It's hard to believe that 30 years ago, I received my MD from the University of Miami

I have explored different lines of Flower Essences such as Bach Flowers, the most well known line. They are said primarily to help with emotional blocks. I haven't used flower essences regularly until I started to use Australian Bush Flower Essences. (https://ausflowers.com.au) According to my advanced muscle testing system, they meet the needs of most of my patients as compared to Bach Flowers. They have become one of my favorite tools to help with emotional blocks to help bring the body into a more parasympathetic state. Another line that I like is Floralive (www.floralive.com)

I am honored to be one of two holistic doctors selected by Dr. Evette Rose to be MInd-Body Medicine Partners for her work. Her work on emotional and trauma blocks have been invaluable in helping my stuck cases move forward. This allows my work to be more effective and in turn, my work helps her work to be more effective. Part of what makes our partnership work so well is that my advanced muscle testing system and medical intuition are closely aligned with her energetic assessments.

Using his advanced muscle testing, the following energy patterns are what is typically scanned for at each visit:
-Lyme, co-infections, and other bacteria
-mycotoxins
-candida and other fungi
-parasites
-viruses, including Long haul COVID
-interference fields from scars, tonsils, dental cavitations
-airborne allergies
-food sensitivities
-hormone deficiencies
-toxins
-cancer and pre-cancer
-coronary artery disease
-emotional and spiritual blocks
-MCAS, POTS
-what treatments/supplements would be tolerated and beneficial. Includes nutrients, detox and immune system support, antimicrobial support
-what are the person's main blocks to healing?
-and much more depending on the individual's specific needs and concerns

I've had the honor of studying under many great clinicians such as Drs. Dietrich Klinghardt, Simon Yu, and Savely Yurkovsky. However, my greatest teachers will always be my patients, particularly the ones I have trouble helping. This was perhaps said best by Yoda, "The greater teacher, failure is."

I went into integrative medicine because I wanted to help people who could not be helped by conventional medicine. I eventually learned about Chronic Lyme and mold because conventional medicine could not help them. I eventually learned multiple modalities for treating Chronic Lyme because no one strategy worked for everyone. Over the years, I've attracted many patients who are unresponsive to every integrative, Lyme, and mold doctor they've worked with. Of this group, some did not respond to my strategies and many of them moved on to try other things. A few wrote nasty online reviews about what a fraud I am. There have been moments when I wondered if I should quit medicine or go into a more profitable and less frustrating area of integrative medicine such as anti-aging or running an I.V. clinic.

However, I have a burning curiosity as to why some people struggle to heal. Until my curiosity has been satisfied, my patients will remain my greatest teachers.

I was honored to have written Chapter 9 on my experience with energy testing, Autonomic Response Testing, and intuition in complex medical illness such as Chronic Lyme Disease. It's available from Amazon at https://a.co/d/09g6JqBk.
I could probably write a second chapter based on what I've learned since then.

Hardly anyone talks about this because the answer can only be explained by metaphysics and detected by those with the gift of perceiving it. A simple explanation is "energy leakage" from the auric field. According to metaphysical teachings, there is a subtle energy field around the body called the auric field. One of its functions is to keep your energy within your field and foreign energy out. Sometimes, the auric field can be breached causing a leakage of energy which is often replaced by foreign energy. This is most commonly caused by trauma. With the energy leakage, there is not enough energy for the body to heal or to correctly process treatments such as medications or herbs. It also put a huge stress on the limbic system and causes energetic testing systems to get inaccurate results. Typically these are people who have seen multiple practitioners and tried multiple therapies with little or negative results, including mine. In my practice, this is a common reason why some people are hypersensitive to most treatments. I can detect this phenomenon with my advanced muscle testing system. This phenomenon can only be corrected by highly skilled and gifted healers. After trying several over the years, I realized that that very few in the world are skilled enough to properly correct this phenomenon along with the underlying trauma. For those who are leaking energy, I actually suspend most treatments until this issue is mitigated because most treatments will not yield long term results until then.

Short answer: only with the most skilled and gifted testers. There are those who have negative reactions no matter what supplement they take. The goal of muscle testing systems such as Autonomic Response Testing (A.R.T.) is to find tolerable treatments. However, I've seen A.R.T. select what should be a tolerable treatment but there was an unexpected reaction. Having no shortage of hypersensitive cases in my practice, this pushed me into developing an advanced muscle testing system to more precisely find what is both beneficial and tolerable. It has taken several years to develop. As of now, the system is not 100% foolproof but unexpected reactions are much less common than in the past. I would argue that one of the characteristics of a great muscle tester is how well he/she deal with hypersensitive people.
