This is a short verson of Dr. T's Full CV.

Dr. T, a Medical Doctor trained in Europe and the USA, is board-certified with the American Board of Oxidative Medicine, with the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, and a candidate with the American Board of Chelation Therapy. He is a Professor & Certified Clinical Nutritionist with the Clinical Nutrition Board of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists; a Doctor of Chiropractic (trained and licensed in the USA), a Licensed Nutritionist (Minnesota); a Fellow of the American Board of Disability Analysts; and member of the ACA Council on Nutrition. He is President Emeritus of the University of Natural Medicine (Santa Fe, New Mexico), where he is Dean of Medical Sciences and Professor of Functional and Nutritional Medicine.

Dr. T is founder and president of: FDH Foundation - certifying Biological Dentists (BioDentist.org), Electro-Magnetic Pollution Remediators (EMFPollution.com), and Health & Nutrition Coaches (NutritionalHealthCoach.com) locally (minneapolis doctor) and internationally, thus promoting cutting-edge scientific health-related knowledge and technologies that empower people to prevent and reverse disease; of Integrated Healthcare Clinics (IntegratedHealthcare.org) - the first multi-disciplinary, multi-practitioner clinic integrating holistic and allopathic medical services under one roof; and of Ecopolitan (Ecopolitan.com) - the first sustainable, environmentally & ecologically-sound non-profit restaurant offering 100% organic vegan wholesome uncooked cuisine, Wine - Juice - Oxygen Bar, Infrared Sauna, an Educational Community Center, and an Eco-Shop - selling non-toxic natural home & body products and organic packaged or bulk raw foods (Ecolicious.com). Dr. T promotes “Eco-Raw Living” (EcoRaw.com) - as a model for optimal cellular health and for the principles of sustainability. He provides online nutritional advice and Lab Tests for most health challenges, and sees patients in Minneapolis (Eco-Healing.com) 3-4 days a month, releasing them rapidly into independent self-care by utilizing the free resources at Ecopolitan. He assists many other patients nationally and internationally during his travels or via phone consultations, and has non-surgically removed various skin growths (moles etc.) from thousands of patients worldwide, plus practices wilderness medicine in remote, impoverished areas as a volunteer.

Dr. T’s other non-profit activities include organizing and guiding humanitarian Community Eco-Tourism Treks in Nepal; creating healing and education eco-retreats (Eco-Stay.com) in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Thailand, and Nepal; founding the first urban Eco-Spa (RawBeautySpa.com) and Eco-Hostel in the USA; medically directing CCODER Nepal Community Health Plan (CCODER.ORG), benefiting 150,000 Nepali people; serving on Boards of non-profits & cooperatives; appearing on radio and TV shows; and lecturing internationally on medical, environmental, and nutritional topics to doctors, nurses, and lay people. Additionally, Dr. T has been consulting for various commercial, military, government, and community organizations, and is writing books and producing CD’s of his popular ‘Ask Dr. T’TM lecture topics at Ecopolitan. All these activities and web sites, designed to joyfully preserve our health and conserve our planet’s resources for future generations, are harmonized at Eco-Health.net.

Previously, Dr. T served 5 years in military intelligence; obtained his Bachelor of Music (highest honors); completed professional requirements for a Master in Conducting; conducted & performed internationally as soloist and with vocal and instrumental groups on various musical instruments; taught many instruments, music theory & harmony, and other topics (history, Hebrew, bible) in schools and universities. He has owned and managed real estate properties and businesses in several countries on four continents.

Dr. T received his MD degree from the prestigious Russian State Medical University (3rd prize winner of the UNESCO competition of medical schools, ahead of famous universities such as Oxford and Cambridge) and completed clinical rotations at several hospitals and clinics in the USA in addition to the many University hospitals in Moscow. Thus, he has medical training that most MDs educated in the USA do not have. He is licensed to practice medicine in most European and Asian countries. Under his professional US licenses (as a Doctor of Chiropractic and as a Licensed Nutritionist), he can utilize every aspect of holistic scientific medicine he deems effective, including advanced laboratory tests, so that a USA MD license is not essential for his care of patients or his consulting, research, writing, and educational activities. Moreover, his freedom to practice comprehensive nutritional, environmental, functional and cutting-edge preventive medicine is not impaired under his two Professional Licensing Boards.

Dr. T’s approach to patient care relies on science-based education and advanced functional laboratory tests (assessing the potential causes and process of disease) needed to reverse or prevent disease progression; to predict individual susceptibility to various disorders; and to enhance productive longevity. This leads to individualized nutritional and functional therapy. The patient must take responsibility for her own health, and therefore becomes less dependent on doctors (holistic or allopathic) except for occasional lab or clinical monitoring. This type of care is more effective and less costly or risky. Dr. T works with fatigue, fibromyalgia, cancer, viral-bacterial-yeast-parasitic infections (herpes, Lyme, Candida), cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes, weight gain, OBGYN issues, Detoxification, chronic inflammatory conditions, depression, anxiety, cognitive dysfunction (loss of memory, focus, etc.), genetic – genomic susceptibilities to toxins, developmental spectrum (ADD/ADHD/PDD/Autism) & auto-immune disorders (lupus, arthritis scleroderma, etc.), chemical sensitivities, food and environmental allergies, gastrointestinal-digestive problems, osteoporosis, ear & throat infections, sinusitis, childhood disease, neurodegenerative diseases (MS, dementia, Parkinson, Alzheimer, ALS), dermatitis, eczema, acne, moles (natural, pain-free, non-surgical, non-scarring removal of most skin growths), and other internal and external health challenges. Those interested in his approach may call Dr. T’s assistant, Ecopolitan’s Joe Noreen, at 612-870-2974.

