Preventive and Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Meltzer expanded on his eclectic approach to health and wellness when he was granted a scientific visa from the Colombian government in 1975. During this fact-finding expedition, he was able to study the lifestyle and living habits of remote villages in the Andes. It was here that he refined his expertise and philosophy on healthy lifestyles and preventing disease. Upon returning to California, Dr. Meltzer created a step-by-step nutritional detoxification program, which to this day remains a cornerstone to his wellness programs.

As the 21st century begins, we are all looking for effective alternatives to costly health care and the overwhelming physical concerns that face our aging nation. Dr. Meltzer believes “the least costly illness is the one that never occurs.” As a leading author, professor, and motivational speaker, he has created a variety of pioneering wellness programs that promote permanent weight loss, optimal health, anti-aging, and increased energy and vitality—keeping Dr. Meltzer at the leading edge of innovation in the field of health and wellness.

Dr. Meltzer has recently published The Best Kept Secret to Permanent Weight Loss, an in-depth book that incorporates much of his knowledge that he has acquired over the past 40 years.

Moe Rock
At 15 years old in Iowa, Moe Rock was very impressed by the visit of Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi to his school. Shirin Ebadi was the first Iranian and Woman ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s something he never forgot. In fact, meeting Shirin Ebadi is something that affected Moe deeply and still does.

Perhaps it is quite appropriate then, 4 years later, that Moe’s song “Ah-Low” has been downloaded over half a million times directly from Iran and has become an anthem of protest.

Moe has had mentors along the way like Rich Cronin (LFO and recently the reality tv show on VH1 ‘Mission: Man Band’).

Humility, patience, and persistence are the traits that define new R&B artist Moe Rock. At the tender, young age of 19, Moe possesses impressive maturity with a new and unique writing style. “I’ve had offers on the table that most musicians dream of, but I wasn’t gona sign away my soul or sell out. I’d rather go hungry than be a millionaire who has to fake his music.” Indeed, Moe Rock has turned down record deals to maintain total creative control over his upcoming album. He believes that singers should write their own songs from the heart, and he will never compromise his principles.

The first generation son of immigrants who escaped the deadly streets of Iran during the war, Moe began writing music for himself and other artists four years ago at the age of 15. He is now one of southern California’s fastest spreading and most talked about young artists. Because Moe understands his humble beginings, 10% of his sales go to help orphans who lost their parents to war in the Middle East.

Moe has recently started a campaign asking all entertainers and musicians to wear a green wristband supporting Democracy in Iran.

John Nichols: ‘A Serious Question Of Character’

(The Nation) This column was written by John Nichols:

For many Americans, the measure of a candidate seeking the presidency comes down to questions of character.

Perhaps the most important of these is: How does he or she react under pressure?

It is certainly reasonable to surmise that, if a candidate cannot handle the rigors of the campaign, then he or she might have trouble tackling the responsibilities of the office.

It is this fair test that John McCain has, in recent days, been failing – badly.

There is no question that McCain has been hit hard by the success of Barack Obama’s trip to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East and Europe.

After essentially demanding that Obama make the trip — with the implicit suggestion that the presumptive Democratic nominee for president was not up to the challenges of the international stage — the Republican candidate and his supporters then whined about the fact that the media was paying attention to Obama’s travels.

As it turned out, McCain was right to worry that reporters, and by extension the American people, would be paying close attention to Obama’s global tour.

The Democratic candidate went from strength to strength, He focused attention on the mess that the Bush administration has made of Afghanistan, advanced the discussion of how and when to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, met with both Israelis and Palestinians on a successful transit of the Middle East, earned not just respect but encouragement from world leaders, consulted knowledgeably with U.S. generals and enjoyed the cheers of troops who treated him as their next commander-in-chief.

Desperate to find something to complain about, McCain seized on the fact that Obama did not visit wounded U.S. troops at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

The McCain camp has even gone so far as to suggest that the failure of the Democratic candidate to use wounded troops as the backdrop for a campaign-style visit to Germany “casts serious doubt on his judgment and calls into question his priorities.”

Video: John Nichols on Impeachment

Video is from December 2, 2007

“The Founders desperately wanted us to know that we have the power to continue the Revolution….Impeachment is the embodiment of the spirit of the American Revolution.” John Nichols explains the historical and Constitutional imperative for Congress to uphold their sworn duty and use the tool of impeachment to rein in the unprecedented power grab of the Bush presidency.

He edited Against the Beast: A Documentary History of American Opposition to Empire (Nation Books), of which historian Howard Zinn said: “At exactly the time when we need it most, John Nichols gives us a special gift–a collection of writings, speeches, poems, and songs from throughout American history–that reminds us that our revulsion to war and empire has a long and noble tradition in this country.”

With Robert W. McChesney, Nichols has co-authored the books, It’s the Media, Stupid! (Seven Stories), Our Media, Not Theirs (Seven Stories) and Tragedy and Farce: How the American Media Sell Wars, Spin Elections, and Destroy Democracy (The New Press).
