About Leading Edge Clinic

Our History

Leading Edge Clinic arose organically when Dr. Pierre Kory and Scott Marsland saw, first-hand, a suffering patient population of Long Covid, Post-Vaccine Injured, and acutely ill patients, who were being failed by the traditional medical system. At best, patients were ignored. At worst, patients were given downright dangerous advice, such as getting additional boosters, receiving Remdesivir, early intubation, etc…

Early on, we recognized those suffering did not have the luxury to wait a decade for an RCT to be developed, carried out, and interpreted. This, followed by another decade for drug development to occur. On top of it all, Dr. Kory and Scott were experiencing heavy doubts around the medical system’s desire to heal patients. In the throes of Covid and an initial vaccination campaign, Dr. Kory resigned from his role as Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. UW-Madison placed a gag order on Dr. Kory for his outspoken championing of Ivermectin and other repurposed drugs for early treatment of Covid patients. Putting his values over his job and reputation, Dr. Kory refused to remain silent about these life-saving, low cost, safe drugs.

Around the same time, with the writing on the wall, the FLCCC (now IMA) was playing match-maker. With Dr. Kory stepping down from UW-Madison and headed to private practice, he needed a practice partner that could hold his own. They were impressed by Scott Marsland’s knowledge on “spikopathy”, and his history of spear-heading various people-first movements, such as organizing unionization efforts at SUNY Upstate Medical Center. When Scott received a call from FLCCC, he was pondering a career change. His first Pfizer shot already put him in heart failure, and he would not be receiving another, nor participating in a system that was still giving it to patients he cared for. Together, they opened a telehealth practice, solely to help those suffering from covid-related conditions, or those seeking preventative care, using repurposed drugs and supplements. The very things that neither Dr. Kory nor Scott could do in their academic and state run health facility employers. In our early days, we were the Advanced Covid-19 Care Center, which represented our commitment to all things spike protein-related.

Within a year, Dr. Kory and Scott learned a few hard truths… First, we were on the cusp of a severe chronic illness epidemic, and there would be more patients that we could care for. The practice would have to grow with like-minded, skilled providers. Second, not only were their hunches about mainstream medicine correct, the system was worse than they could have imagined. Many patients suffering from chronic illness have known this for a long time. Gaslighting, reactive symptom management, ‘cures’ that were worse than the disease… were all long-time staples of healthcare. Fortunately, the crash course in post-viral ME/CFS, latent viral reactivation, Mast-Cell Activation Syndrome, and other complex multi-system presentations of Long Haul Covid and Post-Vaccine injury provided them with the clinical skillset to address root cause issues and regenerative approaches that focused on systemic healing. Their understanding of biochemistry and biophysics grew, so that they could bring new modalities and approaches to improving patient outcomes. We found these approaches to be effective across a number of complex chronic conditions. 

As we expanded our practice, more patients learned about us, and came to us with other non-covid conditions. At this point, it became clear that the scope of our mission outgrew the Advanced Covid-19 Care Center, and we soon became The Leading Edge Clinic. Around the same time, we made the decision to practice as Certified Tribal Healers and Practitioners under the First Nations Medical Board. This decision was made due to First Nations Medical Board’s prioritization of patients’ right to choice of treatment. It is reflected in our integrative approach, commitment to informed consent, and even the natural colors and imagery used to represent the clinic. Today, we are a practice of 22, and growing. We have skilled and compassionate providers, nursing staff, and office staff. Half of our staff have either been fired from and ostracized by the mainstream medical community for their desire to do right by their patients. The other half are suffering from the very issues we treat. All of us are awake to the fact that medicine has long failed the needs of the patient. That is what drives our mission.

Leading Edge Clinic's Mission

We are committed to providing our patients with personalized, 1:1 care utilizing an evidence-based approach to medicine. Our patients suffering from complex chronic illnesses have been failed by lack of funding and research. Our practice recognizes these patients need someone in their corner on the pursuit of the leading edge. Every day, we push the boundaries of our knowledge in biochemistry and biophysics to further our understanding of root cause of illness, and the identification of treatments that promote healing. We do not push band-aid fixes, or pills with side effects worse than the condition itself. Using an open mind, an evidence-based approach, and treating our clinical observations like forensic detectives, our patients can be sure that they are with one of the top clinical teams when it comes to treating multi-system illness. Where the healthcare system offers little-to-nothing, we offer treatment options.

Leading Edge Clinic's Values

Integrity

Many of our staff stood up for what they believed in, when their workplace gave them ultimatums to be vaccinated, or be out of a job in 2021. Both refusing to get the Covid-19 Vaccine, as well as be part of a system that was recommending it to others, cost many of them their livelihood. More recently, it cost Dr. Kory his 3 board certifications.

Our employees wear these losses as a badge of honor. For us, these losses are a representation of the integrity we wish to demonstrate to our patients. In this way, our patients can be confident that their health is in good hands. We will not trade our integrity for a payout, nor to maintain the status quo. We will continue pushing the boundaries of what we know to help our patients heal.

Scientific Rigor

The scientific method has been taken into question following the massive amounts of fraud witnessed during the mRNA vaccine rollout, and suppression of safe, effective, and low-cost treatment alternatives. RCTs, once viewed as “gold standard”, have been exposed as nothing but pharmaceutical propaganda cosplaying as the scientific method (see: Alzheimer’s research, the revolving door between regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies, The Disinformation Playbook, etc…).

For us, Scientific Rigor is not just taking studies for what they say they are, but undressing the systemic bias that is introduced by financially interested outsiders funding academia, medical journals, studies, etc…. This process is critical in uncovering which treatment modalities are actually safe and effective. It means relying more upon our eyes and ears, and learning from our frontline experience treating patients, instead of relying upon a “standard of care”. Our standard of care is whatever is best for our patients.

Intellectual Curiosity

This is about not accepting the status quo, or taking things at face value. We believe lack of intellectual curiosity is detrimental to the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our society, as evidenced throughout the vaccine rollout.

In action, curiosity looks like seeking out better alternatives, when the current options do not satisfy patient needs. When a better alternative is found, it means we do not stop there, and we continue our research. It means not just finding something that works, but ensuring it is safe. And when we have found something that works well and is safe, it means finding something that works even better, is even safer, and costs our patients even less
