In 2016, Dr. Gordon was a co-author of a groundbreaking study on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, “Metabolic Features of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” (http://www.pnas.org/content/113/37/E5472.full), published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS). Dr Gordon is currently designing outcome studies to be used across multiple practices to evaluate the effectiveness of non-standard tests and correlate them with patient experiences. In 2019, GMA is participating in a pilot study with the Lyme Disease Biobank to collect blood samples from patients with chronic Lyme disease. These samples will be used by researchers to better understand the disease and to evaluate solutions.

For Dr. Gordon, knowledge and understanding does not come primarily from research, but from interaction and direct experience with his patients. He is first and foremost a private practice physician. Understanding chronic illness requires a larger perspective than the traditional one. Most of medicine consists of identifying the triggering event, removing it, counting on the body to heal, and a subsequent return to health. In chronic illness the healing cycle is not completed, the path leading to a return to health is interrupted. This interruption in the completion of the healing cycle healing is often due to a toxic exposure or an infection. The healing cycle is a multifactorial dance between an individual, genetics, and their physical and emotional environment.  Dr Gordon’s goal is to help direct the science of medicine toward the treatment of the person on their road to healing.
