Though he trained as a medical doctor and surgeon, Dr. Harvey Bigelsen grew frustrated by his inability to help patients through the traditional methods of Western medicine. He has been able to trace the roots of many patients’ health issues to post-surgical, chronic inflammation. Eschewing conventional wisdom, he says that germs are not harmful, and that doctors must address the terrain and not the germ. Dr. Bigelsen’s work is based in biological medicine, and involves a revolutionary approach that evaluates every patient as an individual, and develops a rational therapeutic plan based on his/her past medical and surgical history. He believes that if the patient is not getting better, it is the practitioner’s fault, because “miracles only happen when you know what you are doing.” This philosophy has been the foundation of Dr. Bigelsen’s work and drives him to find the real cause of each patient’s unique problems.
