Dr. Paul Niehans’ “Cell Rejuvenation” Therapy

Dr. Paul Niehans’ first used “cell ther-apy” in the 1920s. A few of his first

treatments were given to individuals who were not growing as tall as any-one else in their families. (At the time, they were termed “dwarfs”; today the “PC” term is “growth challenged.”) Even though “human growth hormone” (“HGH”) had not yet been molecularly identified, it was known that “something in the pituitary gland” helped us all to grow. Dr. Niehans transplanted embry-onic animal pituitary cells to young hu-man dwarves and found that it helped them grow up to 13 more inches. He also used posterior pituitary cells to treat some cases of unusual thirst due to uncontrollably excessive urination. (It’s actually a condition called “diabetes insipidus” which has absolutely nothing at all to do with “diabetes mellitus.” The Greek word “diabetes” indeed means “way too much urination,” the ONLY symptom shared by these two other-wise entirely different problems.) The embryonic cell therapy caused all the symptoms to disappear entirely. When he treated arthritis patients with adre-nal cells, once again, the cell therapy led to significant improvement and relief.

One of Dr. Niehans’ most prominent cases occurred in the early 1930s when a woman who’d just had a very large goiter (very enlarged thyroid gland) removed was referred to him. Unfortunately, the surgeon who removed her goiter had unintentionally also removed all of her

parathyroid glands, too, a “surgical acci-dent” which at that time led inevitably to death, as without parathyroid glands—which regulate blood levels of calcium—we all die within days to weeks.

Parathyroid glands are very small and (by Nature) embedded in thyroid glands—which is of course where their name originates—and removing a goi-ter without removing the parathyroid glands is a definite “surgical challenge.” (An unrelated to “cell therapy” fact: One major reason the Mayo clinic attracted goiter patients from all over the Ameri-can midwest—the “goiter belt” of these United States in the 1800s and early 1900s—was the Mayo brothers ability to remove goiters without removing the parathyroid glands at the same time!)

But back to Dr. Niehans’ patient. Since the most important function of the para-thyroid glands is to regulate calcium lev-els in the blood, she was really in trouble. Her blood calcium dropped rapidly to very low levels, which caused uncon-trolled weakness and muscle spasms. Ordinarily (in the 1930s), the death rate from this condition was 100 percent.

To treat her, Dr. Niehans extracted parathyroid cells from an animal and injected them into one of the patient’s pectoral muscles. Within hours, she stopped spasming and got stronger. Her blood calcium rose to normal, she had no further calcium problems, and she lived well into her 80s.

OUR PURPOSE Green Medicine Newsletter is dedicated to

helping you keep yourself and your family healthy by the safest and most effective means possible. Every month, you'll get information about diet, vitamins, minerals, herbs, natural hormones, natural energies, and other substances and tech-niques to prevent and heal illness, while prolong-ing your healthy life span.

A graduate of Harvard University and the Uni-versity of Michigan Medical School (1969), Dr. Jonathan V. Wright has been practicing natural and nutritional medicine since 1973 at the Ta-homa Clinic, now in Tukwila, Washington. Based on enormous volumes of library and clinical re-search, along with tens of thousands of clinical consultations, he is exceptionally well qualified to bring you a unique blending of the most up-to-date information and the best and still most ef-fective natural therapies developed by preceding generations.

In 1992, Dr. Wright was among the original founders of the American Preventive Medical As-sociation—now known as the Alliance for Natural Health USA—which was created to defend inte-grative doctors from relentless and coordinated attacks from the conventional medical establish-ment and the government agencies that protect them. Now one of the leading voices in natural health policy, the Alliance for Natural Health USA continues this mission by organizing half a million grassroots activists to protect access to natural, preventive medicine.

Dr. Wright works to empower consumers to exercise their inalienable rights to choose their own healthcare, and to warn the public of con-tinual, pervasive attempts from both government and private organizations to restrict them.

Although this case is often cited as the “beginning of cell therapy,” Dr. Niehans had been working with the technique (remember the “growth chal-lenged” individuals) since 1927. For the first few years, he used cells from cow glands and tissues. As his work pro-gressed, he switched to sheep cells, in part because sheep rarely develop can-cer, and that would add an additional level of safety to the therapy. He also starting using only cells from sheep embryos, since embryonic cells of any species don’t cause immune reactions when they are transplanted.

