From the desk of Dr. Phuong Thach:
The Omicron variant of SARS-COV-2 is an incredibly contagious variant. While the transmissibility rate (R0) of the Alpha variant was R0 = 2.5, the R0 for Omicron is 8.0. The Omicron variant virus replicates 70x faster than the Delta variant. So far, it appears that this particular variant has produced the least severe symptoms compared to the previous variants. Nevertheless, it should not be taken lightly because for many people are still experiencing enough severe symptoms to need hospitalization. The most remarkable observation we have witnessed from this variant is its breakthrough infections that are occurring among both the vaccinated and those previously infected with COVID-19. In other words, you can still catch this variant even though you are vaccinated or have been previously infected by a previous variant. The good news is that if you are infected by Omicron, the symptoms will most likely be mild and you have a high probability of having immunity to both the Omicron and Delta variants. Regardless, I urge you to take precautions and do everything you can to build your immunity and body’s natural defense.

If you have not worked with me to a build a personalized immune boosting protocol, I highly urge you to do so.
Or if you know of someone who needs help overcoming COVID, please have them contact me.
You can make an appointment online through my website: www.hawkerhealth.com or call/text: 425-333-7878

Thank you, and praying you stay happy and healthy during this time!
Many blessings,

It is almost unimaginable that any of us were able to escape this past year and half unscathed. The world as we once knew will never be the same. These noticeable shifts in our society have severely impacted our mental, emotional and spiritual health. To find peace during these time of turmoil and unrest, we must turn to our Creator to find peace and comfort.
In this post, I share with you some of my favorite Bible verses that I refer to almost daily to help me get through these tough times. These verses not only provide motivation, inspiration, comfort, peace, and strength, they also give me understanding to what is happening in our world and what to do. I pray that God's Word will bless you.
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

There is a disease out there that is killing people, not because it isn’t treatable, but because people are playing politics with human lives and preventing the sick from gaining access to early, proper therapeutics. Therefore, before you trust the advice from the politicians, the public health official, the news reporter, a doctor, any health professional, some person who works in a hospital, a pastor/priest, or any person who has no medical education or training whatsoever, ask them this question:
“How many SARSC0V2 patients have you actively overseen and managed their care as well as successfully treated?”

To answer the question I have posed: As of today, I have seen almost 100 patients in regards to the disease, ages ranging from 22-86 years with varying degrees of comorbidity ranging from no comorbidity to more life-threatening comorbidities (such as congestive heart failure), with a 100% recovery rate before the need of hospitalization (with 0 having to be hospitalized).

It is important you remember this post, your life or the life of someone you love may depend on it.

May you keep God close, especially during this difficult and troubling time.

This past year, I have helped a plethora of patients of all ages prevent, overcome, and recover fully from COVID. As the medical director of my practice, I made the decision to provide a variety of services and therapies, including offering the COVID vaccine to all adults who desire to get vaccinated. Therefore, my medical understanding and experience with COVID patients and the vaccines are extensive.

Today, the governor of Washington state, Jay Inslee, announced a vaccine mandate for all state employees, private health care and long term care workers (1). This requirement is heavy-handed and, in my opinion, dangerous from a medical as well as a public policy perspective.

A reminder to all that these vaccines are still in experimental stages and only approved for emergency authorization (though this may change soon). Anyone who says that these vaccines are completely safe is being irresponsible because side effects do occur, especially for those who have a propensity towards certain diseases, and we do not know for certain what the long term effects are. In this post, I have included the FDA's working list of possible adverse event outcomes from the vaccine (2).

In the public health sector, personal liberties are sometimes sacrificed for the "greater good", and we have seen that exercised in the past (though, does it make it constitutionally sound?). However, in an interview by CNN with CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky - she states that "these vaccines no longer prevent transmission of COVID"(3). Therefore, Washington state and other state governments are forcing (not asking) individuals to give up our God-given personal liberties to take an experimental vaccine with a poor promise of eradication of this disease or face termination of their jobs and livelihood.

