Long COVID and Specialized Treatments
I am deeply committed to treating complex conditions such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), "fibro fog" (cognitive difficulties associated with fibromyalgia), and Long COVID. These disorders are a core focus of my practice and are highlighted in our three-page retreat brochure, which serves as the front-page announcement for our program.
Recently, I had the privilege of hosting Pierre Kory, M.D., a leading expert in Long COVID treatment in the United States, at my home on the Big Island approximately two years ago. Dr. Kory, who lectured in Hilo during his visit, gained national recognition for successfully challenging the FDA on the use of ivermectin. In an interview I sent to your Proton Mail, he discusses low-dose oral ketamine, available from compounding pharmacies, as a promising treatment for ME, CFS, and fibro fog confusion.
Dr. Kory mentioned that his list of 30 Long COVID treatments is available "on Google." We are actively seeking this list to further enhance our offerings and encourage you to explore his insights for a deeper understanding of his approach.
Ketamine Therapy Certification
I am pursuing certification for SPRAVATO (esketamine), a nasal spray form of ketamine approved for specific medical uses. Currently, only one doctor on the Big Island is certified to administer it. Local naturopaths offer intravenous ketamine drips at $400 per hour-long session, but my goal is to provide a more accessible and tailored option through compounding pharmacies, such as the one I work with in Kona.
Educational Resources for Clients
To prepare for their experience at the retreat, we provide clients with photocopied sets of select books. These are sourced from an original set ordered via Amazon and reproduced for educational purposes only—not for sale or advertisement, ensuring compliance with copyright guidelines. We recommend the following titles:
The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker
Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis by James L. Oschman (assumed from "My Energy Medicine")
Healing AIDS Naturally by Laurence Badgley (assumed from "My Healing AIDS Naturally")
The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson (a foundational text on biofeedback)
Health and Light by John Ott (assumed from "Healing Light")
The Human Atmosphere by Walter Kilner Stainton (often titled The Human Aura)
These books offer valuable insights into biofeedback, energy medicine, and holistic healing, enriching the retreat experience.
With decades of experience and a passion for innovative, evidence-informed approaches, I bring a unique blend of science and tradition to our programs. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic conditions or exploring the mysteries of the human aura, our retreat offers a transformative journey toward health and self-discovery.
