CLJI began as a dream between two practicing medical doctors in different specialties that have been best friends for over 30 years. They decided to use their knowledge gained in their specialties of practice to help reduce pain and suffering in the world. These intentions became reality with the arrival of a third partner, a dynamic CEO and business leader. Together we committed to identifying problems and pursuing opportunities overlooked by the healthcare market. We are proud to be solving real problems with scientifically proven products.

OVERVIEW

FOUNDERS

CRAIG LICHTBLAU MD

FOUNDING PARTNER

Board Certified Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation

For more than 25 years, Dr. Craig Lichtblau has cared for catastrophically injured patients that have suffered from all types of musculoskelotal pain and deficits. These catastrophically injured patients include patients that have suffered from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, progressive neurological diseases, amputations, multiple orthopedic trauma, and burns. Dr. Lichtblau has admitted over 6,200 patients at a level 1 trauma center St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. Dr. Lichtblau has treated over 35,000 outpatients in his outpatient practice that have suffered from musculoskeletal pain and discomfort.

Worldwide STD prevention became the initial project. Dr. Lichtblau’s intent was far greater than merely reducing the transmission of disease. He felt strongly about decreasing pain and anguish, and heading off the many internal and neurological complications that can result from infection. The result was the invention of a cream lotion which forms a ‘liquid mechanical barrier’ to enhance the skin’s protective abilities, developed with his fellow physician and friend of over 30 years, Dr. Jose Iparraguirre.

Dr. Lichtblau wears many hats as a physician and a educator. He is the Founding Medical Director of the inpatient rehabilitation unit at St. Mary’s Medical Center, as well as the Medical Director at the Florida Institute for Neurologic Rehabilitation. He is an Expert Medical Advisor for the State of Florida Agency of Health Care Administration.

Dr. Lichtblau earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from American University of the Caribbean and completed a four year residency training program at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, MO.
