Start here
Some people arrive here trying to explain a change in their own health. Some are practitioners who want the mechanism. Some want the published evidence. Some want a private clinical interpretation. This page routes you to the right place in one step.
Why people trust this work
Your starting point
Each route opens a short guide on this page. You can follow more than one — but starting in the right place saves time.
For patients
Start with plain-language education and a free structured assessment. The aim is pattern recognition — understanding what may be driving a confusing clinical picture — before you decide what to do next.
Start with a free assessmentFor practitioners
Structured courses and masterclasses for clinicians, therapists and health professionals — covering immune dysregulation, viral persistence, gut–immune–inflammation interactions and post-COVID physiology.
Browse the coursesFor researchers
Peer-reviewed publications, population-level analysis of hospital admission patterns, and the COVID STORM framework that connects immune dysregulation to chronic, metabolic and neurodegenerative disease.
Explore the researchFor consultations
Private consultations through Vejon Consultive for complex, unresolved health patterns. Designed to help you understand your own pattern and communicate more effectively with your usual healthcare providers — not to diagnose, treat or cure.

Foundations
Original investigation into spike protein autoimmunity, viral persistence, macrophage biology and the intersection of virology with chronic disease.
Structured courses and talks that translate mechanism into practical understanding for practitioners and patients alike.
One-to-one interpretation and programme support for individual health situations, delivered through Vejon Consultive.

OpenIn development
An assistant built on Dr McMillan's published research and educational material, designed to help you locate the right resource, understand the mechanism relevant to your situation, and identify a sensible next step. It will not diagnose, prescribe or replace clinical care.
Common questions
Begin with the free structured assessment on the patient pathway above. It is designed to help you describe and organise what has changed, so that the pattern becomes visible. From there you can move into the educational material, or — if the picture is complex and unresolved — consider a private consultation through Vejon Consultive.
Vejon Health is the public education arm: accessible explanations, assessments and free resources. McMillan Research is the evidence arm: peer-reviewed publications, population-level data analysis and mechanistic interpretation. Vejon Consultive is the clinical arm: private one-to-one interpretation of complex health patterns. This site, drphilipmcmillan.com, is the personal anchor that connects them.
A mechanism-first way of understanding how immune dysregulation, persistent inflammation, endothelial involvement and gut–immune interactions may connect across many apparently unrelated conditions. It is a way of interpreting evidence as it arrives, not a fixed claim about any individual disease.
Some are. The practitioner modules assume working clinical knowledge, while the patient-facing courses are written for intelligent non-specialists. Each course page states which audience it is built for before you enrol.
Consultations through Vejon Consultive are interpretation services, not a substitute for primary care. They are intended for people with complex or poorly explained health patterns who want help understanding what may be happening and how to discuss it with their own clinicians. Availability varies — check the Vejon Consultive site for current status.

If you are here about your own health, start with the free assessment. If you are here for the science, start with the research. Both are free.
