Over the course of many years of work, experience, and reflection, I have increasing clarity and appreciation regarding the nonacademic influences on my academic and professional life. Despite 4 years of undergraduate study and 12 years of doctorate-level study culminating in 1 undergraduate degree and 3 doctorate degrees, I am very clear that most of the influences and information that shape and create the structure of my presentations and publications never arrived to me within the walls of a classroom. A statement like that latter one would be very easy to make by someone who tends to disrespect social structure or who lacks reverence for the shoulders of giants upon which one later stand
We receive Dr Czeranko's book "Vaccination and Naturopathic Medicine" with urgent necessity as we witness pro-vaccine hysteria rage uncontrolled across the United States and spread by political extension to other countries. Reasoned debate, intellectual discourse, scientific inquiry, and consideration of reasonable and perhaps even synergistic options have all been slashed and burned by politicians, partisan "scientists", and medical organizations, most of whom are paid directly by the drug companies that make the vaccines that are later forced into the bodies and brains of uninformed and unconsenting children and adults. Most doctors have no idea that the very medical groups they were taugh
Previous work: I accept credit for pioneering many important ideas and concepts in the study of microbial dysbiosis; I published these ideas in the first edition of my Integrative Rheumatology in 2006 and also in several articles around that same time, including “Nutritional and Botanical Treatments against ‘Silent Infections’ and Gastrointestinal Dysbiosis, Commonly Overlooked Causes of Neuromusculoskeletal Inflammation and Chronic Health Problems”, Nutritional Perspectives 2006 which is available at https://www.academia.edu/3862817/ and http://inflammationmastery.com/reprints/vasquez_part6_2006_dysbiosis.pdf. In 2015, I updated my information on dysbiosis and published the work as a small
History of previous work: Most people --especially clinicians and healthcare students-- who are familiar with my work know that most of my teaching originated from the work that I did when I started teaching Orthopedics and Rheumatology for the Naturopathic Medicine Program at Bastyr University in 2000 and 2001; from those seedling course notes blossomed the books initially published as Integrative Orthopedics (2004, 2007, 2011), Integrative Rheumatology (2006, 2007, 2014 and now published as Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition in 2016) and also Musculoskeletal Pain: Expanded Clinical Strategies, commissioned by the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2008. During all these years, I have publ
"Professors should not teach simply to have their ideas accepted, but rather to have their ideas challenged. In this dynamic, the teacher and students are kept alert and active, both progressing toward greater refinement. For this reason, better professors should always seek the most challenging and difficult students possible." Dr Alex Vasquez Paris France, 2016 VIDEO https://vimeo.com/161526099