Originally, Dr. Niehans used only “fresh cells,” taken directly from an animal or animal embryo. At first, he surgically transplanted them but later he developed a soluble and injectable form. But this method wasn’t always practical since fresh cells need to be used right away. So he worked with the Nestle company (yes, that Nes-tle company) to develop a method of freeze-drying cells so that they could be stored indefinitely for later use.

Dr. Niehans also developed “cellular rejuvenation therapy,” which—instead of whole, live embryonic animal cells—used the contents of embryonic animal cells to rejuvenate the functions of organs in humans. In the 1970s, searching for ad-ditional help for two women suffering from chronically weak adrenal glands, we found references to Dr. Niehans’ work, which at that time was only avail-able in Europe. Both went there for treat-ment, and (starting several weeks later) felt considerably better, reporting being able to “get much more done” without getting as tired as they did usually. Each woman had been advised that as their treatments were embryonic cell contents and not whole live embryonic adrenal cells (which cost considerably more) that they would likely need the same treat-

ments every three to four years to con-tinue feeling better.

As simple and effective as it is, you probably haven’t heard of cell therapy for the same reason you haven’t heard of so many other natural therapies: our “public servants” in Washington DC. Un-til Congress passed the Dietary Supple-ment Health Education Act (“DSHEA”) in 1994, our “public servants” made it impossible for “free” American citizens to get cell therapy in the USA at all. (Of course, an American could go to Swit-zerland for the treatment.) When the DSHEA law passed, cell therapy treat-ments finally became possible in the USA, but you still don’t hear or read any advertisements about it. Unlike all those patent medicine advertisements you’re bombarded with every time you turn on the TV, our “public servants” somehow have been allowed by the Congress of our “free country” to prohibit manu-facturers and suppliers of all-natural products—including cell therapy prod-ucts—from advertising the truth about what their products may do to treat any illness or disease. But those of us who use these treatments in our practic-es—as well as the very large majority of those receiving the treatments—can tell you the truth about their benefits. Next are three reports about Tahoma Clinic patients who all underwent cell thera-py treatment in the 1990s, and another from just a few years ago.

CASE REPORTS

Mr. Thomas didn’t actually have any specific health problems he needed help with. His main concern was what he called “the dwindles.” He told me that he’d expected the glasses and the hearing aid; his father had had those, too. But he said he didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be able to chop wood or go for a long walk without getting out of breath. He didn’t appreciate needing naps in the daytime; even at 83, he felt he had “too much still to do in life.”

He’d been to the “regular” doctor, who gave him an examination, blood tests, and a treadmill EKG, and told him he was “in fine shape for his age.” He’d also been to an “alternative medicine” doctor, who found he needed hydro-chloric acid-pepsin with meals and di-gestive enzymes after meals, put him on replacement bio-identical testoster-one, and helped him with his supple-ment program. He felt better, needed fewer naps, but there was still some-thing missing.

We checked his levels for amino ac-ids and minerals and found them still low despite the progress he’d made with his other natural therapies. So he took the series of mineral and amino acid IVs we’ve used at Tahoma Clinic for over 40 years for individuals with poor digestion and/or poor absorption of nutrients; he reported he definitely no-ticed an improvement. But he was still upset that he couldn’t do “near what my father could at 83.”

So we reviewed Dr. Niehans’ cellu-lar rejuvenation therapy, including the cost, which can be $1,000 or less for a program directed at improvement of a few organs or tissues, and as high as $3,000 to $6,000 or occasionally more, depending on how comprehensive the treatment program is. “Whole body” cellular rejuvenation is the most expen-sive. Of course there are no guarantees of effectiveness, however, since 1995 at

Tahoma Clinic, everyone treated with Dr. Niehans cellular rejuvenation ther-apy has reported at least a noticeable degree of improvement, with many ex-periencing much better than “notable” effects.

One of Mr. Thomas’ primary con-cerns was how long the improvement would last. According to the originator of cell therapy, Dr. Paul Niehans of Swit-zerland, cellular rejuvenation therapy might need to be repeated every three to five years to maintain its effects. He thought for a minute, and then said “I’m 83, without my health what good is my money? Let’s go for the “total body” program!

He took a series of cell rejuvenation therapy injections over three weeks. He started to feel a little better after a month, but things really “took off” the third and fourth months after his first injection. He could chop all the wood he wanted, go for long walks without “get-ting winded,” and “do everything else Dad did at this age, and then some.”

