Mary-Beth Charno, APRN-C (Advisor)
Mary-Beth Charno, RN, MSN, ANP-C is a graduate of Stony Brook University with a Master’s degree in Advanced Practice Nursing, and Pace University with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Mary-Beth worked for ten years in oncology, starting her career in hospital nursing at the bedside of acute cancer patients; then advanced to Certified Chemotherapy Nurse, treating in outpatient settings at Memorial Sloan Kettering and Monter Cancer Center. Some of her most interesting work was spent as nurse manager at an alternative cancer center in Long Island where she learned insulin potential therapy, IV nutrient drips, ozone therapy, ultraviolet light therapy and unique nutritional approaches.
Early on in her career she became Board Certified as a Holistic Nurse through the American Holistic Nurses Association, and this training continues to inform her patient care. She has spoken at many nursing grand rounds, conferences and retreats over the years teaching nurses and organizations the value and
benefits of holistic care for their patients as for themselves. As a nurse practitioner she worked alongside such great mentors as Dr. Richard Horowitz learning his MSIDS model of treating Lyme disease, Dr. Joseph Jemsek understanding his polymicrobial pulse therapy of antibiotics, and Dr. Maurice Beer honing her functional medicine skills. These invaluable teachings are the foundation of her protocols today.
