Q: Do you offer specialized pediatric care?
A: As I mentioned at the beginning of this interview, my original training was in pediatrics, so pediatrics continues to be an important part of my focus and is a special area of focus that I can offer that other integrated physicians can’t offer.

Q: You mentioned the use of lab tests; can you tell us a little bit about how these lab tests might help you with your treatment plan?
A: Sure. Normally a doctor will order a certain lab test and will look at the results. Maybe the results are normal, they are high or they are low, and based on these results your doctor might prescribe a certain medication or say I am sorry you might not feel well but all your lab tests are normal. The endobiogenic approach is to use a system called the Biology of Functions, which is again developed by Dr. Duraffourd, and it is a modelling system using a special computer program which takes common labs and runs them through an algorithm in order to understand how your body is functioning from the inside out, so rather than simply looking at lab results and saying if they are normal there is nothing wrong with you, we are able to understand at a deeper level functional imbalances in your body.
The Endobiogenic Method

Can you tell us little bit about endobiogeny and the endobiogenic concept?
Endobiogeny is a system of medicine that was developed in the early 1980s by Dr. Duraffourd and his team of physicians including Dr. Lapraz in Paris, France. The endobiogenic method is truly a revolutionary method because while it is firmly based in the western model of medicine and physiology and its central concept is about understanding how hormones are managing your body, how it departs or is different from the traditional medical training for example that I received in medical school is that it seeks to integrate and understand the root cause of a patient’s illness. So we take the symptoms and signs and the lab tests and we integrate it into a truly deep understanding of why a patient has a particular imbalance. And you will notice that I use the word imbalance instead of disease, because in the traditional model of medicine we are looking for a disease name and oftentimes people are put in the category of the disease and when they come to me they say my doctor said I had this disease and there is nothing I can do about it, or they will say I have had this disease and I don’t respond to any of the medicines that my doctor said I should respond, so what’s wrong with me? My approach is not to look at a disease name, but to simply look at the imbalances which exist in the body and try to help stimulate the body’s natural healing potential and to rebalance the body.
