Mark speaks regularly to physician, pharmacist, nursing and community groups, providing insights on how Natural Pharmaceutical Alternatives and Prescription Compounding can enhance patient care and Quality of Life.

Mark believes, when possible, in approaching patient care from a “ground up” point of view; that traditional medicine alone tends to treat chronic illness with a band-aid approach rather than going after the real culprit, the source of the problem.

Mark believes that many chronic health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, intestinal and gastric problems can be ameliorated and potentially eliminated by complementing allopathic medicine with combinations of natural pharmaceutical alternatives and lifestyle changes that are easy to use, safe and effective.

Mark lives in Schaumburg with Sarah, his wife of over 30 years. They have three daughters, Rachel, Rebecca and Shannon and grandchildren, Clara and Danny