CASE 2Mrs. Winters came in at the urging

of her son and daughter. They’d seen the effect of cell therapy in a relative who had gone to Switzerland twice for it before it became available in the U.S. They said she’d come back looking 10-15 years younger, and they hoped it would do the same for their mom now that it was available in the U.S.

Like Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Winters had also seen a series of “regular” medical doctors and “alternative medicine” doc-tors and was being treated for diabetes and a mild form of congestive heart fail-ure. She was taking a not-overly-long list of patent medications and a longer, but very appropriate, list of supplements. At 78, her digestive function tested very close to normal (which is unusual for that age) and other tests weren’t far off.

Over the next three weeks, Mrs. Win-

ters took a comprehensive cell therapy program, with additional emphasis on heart and blood vessels. She started to feel better in about a month and found she could walk further and further with-out getting out of breath. When she went to visit some relatives in California a few months later, she was also told that she looked 15 years younger.

CASE 3One of the youngest patients to re-

ceive cell therapy at the Tahoma Clinic in the 1990s was Ms. Quinton. She was 33 but was so tired she “couldn’t get out of bed without getting dizzy,” and couldn’t exercise because the activi-ty made her feel worse, not better. At 5 feet 7 inches, she weighed only 122 pounds, and her blood was pressure 95/55 lying down. When she stood up, it dropped even further. Although she was a classic picture of weak adrenal function, she’d been told by several “regular” medical doctors that it was “all in her head.” She knew it wasn’t, so she decided to try alternative medicine for the first time.

She started with testing adrenal function with the 24-hour urine collec-tion test, the most accurate laborato-ry test for over-all adrenal function. It showed that her adrenal glands made less cortisone and cortisol than normal when they weren’t stressed, and even less when they were. Considering her symptoms, this made perfect sense.

She was surprised that one of the recommendations for improving adre-nal weakness (but not for those with strong adrenal function) was “add salt to everything your taste can stand.” Salt gets a bad reputation because it can raise blood pressure—but that’s a good thing with weak adrenals. The clinic nutritionist also recommended that she follow a high-complex carbo-hydrate diet, which is best for weak ad-




renal glands. In addition, she also start-ed taking vitamins, minerals, and herbs to support and improve her adrenal function even more. I also suggested giving her small, physiologic doses of bio-identical cortisol, but she said she’d heard too many horror stories about cortisone, and decided against it.

Even without the cortisol, over the next few months her blood pressure rose to an average 102/60, she was less dizzy when she stood up rapidly, and she could get more done before becoming too tired to go on. Her fol-low-up adrenal test was closer to nor-mal—but still on the low side. I men-tioned bio-identical cortisol again but she was still wary and wanted to find a way to get her own adrenal glands to repair themselves.

This is exactly the sort of health problem for which “targeted” cellular rejuvenation therapy can be effective: helping our bodies to repair one or a few weak, under-functioning organs or tissues. She considered taking the relevant cell rejuvenation injections:

mostly adrenal, with some pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid, ovary, and a smaller percentage of placental cellular rejuvenation (Dr. Niehans taught that a small amount of placental cell contents improves the function of all other cel-lular rejuvenation therapies). She said she felt more comfortable with that option—trying to give her body the materials to repair itself, rather than taking a replacement hormone, even a bio-identical one such as cortisol.

Over the next month, she took the recommended series of cell injections. She started to feel better after the first week, definitely faster than usual. By the time she was finished with her in-jections, her dizziness was completely gone, her blood pressure was up to 110/65, and she decided to go back to work. She continued her excellent diet with added salt, and all her adre-nal-support vitamins, minerals, and herbs. By the end of the year, she’d gained 8 pounds, and said she felt just fine.

CASE 4Less than a decade ago, an older

man came to Tahoma Clinic along with his son. He not only appeared “older”

but also quite fatigued; his son did most of the explanations. His father had been diagnosed with bone mar-row failure of unknown origin. All of the circulating blood components orig-inating in bone marrow—red blood cells, white blood cells of all kinds, and platelets—were so low that his father had been given blood transfusions ev-ery week or two for nearly a year just to keep him alive. He and his father wanted to know if there was anything at all that might help his bone marrow perform better.

