What is Dr. Lanny Up To?

What am I up to?

Dr Lanny March 26, 2012

Thank you for asking. I am asked this question so often. This phase may just be a salutation, but I have learned many have a curiosity about my various endeavors. A blog seemed like the best way to answer this question on a regular basis. In addition, this blog provides a means for me to keep track in an organized fashion of what I am up to.

The purpose is to record and relate what I am up to these days. The information will be in one place for recording memoirs and historical events. It will be a place to document the present and consider the future.
I expect to regularly make entries concerning various categories: physician/surgeon; medical research and development; the golf adventures and Life. You may see a recent post or follow the topic that might interest you.

Let me know what you think as this blog will becomes my “Lectronic Legacy” in what ever time remains.

Answering the frequently asked question (FAQ) of what am I up to now?

Dr Lanny March 20, 2012

A BLOG seemed the best and most efficient means of answering the FAQs on a regular basis. It might be said that I wear multiple hats or have many interests. Discovery in medicine will always be the main topic. However there are other categories; Golf Adventures, Inventions, and some Christian writings. Hopefully the BLOG will be a format to tell what I am up to in each of these main endeavors. It seems almost daily there are interesting events; at least to me. Perhaps the events may be of interest to others.

I want to make it clear, I am not retired. Retirement it is bad for one’s health. I concluded my clinical practice in 1995, but work regularly in these various endeavors. I do not see anywhere in the Bible where retirement is to be desired or realized. I have told my daughters that I will not be speaking at my retirement party.

From time to time I will answer publicly herein those questions that recently surfaced and may be of general interest. I will not be recording what I had on my hot dog at a ball game, let alone focus on mundane events.

I trust I will accomplish the intended goal of answering “What am I up to?”

Borrowing your way out of debt?

Dr Lanny April 14, 2020

4/14/2020: It appears that the prevailing government principle that it is possible to borrow oneself out of debt. Will they be suspending the law of gravity?

Yesterday, today and again tomorrow the government, business and individuals have increasing debt. More debt tomorrow than today and on and on. How does that work?

https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Record-government-and-corporate-debt-risks-15210446.php

The government can print the money. They can tax or allow for inflation.
Most likely there will be inflation for business and individuals and increased taxation. Will we need wheelbarrows instead of wallets as in Germany years ago to go shopping?

A forgotten ancient proverb says “Owe no one anything but to love them!”

Dr. Fauci’s argument critique

Dr Lanny April 14, 2020

4/14/2020: Dr. Fauci’s argument discrediting the malaria drug for coronavirus patients is somewhat misleading. It is true that the randomized double blinded studies are the gold standard in medical science research. It is also true the hydroxychloroquine has been used for more than 50 years in other conditions with minimal complications. There are published studies in peer reviewed journals from France of the successful use in COVID-19 patients.

However, Fauci knows better, but ignores the fact that historical controls are a valid means of producing valid reliable data. For example, if it is known that a given condition results in 100% mortality in 6 weeks even with the present treatments. This forms a historical control. The result is that everyone dies.

With his historical control, a known medicine is given according to law where the doctor patient relationship allows a licensed doctor to prescribe an “off label” drug. An “off label” drug is one approved for another condition. In the best judgement of the doctor and the informed consent of the patient the medicine is given. This is legal and medically ethical. That is what is being done with hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.

Back to my example. When a series of medically well-defined patients have been followed for 6 weeks with the “off label” drug and 50% live it is accepted as valid research based upon the historical control. Only bureaucratic doctors who do not or perhaps never went face to face with a patient would withhold a potential safe reasonable treatment waiting for FDA approval.

What is being done in practice and benefiting patients with “off label” drug is legal, ethical and scientifically sound.

Protection Old and Present

Dr Lanny April 12, 2020

4/12/2020: The Judeo-Christian Biblical world view requires the blood of the lamb for a protective covering. The first time was for the Jews in Egypt. The second time was for the first Christians, the Messianic Jews in Israel. Then evermore for those that recognize Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the Messiah.

The literature in Number 9:1-14 describes the first Passover. In verse 5 the instructions are that “the lamb be unblemished”.

In verse 7 the instructions are given on where and how to make the blood covering: “They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.”

In verse 13 the protection thereof is declared; “The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you….”

After nine fair warnings from the Lord God of Israel to Pharaoh of the consequences of not granting liberty and freedom for His people the Jews, this is what happened. “Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.” Those with the blood covering were spared.

This deliverance is memorialized annually at the Feast of Passover.
The second sheading of blood was at Calvary, which was consistent with the Jewish law and faith. According a letter written to the Hebrews (9:22) of that day it is recorded, “And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

This sheading of blood was also from an unblemished lamb, the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ. The initial intent was for the forgiveness of sin as a person agrees with the written document concerning the validity. However, the validity is not an intellectual agreement alone, it is one of agreement of the person’s will, their very soul. At this moment the human spirit is born again by the Holy Spirit. The new indwelling Holy Spirit then communicates with the person’s being in a manner not previously experienced, thereby giving spiritual confirmation to the person and also then to their intellect.

This blood covering brings liberty and frees the believer from the bondage of sin, past, present and amazingly future.

This blood protects the believer from the death angel as they are granted eternal life after their born-again spirit leaves their earth suit (body).

Interesting parallel in a day we are looking for protection.

Easter Sun and Son

Dr Lanny April 11, 2020

4/12/2020: The sun is a powerful energy source.

The son is a powerful energy source.

Romans 8: 11: But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Notice the “but if”.

Why God is not doing something

Dr Lanny April 4, 2020

4/4/2020:

This lesson was personal for me. It may be for you as well.

Christians are praying for God to do something about the coronavirus. The presumption seems reasonable that only God could intervein. However, nothing seems to be happening. So, we pray more frequently and fervently. God returns with the response, “it is up to you”. How could that be? “I already have told you how to achieve healing.” When was the method given and where is documented?

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Look at this carefully for the conditions.

If my people, which are called by my name (Christians in this dispensation; that is me)

Do what? shall humble themselves (no pride) and pray (intercede) and seek my face (intimate relationship and no faking it)

and turn from their wicked ways (oops). I thought we had to get the non-believers to change their ways to have things improve. No, it is me and maybe you. Yes, it is me. I have complied.

The above is necessary to get a hearing and a response. then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

We are to go about it as instructed in Romans 12: 1-3.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (It is not unreasonable.)

And be not conformed to this world (No conformity to the ways of the world) but be ye transformed (Changed and How?) by the renewing of your mind, (What is that going to prove?) that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

(Further instruction is point-on for most of us) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

That takes me back to the first word of instruction to get change started; humbling myself.

Tampa Pastor should be arrested

Dr Lanny March 30, 2020

3/30/2020: Pastor Rodney Howard-Brown in Tampa should be arrested. He violated the law and put his parishioners at risk. He has a long history of non-Biblical practices including recommending Christians bark like dogs when “worshiping” God. Crazy again.
