In January of 1996, I became aware of some amazing work, using computers to train the brain, being done by Dr. Siegfried Othmer at EEG Spectrum in Los Angeles, California, utilizing EEG Neurofeedback. I immediately began their course of study to become a Certified Neurofeedback Therapist. Since that time, I have been blessed to work with and assist hundreds of children and adults to permanently remediate the syndromes known as ADD and ADHD as well as other issues of Learning Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and Post Concussion Syndrome.
During my many years of personal and professional study, I also became thoroughly grounded in the knowledge and use of vitamins, herbs and nutriceuticals, as adjuncts to, or replacements for, conventional agents (drugs). And so it became natural for me to integrate these into my practice wherever prudent. In 2005 and 2006, I applied this knowledge, my existing degrees and life-work to-date to the study and acquisition of an Alternative Medical Degree. In January, 2007, I received my degree as an Alternative Medical Doctor (A.M.D.), specializing in the field of Alternative Medicine, from the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine, Calcutta, India.
As an avid cyclist, I am well acquainted with the needs of the body in a high performance environment. My quest for more and more knowledge in this area intensified as I noticed the effects of aging on my own performance, in spite of optimum life style and mega-vitamin intervention! While reading about the latest advances in age management medicine, I came across Cenegenics Medical Institute (CMI) and a conversation with Dr. Alan Mintz, MD, it’s founder and CEO, ensued. The astute science behind CMI's programs were a perfect match for my own knowledge and quest. I became a patient of CMI and after six months on the Executive Health Program, I was so impressed with the results that I chose to complete the rigorous CMI Physician Training Course. In 2005, I became a Certified Age Management Physician by Cenegenics. This gives me the knowledge and expertise to manage my patient's Age Management needs. [All cases requiring prescriptions are appropriately reviewed by my consulting M.D.]
In 2008, after reading the book 'THE OXYGEN REVOLUTION' by Dr. Paul Harch, I added Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to my practice. I had tried HBOT and experienced the benefits of breathing 96% pure oxygen through a small mask while lying in a pressurized chamber. I had also been aware of the powerful results obtained by several prominent athletes - such as cyclist, Lance Armstrong and NFL receiver, Terrell Owens - in sports recovery and rapid healing from injuries. The addition of HBOT has revolutionized my practice by giving me another tool for establishing one of the essential background conditions for healing.
Most recently: I have become a Certified Reconnective Healing Practitioner. THE RECONNECTION™ is a new healing frequency brought to this planet through Dr. Eric Pearl. He was blessed with it spontaneously and after several years of healing hundreds of patients, some of them with "incurable" disease, he has chosen to teach what he can of 'allowing' these new frequencies to come through to heal oneself and others. I humbly offer this healing to my patients with the ultimate goal being their highest good without the need for other therapies or the need to come to me in the future - except to laugh and visit! see www.thereconnection.com
Also, I am a student of Indian saint, Sri Sai Kaleshwar. I returned from his Ashram in October, 2009 with increased Healing Energy and a deeper understanding of the human condition. I look forward to sharing this with my patients. You can read about him and his Divine mission at www.kaleshwar.org
