Dr. Paul Jaconello qualified at the London Hospital Medical
School in London, England, in 1967. After his internships in medicine, surgery
and obstetrics, he embarked on a career in anesthesia and procured his fellowship
examinations in England. He came to Canada in 1973 and continued his career
in anesthesia for a further two years as an assistant professor in anesthesia
at The University Hospital, Saskatoon, and also at McMaster University Medical
College.
In 1975, Dr. Jaconello decided that he could help more people in primary care
medicine and decided to go into general practice in Toronto. He worked in
a single-handed practice for four years. Over this period of time, he came
to realize that conventional medical practice was not effective for the majority
of his patients who were suffering from stress related disorders. The use
of drugs such as mood elevators, tranquilizers, and sedatives lead to more
harmful effects than good and did not solve the problems of his patients.
Unwilling to use drugs as treatment, he began his study of nutrition and orthomolecular
medicine to resolve the health problems of his patients.
He became more interested in the use of nutritional therapy in the treatment
of lifestyle and stress related disorders. Dr. Jaconello then attended a conference
on Hair Mineral Analysis in November 1979, given by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Associate
Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington
which gave him the additional momentum to concentrate his work in nutritional
therapy in the treatment and prevention of disease and functional problems.
Dr. Jaconello formed a clinic in October 1979. This clinic is dedicated to
the use of nutritional therapy in the treatment of patients and combines the
proper use of conventional medicine and nutritional medicine in the treatment
and counseling of patients. As time went, he came across information about
Allergies and Chelation therapy.
In studying the area of Allergies, Dr. Jaconello became aware of the use of
low dose immunotherapy in the management of environmental and food allergies.
He began an intensive study of this modality of treatment developed by the
English Immunologist, Dr. Leonard McEwan. As a result, since 1991 he has attended
many seminars given by Dr. McEwan and has found this a very helpful modality
of treatment for allergic and food sensitive patients.
Through the study of EDTA Chelation Therapy, Dr. Jaconello found this to be
an invaluable treatment in management of patients with arteriosclerotic cardiovascular
disease when combined with conventional medical therapy, proper nutrition
lifestyle and appropriate exercise. He passed his final examination for the
American Board of Chelation Therapy in spring of 1998 and he is now a Diplomate
of Chelation Therapy.
He is now entering into the area of the role of mercury toxicity in human
health problems and is evaluating this problem in many of his patients.
Dr. Jaconello has also attended seminars by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D. who is
a pioneer in the application of molecular medicine in the management of a
multitude of health problems and uses the tenets of this information in the
management of his patients.
Dr. Jaconello continues his studies on a daily basis to improve his practice
and help his patients through nutritional therapy.
Community service and education form an important role for Dr. Jaconello.
He has given lectures at Club 44, ManuLife Centre, the Elmwood Club, the Jewish
Community Centre, the Hamilton Chapter of the Consumer Health Organization
and the Electrolysis Association of Ontario.
Dr. Jaconello has given seminars for NutriDyn in Red Deer, Alberta and here
in Toronto. The International Foodservice Editorial Council had him speak
at their 1985 Conference Between Friends. He has spoken out against pollution
for the Watchdog Committee against Pollution.
He has appeared numerous times on television and radio in Florida, speaking
on nutritional and preventative medicine. He has been a guest on The Journal,
CBC, and spoke on CBC in Alberta concerning Candida Albicans. He has also
appeared on the Morton Shulman show, and Marketplace, he has spoken on radio
and has lectured in various provinces in Canada and the U.S.
Dr. Jaconello maintains a busy practice, using diet, vitamins, minerals, amino
acids, essential fatty acids, and good lifestyle management to treat his patients.
He also treats patients with chronic candidiasis and maintains a network of
specialists to whom he refers some patients for specific problems.
Dr. Jaconello works closely with orthodox, traditional physicians and encourages
his patients to continue their medical treatments as well as using "alternative
" methods.
Dr. Jaconello gives lectures every second Wednesday to enhance the knowledge
of his patients and their friends and family about nutrition and preventive
medicine.
The Jaconello Health Centre for Nutritional and Preventive Medicine, serves
patients who come for this type of medicine. His purpose is to bring a new
quality of health to those who wish it, and to educate doctors and the public
on the amazing results, which can be achieved through the use of vitamins,
minerals and natural substances.
