Dr. Paul Yanick is the president and founder of the American Academy of Quantum Medicine, "a professional, accredited research and educational non-profit organization dedicated primarily to training clinicians"[1], and the "Private Health Care Membership Association" QuantaFoods Association[2], providing "quorum nutrition" through the use of herbal supplements, RegenaFood and/or RejuvaFood-N3[3], DetoxaBath, and ExcelaWater[4][5]. In addition, they promote detoxification since "[a] nutritional deficiency of sulfur is rampant and widely prevalent"[6] leading to an unhealthy cancer-causing accumulation of pollutants and radiation in our cells.
Medical qualifications
According to the "About Our Founder" page on QuantaFoods.com:[7]
Dr. Paul Yanick Jr, PhD, ND, CNC is a Board Certified Diplomat in Integrative Medicine (American Association of Integrative Medicine) ID#1205; a Board-Certified Diplomat in Quantum Medicine (American Naturopathic Medical Certification & Accreditation Board) QM# 1205; a Licensed Naturopath #NAT1000117 in North Carolina #2000000495256. He is also nationally Board-Certified Naturopathic Physician (American Naturopathic Medical Certification & Accreditation Board) #70122, and Board-Certified as a Nutritional Consultant Diplomat (American Association of Nutritional Consultants). He is also a Board-Certified Diplomat in Anti-Aging Medicine (American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine) and earned his professional degrees at City University of NY, New York University, and Seton Hall University.
The American Academy of Quantum Medicine
Dr. Yanick offers webinars through QuantaFoods[8] and the AAQM, as well as a national seminar. They have a page of publications[9], all but one having broken links due to a web server change[10], the single one (Diabetes and the Afferent Vagus – Townsend letter for Doctors and Patients, May 2009[11]) being a festival of bad grammar[12] and possible pseudoscience[13]. The organization also issues Board Certifications for Quantum Medicine™ Practitioner and Quorum Nutritional Consultant™. Presumably, once you obtain proper certification from the AAQM, you can practice "Quantum Medicine", whatever the hell that is.
Candida overgrowth
The Quantafoods supplements are evidently useful in fighting the national scourge of Candida overgrowth :
Take QuantaBiotica. Anti-infectives and anti-candida agents commonly prescribed cannot effectively get inside the biofilm. This leaves the microorganisms free to mutate and become immune to them. QuantaBiotica, however, uses your immune system to break down the candida biofilm slowly. You cannot take QuantaBiotica without the supervision of a doctor who is board certified in quantum medicine by Dr. Paul Yanick (the founder and president of the American Association of Quantum Medicine).[14]
Frickin' lasers
The AAQM also provides treatment by the LBG™ Light Beam Generator[15][16],
claimed to "restore proper functioning of the body's immune system" by "removing toxic materials that may be blocking the lymphatic system." The company claims that the device can prevent arthritis, breast cancer, build-up of calcified joints, carpal tunnel syndrome, cellulite, chronic injuries, clogged arteries, colitis, dental diseases and inflammation, edema, fibromyalgia, headaches, leg and back pain, lupus, mastodynia (pain in the breast), prostate cancer/enlargement, scars, sciatica, and varicose veins. The device is said to combine "gaseous tube technology" with "sound efficiency and light photon therapy" based on the work of Royal Raymond Rife.[17]
