4. “The mind, once
expanded to the
dimensions of larger
ideas, never returns
to its original size.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
5. Ethics and financial/logistical
practicalities of these lectures
• Nothing is more important than taking care of the
patient.
• “The needs of the patient come first.” (Dr. Will
Mayo, MD)
• The current “medical model” is at variance with
what is ethical, moral, and factual.
• If the physician is not stable and financially secure,
the system implodes.
– “No margin, no mission.” - Steven R. Covey
• If the system implodes, the patient suffers.
6. Background
• Listen for IDEAS
• MINDSET is important.
• WHY to make the change is more difficult
than HOW to make the change. (Strategy
vs. tactics).
• Listen for personal relevance – if it’s
important to you, it’s important to your
patients.
• Relax for use of COLOR.
• Relax for data – you’re getting access.
9. Tech Rules…. Please turn
your phones ON (just
silenced).
• Shoot photos!
• Tweet! ( @LouisCadyMD )
10. “But my patients don’t know about
this and aren’t asking for it….”
“It’s not the
consumers’
job to know
what they
want.”
- Steve Jobs

14. Outline
• Overview of concepts
• My bias – a practice model
• Current state of allopathic medicine
• Microchip as disruptor and disintermediator
– (“Change or die”)
• Current state of patients and society
• What’s your model? Chloraseptic or PCN?
• How to start changing….
15. The evolution of my practice
• Sidetracked in high school, two degrees in music (’77 and
’79) and learned piano tuning
• 1976 – 1989 – piano tuning (through pre-med and med
school). “fee for service”(Med School finished 1989)
• 1989-1993 – conventional allopathic psychiatry residency
at Mayo Clinic
• 1993 – start practice. 1995 – l-tyrosine and EFA’s
• 2002 – first IFM conference
• 2003 – Cenegenics training
• 2005 – founded Cady Wellness Institute
• 2010 – 2011 – Neil Rouzier, MD & WorldLink
• 2012 – rTMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
21. Cady Wellness Institute – July 2005
The Reasons:
• Conventional medical practice had failed me twice.
• A lot of “psychiatric cases” WEREN’T “psychiatric.”
• Nobody was integrated.
• Nobody was looking at ALL of the peer-reviewed
literature.
22.
23. Current socioeconomic state and
allopathic (“conventional”) medicine –
DISRUPTIVE NOTIONS
• CONVENTIONAL Allopathic medicine = symptom
focused, reactive, “taught,” unthinking, uncreative,
PRACTICALLY non-informed by peer-reviewed
medical literature.
– Commoditized. No variability. “Providers.”
• Wellness medicine: individualized. Can’t get it
elsewhere. Not a commodity. Scientific. Informed
by peer-reviewed literature.
– Concept of “information brokering” (example:
THYROID)
24. Healthcare “Reform” Today
•Today: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) – includes amendments from
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872)

uncertain about the future, they’re generally happy with their
career choices and the state of their lives (???), despite
practicing during one of the greatest periods of tumult in the
modern history of US healthcare.”

58. Some interesting thoughts:
• “The war situation has developed not
necessarily to Japan’s advantage..” - Japanese
Emperor Hirohito after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
announcing Japan’s surrender to the Allies
• “A naïve analysis of stability is derived from the
absence of past variations” (or “The Turkey
Problem”)

70. Factors trapping physicians
• “Doing it, doing it, doing it.” (Michael Gerber, The
E-Myth)
• Already time-pressured –
– Minimal time to think or plan
– PROBABLY ADRENALLY DEPLETED ALREADY,
perhaps with suboptimal thyroid and sex hormones
– Tip – GET YOUR LABS CHECKED!!
• Must “make overhead.”
• Can’t “take chances.”
• Trapped by “provider panel” arrangements,
including cut rate fees. (Alcoa story)

77. MAKING THE TRANSITION
• Must DECIDE
– Must have INFO (e.g., this weekend)
– Must INTROSPECT
• Must have something LEGITIMATE to offer
• Start SMALL – both with interventions and
logistics/financial
– E.g, ¼ grain Armour, or Cytomel 5 MICROgrams, or Cortef 5 mg
twice daily, or FDA approved testosterone for guys
– E.g. – ½ day per week – “hormones”
• Get EDUCATION
– Teachers – Rouzier, World Link Medical
– AAMG, A4M
• Find a mentor (s) – start here
78.
79. Marketing & Practice Development
• Maintain excellence in allopathy or (traditional
osteopathy)
– (knowledge base, prescribing, surgery)
– (“Be able to debate the great issues.” – Jim Rohn)
• Know your [new] stuff!
• Do not badmouth the competition. (Chris Lord
example).
• Give CME talks and paper over their objecting
mouths with references. (examples follow next)
• Spiritual and ethical clarity.

chemical reactions.
• A reasonable theory is oxidative stress.
• Few studies have actually been done on this.
• Glutathione deficiency is known in mitochondrial
disease.
• Biosynthesis of glutathione depends on cysteine
availability.
• “Our findings reinforce the notions that in
mitochondrial disease, oxidative stress is
important and can be reduced by
administration of a cysteine donor.”

91. My position on supplements
• “The needs of the patient come first.” – W
Mayo
• Unique and patented. (Otherwise GNC is
fine).
• Guaranteed (risk reversal).
• Measurable changes
• Be a doctor and not a stock boy or inventory
clerk.
93. Building CWI - what has worked
• Being nice to patients
– (on time, polite, compliment on questions, don’t be a
jerk or abrasive, put yourself into their shoes, etc.)
• Be good and get results. BE THE BEST!
• Be TRANSPARENT – give’em their labs.
– Write on them. Draw pictures. Take time (and BILL
FOR IT).
– Cenegenics model
• Be appropriately self-protective of your time and
talents. “If they show up, bill’em.” – Dan
Kennedy.
95. MARKETING – what has and hasn’t
worked
Worked Hasn’t worked
• Word of mouth • Paid advertising (TV,
• Public seminars print, magazines)
• Web site
• Going to MD’s/DO’s • What I HAVEN’T tried:
– Marketing consultants
offices PERSONALLY
– Radio ads
• Free stuff – PR
opportunities New initiatives:
• Going to places and •Proprietary, paid websites
NETWORKING •“SEO” – search engine
optimization (Willie Sutton
principle)

101. Success and Failure (Jim Rohn)
What about you? You’ve only got one body.
• “Errors in judgement” - High glycemic eating,
no exercise, poor nutrition, lousy/no
supplementation, high stress practice.
- “Good disciplines” – appropriate diet,
supplementation, exercise, hormones. Stress
management. Decent practice and lifestyle.
102. Perhaps the ability not only to acquire
the confidence of the patient, but to
deserve it, to see what the patient
desires and needs, comes through the
sixth sense we call intuition, which in
turn comes from wide experience and
deep sympathy for and devotion to
the patient, giving to the possessor
remarkable ability to achieve results.
...William J. Mayo, 1935
