He developed an auto-immune disease as a medical student and has found assistance from both allopathic and complementary medicine.

Bruce has the ability to put difficult concepts into simple, easily assimilated modules. This, with his entertaining style of presentation, has created a worldwide demand for his workshops which are taught in 20 countries and translated into six languages.
