I grew up in middle-class suburbia the youngest of 3 kids with extraordinarily loving parents. We were of Italian Catholic decent (if you cut me, I bleed olive oil). I started my first business in 7th grade. I bought candy in bulk and sold in in pieces in my French class. It was quite profitable. I miss that business. I started getting my first pay check at age 14. I've been working enthusiastically ever since. When I was in High School I accomplished some impressive things. I was a 5-time NJ State and 2-time AAU National Karate Champion. I also in many respects took the road less traveled. Moto-Cross. Auto-mechanics. I liked taking things apart and fixing them. A pivotal moment for me was senior year when I decided (with the coaches urging) to wrestle. I hurt my neck badly one day in practice. The medical doctor gave me pain-killers, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflammatories. The drugs didn't work and made me a bit ill. My mom brought me to a chiropractor. After the first adjustment, I was 90% better. When he explained to me the principle of chiropractic, the lights came on and my path was set. I decided that day that that was what I was going to do. My parents didn't have the means to send me to private colleges or universities, so I worked full-time and went to a local state college. From there, I went to chiropractic school in Atlanta. I worked full-time there also... and loved every minute of it. Production and value-creation have always been 2 of my personal core values, even before I knew what a core value was. I also worked occasionally as a print model and did some TV commercials. Still have my SAG card to this day. Shortly after graduation, I started a practice. With a partner, I started a seminar business where we trained students and new grads how to pass their state and national boards. It was quite successful. The story is too long, but I also ended up on the Regis Philbin show and did a short stint on a Soap Opera. Then I got hit by a truck while riding my bicycle in New York City. Head injury. Broken leg. I was depressed for a little while. But life is funny like that. The biggest challenges very often turn out to be complete blessings. I was off track when I got hit by the truck. I lost my purpose. When I was laid up, I started to read things that led me to the study of philosophy. I moved out of New York City, started a new practice in my home town in New Jersey and thus started the true first act of my career. Currently, I am in the 3rd Act of my career... and I have more detail about this on this site in the "My Business" section. I went from a practitioner. To a diagnostic technology developer/patent holder to a corporate CEO and operator. And now I am in Act 3 subsequent to the sale of my business, I head my holding company - Action Potential Holdings, Inc. I am married to my soul-mate, Laurie. I have 3 amazing kids. I have brilliant, daring, and extraordinary friends. I travel the world in an adventurous way. I love my life. So, that's my story.
he problem was: Everybody knew about death benefits but very few discerned or appreciated the life benefits of participating whole life insurance. Consequently, when we discovered the life benefits we set about rectifying that problem. And so Life Benefits was born. Up until Life Benefits was founded nobody was talking about the life benefits of participating whole life insurance. Some were talking about being your own bank or how to "bank on yourself" along with some other intimidating stuff, but nobody was talking about the substantial life benefits. Nor were they sharing how you could become better off by taking advantage of those life benefits. And sadly, they weren’t showing you how to create an even greater death benefit by exercising your life benefits rights. In fact, most people were just talking about financing things like cars. And in reality, how many cars are you going to finance in your lifetime, anyway? But now, because of Life Benefits, you have the opportunity to cash in on the all the life benefits of participating whole life insurance. And something even more valuable than that, you have the chance to benefit from The Perpetual Wealth Code™, our unique and exclusive technique that creates additional free cash flow in your life while maximizing your life benefits. So why Life Benefits? Because at Life Benefits we believe you should keep more of the money you make. And that is an enormous advantage for you.
Dr. Paul Wolfson was the life of the party – an incredible storyteller filled with jokes, who also finished first in his class. I still encounter his classmates who marvel at his photographic memory. This doctor – my father – was my most important mentor and ultimate hero. But in his mid-fifties, he suddenly became depressed. Doctors and their pills couldn’t help. Then he started having trouble swallowing, frequent falls, and a loss of facial expression, leaving him a shell of the man he was. The MD’s called in Parkinsonism and eventually PSP. Every doctor seemed to be another pill pusher; one diagnosis after the other, with no one interested in understanding exactly what was going on. My dad died in 2007 after only meeting my son Noah once. Hardened and saddened by his condition and the obliviousness of the docs, I felt hopeless. After all, I was a doctor, too. I kept thinking, “Why couldn’t I help my father in the way I desperately wanted to? Would I suffer the same fate?” The answers came through a chance meeting at a local farmer’s market… It was there that I met my future wife, Heather, a chiropractor who insisted that most doctors were just attempting to cover up problems, not healing anyone. This epiphany of cause – what it meant to be a doctor boldly searching for the root of a patient’s problem (most often poor nutrition and exposure to chemicals) was where our focus should lie, and that science actually defended this idea.

