Summary

  • I practiced Alternative and Metabolic Medicine part time for 25 years in addition to my role as a Radiation Oncologist. Since I was a biochemist before I was an MD, I think differently about medical problems and patients would come to see me who didn't want to use drugs. Since many "diseases" are actually metabolic in nature, correction with supplements worked. Cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic disease, so treatment with conventional therapy was always combined with low sugar diets and high doses of glycolysis inhibitors. We had some amazing results at times. I would not change my interesting life for any other endeavor.
