Jon Kaiser

Jon D. Kaiser, MD, is a Clinical Associate at the University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine, a past board member of International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis , previous Medical Director of K-PAX Pharmaceuticals , and a physician in private practice specializing in integrative medicine and the treatment of people with diseases of the nervous and immune systems.

Dr. Kaiser personally suffered from ME/CFS for over fifteen years. "It took me five years to recover to the point where I was close to normally functional. If I worked too hard, if some sort of stress occurred that I couldn't avoid, I would have a relapse lasting days to weeks," Kaiser said. "One of the things that got me interested in micronutrients and supplements early on was using them to help support my recovery." I also developed several mind-body techniques that we're extremely helpful in my recovery from ME/CFS.

As Medical Director of K-PAX Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Kaiser helped perform the Synergy Trial, a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of a new treatment designed to  improve the fatigue and decreased concentration symptoms in people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The treatment combines a low dosage of a prescription stimulant medication, methylphenidate hydrochloride, with broad-spectrum mitochondrial support nutrients.

At the beginning of 2020, Dr. Kaiser returned to private medical practice in Mill Valley, California and currently consults with patients worldwide using telemedicine. In 2019, Dr. Kaiser wrote an E-book titled "A Healing Program for Fibro & Fatigue" that can be obtained free on his medical practice website.
