The turning point in my career didn’t happen in a clinic. It happened in a classroom.
By 1995, the demands of running Los Angeles’ first comprehensive integrative health clinic had begun to overshadow the work I loved most: helping patients heal. I took a sabbatical to return to the study and practice of homeopathy on a deeper level. It was there that I heard Dr. Trevor Cook, homeopath to the Queen Mother, speak about biotherapies. In that moment, I knew I had discovered something that would change the way I practiced medicine.
There were three biotherapies. One made from young plant parts. One from mineral-rich rocks. One from healthy organ tissue. Each had been used successfully for generations.
Yet, after more than two centuries of homeopathy, no one had ever combined all three in a single formula. No one had even asked what might happen if they were combined together.
I went back to my graduated cylinders and Erlenmeyer flasks. I started blending fig tree buds with silver birch seeds, then adding lepidolite, and finally hypothalamus extract, bringing together all three biotherapies in a single formula.
Then I gave them to patients whose chronic conditions had stopped responding to everything else.
They responded.
The experiment had become a new way of practicing medicine.
That was the beginning of the bioformulas.