Chiropractors that have a strong desire to see children can struggle with trying to educate parents on the value of this. They may also face challenges getting accepted in their local communities. Drs. Theresa and Stuart Warner are leading experts who will teach you how to position your practice as the leader in your community for helping children in a very professional and credible way. They are pioneers at attracting the child as the first patient in the family to benefit from chiropractic care and developing platforms that catapult the chiropractor as a leader in their town for Children’s health and wellness. Research trends supporting the technical and clinical validation for the practice of chiropractic pediatrics. Pediatric procedures for visits 1, 2, and 3 for the pediatric patient. Communication and promotions to report the effectiveness of chiropractic care for children to the public in a professional and credible way. Pediatric case studies communicating the benefits of chiropractic care for children to third parties. Drs. Stuart and Theresa Warner have revolutionized the chiropractic world by teaching chiropractors to attract the child as the first patient in the family to receive care. The Warners were known as “pediatric chiropractors” before there was such a thing as pediatric chiropractors. They have been teaching and coaching chiropractors around the world for 20 years on pediatric practice procedures, marketing, promotions and leading special events to propel them to become leaders in their communities. In 1995, the pair founded the celebrity and government endorsed Kids Day America/International™, the biggest day ever for chiropractors helping children. Every year chiropractors join the over 2,000 chiropractors that screened over 5 million children for subluxation which resulted in hundreds of thousands of children starting chiropractic care in those offices. www.chiropracticparenting.com
ChiroTouch development began in 1999. Ron McNeill, in collaboration with key Chiropractic practices in San Diego created the ChiroTouch total practice management system. As the passing request went out for a “simpler way,” Ron sketched out a couple of easy-to-use features that evolved into an extensively complex yet intuitive system that delivers powerful solutions for making the practice experience easier, quicker, and more efficient. Ron joined forces with the highly tenured and experienced chiropractor, Michael Failla, in 2004. Ron’s Paperless Medical Solutions and Dr. Failla’s Failla Practice Innovations merged to form Integrated Practice Solutions, Inc (IPS) with the purpose of bringing together a powerful team of experienced in-house programmers, trainers, and client support managers. In 2014 it became apparent that ChiroTouch needed a partner to support our rapid growth, help improve aging infrastructure, and invest more into our chiropractic solutions. With the help of K1 Capital ChiroTouch was able to push forward. 2015 was a year of major transition as we upgraded support systems, increased support staffing, and merged with Future Health Software Inc. and EON Software Solutions. We focused on delivering upon our promises and are now poised to help our clients navigate the challenges chiropractic faces

In 1995, as an academic physician working in a London teaching hospital, he was contacted by the parent of an autistic child with stomach issues. He soon learned from several other parents with autistic behaviors, that their children’s regressive behavior immediately followed an MMR vaccine. He started investigating a possible role between gastrointestinal issues, the MMR vaccine, and neurological injury in children. In pursuit of this possible link, Dr. Wakefield participated in a study of twelve children with both stomach and developmental issues. The ensuing report, written with twelve other authors would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of Medicine.

As a long time “health nut,” author and public speaker, Erin Elizabeth has had a passion for the healing arts for nearly 25 years. She started out in her teens working for a green non profit during her four years of undergrad. Later she trained with Bikram (of Bikram Yoga) while living in Los Angeles, but gave up the hot classes for Pilates which she’s been doing now for 20 years. Originally from Chicago, Erin now spends most of the year in Florida . She enjoys exploring the latest raw restaurants, hiking, reading, animal rescue, edible landscape (growing your groceries!) green living (all solar) driving an electric car for 10 years and investigative journalism. She also is learning Spanish and surfing (but not at the same time).
I was born and raised in the inner city of Chicago, IL. I had a normal childhood, and it was in my school years that I truly took an interest in health and wellness. In my early twenties, I worked as a pharm tech at a physician’s office. I worked at the Illinois Eye Bank to harvest donated eyes to be used for cornea transplant. I also worked at the Kidney Bank. I first began seeing patients at my private wellness clinic in Schaumburg, IL, in 1985. I was a sole practitioner. It was filled with routine checkups, school physical exams, and seeing chronically ill patients. I was prescribing drugs, but realized that they were not working. I began exploring the world of natural medicine in the early 1990s. After seeing drastic improvements when my patients modified their diet and became more physically active, I changed the way I practiced medicine. My passion is to transform the traditional medical paradigm in the United States, and that consumes most of my free time. For 40 years since 1968, I was an active runner; I completed the Chicago Marathon in just over three hours, among other accomplishments. I have also been a computer hobbyist since 1985, with an interest in the Internet that dates back to the early ‘90s. The existing medical establishment is responsible for killing and permanently injuring millions of Americans, but the surging numbers of visitors to Mercola.com since I began the site in 1997 - we are now routinely among the top 10 health sites on the Internet - convinces me that you, too, are fed up with their deception. You want practical health solutions without the hype, and that's what I offer.

