Using the Title of “Dr” in the United States ❤️

I am pleased to announce that the National University of Medical Sciences which I founded in 2012, has successfully secured the right for its manual osteopathy graduates to use the professional title of “Dr” in the United States. This recognition allows NUMSS graduates to use the title of Dr before their names while providing full scope manual osteopathic services in the U.S.

The privilege of using the title of “Dr” is granted only to selected graduates of NUMSS who meet specific eligibility requirements. These requirements include active membership in the American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, which I founded in 2018.

I will be leaving Naples today to visit the York University Heights campus of the National Academy of Osteopathy, where I will be teaching and attending the graduation ceremonies. After that, I will travel to Spain to complete required administrative work for our university. I will also be visiting Switzerland before returning home to Naples, Florida in approximately two months.

If you need to see me at NAO, please arrange an appointment with Maria.

Thank you, have a great day and God bless.

Osteopathy & Naprapathy Worked Wonders on My Forearm! ❤️

Last week my doctors and physiotherapists were amazed at how well my fractured radius and large incision healed. When I explained why, one physiotherapist immediately decided to enroll in our naprapathy/manual osteopathy programs at National University of Medical Sciences, and my surgeon plans to refer patients once Osteo-Massage Health Centers of America opens in Naples. ❤️

Much of my recovery came from self-administered osteopathy and naprapathy during my 4 hours daily walks—adding gentle osteopathic osteoarticular & muscle energy techniques and focused naprapathic scar-tissue care, which dramatically reduced the scar. ❤️

This is why I’m in the U.S.: 70 million Americans suffer from chronic low back pain with little real care. My mission is to make manual osteopathy and naprapathy mainstream nationwide through education, clinics, associations, exams, and accreditation. ❤️

🎉 Happy New Year, Everyone! 🎉

Greetings from the beautiful waterfront campus of the National Academy of Osteopathy Center for Continuing Education in sunny Bonita Springs, Florida—where the views are calm, the mission is bold, and the coffee is strong.

I wish you a year filled with health, wealth, love, happiness… and fewer mysterious aches you wake up with for no reason.
Speaking of aches—2026 is the year I officially declare WAR on chronic pain in the United States. 💥

According to the Wall Street Journal, over 70 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and so far the options have been mostly “here’s a pill, good luck.” That ends now.

My goal? Simple (and slightly ambitious): every U.S. town with 100,000 people will have at least ONE osteopathic manual practitioner who specializes in chronic pain management.
Chronic pain, consider this your formal eviction notice! 🏃‍♂️💨

Happy New Year! 🎆😀🎄

Healthcare Revolution in the United States — with a Side of Holiday Magic! 🎄🇺🇸

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! Mine? One of the best ever. Why? Because I witnessed two miracles on Christmas Day right here in sunny Naples, Florida.

I have to say it again: I love the United States. This country has helped me—and my students—make millions of dollars. Many of the business principles I teach were learned simply by watching how things are done here.

Take Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) for example. It was introduced in the U.S. over 30 years ago. I brought that concept to Canada, and boom 💥—it generated millions in revenue for my medical assessment clinics in Toronto. Lesson learned: If the U.S. does something well, copy it (ethically), export it, and enjoy the results.

Marketing? Oh, Americans are Olympic-level marketers. I have never seen another country come close. If you simply replicate U.S. marketing strategies elsewhere, you’ll often be years ahead of the competition—and your bank account will notice.

Healthcare followed the same pattern. Once upon a time, healthcare professionals made incredible money from insurance companies. Then insurers said, “Nice income you’ve got there… let’s cut it.” Fees dropped, clinics struggled, and some practitioners went from charging close to $1,000 per visit to $20 per session. Ouch.

And then U.S. healthcare professionals had a realization:
👉 You don’t build wealth through insurance.
👉 You build wealth through cash patients.

So they did the unthinkable (at least in other countries):
They stopped accepting insurance.

Today, in some areas, up to 87% of healthcare providers are cash-only. Patients have insurance… but can’t use it unless it’s an emergency. Some insurers have even been sued—one settled for $40 million because only 13% of providers in certain regions accepted insurance& patients cannot use their insurance, basically paid insurers for useless coverage.

Even insured patients now pay cash just to get care. Why? Because practitioners finally understood a universal business truth:
💡 Cash patients allow you to charge what you’re worth.

While many insurers do cover osteopathic and naprapathic treatments provided by my students, I always teach this rule:
👉 At least 50% of your patients should be cash-paying.
Better yet, you can build a 100% cash-based practice if you follow basic, proven business principles for attracting cash patients.

So yes—healthcare in the U.S. is evolving, business-savvy, and (believe it or not) full of opportunity. If you wish to create wealth working as an osteopathic manual practitioner or naprapath is a sure way to do that as here they are geared to create wealth like no other location in the world!

Wishing you all a joyful, prosperous festive season filled with health, wealth, and plenty of cash-paying clients! ❤️😀

Friday marked the close of my 15th year of teaching osteopathy. We are now closed for the Christmas season and will re-open on Monday, January 5, 2026.

In 2010, I founded the National Academy of Osteopathy in Toronto. Two years later, in 2012, I established the National University of Medical Sciences (Spain) in Madrid. In 2016, the National University of Medical Sciences (USA) was founded in Florida, followed in 2017 by the Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada, which has since become the largest chronic pain clinic network in the world, operating in more than 380 clinics across 34 countries.

In 2018, I moved permanently to Panama and founded the National University of Medical Sciences (Panama). Most recently, in 2025, I relocated to Naples, Florida, where I established the National Academy of Osteopathy Center for Continuing Education.

Today, we are the largest provider of manual osteopathy education in the world, with alumni practicing in 72 countries. The majority of manual osteopaths in Canada and the United States have been my students.

