"There is more to pain management than just pain control." True relief from pain is an outcome, not a pill or an injection. It is the result of doing several things right, starting from the moment a person decides to act upon the afflicting problem. However, it is not always easy to know what to do about a painful condition, and multiple barriers, such as joint disorders and painful neuromuscular conditions, can stand in the way of long-term relief and a return to a good quality of life. To make matters worse, some of these barriers are the limited action, or inaction, by affected individuals...frequently associated with lack of information.
Dr. Nuchovich makes a clear case for the notion that most people living in North America are suffering from a state of chronic inflammation brought on by poor nutrition, processed foods, bad eating habits, environmental and other toxins, and genetic predisposition. He claims that most diseases, including many degenerative diseases, like arthritis, IBS, SBS, chronic back and neck pain, and even chronic rashes and outbreaks, are all caused by these factors and can all be cured. Yet, these are all conditions most people consider normal for people who are aging. As people get older, we have come to expect them to have an ever-growing list of infirmities.
Western medicine typically does not cure these infirmities because it often does not look at root causes and only treats symptoms. Nuchovich explains that most people don't realize they are literally throwing acid on their internal organs, joints, muscles, and nervous system every day. And it's this repetitive daily assault on our own bodies that leads to disease in the first place. Nuchovich claims that if people would avoid processed foods and most fast-foods, eat a more "Mediterraneanized" diet rich in omega-3s and omega-9s, use good supplements produced in the USA by certified laboratories, and consider any number of alternative therapies, most diseases can be cured.

Nuchovich, Daniel: - Dr. Daniel Nuchovich, MD was born in Uruguay and graduated as a Physician in Montevideo at the School of Medicine of the University of Uruguay, where fascinated by human anatomy, he received the recommendation of the Dean of Students. This recommendation opened doors to a clinical research program at the Miami Heart Institute, Miami Beach, FL, which Nuchovich joined in 1982. During that time Nuchovich got involved in other programs involving teaching and academics, and all the background he developed catapulted him towards higher degrees. Next, he was accepted and graduated in Internal Medicine at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield, Illinois, in 1989, after which he returned to Florida. Very appreciative for opportunities received here in the USA, Nuchovich wanted to give back, so he joined the Palm Beach County Public Health Dep., West Palm Beach, FL, serving and helping the poor and indigents for about 3-1/2 years. Thirsting for more action, he became a certified trauma doctor at the University of Miami and worked as an Emergency Room Physician in various southern Florida hospitals. "There, in those hospitals, amid sometimes horrible carnage, I also got to meet lots of people with arthritis, chronic pain and injuries, and I realized how these chronic conditions are often not effectively treated by the conventional medical community." Then Nuchovich took the intense and complicated course of "Integrating Complementary Therapies into Clinical Practice" at Harvard Medical School. "It took me over six months of intense studies to be ready." Then, he opened Jupiter Institute of the Healing Arts, where he grouped together a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, a physical therapist, an orthopedic, a nutritionist, an exercise therapist and a nurse practitioner proficient in alternative medicine to work together in harmony and coordination. He wrote about his initial successes in his first book, The Palm Beach Pain Relief System, 2013, to later advance his studies and write a much more comprehensive manuscript that we now publish: Advanced Alternative Medicine for Arthritis, Chronic Pain and Injuries, We hope that it will reach the over-100 million people who struggle with those conditions.