Advanced Laboratory Tests

Among the many laboratory tests Dr. T offers, here are some of the most popular functional tests:

1. Comprehensive Digestive, Metabolic, and Microbiological Stool Analysis – important for anyone with chronic symptoms. Degenerative, digestive, & nutritional conditions are frequently associated with gastro-intestinal tract dysfunction, which affects every system in the body. This tests analyzes 30+ parameters, including fungal/yeast/bacterial overgrowth with culture for effective natural or allopathic therapy; multiple bacterial/ecological imbalances & parasites; pH & pancreatic enzymes function; fat, protein, & carb digestion; dyspepsia, putrefaction, and mal-absorption; bile & immune antibody production; and inflammation markers. Add-on: H. pylori; anti-gliadin Ab (gluten sensitivity); Salmonella & 3 other toxic organisms; C. Difficile; hemo E.coli & its toxin.
2. The ALCAT Diagnostic System for immune reactions/sensitivities to foods, molds, chemicals, etc. - scientific studies implicate food and environmental sensitivities as important factors in a large variety of chronic, degenerative, and developmental disorders. This blood test is not limited to antibody-mediated reactions; it reveals hidden and delayed reactions involving a broad spectrum of immune responses, leading to inflammation, joint & abdomen pain, mood and cognitive disorders, H2O retention, & weight gain.
3. Functional Genomic Tests - a variety of genetic panels designed to reveal frequently-occurring genetic tendencies towards common illnesses, which can be prevented with individually tailored nutritional and environmental intervention based on the test findings. This can potentially enhance health and extend life significantly, since genetic factors are crucial to longevity yet they are often ignored. Currently, four such panels are available: Detoxigenomics, which reveals weaknesses in metabolism of various environmental, nutritional, and artificial (drugs) toxins as well as internally produced toxins such as hormones and neurotransmitters; Cardiogenomics, which exposes genetic tendencies towards lipid abnormalities, hypertension, atherosclerosis, homocysteine elevation (a major factor in the development of heart disease, related to genetic inability to convert folic acid into its active form), and others; Immuneogenomics, which shows tendencies towards inflammation, auto-immune disease, infections, and immune system imbalance; and Osteogenomics, which displays genetic factors increasing osteoporosis risk.
4. Organic Acid Testing (OAT) - this comprehensive urine test is very useful with children (and adults) who suffer from learning and developmental disorders (e.g. ADD, ADHD, Autism) and metabolic disorders (e.g. chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia). It reveals genetic and metabolic tendencies, gut imbalance and infection, toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, and much more.
5. AMAS (Anti-Malignin Antibody in Serum) - a blood test for early detection of cancer. Extremely accurate, it is ideal for anyone with family or personal cancer history, carcinogenic exposure, high cancer risk, inconclusive cancer diagnosis, undiagnosed tumors/growths, or for screening, early detection, and prevention.

6. M2PK - a simple, highly accurate, inexpensive stool test for early detection of specifically colon cancer and rectal cancer, which renders the uncomfortable, potentially risky, and toxic (sedatives) colonoscopy screenings almost completely obsolete!
7. Heavy Metal Tests in Urine (with or without provocation), stool (especially in babies and small children), Red Blood Cells (when the patient’s mineral status is desired), and/or Hair specimens - identifying exposure (usually from dental amalgam, contaminated seafood, or occupational activity) and tissue storage of mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and other toxic metals that are associated with chronic or acute disease (especially neurological, immunological, and metabolic syndromes, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, allergies, and various auto-immune disease).
8. Dental Materials Reactivity – this blood test evaluates immune compatibility with over 4000 oral restoration materials prior to dental treatment. Some dental materials, even if not known as strong toxins, may cause significant damage to sensitive individuals.
9. Salivary and serum Hormone tests – analyzing adrenal stress and sex hormones in the saliva offers many advantages over conventional tests. DHEA and cortisol hormone levels are important immune markers, and indicate the capacity of the body to handle various stress factors. Estrogen and progesterone level reveal sex organ function and shed light on menstrual cycle disorders.

    

10. Various tests for nutritional deficiencies, which help in identifying hidden or underlying causes of chronic disorders and preventing disease formation, as well as increasing productivity and longevity.
11. Pathology-Oriented, discounted Specialty Tests , such as Osteoporosis Risk assessment (presence of bone metabolites in urine); Ferritin Test for accurate iron storage status (crucial for those at risk of iron overload, a common dangerous condition); accurate vitamin D status test (over 90% of Americans may be functionally deficient in this critical hormone-vitamin); Complete Thyroid Panel (often missing in “routine physicals”), with optional Free T-3 (the active thyroid hormone) and Reverse T3; B-12 test, CRP (C-Reactive Protein), homocysteine, and fibrinogen (crucial cardiovascular markers usually ignored in “check-ups”); various cancer tumor markers (CEA, HCG, AFP, CA-125, CA-27/29, PSA); glucose & Insulin; complete blood chemistry (includes electrolytes, important enzymes, liver, kidney, and complete thyroid function tests, blood proteins and lipid spectrum plus ratios, urinalysis, and complete blood count with differential and platelets); Viral tests (EBV, CMV, Hepatitis, herpes); Lyme disease; and many others.
