Nutraceuticals & Endocannabinoid Science

A Natural Approach to Pain and Recovery

The fields of nutraceuticals and endocannabinoid science are transforming how we think about pain management, inflammation, and overall health.

As a surgeon, I have seen firsthand how traditional pharmaceuticals—especially NSAIDs like Bextra and Vioxx, have been linked to serious health risks, including heart attacks and strokes.

My goal is to provide safer, natural alternatives that reduce inflammation and promote healing without harmful side effects.

The Power of Omega-3 for Joint & Overall Health

In 2004, Dr. Pete Sharkey and I developed one of the purest Omega-3 fish oil supplements to provide a safe natural anti-inflammatory option to NSAIDs withdrawn from the U.S. market due to long-known safety concerns. Now part of PRNvision.com, this third-party-tested natural triglyceride formula supports joint health, inflammation reduction, and overall well-being.

I recommend the liquid Omega-3 product—one teaspoon delivers > 2000 mg of DHA & EPA (active omega 3’s) with better absorption than capsules.

Pro tip: Keep it in the fridge and let it sit out for a few minutes before taking it. Dr. Meade recommends De Omega Benefits Liquid or De Omega Benefits Softgels.

The Endocannabinoid System & Pain Management

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is critical in modulating pain, anxiety, inflammation, immune regulation, and recovery. Research shows that non-psychoactive cannabinoids can be effective in post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and reducing reliance on opioids.

By integrating nutraceuticals and endocannabinoid science, I help patients achieve faster recovery and long-term pain relief through evidence-based, natural solutions.
