Qualifications
I hold a degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic and have a BSC in Nursing. I hold chiropractic and nursing licenses in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
I am trained in Chiropractic, Methylation, Genetic Research, Neuro-Endo-Immunology, Functional Medicine, Nutrigenomics, Applied Kinesiology, Cranial Manipulation, and Nutritional Counselling.
Conventional Medicine Experience
I worked as an EMT/Paramedic in Brooklyn, New York, for several years before gaining qualifications as a registered nurse and working for 10 years in Emergency Care and Cardiac Intensive Care.
This has given me a thorough grounding in conventional medicine and recognising and acknowledging underlying conditions that may need conventional testing and treatment.
If I feel a patient’s symptoms need medical intervention I will always say so and refer them to the appropriate specialist. In some instances I may not accept a case until I am satisfied that your symptoms requiring medical intervention have been thoroughly investigated. I will liaise with your physician if required.
Alternative Medicine Experience
In 1986 I graduated from New York Chiropractic College, moving into alternative medicine, initially as a chiropractor.
I have always been extremely interested in helping those patients for whom conventional medicine doesn’t have the answers. This led me to complete many courses in alternative topics.
I developed the Bio-Individualized Medicine concept along with my colleague Shawn Bean. This advanced methodology correlates your genetics with neurology, endocrinology, immunology, acquired mitochodrial dysfunction, and cell membrane integrity to identify hidden imbalances creating a complex, chronic condition.
Publications and Guidelines
I have published several papers in peer- reviewed scientific journals. I co-authored Leaky Gut, Leaky Cells, Leaky Brain with Elizma Lambert. You can purchase the book on Amazon.
Working Philosophy
I am one of the few health care practitioners specializing in correlating the Genetic SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) with Neuro-Endo-Immunology, Acquired Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cell Wall Integrity to identify hidden imbalances. From these, I develop INDIVIDUALIZED treatment plans specific to the history and physiology of the individual patient. I constantly research the latest findings in genetics and functional medicine.
My passion is to discover and eradicate the root cause and subsequent effects of chronic illnesses in adults and children as well as to educate and empower my patients and practitioners alike.
International
In recent years I have travelled to several countries to see patients, give talks and to train practitioners.
Using the internet I can deliver lectures and talks to any audience anywhere in the world, if necessary using the services of a local interpreter.
If you or your group, society or organisation would like me to deliver a talk or training, please contact office@drjessarmine.com so we can discuss topics, availability and pricing.