We reviewed cellular rejuvenation therapy, with of course focus on bone marrow. Although a review of the fa-ther’s health history and his physical exam made obvious that he had more than just bone marrow failure prob-lems, he and his son decided for finan-cial reasons to focus cellular rejuvena-tion on the bone marrow, and perhaps add in other treatment later.

He never returned to Tahoma Clin-ic. Over a year later, his son came in about his own health. Before we start-ed reviewing his own health concerns, he told me about his father. He ex-plained that within just a few weeks of his first and only visit to Tahoma Clinic his father’s need for blood trans-fusions had diminished, and by six months he’d been able to stop them altogether and return to the coun-try from which he had immigrated to these United States. His son explained that his father had decided that he was “old enough to die,” and wanted to do that in his country of birth.

Even there, he’d needed only one blood transfusion in the many months he was alive there, and ultimately died from causes unrelated to the bone marrow problem which had been greatly improved by Dr. Niehans cellu-lar rejuvenation therapy. ●

Are Herbs Useful For Chronic Pain?BY KERRY BONE

T he human nervous system is what makes us special. But our great-

est strength also makes us vulnera-ble: witness the growing incidence of chronic addictions, anxiety, depres-sion, sleep disorders and chronic pain syndromes. Many people suffering these problems feel the need to resort to pharmaceutical drugs, but the side effects of these often outweigh the benefits.

When it comes to needing support for pain from a pharmacological treatment, should it just be a choice of a heavy drug or nothing at all? What if there was a credible third option using herbs, based on either clinical evidence or long traditional use: one that will not impair performance and allows us to work through our adversity?

This might sound too good to be true. Aren’t herbs too gentle to effectively address these serious challenges? In this article, I would like to explore the surprising strength of plants as a credible third option for pain and discomfort from a variety of health problems. They may not always work, but in my experience are certainly worth trying.

Historically, herbs have always been used for pain: opium and aconite are some key examples. These are powerful and potentially dangerous herbs and their therapeutic use is generally highly controlled. But both recent research and traditional use suggest that milder herbs can also play a valuable role, keeping in mind that the control of pain is only one aspect of any treatment; and the goal of a good herbal intervention is to treat and alleviate the cause of the pain wherever possible.

From a functional perspective, rather than a strict medical classification, there are four key sources of pain:• Inflammatory pain largely

associated with tissue injury, often involving prostaglandin generation, such as osteoarthritis and sports injuries.

• Inflammatory pain generated by autoimmunity and auto- inflammation, for example rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

• Pain due to muscular tension and/or spasm, including such problems as dysmenorrhea and tension headaches.

• Pain due to nerve interference (pressure, impingement), neuralgia, or nervous debility including central effects such as “wind-up syndrome,” sciatica, cancer pain, and the pain associated with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

The conventional drugs used for each of these categories are largely as follows:• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

drugs (NSAIDs).

• Corticosteroid drugs.

• Antispasmodic drugs.

• A variety of drugs including opiates, anticonvulsants and even tricyclic antidepressants.

There are a number of herbs that are used in corresponding way for these pain/discomfort categories. This does not mean that such herbs act in an identical (or even similar) way to the

drugs listed in the categories, although sometimes they do, for example antispasmodic herbs such as Corydalis and cramp bark. Here are some key examples:• Inflammatory pain: Boswellia,

willow bark, ginger, turmeric, celery.

• Autoimmunity: Rehmannia, turmeric, Bupleurum, feverfew.

• Spasm pain: kava, Corydalis, cramp bark, wild yam, Californian poppy.

• Neuralgic pain: St John’s wort, Californian poppy, Corydalis, Jamaica dogwood.

The herbs in categories 1 to 3 have been well-described, so in this article the focus will be on the herbs listed in category 4, starting with Eschscholt-zia californica (Californian poppy.) This herb is a member of the poppy family and contains some typical alkaloids of this family. But the main alkaloids cali-fornidine and eschscholtzine are fairly unique to this species. According to Da-vis (of Parke-Davis), in the 1890s it was: “an excellent soporific and analgesic, above all harmless” and “the effect pro-duced…is the same as morphine…” The Eclectic physicians regarded Californian poppy as a “valuable” analgesic and mild sedative for “quieting pain and produc-ing calm sleep.”1 It was applied for these activities in patients when the use of a strong narcotic was inadvisable,2 and “without the dangers attending opi-ates.”1 Regular and prolonged use was reported not to be addictive or to impair mental functioning. 2

