HMRDO EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE
Metabolic Education, Research Innovation & Training (M.E.R.I.T.) Certification Program
The Human Metabolic Research & Development Organization (HMRDO), led by Prof. Dr. A.S. Narain Naidu, PhD (Medicine), Director-General HMRDO, is a consortium of scientists and healthcare professionals dedicated to developing standardized evaluation protocols and evidence-based interventions for managing and resetting HMR/D. The HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program specifically emphasizes the role of chiropractic care in potential clinical management of viral-induced HMR/D in post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), commonly known as the Long-COVID.
The HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program, presents an innovative chiropractic approach for effective management of viral-induced metabolic reprogramming/ dysregulation (HMR/D) in PASC.
A privilege of delivering the keynote lecture on ‘Precision Chiropractic for Long-COVID Recovery’ at the FCA National on August 17, 2024, in Orlando, FL. Thanks to the 3,000 amazing chiropractors for their undivided attention and enthusiasm. We announce the launch of M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program in North America, a collaborative initiative between HMRDO and FCA. This program will prepare hundreds of chiropractors to advance Long-COVID healthcare across the continent.

Why Attend the HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program?
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program aims to enhance the role of chiropractic care in potential reset of viral-induced HMR/D, with a focus on the neuro-cognitive and skeleto-muscular impairments associated with PASC.
With approximately 500 million people globally suffering from PASC, there is a dire need for more effective treatment options. PASC patients can be categorized into four distinct clusters or sub-phenotypes based on the wide range of symptoms affecting various organs and systems:
Sub-phenotype 1 (33.7%): Characterized by cardiac & renal manifestations
Sub-phenotype 2 (32.8%): Includes respiratory issues, sleep & anxiety disorders
Sub-phenotype 3 (23.4%): Marked by skeleto-muscular & neurological disorders
Sub-phenotype 4 (10.1%): Involves gastro-intestinal & pulmonary dysfunctions
SIGNIFICANCE
-
Critical Need: As Long-COVID cases continue to rise, it is crucial for chiropractic professionals to gain the knowledge and pertinent skill set for effective management of these complex metabolic syndromes.
-
Innovative Approach: The program marks a shift towards a more precise, evidence-based scientific approach in chiropractic care, integrating advanced nutritional and interventional strategies.
GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS
Chiropractic care can play a significant role in the recovery process for PASC patients, particularly those in Sub-phenotypes 2 and 3. When integrated with system-targeted, evidence-based precision nutrition, chiropractic care has synergistic impact in resetting viral-induced HMR/D for a healthy recovery. The HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program will equip you with the knowledge and skills to effectively contribute to the treatment of PASC patients, improving their overall recovery outcomes.
Prof. Dr. Narain Naidu, Director-General, HMRDO, talks to Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, an internationally acclaimed educator & President Emeritus of Parker University in Texas, about a potential opportunity for chiropractic care to reset viral-induced human metabolic reprogram/ dysregulation (HMR/D) in PASC or Long-COVID. It is emphasized that the HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program is a forward-thinking initiative for chiropractors to proactively and effectively handle the complex challenges of Long- COVID and future viral-induced HMR/D episodes.

What is the HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program ?
The HMRDO/M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program is a specialized educational initiative tailored to equip chiropractors with the knowledge and skills necessary to support patients affected by viral-induced HMR/D in Post-COVID Metabolic Syndrome (PCMS) or Long-COVID. This Program has THREE (3) distinct course segments, each focused on effective patient care to reset and recover from HMR/D.

Opportunity to participate in ‘Precision Chiropractic’ Global Research Initiative
A major observational clinical study on Precision Chiropractic intervention protocol has been designed and ready for a global launch. This observational study is intended to collect clinical research data to consolidate therapeutic guidelines/ standards, and provide scientific credibility for Precision Chiropractic Care in the management of viral-induced HMR/D (PASC). Chiropractors qualified with 3-hour HMRDO-M.E.R.I.T. Certification Program are exclusively considered to partake in this landmark observational clinical study. This scientific data/ analytics/ results generated in this controlled clinical trial will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Principles of Daniel David Palmer
Relevance to the ongoing viral-induced HMR/D in PASC
According to DD Palmer (Circa 1895), the human body is a self-regulated innate program that maintains ‘homeostasis’, or a functional balance of all the systems essential for organization of life. A chiropractic role is to detect and remove any interferences to neuro-cognitive transmission(s) and to reset the nervous system at its regular function. Interestingly, the neuro-cognitive impairments, brain fog and chronic fatigue syndrome in the ongoing global health crisis with viral-induced HMR/D, have been predicted by the following statements in the 33-Chiropractic Principles of DD Palmer.
(21) The Mission of Innate Intelligence. The mission of innate Intelligence (genetic program) is to maintain the material of the body (cellular structure/ function) of a ‘living thing’ (human body) in active organization (redox ‘metabolic’ homeostasis).
(29) Interference with Transmission of Innate Forces. There can be interference (reprogramming or dysregulation) with the transmission of innate forces (redox metabolic pathways).
