BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dr. Gregory Derderian

Founder & Medical Director

Double Board Certified in General Surgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery. During his years in practice, he has developed and implemented innovative therapeutic advances in both fields of surgery. He developed and interest in Alternative Medicine in 2010, having both his wife and son being treated for “Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”. In 2016 they were both diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and the journey began. Over the next 4 years he immersed himself in understanding the pathophysiology and treatment modalities utilized in Chronic Lyme Disease. Having studied and operated in hyperbaric environments during his residency he also explored profound hyperthermia, an array of current antibiotic regimens, oral and IV nutritional therapy, light-based therapies and other peripheral modalities. In 2020 while treating his wife with a cosmetic device she insisted it caused her to have a severe Herxheimer reaction. Although there was no scientific evidence to support her belief, ultimately, as usual, she was right. Over the next year we trialed it with several patients successfully. In 2022 he prospectively treated 10 patients, with Chronic Lyme Disease (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome) over 4 months. This cohort of patients all had significant debility and had failed available therapies including prolonged antibiotics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nutraceuticals, as well as other interventions. All patients responded to electromagnetic therapy with significant improvement and in several cases complete remission. None of the patients had as much success with any of their previous treatments. And now the journey continues.
