Summary

• I am now fully retired from medical practice ( Anatomical and Clinical Pathology with Post Residency training
  In Medical Microbiology and Molecular
  Diagnostics).
  I have collaborated with Dr. Willy Burdgorfer and Dr. Tom Schwan in my
  Lyme disease activities.
  My research interests have embraced
  Borrelia Burgdorferi, Miyamotoi, and Mayonii infections, Gestational Lyme Borreliosis, Sudden Infant Death, NeuroOphthalmogy of Spirochetal infections ( with J Lawton Smith MD),
  And the categories of Dementing
  Illnesses caused by or linked to chronic
  CNS spirochetal infections ( Syphilis, Leptospirosis, and Borreliosis)
  I have posted free lectures on the internet
  Devoted to plain English commentaries
  On Lyme Borreliosis and its pathological substrates.
  My website -http://www.molecularalzheimer.org.
  In retirement I am working on a monograph “ Pathobiology of Spirochetal
  Infections” with Cambridge Scholars Publishers. This will consist of about
  20 chapters and an atlas of about 1000
  Images from my pro bono consultation
  activities and research collaborations.
  
  I became a pathologist because I was more interested in Diagnosis than in
  Direct patient care, and because Sleep Deprivation in Internship instructed me
  To find a work environment appropriate for
  My body type.
  
  I admire my classmates who have stayed with direct patient care and who embody
  “ For the Most High, Cometh Healing”
  Which is carved in stone over the
  Entrance at 630 W 168th St.
