Osteoporosis
Fibromyalgia
“Ladies and Gentlemen of the audience,after being seen and evaluated by multiple medical specialists, poked and probed with every conceivable standard diagnostic medical test, the esteemed medical committee’s summary diagnosis for your symptoms of diffuse multiple muscle pain, joint pains, fatigue and flu-like feelings of ‘no known cause’ over these past 6 months to several years is...........FIBROMYALGIA!!” “You are awarded a lifetime of symptomatic pharmaceutical treatment escalating towards multiple drug dependancy!!”
Pediatric Care
After completing my residency in family practice I worked almost 90 plus hours a week in a HMO clinic. It was here that I began family medicine from clinic to hospital,urgent care to even house calls. I was delivering babies, doing general pediatrics, in office gynaecology, internal medicine and osteopathic manipulation. I would see typically 40-60 patients a day.I was on call usually every 4-5 weekend from Friday until Monday morning and delivering 4-5 babies a month! Even with that heavy of a clinic schedule I would manage to spend about 15 -30 minutes with every patient.This was unheard of even to this day of HMO medicine. My naiveté of the health care system in the HMO model was replaced rapidly as I sat on patient chart reviews mandated by HMO insurance carriers and carried out by their hired ‘hitmen/women’ . I will cover this in more detail in my blogs later. It was there I decided that medical care has a moral imperative to root out the cause of disease and not just treat symptoms. It is my personal belief that a physician’s primary role is to aid in helping nature heal if not cure disease ,to think outside the standard western medical paradigm and by whatever positive reasonable means available, palliate the pain and suffering of the individual while maintaining the dignity and quality of the indiviudal’s life.Over the last 20 years I have traveled and studied with many truly dedicated ‘healers’ of many of the healing professions.
Family Practice
I am an Integrative Physician board certified in Family Practice,practicing for 20 years in Chicago. I have studied ,explored and applied a variety of wholistic medical therapies and philosophies for over 30 years.My earliest studies began in humanistic and transpersonal psychology at the California Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in the mid 70’s. Over time this lead me into sleep research specifically sleep apnea,at the Stanford Sleep Center working for 4 years with Christian Guilminault,M.D., William Dement, M.D. and others.
Emergency Care

Female Infertility
Endometriosis
Estrogen metabolism, in women and in some men, play’s a key role in the regulation of health and disease. Research over the past 5 years has found that the way estrogen is metabolized-broken down in the liver and either recycled or eliminated through the small intestine, will trigger chemical events in cells that have a marked disease potential. We see this in such health problems as endometriosis, obesity, PMS, infertility, osteoporosis as well as cancer of the breast, uterus etc.

Physical Therapy
Establishing what does and does not hurt is challenging at times. Pain can come from muscle both deep and superficial, tendon, ligament, joint capsule even bone. A thorough orthopedic and neurological exam is essential. Many times I’ve been referred a patient with what was initially presented to me as intractable fibromyalgia was later discovered to be a series of muscles acting on skeletal joints biomechanically imbalanced. In other words, some muscle groups were tighter on one side of a joint than the other pulling the joint slightly out of it‘s proper biomechanical alignment thus affecting nerves, arteries, veins and other muscles associated with it. Using acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, massage, physical therapy, Chinese herbs, homeopathic medicines and supplements will help decrease muscle pain and inflammation and restore proper musculoskeletal alignment.Overstretched ligaments also can be a source for such intractable pain. By making the proper diagnosis, if this is the case,then ligament regeneration injection technique has been very useful refer readers to my August 2002 article on this subject in Conscious Choice magazine*.