I grew up in middle-class suburbia the youngest of 3 kids with extraordinarily loving parents. We were of Italian Catholic decent (if you cut me, I bleed olive oil). I started my first business in 7th grade. I bought candy in bulk and sold in in pieces in my French class. It was quite profitable. I miss that business. I started getting my first pay check at age 14. I've been working enthusiastically ever since.

Brainwashed! That was how I spent the first 35 years of my life. Words like organic and natural were not in my vocabulary, certainly not relating to health. Nutrition was scarcely mentioned, vitamins were quackery, and drugs and surgery were healing. I actually believed (as many docs do) that statin drugs should be in the water supply. But as you will read below, I transformed from a doctor who follows mindless, cookbook medicine to one who will be amongst the leaders of the health revolution in this country. I was born in Cleveland where my father was the first osteopathic resident at the Cleveland Clinic. My family moved to Chicago and lived there until age 31. I attended the University of Illinois for my undergraduate degree and then, following in my father’s footsteps, spent four years at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine for my D.O. degree. A three year internal medicine residency then a three year cardiology fellowship followed at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois while serving as Chief Fellow in my final year. I am board certified in cardiology and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC). In 2002, I moved to Arizona and joined a large cardiology group. My first few years, I practiced like any other cardiologist, consulting with office patients and making hospital rounds. Procedures such as heart catheterization, implanting pacemakers, and interpreting echocardiograms and nuclear stress tests was my daily routine. I served as the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Paradise Valley Hospital and also as the Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation. In four years, I achieved partner status with the large cardiology group and was a very successful conventional cardiologist. As time passed, I was growing frustrated that despite all the pharmaceuticals and procedures, many patients were feeling worse. Patients were discharged from the hospital only to return to the ER shortly because doctors are not healing anyone. The realization hit me that medical doctors were not preventing disease but only attempting to treat symptoms. In 2004, I met the most amazing woman who would soon become my wife. Heather is a chiropractor and has a heavy focus on nutrition and healthy, chemical free living. Since meeting her, I have changed my whole life and medical practice style. I have switched from the sickness paradigm to one of health and wellness. I read countless books, studied hundreds of articles, and attended as many conferences as possible. I met with natural doctors including chiropractors, homeopaths,naturopaths and different types of healers (at which most medical docs would scoff). I immersed myself in the natural lifestyle. Most importantly, I opened my mind from the brainwashing of medical training. My explicit goal in treating patients is finding the cause of disease instead of using the band-aid approach. The CAUSE is the CURE. In 2012, I decided to leave the large cardiology group and open Wolfson Integrative Cardiology. Heather and I have two beautiful, healthy boys, Noah and Brody, and our rescue Lab mix, Sal. Our sons were born at home with a midwife. Neither have ever taken a pharmaceutical, prescribed or OTC. We practice attachment parenting, eat organic food, and instill a natural lifestyle into our children. We enjoy all the outdoor activities available in Phoenix. Heather and I together are The Drs. Wolfson and our motto is “Awakening the World to Wellness”.

Dr. O’Shea graduated from Life Chiropractic College, has practiced in Europe and traveled throughout the world studying holistic health practices. In his own words, “The healthiest people in human history were groups who were geographically isolated from “civilization.” These people had no specialists, no HMOs, no prescription drugs, and no immense hospitals. They were never subverted with the idea that the responsibility for their own health lay outside themselves. Except in the cases of traumatic injury, for most of their lives they looked to the body’s inner wisdom, and trusted only that. And it worked – they had beautiful teeth, strong bones, and very little degenerative disease.”