Friends, in the past year, we have been lied to and played by mercilessly by authoritarian forces. We have lost lives because people were playing politics and rewriting "science". We are at a precipice of losing our God-given rights which are protected by the US Constitution, and for what? A therapy that makes no promises with their makers having zero liability when COVID is treatable? The definition of coercion is "using force to persuade people to do things that they are unwilling to do". Where does one draw the line? When should one take a stand? If not now, then when?

It is difficult to imagine that any of us were able to escape this past year unscathed. While many of us may not have been directly affected physically by COVID19, riots or political unrest, the world as we knew it has changed significantly, and in fact, may never be like it once was ever again. These noticeable shifts in our society have severely impacted our mental, emotional, and spiritual health, whether we'd like admit it or not. In addition to dealing with turmoil on a macro-scale, many of us also face turmoil and upheavals in our personal lives that continuously pound our psyche.
Today, I would like to share with you a message, and that message is: "It is okay to grieve". In our society, we are often taught to act "tough", "hide weaknesses", and "present ourselves as if everything is okay". Dear brothers and sisters, there is a difference between "acting" versus "being". Today, and moving forward, I urge you to "be" instead of "act and suppress", for acting and suppressing cause more problems than one can enumerate. If you are hurting, it would be courageous if you were to allow yourself to grieve - to recognize the feelings of sadness, hurt, anger, pain, or whatever it may be and sit with the discomfort for a little while. Cry if you need to; it's okay to cry, especially for you men, it's okay to cry. Dig deep and be vulnerable enough to be able to share your pain with others and with God. We were not created to be alone nor grieve alone. In Psalm 34:18, "God tells us He is near when we are broken-hearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit". "Cast your burden onto Him and He shall sustain you" ~Psalm 55:22.

Good morning my Brothers and Sisters!

Are you feeling anxious and depressed? One of my areas of expertise is in mental health, and I have tremendous success in helping individuals overcome anxious and depressed moods because I treat people in a holistic manner.

Here is a list of things that I highly recommend that you ask your practitioner to do/help evaluate for to help you if they aren't doing so already, in addition to counseling, which I do in my practice that I have found to be highly helpful in getting people to overcome anxiety and depression (this is just snapshot of what I do):

1) Analysis of your genomic profile - there are things called "single nucleotide polymorphisms" that not only tell us if a person has predispositions to anxiety/depression, addictions, etc but analysis of the profile can tell us if the person has difficulty producing vitamins, hormones, neurotransmitters, or metabolizing certain drugs. It also tells us the best drugs and supplements for that individual to absorb to help mitigate their symptoms.

2) Analysis of food allergies - Food allergies can cause a lot of inflammation not only in the body but also in the mind and can cause symptoms like anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thought (one of the reasons is that some foods cross the bloodbrain barrier). Identifying certain foods and taking them out can allow the body and brain to heal from the inflammation and

3) Analysis of current neurotransmitters levels - I order a test for my clients where I see exactly how high or low their neurotransmitters are. This is very helpful because we can supplement to provide immediate relief.

4) Using natural medicine such as botanical/herbal medicine - I believe there is a place for pharmaceuticals but for the majority of my cases, I have been successful using natural medicine to help people and I have found that natural medicine has the ability to do things anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medicine cannot.

5) Most importantly: Is your doctor praying for you and with you? - Power of Prayer is extremely important! I pray with my patients in the office and I pray for them daily out of the office. God is the Great Physician and He is only using me to help His people. I can tell you that when I first started practicing, I was shy to pray with some of my patients, and with the patients whom I was praying with in-office got better quicker than the patients I was too shy to pray for. So now I ask to pray with all of my patients and pray with them when they allow me to.

Beloved, I pray that you find this list to be helpful and that this can provide a unique perspective to further help you on your journey of healing.

Remember, we serve an almighty God and that "with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. (Mark 10:27)".

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" (Phillipians 4:13)

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phillippians 4:6-7)

"Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4)

And lastly, I just want to tell you that you are loved by the most powerful being in the universe, and that is our God.

God bless you, my Brothers and Sisters!
