system that is in charge of all mind/body processes. These therapies include Neuromodulation
Technique-The Feinberg Method, probably the best healing system to date that addresses the
problems in self-regulation that lead to any dysfunction or disease, and PSYCH-K, which
addresses the erroneous beliefs about yourself that are getting in the way of where you want to
be in life. Dr. Coker is certified as a HealthExcel Metabolic Typing Advisor and can help you
find the foods most beneficial for your unique body. She also conducts computerized
assessments using a SpectraScan device to determine environmental stressors and then creates
custom homeopathic remedies to help your body deal with this stress.

functional nutrition, endocrinology, homeopathy, and bioenergetic work. Her specialty is chronic
pain and inflammatory conditions, digestive, hormonal and respiratory disorders.”

Matthew Scott Doughty MD
“Dr. Scott Doughty is the start-up inspiration of UP Holistic Medicine. He attended

specialist, Dr. Doughty first moved to Marquette in 1992 for training at the MGH/MSU affiliated
Residency. Since then, he has spent 12 of his 22 years as an MD in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula,
most recently teaching, as a faculty member at the residency where he first trained here in
Marquette. For ten years, he was fortunate to work with the Indian Health Service in Zuni, New
Mexico. There, his patients were largely Zuni and Navajo, and for most of that time, he directed
the hospital’s Diabetes Program.
For his entire career, Dr. Doughty has prioritized
connecting with his patients, and over the past 5 years,
expanding his interest and skills in integrative and functional
medicine. In that time, he has found more joy, excitement, and
success in caring for patients than at any other time is his career.
His wife, Amy, a certified nurse-midwife, is currently working
full-time as homeschool teacher with their daughters, Brooke,
Maren, and Raina. Amy is studying herbal medicine for
women’s health with Dr. Aviva Jill Romm, and will join the UPHM staff in the near future.”

William S Eidelman MD
Dr, Eidelman has been in the natural healing field for over thirty years. His main types of
treatment are herbs, nutrition, bioelectromagnetism, and meditation. He tells of his personal
background with alternative medicine as follows:
“My medical education began when I was a child. My late great father was a
professor of psychiatry at St. Louis University School of Medicine. He was the only non-
Freudian in the department of psychiatry for 25+ years, so I learned early that being
different wasn't bad. I learned from my father that through simple caring, we could help
others through their pain and illness, sometimes. He showed me his understanding that
everyone in medicine has a lot to learn, that no one really knows all (or even most of) the
answers. “
In addition to this early realization, Dr. Eidelman has gone to great lengths to learn about
bio-energy. His favorite devices to use when administering therapy are the Alpha-Stim and QRS.
As mentioned before, nutrition and meditation also play as large role in Dr. Eidelman’s
treatments. He has shared on his early experience with meditation:
“After psychiatric residency, I spent time in India, learning much about human
consciousness, meditation, and the process of awakening. My early medical career, from
1977 through 1990 involved what I now consider "alternative psychiatry," focusing on
awakening of the spirit rather than treatment of mental illness. In the very awakening of
the spirit, many of our mental dis-eases simply evaporate. Others may remain, but even
those exist in a different context when the person is awakening. It was during this time
that I became familiar with hands-on energy healing. I worked extensively both
practicing and teaching a form of hands-on energy healing called Resonance
Balancing.” –quotes from dreidelman.org

Young Ko PhD
Dr. Young Ko has worked in partnership on the metabolic approach to cancer to form a
new cancer-fighting compound, 3-bromopyruvate (3BP). “She completed her master's degree in
nutritional physiology at Iowa State University and graduate school in biochemistry/biophysics
at Washington State University. In the 1990s she came to Johns Hopkins as a postdoctoral
fellow.”
“Asked by [Dr. Peter] Pedersen to find a drug that would target both types of energy
production, Ko thought of a substance that she had worked with as a graduate student. This was
3BP…Young refer[s] to 3BP as a kind of "Trojan horse," which tricks the cancer cell into
thinking that it is receiving a useful nutrient, when in fact it is receiving a powerful cancer-
killing molecule.”
“Given 3BP, as specially formulated by Ko, tumor cells are quickly destroyed, while
normal cells are left unaffected. This is because, unlike tumor cells, normal cells do not have
elevated levels of monocarboxylic acid transporters (MCTs). As Ko and Pedersen explained it,
MCTs are the transporters that allow 3BP to get inside tumor cells. Once inside, 3BP quickly
destroys both of the tumor cells' power plants (glycolysis and OxPhos). The tumor cells die
quickly via either apoptosis or necrosis (two common methods of cell death), attended by a rapid
depletion of their energy.”

Carolyn McMakin MA, DC
“FSM was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using
frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice
that came with a machine made in the 1920’s. Dr. McMakin developed
protocols for the treatment of myofascial pain in 1996 and presented her
clinical data at the American Back Society national meeting in December 1997. In 1998,
she published paper on the “Treatment of chronic resistant myofascial pain in the head,
neck and face” in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic. In addition to other published FSM
papers, Dr. McMakin's textbook "Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management"
was recently published by Elsevier. Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997 to see if the
effects of FSM were reproducible. By June 1997 it was clear that the effects were
reproducible and the seminars have evolved into a three day intensive class in the use of
frequency protocols, the differential diagnosis of pain generators and neurologic
conditions…
Since 1997, hundreds of practitioners around the world have taken the FSM seminar
and use this amazing new technique to help patients recover from myofascial pain,
fibromyalgia, sports injuries, concussion and many other health concerns. The FSM
seminar teaches frequency protocols, differential diagnosis of pain complaints and hands
on use of the microcurrent equipment. Our students evaluate the seminars consistently with
5/5 value approval ratings.
Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC is the leading authority and developer of Frequency
Specific Microcurrent (FSM). She maintains a part time clinical practice, participates in
research and teaches seminars on the use of FSM in the United States, Australia, Ireland
and Europe. She has lectured at the National Institutes of Health and at numerous

chronic pain syndromes” - frequencyspecific.com
