Born May, 26, 1941. Perth, Western Australia.
Dr. Chris graduated M.B.,B.S. (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) at the University of Western Australia in 1973, He spent most of his professional career in family practice in Perth and Melbourne.
In 1985, he joined the International Organisation for Migration in Hong Kong assessing Vietnamese refugees for resettlement in many countries. In 1991 (the Yeltsin period) he moved to Moscow to oversee medical assessments of Russian Jews re-settling in the United States.
In 1989, Dr. Chris, via his Perth winebar, “Riccardo’s”, was responsible for returning the then unemployed classical pianist, David Helfgott (the subject of the Oscar-winnning film “Shine”) to the concert stage. He later introduced David to his wife-to-be from Sydney, Gillian Murray. This story was later told (albeit erroneously) in the movie “Shine”, that won an Oscar for Australian actor Geoffrey Rush.
After moving to Melbourne in 1995, Dr. Chris discovered numerous, often remarkable healing effects with a wheatgrass extract used orally or topically. Its numerous, remarkable therapeutic properties eventually prompted him to create the “Dr Wheatgrass” brand products that have now assisted the recovery of countless medical conditions and injuries, worldwide – often when orthodox treatments had failed.
