Currently
I am in a private Naturopathic research practice, which is holistic in nature, emphasizing natural and non-invasive therapies. Principal modalities used include health risk analysis and life-style optimization, nutrition (dietary and supplements), exercise prescription, stress management, botanical medicine (herbs), physical therapies, homeopathy, acupuncture, E.A.V. (electrodermal screening), psychological counseling, manipulation of the joints and soft tissues and more conventional therapies (drugs and minor surgery) when necessary.
I am the Chairman of the Board of U.S. Complementary Health, Inc., a consulting corporation (medical institutions, government agencies, insurance companies, manufacturers). I am a special consultant for external research affairs at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and member of the Arizona State Naturopathic Physicians Board of Medical Examiners. I am Director of Research and Development at Western Research Laboratories, and COO and Medical Director of NiTek International, Inc. I have appeared in the media and have experience lecturing to a variety of audiences nationally and internationally, as well as teaching experience in a classroom setting. I am a consultant to the health food industry.
