Guest Speaker: David Buscher, M.D.
David Buscher, M.D. has been in active practice for over 35 years. His focus is on using innovative, complementary, nutritional and environmental aspects in treating medical conditions.
At our next meeting on April 28th, he will discuss his approach to treating patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and other chronic medical conditions. Topics to include toxicity, allergy, acid-base balance, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxygen therapy and others.
Dr. Buscher is board-certified by the American Board of Environmental Medicine and is a fellow in the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. He is past president of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, where he was a long-term faculty member and program director for the basic instructional courses, which trains physicians in the field of environmental medicine.
Group member Sarah Howell, who has recovered from CFS, says: "Dr. Buscher has been my doctor since 1994, and was an indispensible factor in my recovery from CFS and Fibromyalgia. He always actively, optimistically supported my efforts to get better, coming up with new ideas year after year, rather than trying to talk me into accepting the illness. I'm deeply grateful to him for that, and have tremendous respect for his experience and depth of knowledge. I'll look forward to attending the downtown group on April 28th to hear him speak."
