Testimonials

Dr. Tom Messinger, ND, RN

"The EMEI Clinical Training in Environmental Medicine is the best online course I have ever taken. I specialize in treating patients with Lyme disease and Mold Illness. In working with this patient population, I had learned to appreciate that a patient's illness and the severity of their illness depended largely on their total toxic burden, with their pathogen load only being one part of the picture. 

The EMEI course has taught me how to screen patients for toxin/toxicant exposure from all angles and how to depurate this immunotoxic burden to help patients recover their health. Because of the unfortunate amount of exposures that all of us experience, I feel that moving forward it will be essential for all integrative providers to know how to screen and treat patients for these exposures. I am quite certain this is the future of medicine. 
 
The course material is quite robust and comprehensive. The level of support from the 2 teachers, Dr Fine and Dr. Patrick is unparalleled in other courses. There is a weekly zoom meeting where students can ask questions and go over cases. Monthly, there is a Grand Rounds that includes additional  special course material presented, guest speakers that are leaders in the field of integrative and environmental medicine, and case presentations. The meetings are intimate and one is free to ask questions whenever they arise. One also has access to all the monthly Grand Rounds that have happened since the outset of the course. In addition, there is also a monthly podcast with Dr. Fine or Dr. Patrick which takes a deep dive into the research on a particular topic, with a power point included.
 
I highly recommend the course to anyone practicing integrative/functional medicine as this information is essential to help our patients get well."


Dr. Elizabeth H. Sims-Day, Naturopathic Physician

” As Spirit Med alumni, I am beyond thrilled to be presented with the extraordinary opportunity to engage, continue to learn and evolve along with the rest of our highly dedicated community of EM professionals who understand the fundamental importance of the work ahead in our mission critical commitment to carry the torch forward beyond the place where our dearly beloved Dr. Walter Crinnion so deeply and profoundly touched and impressed our individual and collective lives. His generous soul and brilliant mind live on through our steadfast dedication to his legacy of ongoing world class education and training of healthcare professionals in the field of Environmental Medicine.”

Felice L. Gersh, MD

“I have known both Dr Patrick and Dr Fine for many years and their knowledge of the impact of environmental pollution and of the health effects of the ubiquitous toxins and toxicants we are all exposed to … is vast. Although I have personally studied environmental medicine for several years, whenever I hear one of their lectures I am always amazed at the new knowledge I obtain. Anyone desirous of acquiring a broad knowledge of environmental medicine, including practical approaches to assist patients to optimize their health, is guaranteed to be pleased with their new educational program..”
