Areas of research

Regenerative medicine as applied to inflammatory conditions, musculoskeletal injuries and disease as well as progressive degenerative disorders. 
Wellness and anti-aging. 
I am particularly interested in advancing medicine in regards to application of anti-inflammatory modalities as this is the basis of all aging and physical deterioration. In fact, I have long considered aging as a disease process, dictated by sets of inflammatory reactions. Application of regenerative products and various treatment modalities targeting decreasing systemic inflammatory reactions will emerge as the mainstay of excellence in medical care as will individually tailored protocols.