Corydalis tuber (Corydalis ambigua) is commonly used in Chinese medicine for pain relief, especially organ pain. It




contains around 20 alkaloids, but the most potent analgesic is tetrahydropal-matine (THP). The analgesic potency of the herb is 1 to 10% of opium, depend-ing on the study. THP does not interact with opioid receptors and appears to in-teract with the dopaminergic system (as a dopamine antagonist). Clinical studies on THP have demonstrated analgesic effects in neuralgia, dysmenorrhea and headaches.3 THP at 120 mg/day reduced withdrawal symptoms in a trial involving 120 heroin addicts.4 The dopamine an-tagonism of THP is leading to its ongo-ing investigation as a support to reduce craving in addiction. Use of extracts of the whole Corydalis tuber does require repeated and high doses for analgesic effects.

The bark of Jamaica dogwood (Piscidia piscipula) has been used traditionally in Western herbalism as an analgesic, sedative and antispasmodic. Traditional indications include:5,6,7,8

• Insomnia, particularly when due to neuralgia or nervous tension, or when prolonged.

• Restlessness.

• Neuralgia, particularly sciatica; neuralgia associated with the kidneys, abdomen, ovaries, trigeminal nerve and eyes.

• Migraine; dysmenorrhea.

• Mild relief of abdominal, renal or gall bladder pain.

• Muscle spasm, rheumatism, toothache, earache, painful affections of the eye, pain associated with fracture.

• Whooping cough, to relieve spasm of asthma.

In addition to its well-known evi-dence-based use for depression, St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is traditionally used for neuralgic pain. In my clinical experience it can work well in higher doses in certain patients with, for example, sciatica or trigeminal neu-ralgia. There is not much to go on here from clinical studies. However, while a randomized, double-blind, placebo-con-trolled trial in 54 patients reported no significant overall effect on the pain of polyneuropathy, there was a good trend towards a lower total pain score with the group receiving St John’s wort. Also rele-vant here was the dose, which was only 900 mg of 6:1 extract per day. (For neu-ralgic pain I tend to recommend 1200 to 1800 mg/day of such an extract). In addition, complete to moderate pain re-lief was in fact experienced by 9 patients taking St John’s wort, compared to just 2 on placebo (p=0.07).9

All these herbs can be a useful third option for the types of pain described under category 4 above. They may need to be used in high or repeated doses, but in my clinical experience are safe and surprisingly effective, with beneficial effects in pain relief seen in cases of recurrent tension headache, trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, interstitial cystitis and FMS, to name a few examples.

“Approved” Hormone Therapy For Women Is Mostly Not Bio-Identical, Is “One-Size-Fits-All,”

And Not Safe For Use

The September 24th issue of the Journal of the American Medical

Association (“JAMA”) reprinted1 an arti-cle originally published in The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics which told us about the latest “hormone” therapy “approved” by our “public ser-vants” in Washington DC. The article tells us: “Bijuva® is supplied in capsules containing 1 mg of estradiol and 100 mg of progesterone. The recommended dos-age is 1 capsule every evening with food. The oral fixed-dose combination….”

Bujiva® is bio-identical (estradiol, progesterone) and “approved,” but not at all safe to use for two reasons (at least one of which should be known by now to those who do the “approving”). This reason is even mentioned—but not at all emphasized—in the JAMA arti-cle, which states: “In the Women’s Health Initiative trials, which randomized post-menopausal women to oral conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) with or without a progestin or to placebo, the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) [blood clots] was significantly higher with hormone therapy.” It’s now well-known to even conventional medical physicians that orally ingested estrogens raise the risk of “venous thromboembolism” (blood clots!), and that topically applied estro-gens do not! Even this JAMA article tells us: “In a case-control study, transdermal hormone replacement therapy was not associated with an increased risk of VTE.” Apparently our “public servants” either don’t know these facts—or don’t care!

That’s not the only unsafe aspect of “Bujiva®.” The only estrogen it contains is estradiol. Anyone who reads medical journals knows that from the 1960s through the 1980s, Dr. Henry Lemon

established (and was never disputed) that estriol (one of three “major” es-trogens) is anti-carcinogenic, and that women whose bodies have more estri-ol than estradiol and estrone combined are at much less risk of breast cancer and other “estrogen-related” cancer. Apparently our “public servants” have chosen to ignore this well-researched fact, “approving” the use of estradiol alone, which carries with it a higher es-trogen-related cancer risk!

