This is a new program focused on Migraine and other conditions of “painful neuroinflammation” such as Fibromyalgia, CRPS, Cluster Headache, and Neuropathy that will also have direct relevance for conditions of “nonpainful/painless neuroinflammation” such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autism.
Let your friends and family know about this new resource so they can learn from an experienced doctor, professor, and author of dozens of articles and books!
I have been publishing on Nutrition, Pain, and Inflammation for more than 30 years, starting with my first articles published in professional magazines and journals in 1994
I started writing scientific-medical articles in 1994, and I became a Professor of Orthopedics and Rheumatology in 2000 and 2001, respectively. My course notes were eventually published at textbooks for doctors as INTEGRATIVE ORTHOPEDICS (2004,2012) and INTEGRATIVE RHEUMATOLOGY (2006,2014) and eventually expanded into INFLAMMATION MASTERY 4TH EDITION in 2016.
Inflammation Mastery 4th Edition: The Colorful and Definitive Guide Toward Health and Vitality and away from the Boredom, Risks, Costs, and Inefficacy of Endless Analgesia, Immunosuppression, and Polypharmacy

I have helped tens of thousands of doctors and patients through my books, presentations, and articles.
I have published peer-reviewed scientific articles on
NEUROINFLAMMATION,
FIBROMYALGIA, and
CRPS—COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME
I myself also had fibromyalgia (cured in 2015) and CRPS (cured in 2021) so I have much more than “academic perspectives” on these topics, as I had to live these conditions daily and had to eventually cure myself!
I have published peer-reviewed scientific articles on
AUTISM and
GUT MICROBIOME DYSBIOSIS:
I have published many articles and books/chapters on dysbiosis and the human microbiome; I also produced a 30-hour CME (continuing medical education) course for doctors on microbiome/dysbiosis—its pathophysiology and its treatments.
As you know, many “influencers” pretend to be experts, but they clearly don’t have either the clinical experience or the teaching/authoring experience that differentiates “influencers” from true “experts.”
