I began my career in nutrition after being cured of a severe case of hives, for which I was treated with heavy medication for 13 years. In 1977, my condition was dramatically reversed by a nutrition/vitamin program (Shackly Vitamins). Being convinced that there was an alternative to drugs/medication I began my journey by studying nutrition and naturopathic medicine. In 1984, I received a B/S and M/S degree in Science of Nutrition from Donsbach University, California. While living in the Caribbean, 1983 and 1984, I completed botanic medicine and naturopathic medicine with the International College of Natural Health Sciences (England), (Barbados campus). Well acquainted with Naturopathic medicine and Homeopathy (called Heilpraktik in Germany) (also very prominent throughout Europe), I was finally able to realize my dream and received my N.D. degree (naturopathic medicine diploma) in 1985 with an eclectic study in that field by completing courses prescribed by several Health Science Universities.

In 1984, I became an active member of the Metabolic Research Foundation. Under the guidance of Harold Manner, Ph.D., Professor of Biology at Loyola University and the discoverer of Laetrile, I completed an internship at the Manner-Cydel Cancer Clinic in Mexico in 1985 and became a member metabolic physician, treating many patients with terminal illnesses. During this time I served as medical director of the Alpha & Omega Alternative Health Care Center in Congers, New York, a multi-discipline practice of chiropractic and medicine.

It was during that time that I met Joseph Scogna, Jr., scientist, researcher and founder of the Life Energy Research Foundation and began studying his system. Scogna had developed a very sophisticated computerized system for research, called SAF (Symptom Awareness Format) and an Infra-Red Sensing device (digital thermography), jointly developed with Micron Instruments. This revolutionary system was taught at the foundation’s school in Reading, Pa., at 24 monthly modules. Scogna’s system was then and is now still far ahead of its time, and with the help and knowledge of Dr. Scogna I was able to develop an allergy testing and therapy program, that is on the cutting edge of success in allergy treatment/ desensitization using homeopathically formulated antigens.

During the next fifteen years 1984 to 1999, I continued my studies in homeopathic medicine at various centers in the United States, including the American School of Oriental Medicine & Homeopathics in Miami from 1984 to 1986. My studies in homeopathy led me to Mexico, Canada, Germany and several times to India, where I studied with Dr. S. K. Banerjea of the Bengal-Allen Medical Institute, Calcutta, India, and in 1987 earned a DHt. (Diploma in Homeotherapeutics). Later that year, I was awarded a degree in alternative medicine M.D. (MA) from Medicina Alternativa, a University of the World Health Organization, for contributing to this new science of “alternative medicine”. In 1994-1995 I studied with Dr. Andre’ Saine, in Canada, at the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy and also attended the 1995 summer school program of the National Center for Homeopathy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

In 1991, I completed a second B/S Degree in Biology from New York University, and in 1992, graduated from the New York College of Chiropractic. I have been licensed in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Florida.

In 1997, I was board certified as a CCN (Certified Clinical Nutritionist) with the IAACN (International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists), and also became a Diplomate (DACBN) of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition.

In the field of chiropractic medicine, I studied flexion/distraction – disk therapy with Dr. James M. Cox, developer of the Zenith Cox Flexion table. During my last two years in chiropractic school, I studied “Nimmo” trigger-point therapy, “Travell” myofascial trigger point therapy, myofascial release therapy with John F. Barnes, P.T. founder of the Myofascial Release Technique Institute, and A.R.T. (Active Release Techniques) with Dr. P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, for soft tissue management and pain relief. Through referrals from an MD, I was able to relieve much suffering and pain in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I completed 100 hours of AK (Applied Kinesiology) with Drs. Goodhardt/Cordaro and 100 hours of Advanced Radiology with Dr. Russel Ehrhardt.

In 2000 I moved to Naples, Florida, with my wife, and in 2004, opened the Healthy Advice Chiropractic clinic, serving patients suffering with all types of health issues. While continuing my research in allergy therapy, classical homeopathy and nutrition, I am able to provide professional education and support to physicians in the field of bio-energetic medicine.
