I've been a pioneer for over 30 years in integrating nutrition, dermatology, Applied Kinesiology, and Holistic Medicine into the practice of dermatology. I'm a founding member of the American Academy of Dermatology's Task Force for Nutrition and Evaluation of Alternative Medicine, and I'm a board-certified dermatologist.
I've written a number of scientific articles on nutrition and herbal medicine in dermatology, and I've written the chapter on holistic skin treatment in the seminal textbook Fitzpatricks Dermatology in General Medicine. I've lectured locally, nationally and internationally to both dermatology and complementary medicine organizations, and have been quoted in numerous popular magazines like The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Oprah.com.
I have a strong background in research methodology in the science of cellular immunology. More specifically, I elucidated key concepts linking environmental factors to inflammatory disease, during 3 years of investigation of human lymphocyte recognition at the National Cancer Institute in the 1970’s. Results of this work are published in peer review journals where I presented at plenary sessions of the Society of Investigative Dermatology.
