Alex Bibikau, M.D.

Alex Bibikau, M.D. – is a physician certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine who has over 20 years of clinical experience of providing care to patients with various ailments in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Dr. Bibikau graduated summa cum laude from Belarusian Medical University. After completing his residency training at Yale-New Haven Hospital, Dr. Bibikau continued working there as an Attending Physician caring for severely ill patients and received multiple honors & commendations for his work, including “For demonstration of exceptional ability in humanistic qualities and professionalism”, “For exemplifying good patient care and compassion”, “For responsiveness to patients in an outstanding manner”. With an emphasis and a personal passion for Medical Cannabis Treatment, Longevity, and Preventive Medicine, Dr. Bibikau founded REN Health.

As an activist and a member of Americans for Safe Access, Dr. Bibikau participated in the International Conference on Medical Cannabis held in Washington, DC in 2016 where he contributed to finalizing “Cannabis and Cannabis Resin: Critical Review Preparation Document” for the United Nations. In 2018, Dr. Bibikau wrote a petition to the World Health Organization on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for global decriminalization and rescheduling of Cannabis “International Drug Scheduling, Cannabis Plant and Resin”.

Dr. Bibikau takes the time to educate patients and caregivers about the benefits & risks of Medical Cannabis, and provides follow-up care for all of his patients. Among Dr. Bibikau’s professional goals is establishing an open, trusting, and long lasting relationship with every individual patient.

The variety of medical applications of Cannabis are remarkable. A relatively recent (early 1990s) discovery of the Endocannabinoid System (internally produced cannabinoids and their receptors) found to be present in nearly every living organism – is one of the greatest breakthroughs in Physiology and Medicine. This helped us understand how one plant could safely and effectively treat a myriad of medical conditions since ancient times. The knowledge in this field is rapidly expanding with over 30,000 studies already published and multiple new studies coming out every day. I am excited that medical schools are starting to include this important subject into educational programs. At present, each practicing physician is required to have an extensive education before applying Cannabis and its numerous constituents to the treatment of patients. I am eager and enthusiastic to share my acquired knowledge and practical experience with patients in order to help them relieve debilitating symptoms and heal with the help of this extraordinary medicinal plant.
