Tiny Toy Magnets Pose Danger to Kids

We all know that little children can’t resist putting things into their mouths. It’s one of the ways they explore their new world. But this practice can often be dangerous, especially when it comes to tiny magnet toys.

These toys are composed of high-powered magnets the size of BBs and even smaller. You can twist them into an endless array of fascinating shapes and are irresistible to adults as well as children. So our concierge primary care doctors in Jupiter want to explain the danger to kids that can be involved in having these toys around the house.

Vaccinations

In recent weeks, Florida has become “ground zero” of this summer’s COVID-19 outbreak, currently making up a fifth of all infections and hospitalizations in the country. This is due to the highly contagious delta variant.

So we’d like to offer some answers to common COVID-19 vaccine questions.

MD 2.0

So our primary care concierge doctors at MD 2.0 in Jupiter want to bring you up to date on all the latest research to help you decide for yourself if eggs are good or bad for your health.

Declare War on Mosquitoes This Summer

MD 2.0

Environment

For the past year-and-a-half, we’ve been at war against an unseen but deadly coronavirus. But our family practice doctors in Jupiter, Florida, want to remind you of another war humanity has been fighting for millennia: the one against mosquitoes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the pesky mosquitoes are more than just a summer annoyance. It’s one of the world’s most deadly animals.

COVID-19’s Possible Impact on Men’s Fertility

MD 2.0

Vaccinations

As our primary care doctors in Jupiter have told you before, the COVID-19 vaccines don’t impact fertility. Yet this unfortunate and untrue rumor persists.

Ironically, however, infection with COVID-19 may eventually prove to cause a loss of fertility in men, according to a recent study. It’s still too early to tell whether the condition lasts beyond a few weeks. There appears to be, however, little doubt that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been detected in the testes of laboratory animals and humans who have contracted COVID-19.

Is Handshaking Gone for Good?

Healthy Living

One thing our primary care doctors in Jupiter were not sad to lose during the pandemic was the ancient tradition of handshaking. It’s not because we’re anti-social. Quite the opposite, in fact. We love meeting new people, as well as seeing people we haven’t seen in awhile.

When people avoided each other, wore masks, and bumped elbows instead of shaking hands when they did meet, the incidence of other communicable diseases plunged. Science says the reduction in handshaking played a big role in that.

COVID-19 Drop Causing Another Illness in Children

MD 2.0

Children, Concierge Medicine, Disease

Our primary care doctors in Delray Beach want to advise you of an unforeseen and unfortunate consequence of the drop in cases of COVID-19: an increase in another illness among children.

Those who are vaccinated—as well as those who aren’t—are mingling more in public without masks. Social distancing is now almost a thing of the past as many have come to believe the pandemic is over. (It isn’t, since just under half of Americans are fully vaccinated for the virus.) This change in behavior is leading to a rise in one particularly serious illness in children, RSV.

What Is An Anti-Inflammatory Diet?

MD 2.0

Disease, Healthy Living, Nutrition

Our primary care concierge doctors in Jupiter have told you many times about the dangers inflammation poses to your health. Often, the best way to reverse these dangers is by participating in an anti-inflammatory diet.

Inflammation is necessary to keeping the body healthy. But when your body is repeatedly assaulted by various harmful stimuli such as pathogens, injuries, or poor lifestyle habits, the inflammation never ends and can eventually cause long-term damage.
