Franco’s Personal Philosophy:
To improve upon your own skills, knowledge-base, and character in perpetuity are to hone your God-given gift with which you are expected to contribute to the improvement and advancement of humanity. To persist with discovery within and outside yourself and to apply these findings to serve your community is an obligation we each must take seriously in hopes of making a positive impact on mankind globally. Biologic Pharmamedical is based on and guided by this personal philosophy.
Franco’s Personal story:
Initially driven by a passion to better understand nutraceuticals and nutrition in order to enhance performance during his quest to win the title of several North American bodybuilding competitions, Franco Cavaleri was struck with ulcerative colitis, a serious autoimmune disease. This disease derailed Cavaleri twice with hospitalization and with a prognosis of surgical intervention with prohibitive lifestyle consequences but was also the impetus that changed Cavaleri’s course of research forever. Cavaleri’s research into anti-inflammatory strategies, originally used to support recovery from training, quickly became focused on better understanding the pharmacology of natural medicinal agents to rehabilitate his ulcerative colitis, without surgical intervention. Cavaleri was able to overcome his disease without surgery!
According to Cavaleri, the key was to isolate an extract instrumental in reducing inflammation. Cavaleri achieved efficient separation of the curcuminoids within the curcumin extract and studied the pharmacology of each constituent independently in isolation. He was able to unravel the pharmacology of each constituent at a cellular and subcellular level in multiple cell lines and tissues. In this way, Cavaleri has discovered a way to predict curcumin and curcuminoid activity – the result is the new potential to design curcumin-based therapies with greater precision, with the ability to more selectively target subcellular proteins involved in the development of disease symptoms and pathology and increased efficacy by indication. These discoveries changed everything we knew about curcumin and set a new standard.
