I graduated the medical school in Bucharest, Romania and completed my Internal Medicine residency training, becoming Board Certified in the United States. I worked in private practice for sixteen years afterwards, but the last seven of them were more and more plagued by symptoms of my autoimmune disease, that forced me to retire prematurely. The breast abnormalities added new worries along the way and my migraines' pattern also became much worse over the years.

I never worked in research, but I was myself the subject of a long lasting experiment. Being a doctor and a patient at the same time allowed me to notice unusual facts, and even if I dismissed them initially, I realized they were repetitive and real.

I could have titled this book "Of Mice and Me," not because it shares any similarities with John Steinbeck's famous novel, but because so many things from the mice studies apply to me!

Currently, many concepts that I describe, are not usually taken into account in medical practice (even if backed up by some research), but maybe some day they will. Until that happens, I'm sharing my improvements hoping that other affected people may benefit from them.

Since most of my literature research was made after I no longer practiced, I couldn't verify if other patients noticed the same unusual facts I did.
This book is my only way to inquire if other people experience the same correlations and improvements I did.

By keeping up with the new information and continuing to read and research relevant literature, I acquired more knowledge after the book was published. I made other observations as well.

As you'll notice, on my site I'm not selling any products, not even my book (it sells through Amazon only). I do not have any links to vendors or advertising and this makes perfect sense, since nobody knows me or has any special interest in me. I am anonymous. I wrote this book trying to spread the word, not to make a profit. That's why I did and will continue to have freebies and giveaways. ...more

In medical school, one of my professors said that "in human biology almost anything it's possible'"and this is something I've always remembered and helped me cope with sudden changes in my health.

Updates About Carcinogenic Benzene in Sunscreens

A few weeks ago I wrote about Valisure (an online pharmacy that tests every batch of medication it sells), finding unacceptable levels of benzene—a human carcinogen.This is a follow up regarding that, because some brands were voluntarily recalled by Johnson & Johnson. FDA is currently investigating, trying to find out the root cause of this. Presently, there is no FDA recall.https://www.fda.gov/sa Read more of this blog post »
