ABOUT

Humanity has been enraptured by electricity for millennia. 

​

The ancient Greeks used electric rays, a type of fish, to treat gout

and numb the pain of childbirth and operations. 

​

Equally intrigued, ancient Egyptians stood on electric rays to control pain. 

​

Walt Whitman wrote “I Sing the Body Electric” in 1855. 

​

In 1899, Tesla found that the earth was “literally alive with electrical vibrations."​
​
“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe,” he said,

“think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”​

​

Now, bioelectronic medicine is treating disease using electricity.

​

​Bioelectronic medicine represents a convergence

of molecular medicine, neuroscience, and bioengineering. 

​

Its central idea is that injury and illness can be treated by

carefully targeting the nervous system using devices.

If you are exploring options

to access this therapy, please contact 

the Feinstein Institutes or SetPoint Medical.

Please note:

I am not available

to personally assist patients.

​

I will not respond to emails,

nor will I respond to messages sent

to any of my social media accounts.​

Rather than suppressing the immune system with biologics and immunosuppressants, instead, by modulating the brain’s inflammatory signals traveling through the nervous system to the spleen and other organs, allowing the body to achieve homeostasis when inflammation goes into overdrive. ​​​​

And that is what happened to me. ​​​

​​

I am no longer working in the field,

but to do so for the many years that I did 

was the privilege and honor of a lifetime. ​​​

​​​​

I spent a long time telling my story,

but now it’s time for me to go live it.

​It’s a funny thing to experience firsthand the transformation from disabled to thriving, and it may come with side effects, such as:

​

an overwhelming level of excitement over finally being able to chase your dreams, and even discover new ones,

and wanting to do it all but not knowing where to start.

​

...and if I may share a little nudge to help you along, speaking from experience...

​

Whatever your dream is, you don’t have to know how to do it, nor do you need to know where it’s going, to just start doing it.

​

And I can’t wait to see what you do.

​

By ‘many dints of victories’ – we will, indeed, live to see the field of bioelectronic medicine make it through to the other side –

that glorious place where it is practiced every day in clinics and hospitals all over the world,

no longer a revolution to be fought for, but a fact of life to be lived among.​

​

As for me, I'll be out there somewhere, squeezing every last drop out of what Mary Oliver called my 'one wild and precious life.'

​

Maybe I'll bump into you out there one day.​

For now, I leave you with a ‘watered-down’ version of my ‘Rules of the River.’

​

As the field continues to revolutionize healthcare, there will be companies

coming out of the woodwork claiming to have developed bioelectronic medicine devices.

​

Has the device been FDA approved following rigorous clinical trials? 

​

And if so, has the device’s mechanism of action been fully elucidated by independent labs, and validated via peer review?

​

Attaching the term ‘bioelectronic medicine’ to a device

doesn’t make it bioelectronic medicine any more

than standing in a garage makes you a car. 

​

 The mechanism of action for the devices clinically tried by the pioneers at SetPoint Medical has been proved and elucidated

by labs all over the world, from its scientific home at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research,

all the way to the home of the Nobel Prize at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. 

​

Over time, more devices will emerge that meet the same rigorous standards, and technology will continue to improve.

​

In the meantime, there will be companies who skip those metrics and will claim that

health is right on the other side of Amazon Prime, but alas, it is not.  

​

On the flip side of the equation, this field is going to transform how medicine is practiced.

​

Historically, any time the accepted dogma has been disproven,

it is first vehemently denied by those with a stake in the status quo.

​

However, real progress can't be deterred by the Peanut Gallery.

​

Bioelectronic medicine is now in the homestretch for FDA approval for RA, and it is my hope that both

the FDA and insurance companies will allow access to other patients with inflammatory diseases,

just as they do with biologics and immunosuppressants. 

​

I encourage you to raise awareness about the field and its proven scientific mechanisms, and call on your doctors,

fellow patients, and legislators to expand access to all patients with inflammatory diseases.
