Dr. Sprague has had a long career in family practice, allergy treatment, and environmental medicine. His history includes eight years as a family physician in Beeville, Texas. In his practice there, he concentrated on primary care, with a special interest in obstetrics. During this time, he delivered 2,000+ babies, the last two being his own. It was during this time that Dr. Sprague first became involved in alternative and environmental medicine.
From 1980 to 1986 Dr. Sprague studied and practiced all aspects of environmental medicine at a prominent clinic in Dallas, Texas, including alternative Low Dose Allergy treatments, which he continues to offer today. During this time he also established a ground-breaking Pre-Menstrual Syndrome Clinic. He is certified by the American Board of Environmental Medicine in all aspects of environmental medicine, including nutrition, toxicology, allergies, chemical sensitivity and occupational medicine.
Then following a childhood dream, Dr. Sprague began an active duty Naval career which took him from occupational health doctor, to flight surgeon, and finally, to board certified Aerospace Medicine Specialist. He served as the Senior Medical Officer on two aircraft carriers before retiring in the fall of 1999.
Dr. Sprague returned to Texas in 1999 to re-open his private practice, but was soon lured by NASA in Houston, Texas to act as their Medical Director, Occupational Medicine Clinic and Project Manager for medical aspects of astronaut training.
Additionally, in conjunction with his training and interest in aviation medicine, Dr. Sprague is a qualified pilot and Senior FAA Medical Examiner, who provides FAA flight physicals to many local pilots.
Upon retiring from NASA in 2003, Dr. Sprague began working in wound care and hyperbarics in Webster, Texas, and continues to work in this field to this date.
Due to the unique characteristics of the clinic at South Coast Hyperbaric Medicine, he was able to begin hyperbaric treatments for children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, traumatic brain injured children and adults, and stroke victims, along with the usual wound care patients. The results were impressive.
Since 2004, Dr. Sprague has continued to treat Autistic and developmentally delayed children in his private practice, offering LDA allergy treatment for their food allergies, counseling and education in nutritional supplements geared toward this population, and various DAN! protocols

Throughout her extensive medical career, Dr. Suzanne Gazda has been committed to the highest standards in patient care that always focus on the most individualized protocols. Renowned for her “patients are people first” approach, Dr. Gazda’s career represents an extraordinary wealth of experience beginning with her first days of study at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. Board-certified in neurology, she subsequently founded the Neurology Institute of San Antonio (NISA) and has participated in more than 200 clinical research studies for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, headache, and epilepsy.
From this diverse perspective in neurological disorders and in response to the burgeoning critical needs, Dr. Gazda expanded the scope of her practices to include the evaluation and treatment of long COVID and COVID vaccine injuries. Dr Gazda works closely with the FLCCC (Front Line COVID Critical Care Alliance) with education focused on understanding the neurological impacts post-pandemic, post infection and vaccine. She says, “We are facing a Tsunami of chronic illness” and therefore it is critically important for all care providers to understand the concepts of Long COVID and Post vaccine injury. She also has completed extensive learning in Functional Medicine, a systems-based approach that addresses the root cause of disease. This knowledge base and insight enhances her patient care and diagnostic capabilities with clinically proven therapies for many neurological disorders and diseases.
Additionally, she has taken her compassionate skills to distant global locales, studying neurological disorders in remote places where access to care and adequate research is typically limited. Her work with Hope for Humans made a profound impact on the lives of many children and families in Northern Uganda struggling to identify and receive appropriate treatments for some of the rarest conditions.
Among her many professional associations, Dr. Gazda was first appointed in April 2020 by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to serve on the state’s 14-member Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Advisory Council. The council advises the commission and the legislature on research, diagnosis, treatment, and education relevant to pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome and related disorders (PANS/PANDAS). A lifelong Texan, Dr. Gazda is the proud mother of three daughters and devoted grandmother of five.

Dr. Dayan Goodenowe is an expert on the biochemical mechanisms of aging and disease. In 1999, he invented a technology platform that could simultaneously measure thousands of biochemicals in blood. Tens of thousands of human samples have been analyzed from healthy and diseased persons of all ages. The biochemical data collected has enabled Dr. Goodenowe to identify specific biochemical system failures (Prodromes) that occur with aging and prior to the occurrence of disease. In addition to predicting disease and death before it happens, Dr. Goodenowe designs bioidentical metabolic intermediates to correct prodromes, prevent disease, and increase longevity and vitality.
