When you are in severe pain what are your safest options?
How do you not become worse down the road from short-term fixes?
Consider regenerative medicine.
A few months ago, I was supposed to fly from Austin, Texas to Houston to give an 8-hour continuing medical education, all-day class, for physicians.
But a few days before all this, I woke up with my right leg so, in pain, I could not walk let alone stand!
I called Dr. David Harris, a Board-Certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Board-Certified Pain Medicine specialist, who specializes in safe regenerative procedures.
Usually, Dr. Harris is booked for up to 9 months, but there was an atypical cancellation.
Most patients would get a steroid epidural. But as we age, we get more complicated. As I have shared before, I have an eye condition that cannot handle steroids.
Thus, Dr. Harris, a pain “whisperer” (but all based in science), created a safer alternative epidural made of ozone, B12, sterile homeopathic Traumel, with a dash of steroid.
I was then able to fly, stand and lecture all day, and go on to live my regular life without pain or disability.
It all happened at Dr. Harris’s clinic called “Charm”: The Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine. They provide “non-surgical” answers for pain that help joints heal without making them worse in the long run, as repetitive steroid treatments have now been shown to do. (If you watch this interview on YouTube, that’s the table where it happened.)
Dr. David K. Harris is a physiatrist in Austin, Texas. Physiatrists are physicians who specialize in helping patients with disabilities. Without surgery. Their focus is rehabilitation, restoration of function, and a return to a high quality of life.
The clinic offers prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell injections. Dr. Harris’s wife is a physical therapist, so this is one-stop shopping. Their PA, Michelle Hall is a superb practitioner, too.
I witnessed first-hand how helpful this medicine can be. Ten years ago I referred a 60-year-old man with half his rotator cuff missing, who had not been able to move his arm for 6 months. All other doctors insisted that his only option was to have surgery. Shoulder surgery is not for the faint of heart. With very long recovery times.
Dr. Harris, avoiding surgery, performed his special medical regenerative injections. Within three months, that man’s shoulder was as good as new and continues to be up to today. All without painful, expensive surgery or drugs.
There are only about 187 doctors nationally who do what Dr. Harris has learned to do, and many of these doctors have been trained by Dr. Harris.
Got pain? Consider regenerative medicine and the Charm clinic in Austin, Texas.

Dr. Pamela Smith is one of the most well-known lecturers in functional medicine. She started out as a family practice and ER doctor but has moved into the arena of functional medicine, hormones and protocols to heal.
Dr. Pamela Smith is the founder of The Fellowship in Anti-Aging. She created the modules for this 5-year board certification program where doctors learn how to become “functional practitioners” – all based on science.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Berkson lecture frequently together at these modules and at other conferences. For example, Dr. Smith and Dr. Berkson gave a two-day conference for pharmacists in Salt Lake City two years ago.
Dr. Smith is also a prolific author. She has her new book out called Max Immunity. This show is all about how to keep healthy especially in a pandemic.
In this show you will learn:
There are lots of clinical pearls in here. You do NOT want to miss this show.

Jim Hrncir, owner of Las Colinas Pharmacy, Compounding & Wellness in Irving, Texas, has received plenty of accolades during his nearly 40-year pharmacy career. Jim was named PCCA Compounding Pharmacist of the Year in 2017. PCCA is the company that makes many of the bases and formulas that compounding pharmacists use. PCCA also trains compounding pharmacists and MDs in yearly functional medicine courses (where Dr. Berkson often lectures).
Jim is the ‘go-to guru’ teaching and giving advice to physicians for many compounded prescriptions.
Recently, Jim was invited to testify in front of the National Academy of Health Sciences, who were given a task by the FDA to review the legality and compoundabilty of bioidentical hormones.
In this show, you will learn what is going on with our rights to keep getting bioidentical hormones.
Jim discusses doses, bases, controversies and more.
In this show you will learn what are bioidentical hormones and how they make can make a huge difference in your life. They are the most powerful tool that we have to slow aging down. They are safe, effective and protect your brain against the big “C” cognitive decline.
In this show you will learn of the studies showing that hormone replacement reduces the risk of cognitive decline by 50 to almost 80%, with the natural molecules (the bioidentical hormones vs. the patented synthetic ones) having even more protection. This was shown by a large insurance study on 400,000 patients tracking their cognition and their hormonal therapies history.
This show is a powerhouse of amazing information.
You can ask your compounding pharmacist to ask Jim about his creative and effective protocols.
You can reach listen to some of his talks at his pharmacy’s web site:
