About the Authors

A Harvard University and University of Michigan graduate, Dr. Jonathan Wright is a fore-runner in research and application of natural treatments for healthy aging and illness. Along with Alan Gaby, MD, he has since 1976 accumulated a file of over 50,000 research papers about diet, vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other natural substances from which he has developed all-natural treatments for health problems. Since 1983, Drs. Wright and Gaby have regularly taught seminars about these methods to tens of thousands of physicians in the United States and overseas.

He was the first to develop and introduce the use of comprehensive patterns of bio-identical hormones (including estrogens, progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone) in 1982 and (at Meridian Valley Laboratory) directed the development of tests to ensure their safe use. He teaches use and laboratory monitoring of bio-identical hormones at several seminars each year.

He also originated successful natural treatment for elimination of childhood asthma, popularized the use of D-mannose treatment for E. coli urinary tract infection, developed effective natural treatment for seborrheic dermatitis, allergic and viral conjunctivitis, and Osgood-Schlatters disease, and discovered the effect of cobalt and iodine on estrogen and other steroid detoxification.

Dr. Wright founded the Tahoma Clinic (1973), Meridian Valley Laboratory (1976), and the Tahoma Clinic Foundation (1996). Tahoma Clinic was established to prevent and treat disease and help us stay healthy and live longer with the use of natural substances and natural energies. The infamous 1992 FDA Tahoma Clinic raid (The Great B-Vitamin Bust) was a major impetus for Congressional reform of vitamin/mineral regulation. Dr. Wright continues to be an advocate for patient freedom of choice in healthcare.

Internationally known for his books and medical articles, Dr. Wright has authored or coauthored 11 books, selling over 1.5 million copies, with two texts achieving best-selling status: Book of Nutritional Therapy and Guide to Healing with Nutrition. He authors Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter emphasizing nutritional medicine that reaches over 100,000 in the United States and another 7,000 or more worldwide.

Linda Larsen is an author and journalist who has written 26 books, many of which are about food and nutrition. She earned a BA degree in Biology from St. Olaf College and a BS with High Distinction in Food Science and Nutrition from the University of Minnesota.

Linda worked for the Pillsbury Company for many years, creating and testing recipes. She was a member of the Pillsbury Bake-Off staff five times, acting as Manager of the Search Team and working in the test kitchens. Linda is the Busy Cooks Guide for About.com and writes about food, recipes, and nutrition. She has written articles for Womans Day magazine, Quick and Simple magazine, and First magazine.

Dedication

From Dr. Wright: For Holly, my wife and very best friend.

From Linda: I dedicate this book first and foremost to my husband Doug. Throughout the last 30 years, weve had many adventures in food. Good food got us through a cancer diagnosis (he gained 70 pounds on chemotherapy with my cooking!), and weve turned to a clean diet in the last year. Through it all, hes been by my side and is my biggest cheerleader and confidant. Id also like to dedicate the book to my parents, Duane and Marlene Johnson, for their support and encouragement. They always told me I could do anything I attempted and let me cook and bake anything I wanted to.
