Webinar

Clinicians and healthcare professionals are invited to an evening of virtual networking and peer-to-peer learning. We are pleased to welcome otolaryngologist Craig Zalvan, MD, FACS, addressing Farma -- Not Pharma -- to Treat Reflux Disease.

Reflux disease, both gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), is a costly problem that affects millions of people, with billions spent yearly on medication and diagnostic workup. Historically, all reflux has been treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and other drugs. However, Dr. Zalvan and his colleagues' research has demonstrated that a mostly plant-based diet can effectively reverse reflux disease, improve symptoms, and do so without expensive medication with potential side effects.

Craig H. Zalvan, MD, FACS is the Medical Director at the Institute for Voice and Swallowing Disorders and Chief of Otolaryngology at Phelps Hospital, Northwell Health in Sleepy Hollow, New York. He is a Professor of Otolaryngology at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and a partner at ENT and Allergy Associates, LLP in New York.
