Meet Dr.Steve Vasilev
Hi, I’m “Dr.Steve”,
I’m the editor-in-chief on this personally owned site. In other words, no one sponsors this site. So, I am beholden to no one and report only the unbiased truth about natural, alternative and integrative remedies and cures as far as I can determine it, through trained eyes, from published world-wide mainstream and alternative medical research. If I think some information or a product can help you, I will say so and why. If it is somehow related to an advertised product I will tell you that too. You will also find links to some of my own information products on this site, some free and some for reasonable cost, to help support this and other sites that I offer.
My background
I’m a double board certified specialist physician, involved in teaching, research, and writing on advances in health care in both mainstream and natural areas. I’ve been online for about 10 years, so you may have seen me on About.com as their 2008 Ovarian Cancer Guide, or as an Expert status author on EzineArticles.com, or on Google Knol…..and on and on. Actually, you can pretty much find me all over the internet getting the word out on both natural and mainstream remedies and research in a balanced integrative way, including women’s health, cancer care and more.
I have a medical degree from the Keck School at the University of Southern California, where I was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society. I completed my residency and fellowship training at the USC-Los Angeles County Women’s Hospital and the USC Kenneth Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. So, I am board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Gynecologic Oncology, which is a sub-specialty in women’s cancer care.
Over the last 20 years I have taken care of patients just like you in all possible settings. I have taught and been a faculty member at three major universities and cancer centers, including the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte. I am currently clinical Professor at USC and UCLA, and affiliated with UCIrvine in research.
I’ve been listed in Best Doctors and Top Physicians for quite a few years running, but that is not the most important part. At the end of the day, the most important part is that I have taken care of patients just like you for many many years and have a lot of solutions that are either on this website, or will be soon. So, while all these credentials hopefully prove that I am who I say I am, you will see that what I have to offer are personal solutions for many problems…..solutions that actually work. Or, if there is no good solution, you will find out why and where to look for at least some help. Even more importantly, I have made a lot of important observations about what CAUSES conditions like cancer and heart disease over the years. In the end, prevention wins out!
Why Am I Online?
On a personal note, my interest in health care, and cancer care in particular, started some 27 years ago when my dad died of cancer. I watched a very painful but thankfully brief battle which really did not include what I consider to be a holistic approach to give the best chance for not only beating cancer but also maintaining quality of life. All of my training has at its core the credo of helping patients achieve a shot at cures, while at the same time trying to provide tools for maintaining their spirit and soul.
World Society Anti-Aging Medicine Delegate
My training background is not all mainstream medicine, called allopathy. I also attended chiropractic school, which I left after I realized that my full scope of practice to help cancer patients would be limited. At that point I had already been involved in cancer research. Anyway, chiropractic school kept my mind open to alternative and complementary care options. Also… and this is important…. I spent years of extra time taking advanced University level courses in nutrition and biochemistry. All of this diverse background and training helps me help you separate truth from fiction and realistic integrative hope from quackery.
As my team and I continually build this site, I know you’ll find the information you need to stay informed and choose the right path for your cure. Remember, the truth is out there. Seek it, seize it when you see it and choose wisely. You’ll find all the tools you need right here.
A very BRIEF word about “politics” and conspiracies……
My team and I are just here to help you seek out the truth in prevention and treatment. We’re concerned with practical help. Other than the occasional rant that I’ll permit myself on this topic, we’ll leave other sites to duke out the politics of medicine and whose grandmother the FDA arrested or beat up today. OK? ‘Nuff said on that.
Here you will find balance and objective documented TRUTH. So all statements, to the best of our knowledge, are backed up by some kind of factual evidence and not fiction or conjecture or opinion. Although we welcome comments everywhere, we don’t rely on cheesy testimonials since we all know they can be faked and misleading. If the facts are not there, but there seems to be some plausible basis for use of this or that, we’ll tell you. Most importantly, if something can harm you we will most certainly bring that up as well.
Friendly WARNING!
Remember, in the end, it’s your body….your choice! But PLEASE, stay informed and when it comes to your health, keep your eyes and mind open and sharp. There are plenty of unscrupulous dirt-bags on this planet that are tickled pink to take all willing suckers to the cleaners. There are also plenty of well-intentioned but woefully under-informed folks that can mislead you.
If you have a health problem, or are trying to prevent one, you simply cannot wading though fact vs. fiction by trial and error. We will do our best to help you avoid it by providing as much information as we can about what works, what doesn’t, and on what basis we say that.
As always, I invite constructive commentary, and/or help us get the word out through our open comments areas and social media. Please feel free to Tweet and otherwise mention anything you see on this site.
Warmly,
Dr. Steve
