QUESTION-WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND AND HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN NUTRITION?

I WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE MIDWEST.  I STARTED OUT AS A CERTIFIED CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, AND GENERAL SCIENCE TEACHER.  LATER, I WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK AND GOT A SPECIALIST IN AGING CERTIFICATE AT THE MICHIGAN INSTITUTE OF GERONTOLOGY.  I ALSO STUDIED AT THE MICHIGAN SOCIAL POLICY INSTITUTE.  I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN NATURAL HEALTH CARE AND HAVE A RESEARCH BACKGROUND.  MY IDEAS ON NATURAL HEALTH CARE WERE INFLUENCED BY THE 7 YEARS I LIVED IN LOS ANGELES (1986-1992) WHERE PEOPLE ARE MORE LIBERAL ABOUT THESE THINGS.

QUESTION-WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO USE THE TITLE, "DOCTOR"?

ANYONE WHO IS REGISTERED WITH THE WASHINGTON D.C. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AS A NATUROPATH IS PERMITTED TO USE THE TITLE "DOCTOR OF NATUROPATHY"-ANYONE WHO IS CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION-(ALSO IN WASHINGTON D.C.) CAN ALSO USE THE TITLE  "DOCTOR OF NATUROPATHY"_ THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO N.D. DESIGNATIONS RECOGNIZED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  ALL OTHER N.D. DESIGNATIONS ARE STATE TITLES. (I HELD A NATUROPATH OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND AM ELIGIBLE FOR A NATUROPATH LICENSE IN IDAHO). I AM ALSO AN HONORARY DOCTOR OF DIVINITY IN THE UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH (AS WELL AS A MINISTER AND HEALING MINISTER)-INTERDENOMINATIONAL- I AM AFFILIATED WITH THE UNIVERSAL UNITARIANS, ONE OF THE OLDEST RELIGIOUS ORDERS IN THE UNITED STATES, DATING BACK TO THE PURITANS.  I WAS ALSO GRANTED A BAPTIST MINISTERS ORDINATION IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY BY A MISSIONARY GROUP IN RECOGNITION OF MY WORK. I AM CURRENTLY LICENSED IN TEXAS AS A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER

QUESTION-DOES RELIGION HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WORK?

EARLY WHEN I STARTED THIS WORK I NOTICED THAT I WAS GETTING MY MOST POSITIVE REACTION FROM CHURCH GROUPS AND WAS FREQUENTLY MENTIONED ON CHURCH RADIO.  THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE HEALING THERAPIES I PRACTICE ARE CONSISTENT WITH BIBLICAL PHILOSOPHY (HEALING THROUGH THE MIND, HERBS, FOOD SUBSTANCES, AND SOMETIMES THE LAYING ON OF HANDS).

WHAT ARE YOUR RESEARCH SOURCES?

 THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.  SOME OF MY FAVORITES ARE MONOGRAPHS OF THE GERMAN E COMMISSION, THE CLINICAL PEARLS RESEARCH DATABASE RUNNING FROM 1989 UNTIL THE PRESENT, AND THE FOLLOWING BOOKS/DATABASES BY MELVYN WERBACH M.D. (PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE U.C.L.A. MEDICAL SCHOOL)- NUTRITIONAL INFLUENCES ON ILLNESS, BOTANICAL INFLUENCES ON ILLNESS, NUTRITIONAL INFLUENCES ON MENTAL ILLNESS, CASEBOOK OF NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE, AND TEXTBOOK OF NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE. I USE KERRY BONE'S BOOK, PHYTOSYNERGISTIC PRESCRIBING, WHICH GIVES GUIDELINES FOR USING FLUID HERBAL EXTRACTS FROM HIS COMPANY, MEDIHERB.  I ALSO USE DATABASES/MANUALS BASED ON EXTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FROM THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES PROGRESSIVE LABS, BIOTICS RESEARCH OF TEXAS, STANDARD PROCESS, AND PROFESSIONAL BOTANICALS. I HAVE ACCESS TO THOUSANDS OF MEDICALLY CONTROLLED PRODUCTS WHICH I CAN SUPPLY FOR THESE STUDIES.  MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SMALL THEY HOLD UP WELL.

I ADMIT THAT IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP WITH OVER 11,000,000 CONTROLLED STUDIES BY MEDICAL DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE NO FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE NATURAL MEDICINES THEY TEST, WORKING WITH PRODUCTS THAT ARE SAFER THAN THE FOOD WE EAT, BUT I DO MY BEST.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT ON HOMEOPATHY?

I DO HOMEOPATHIC CONSULTS. 

HOMEOPATHY IS A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.  IN ENGLAND HOMEOPATHS ARE REGISTERED WITH THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY HAS ALWAYS HAD THEIR OWN PERSONAL HOMEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN.  I BELIEVE THAT THE QUEEN MOTHER RECENTLY WAS OVER 100 WHEN SHE DIED WHICH SPEAKS WELL FOR THIS SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.  IN INDIA THERE ARE 185 HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGES AND ALSO 185 ALLOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGES. IN PAKISTAN THERE ARE OVER 14,000 REGISTERED HOMEOPATHS. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS RECENTLY CONFIRMED THE BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF HOMEOPATHIC PRODUCTS. I WAS ASKED RECENTLY BY A PAKISTANI COUPLE," HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO FIRST?"  MY ANSWER WAS I CAN ALMOST ALWAYS TRY HOMEOPATHY FIRST IF YOU SO DESIRE AND LOOK AT OTHER THINGS LATER IF IT IS APPROPRIATE..  ONE CONDITION THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT RESPONDS VERY WELL TO HOMEOPATHY IS PAIN CAUSED BY TRAUMA TO THE BACK SUCH AS AN ACCIDENT.
