AAPI’S NUTRITION GUIDE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH: USING PRINCIPLES OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AND NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS<br />
One can often use high dose vitamin C<br />
intravenously as part of the overall regimen. This<br />
can be combined with vitamin K3 (which has<br />
been shown to potentiate (make stronger) the<br />
cancer killing effects of vitamin C). The National<br />
Institutes of Health is currently studying high dose<br />
vitamin C <strong>and</strong> has shown it will kill most cancer<br />
cells when given in high enough concentrations<br />
(these concentrations can be achieved only with<br />
intravenous vitamin C).<br />
There are many other potential treatments<br />
available, some of them very innovative. All<br />
treatments are individualized to each patient with<br />
the goal of maximizing benefit. As new research<br />
emerges, it is good to constantly update protocols<br />
to offer the most effective treatments.<br />
Richard Linchitz has dedicated his life to medical<br />
health <strong>and</strong> patient care. After graduating with<br />
honors from Cornell University Medical College, he<br />
completed his residency at the famed University of<br />
California, San Francisco, Moffit Hospital.<br />
Moved by the personal stories of those living with<br />
chronic pain, Dr. Linchitz founded the first <strong>and</strong><br />
only outpatient nationally accredited multi-specialty<br />
pain program in New York. Over the 22 years he<br />
managed the Pain Alleviation Center, he developed<br />
an integrated program of pain intervention based<br />
on lifestyle changes, rather than pharmaceuticalbased<br />
solutions. Dr. Linchitz has always lived by<br />
his own advice. An accomplished athlete, he lived<br />
what he thought was a healthy lifestyle until a<br />
diagnosis of lung cancer in 1998 (despite never<br />
having smoked) forever changed his life, career<br />
<strong>and</strong> overall perspective on <strong>medicine</strong>. After<br />
receiving a bleak prognosis for survival, he sought<br />
to underst<strong>and</strong> his disease from the inside out <strong>and</strong><br />
to design his own path towards balanced<br />
Wellness. This path also led him to become a<br />
member of the Society for Integrative Oncology.<br />
Determined to share the lessons learned from his<br />
own recovery, Dr. Linchitz became an expert in<br />
integrating conventional <strong>and</strong> alternative approaches<br />
to treat disease. He became a Board Member of<br />
the International College of Integrative Medicine.<br />
139<br />
Consequently, he has created a unique program of<br />
health based on prevention <strong>and</strong> natural remedies.<br />
Dr. Linchitz is board certified by the <strong>American</strong><br />
Board of Psychiatry <strong>and</strong> Neurology, the <strong>American</strong><br />
Board of Pain Medicine, <strong>and</strong> the <strong>American</strong> Board<br />
of Anti-aging Medicine. He has successfully<br />
passed board exams from the <strong>American</strong> Board of<br />
Clinical Metal Toxicology <strong>and</strong> the International<br />
Board of Oxidative Medicine. He is also trained<br />
<strong>and</strong> certified in Medical Acupuncture <strong>and</strong> Insulin<br />
Potentiation Therapy (IPT), an innovative cancer<br />
treatment. He is a member of the Medical<br />
Advisory Board for the Int'l Organization of IPT<br />
Physicians.<br />
Dr. Linchitz’s other memberships include Program<br />
Co-Chair of the Chelation Examination Committee,<br />
Board Member of the <strong>American</strong> College for<br />
