Early life and education

Career

Gillman was the CEO of the S.A. Brain Research Institute from 1982 to 2013, when he retired. He was also an adviser on substance abuse to Governments in South Africa, the USA, China, and Israel.[6]

Over the years, Gillman has published over 300 papers along with five full-length books and a best-selling electronic presentation-textbook on the technique of conscious sedation with nitrous oxide.[7] [8]

As a renowned scholar, Gillman has lectured at several institutions such as the University of Witwatersrand, Medunsa, Hadassah Medical Schools in Jerusalem and Albert Einstein University Medical School in New York. He has addressed over 250 academic and lay audiences on conscious sedation with nitrous oxide and stress management both locally and internationally.[9]

Gillman has been featured in several media outlets, news channels, and such as BBC, and academic journals like Lancet, BMJ, International Journal of Neuroscience, Biological Psychiatry, and others.[10]

Gillman, along with his colleagues at the S.A. Brain Research Institute, discovered the new principle of biology called Gaseous neurotransmission.[11]

He was also an integral member of the team that first proved the first biological link in continuum linking pain and pleasure that was first postulated by Aristotle, followed by Descartes and Spinoza.[12]

Gillman also led a team that helped to uncover endorphin links to human sexual response, anorexia nervosa, Tourette syndrome, and a treatment for substance abuse with nitrous oxide sedation used in South Africa and Scandinavia.[13] Gillman, along with Lichtigfeld, also discovered a new treatment for substance abuse with N2O sedation that was first used in SABRI and later in Europe, the USA, and China.[14]
