Biographical Info/Interest in Integrative Medicine I have always been interested in health and started running in 1968 and have been exercising ever since. I went through formal medical school to learn how to become even more healthy. Eventually I networked with physicians from American Academy of Environmental Medicine and American College for the Advancement of Medicine that started me on my integrative medicine educational journey. My greatest interest in medicine is exposing accepted myths about health practices and promoting integrative forms of medicine to the general public and health professionals. My passion is to facilitate a radical transformation in the way healthcare is practiced, which I am doing through mercola.com and my participation in IntegraMed Academy. The modalities that I primarily use in my practice are nutrition, exercise and emotional healing through energetic means, such as Emotional Freedom Technique. Using these methods I have had extremely high success in treating diabetics if they comply with my recommendations. I have had much experience and success with rheumatoid arthritis patients having treated over 3000 of them.