“Bujiva®” is also “one-size-fits-all.” From the JAMA article: “Bijuva is sup-plied in capsules containing 1 milligram of estradiol and 100 milligrams of pro-gesterone. The recommended dosage is 1 capsule every evening with food.” Don’t we all know that all women are exactly the same, and all of them will do best when using exactly the same dosage of estradiol as all other women? DUH!

What about taking “Bujiva®” “every day”? Apparently those who do the “approving” appear not to be aware of the report2 about 133,744 women using varying hormone replacement therapies for a median of 8.6 years. The report told us: “Continuous com-bined regimens [taken every day with no monthly pause] conferred a 43% (95% CI: 19-72%) greater risk com-pared with sequential regimens.” Apparently, those who do the “ap-proving” don’t mind a 43% increase in breast cancer risk from an “approved” hormone product taken according to instructions, or they haven’t read this study. Even without a research study, it should be obvious that women’s hormones “take a break” every month from menarche to menopause!

The JAMA article lists twenty-three

other “approved hormone” products. As none (zero!) of the twenty-three contain estriol, none are as safe as compounded BHRT. Three of the “es-trogens” are not bio-identical, one of these is actually horse estrogen! Eight of the “progesterone” containing prod-ucts aren’t at all identical to human pro-gesterone. Sixteen of the “approved” products expose women to non-stop daily use. And nine “approved” hor-mones are “one-size-fits-all.”

Real bio-identical hormone re-placement (BHRT)—the compounded version which our “public servants” are trying to eliminate—contains only hormone molecules identical to hu-man hormones (“bio-identical hor-mones”). All compounded estrogens contain estriol, which keeps the thera-py much safer. All BHRT progesterone is exactly identical (bio-identical) to what’s found in women’s bodies. Real BHRT “copies nature” with a two to four day “break” every month, which also keeps real BHRT much safer. Compounded BHRT recognizes that women are different—including their hormone patterns—so there’s never any “one-size-fits-all” prescribing.

“The Secret To Eternal Youth,” Rejuvenation Through Dr. Niehans’ Cell Therapy

By Peter M. Steffan

A book describing Dr. Paul Niehans’ cell therapy is available for sub-

scribers to download at the following link: https://greenmedicinenewsletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/TheSecretofEternalYouth.pdf

Cell therapy is a subject which is still, to some extent, cloaked in mystery. But despite the lack of public knowledge about cell therapy, many celebrities have found and utilized the treatment made famous by the controversial Swiss doc-tor Dr. Paul Niehans, including Somerset Maugham, Gloria Swanson, artist Georg-es Braque, King Ibu Saud, Charlie Chap-lin, Pope Pius XII, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Konrad Adenauer and many other prominent international figures.

Author Peter M. Steffan writes in The Secret to Eternal Youth, Rejuvena-

tion through Dr. Niehans’ Cell Therapy: “…these living units of energy set

up a chain reaction of cell reproduc-tion where the worn-out or diseased human cells are no longer capable of splitting and multiplying for them-selves, and the tired, used-up tissue is gently rebuilt, revitalized and restored to normal function by the biological-ly regeneration process which starts with the cell.”

It is hoped that this book provides enough information to enable enquir-ing and intelligent individuals to seek additional scientific information about this therapy and also perhaps to an-swer for themselves the question: Could this therapy do something for me?

NATURAL HEALTH CARE RESOURCESAbout Dr. Jonathan V. Wright

Dr. Wright established Tahoma Clinic in 1973 in Washington State to offer nutritional and other natural therapies for common health condi-tions instead of patent medications.

A long-time researcher, author, speaker, and clinician, he has educated physicians in his techniques since 1983. Dubbed the “Father of Bio-Iden-tical Hormones” by his peers, Dr. Wright was the first physician in the United States to prescribe comprehen-sive hormone replacement therapy (in the early 1980s) with hormones identi-cal to those found in nature. This ther-apy (shortened to “BHRT”) is now used nationwide by millions.

Also an author, he has written 13 books (with two texts achieving best-selling status), numerous medical articles, monthly magazine columns from 1976 to 2000, and since 1994 has written a popular monthly newsletter on natural health topics.SUBSCRIBE NOW: 1-800-528-0559
