Comprehensive Health Services
Interview with Dr. Robert Lee Gear Jr.

How long have you been in practice and how many patients do you currently have?

My Aunt, Dr. Sara V. Gear, and my Father, Dr. Robert Lee Gear Sr., began their practice of naturopathic medicine in Phoenix, Arizona in 1927 and 1928 respectively. My mother came to Phoenix in 1939 to be employed by Dr's. Sam and Erlea Brown, naturopathic medical physicians, with the duties of laboratory testing, x-ray technician, colon hydrotheraptist, and general medical assistant.

I began my practice of medicine January 1964 as a general practitioner following graduation from chiropractic medical school education and training which included naturopathic and osteopathic medical understandings. I have seen 20,000 plus people in my ongoing career. They have suffered from a very wide variety of diseases, injuries, and illnesses. I have been very interested in restoring their minds and bodies to their DNA programming without the physical, chemical, psychological, or infectious traumas from earthly events.

What was it that made you specifically interested in the field of antiaging medicine? I had a vision when I was half finished with my Senior Year in High School. This lead me in a more holistic direction and ultimately to establishing my medical clinic Comprehensive Health Services.

What are the differences between a traditional family doctor and an antiaging doctors?

The traditional family doctor is interested in relieving the patient of their presenting symptom/s by a method that relieves the symptom/s and then on to the next patient.

Antiaging doctors are interested in learning more about the patient and then treating the underlying cause of the condition/s; if the condition is not an urgent medical/surgical condition which is taken care of first. All people age, the focus of the "anti-aging" physician is to stop premature aging, then find the correct methods of feeding the cell structure of that person's body in a manner that slows the degradation of the alleles within the body cellular structure. This is the path taken at Comprehensive Health Services.

What are the benefits of seeing an antiaging doctors?

The physician will delve into the persons entire medical record and investigate current symptoms with the understanding of integrative physiology. The person's body will be addressed as an individual not some assembly line production body.

Will antiaging doctors network with each other and with my family doctor?

It depends entirely on the presenting patient condition and their desire for maximum health attainment.

What is the particular focus you take with your patients at Comprehensive Health Services and why?

Before any scientifically directed treatment to slow the aging process in the cellular structure can begin we must first perform an evaluation of the person before us to determine the most effective course of action to be taken. This is commonly called Triage.

The five points to evaluate in each patient in order to properly understand their presenting symptoms and condition is in the order of precedence as follows.

• Genetics
• Structure
• Chemistry
• Psychology
• Pathological Organism

GENETICS We are born with the DNA code God gave us through our mother’s egg and our father’s sperm.

Humans are fast learning how to change the code for better or worse. In the next century this type of disease will be handled by medical genetic specialists, such as those currently working with the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research.

STRUCTURAL FORMATION

Structural formation and configuration are the determiners of fluid movement throughout the body.

Any interference with the free flow of fluid results in reduced nutrition and/or increased concentration of byproducts of cellular metabolism. Diagnostic imaging is performed as indicated to determine the extent of structural interference with fluid movement throughout the body. The resultant cellular changes in nutrition and excretion manifest as disease. This effects the following three points.

CHEMISTRY Environmental and/or conscious choices of chemical input, food or other environmental molecules, to the body determine whether the cell structure changes from moment to moment toward a healthy existence or a diseased existence. Laboratory blood testing is performed to determine the foods that are in reality poisons, Tissue is evaluated to determine the heavy metal loading.

PSYCHOLOGY As a human thinks so will the chemistry of the brain influence the functioning of the entire structure. As researched and documented by Hans Selye, M.D. in his books Stress of Life and Stress without Distress written over fifty years ago. This is well documented by our understanding of the normal and abnormal effects of stress to which neuro-biologists are adding daily.

ORGANISMS LIVING IN THE BODY Highly virulent organisms living in the body that should not be living in the body (one cell or more celled parasites) and low virulence organisms that are commonly found in the body but living in abnormal numbers due to one of the preceding four items.

Could you please describe some of the most useful nutrients and drugs, which in your experience have been the most helpful for your patients?

Digestive Enzymes, indicated hormone replacement, indicated micro and macro nutrients

In general, what sort of relationship do you see between stress and health, and how can a certain degree of physical or mental stress as through caloric restriction benefit our health?

A person has the tendency to overload their digestive tract on a daily basis resulting in disease producing partially digested or mal-digested molecules being infiltrated into a person's blood stream through micro ulcerations of the digestive tract when they suffer from unresolved anxiety.

They also suffer from a chronic elevated alarm state which causes the molecules necessary for the flight, flight, reproduction reaction of a person's hormone producing glands.

What do you think are currently the best ways to slow down, or reverse the aging process and extend the human life span?

I have previously explained my position on the fundamentals of the premature aging process. I am certain that research physiologists will continue to make progress in the identification of specific cellular molecules necessary to be present in the cell to prevent apoptosis (cell death).

Thank you Dr. Gear for sharing your ideas and opinions with us, and giving us a professional perspective on antiaging medicine.