All income generated from these educational institutions is reinvested back into the profession, supporting associations such as the College of Registered Manual Osteopaths, the American Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, and the Florida Naprapathic Association. While I founded these organizations, I entrusted them to my students to lead, manage, and grow.

Fifteen years have passed, and millions of patients around the world now live pain-free as a result of this education. Collectively, my students have generated over one billion dollars in income and have contributed millions of dollars back to their local communities.

My goal has always been to ensure that every community has access to chronic pain management and that my students improve their lives by applying the principles I teach. I am deeply grateful to God for allowing me to have a meaningful impact on this world and to help make it a better place through my students.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Peptides, Love, and Supplementing Income! ❤️

I went to see my surgeon yesterday… except he wasn’t there. Apparently he’s in China with a US national sports team because he’s one of the top surgeons in the entire United States. And, believe it or not, he was excited about the Pourgol fracture! Imagine that—my poor radius is now an international celebrity. I’m told he’s been talking about my case nonstop and might even write a paper on it! 😀

They removed my stitches and took an X-ray, and the healing looked so good that the assistants said I could walk out with no brace at all. But I know myself—I bought a full range-of-motion hinged elbow brace anyway, just to protect my superstar bone a few more days!

They kept asking how I healed so fast. I told them the truth:

First, LOVE. I talk daily to trees, flowers, animals—and yes, to my fractured forearm. I tell him: “We love you, we’re here for you, you’re not alone, and we’ll support you until you’re strong again.” With that much love and positive prayer, how could he not heal?

Second, natural PEPTIDES. I daily inject under skin peptides such as BPC-157, TP-500, GHK-CU, Ipamorelin & CJC-1295 that offer tremendous healing power.

Third, SUPPLEMENTS & FOOD. I made sure to feed my bones every mineral and molecule they crave & need.

With all that combined, the staff just shook their heads and said, “Wow… you heal like the Wolverine in X-men!” Coincidentally the BPC-157/TP-500 combo is called the Wolverine stack! 😀

Peptides may no longer be the hidden gold mine in America—every clinic from Miami to Montana is offering them—but new trends show up all the time. You just have to notice them and copy wisely. I made millions 30 years ago doing exactly that. In the U.S. they had “Functional Capacity Evaluation” with Arcon system. I brought the idea to Canada, renamed it “Functional Abilities Evaluation,” and charged $1,500 per test, doing 1000s of these tests over the years for MVA/ Slip & Fall & WSIB cases. Simple and effective! 😀❤️

So if peptides are still unknown in your country, add them to your osteopathy or naprapathy clinic. The athletes will come. The wealthy will come. And so will a healthy stream of supplemental income.

I am starting physiotherapy today. Already purchased 12 sessions for $840.

Have a great day loved ones and God bless you all! ❤️😀

Please join Florida Naprapathic Association. Membership is free and open to all health professionals everywhere!

My sleepless nights are back! Whenever I start a new project I get so energized I can’t even sleep! Right now I’m working to get naprapathy licensed and regulated in Florida. It’s one of the biggest projects I’ve ever taken on — costs about $2 million — and unlike Canada, there’s no personal payout here in the U.S. because the State controls regulation & licensing. But once profession is licensed, I’m confident we’ll have enough students to cover that cost. My schools believe in this and are helping fund it.

What we need from you is simple: show support by joining the Florida Naprapathic Association (FNA). There are two free membership categories right now — professional (for naprapaths everywhere, not just in Florida) and general (for everyone else, anywhere, not just Florida).

Your support gives us the momentum to finish this.

FNA website is being developed. Once ready you can approach them for membership but in the meantime send me an email to pourgol@pourgol.com and say you’d like to join the Florida Naprapathic Association. I will get FNA to send you the application form now.

Naprapathy has a bright future in Florida. I encourage everyone to enroll in the online Doctor of Naprapathy (DN) program offered by National University of Medical Sciences (USA & Spain). The 4-year program can be completed in 1–2 years on an accelerated basis, depending on your prior health education, and graduates will be grandfathered in Florida once regulation occurs.

Tuition is currently about €5,500 per year, but after regulation, it will become a 3-year full-time program with tuition rising to around $25,000 per year in Florida.

To learn more about our DN program please visit www.numss.com for our university in Spain and www.numss.us for the one in US. Thx.

Florida Naprapathic Examining Board Established

I’m excited to share that the Florida Naprapathic Examining Board has been created & registered to ensure all naprapaths in Florida meet a minimum standard of knowledge and competency before becoming licensed.

This board will oversee the licensing exams and professional standards for naprapaths — helping guarantee that every doctor of naprapathy (DN) is properly trained and qualified to provide safe, effective care to the public.

An examining board is one of the key requirements for obtaining full state licensure and regulation of naprapathic medicine in Florida. It demonstrates that our profession is organized, accountable, and ready to meet the same expectations as other licensed healthcare fields.

This is a major step toward our ultimate goal — making naprapathic medicine a licensed and regulated profession in Florida.

Exciting News for Naprapathic Education in Florida!

We are happy to announce registration of the Florida Council on Naprapathic Education (FCNE) — a new governing body established to evaluate and accredit schools offering naprapathic programs in Florida

This is an important step forward in the mission to regulate and secure state licensure for the profession of naprapathic medicine. By setting clear standards and ensuring that all Florida naprapathic schools meet a minimum required level of education and training, FCNE can help protect the public, elevate professional standards, and strengthen the future of naprapathy in Florida.

The establishment of FCNE brings the naprapaths one step closer to achieving full state recognition for naprapathic medicine in Florida — something that will benefit every practitioner, student, and patient.

Together, naprapaths are building the foundation for a strong and respected naprapathic community in Florida.
