<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Richard Carlton, M.D. I'm a member
of Gotham's Health and Longevity group.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Announcing that NYU Langone has invited me to
give a presentation
on the
benefits (and limitations) of CBD and Medical Cannabis. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The talk will take place on Monday Sept. 23<sup>rd</sup>
at
6:00 pm. The address at NYU is 550 1<sup>st</sup> Ave (at 31<sup>st</sup>
Street),
Founders
Hall B. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It\u2019s part of NYU\u2019s Cardiac Prevention series,
and
these
talks are open to the general public. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can just walk in, but if you
know in
advance that you\u2019ll be coming they would appreciate your letting
them
know \u2013 so
that they\u2019ll have a sense of how many people might come to the
reception. You can
let them know by phone at 646-501-2190, or by email at <a
href="mailto:hearthealth@nyulangone.org">hearthealth@nyulangone.org</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I\u2019m an Integrative Psychiatrist with 45 years\u2019
experience using
natural, non-drug approaches to treating psychiatric as well as
medical
problems. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A quick example of my approach: One of Gotham\u2019s
leaders came to see me
because
her blood pressure had been remaining dangerously high despite the
four
cardiac meds she was on. I encouraged her to eat beets and beet
powder,
because
these allow blood vessels to dilate - which in turn lowers
resistance in the vessels.
Her blood
pressure promptly came down 10 points. Happy camper. BTW, this
particular approach is the logical "medical translation" of the
discovery that nitric oxide is a neurotransmitter, that it
controls the tone of blood vessels, and that certain foods (like
beets) can increase its production. The scientist who did the core
work on this won the Nobel Prize for his discovery.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I prescribe Medical Cannabis, and have seen
numerous
successful
outcomes. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For people who are just looking for CBD (not
THC), I guide them to
brands that
I know to be trustworthy (organic) as well as reliable (that is,
that
actually
contain the amounts of CBD stated on the label).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ideal referrals for me are:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. People who want to
explore
natural approaches to their health issues (whether psychiatric or
medical). <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. People who want a second opinion, and would
like a discussion with a physician who thinks
outside the
box, has a great Rolodex, and allots enough time to think deeply
about the issues. <span style=""><br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">I accept regular Medicare.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have offices in Midtown (on W. 34<sup>th</sup>
Street),
and in Port Washington. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you\u2019d like to contact me, call on my cell at
917-697-423. If by email, you\u2019ll get a faster response by using my
personal
email (rather than my Gotham email): <a
