In 2014 he has been awarded the health excellence award in alternative medicine. This way based on the genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and nutrigenomic profile of each individual he is able to prevent, mitigate, and treat acute and chronic diseases on a personalized basis by tailoring evidence based nutrition after identifying existing diets which can be a serious risk factor for various diseases, dietary chemicals which may act directly or indirectly on the human genome altering gene expression or structure , the degree to which diet affects the equilibrium between health and disease states based on an individual’s genetic makeup, specific diet-regulated genes, and their normal common variants which may influence the onset, incidence, progression and severity of chronic diseases, and mainly the dietary intervention based on nutritional requirement, status, and genotype which under a personalized nutritional practice may prevent, mitigate, and cure chronic disease in combination with the other alternative medicine approaches which he uses in his daily practice that may be used under a complementary medicine approach with the aim to achieve an integrative holistic medicine approach. Since nutritional needs vary with life stage, life style and its derived diseases, inherited diseases due to genetic predispositions, cultural mores, mutant food and environment may identify the food variables related to human diversity with omic technologies including a qualified academic knowledge and understanding of gene-nutrient interactions with subsequent translation of their reflected clinical relevance for practicing a personalized nutrition approach and tailored administration of bioactive compounds such as peptides aiming to improve nutrition for optimal personal health under a tailored basis.He is a professional member of the Federation of Holistic Therapist(UK) and presently has completed a DSc thesis in Integrative Medicine and he is also practicing precision integrative medicine based on genomic,nutrigenomic and epigenomic evidence on an individualized basis. He is board certified by the American Alternative Medical Association and the founder of Translational Personalised/Precision Metagenomic Cancer Medicine (TPMCM) including evidence based medicine of Metatranscriptomics, Metaproteomics, Meta-metabolomics, Pharmacomicrobiomics, and Metaepigenomics. Finally, author of open access book of TUMOUR-INDUCED IMMUNOSUPPRESSION, IMMUNOSURVEILLANCE, IMMUNOMODULATION, IMMUNOTHERAPY AND IMMUNONUTRITION IN PRECISION CANCER MEDICINE (PCM).
