Over 42 years, he has treated more than 13,000 Lyme and tick-borne disease patients and advised HHS, the New York State Department of Health, and agencies worldwide. He pioneered the MSIDS model and has published peer-reviewed work on short-term oral generic protocols that have put many patients into long-term remission, including reversal of the Alzheimer's biomarker p-tau 217.
