My purpose in working in preventive medicine for over twenty years has been to help slow and possibly reverse the rapid rise in chronic disease globally. Chronic diseases are those which develop over time, such as, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, and the like.
It is my desire to blend my solid scientific training received at UCLA School of Medicine with my extensive experience of consulting with patients in over 30 countries around the world. Having traveled to and experienced so many varying cultures with their widely diverse medical traditions, I have acquired a perspective that has enabled me to uncover the common thread in essentially all chronic diseases. I aspire to incorporate the best of these medical traditions while exposing any unverifiable trends or fads that usually mislead and harm the uninformed. With my unique international experience, I hope to be a rational, balanced and scientifically-based voice in a very unstable time in world health.
