Upon arriving home from his tour of duty in Vietnam as a Hospital Corpsman, Doug found himself sick with multiple symptoms that were unable to be remedied by conventional therapies.  Without the relief of modern medicine, Doug began educating himself on the importance of diet, exercise, supplementation and sensible living and, in time, was able to reverse all of his symptoms.

His work, spanning almost 40 years in allergy, dermatology, and mycology, has led him to write a series of books and develop diet that could stop the progression of certain germs that cause much illness.
