William Campbell Douglass II, MD
The following is taken from his website - not everyone supports
his views!
Dr. Douglass came from a distinguished family of physicians. He was the third generation Douglass to practice medicine, and his son (William Campbell Douglass III) is also a physician. Dr. Douglass II graduated from the University of Rochester, the University of Miami School of Medicine, and the Naval School of Aviation and Space Medicine.
Dr. Douglass revealed medical truths and deceptions, often at risk of being labeled heretical. He was consumed by a passion for living a long, healthy life, and wanted his readers to share that passion. He was anti-dogmatic and unwavering in his dedication to improving the quality of life of his readers. He has been called “the conscience of modern medicine,” a “medical maverick,” and his medical experiences are far reaching-from battling malaria in Central America – to fighting deadly epidemics at a health clinic in Africa – to flying with U.S. Navy crews as a flight surgeon – to working for 10 years in emergency medicine in the United States.
This dedicated physician repeatedly went beyond the call of duty in his work to spread the truth about integrating the best science-based medical therapies from all medical disciplines (“alternative medicine”). For a full year, he endured economic and physical hardship to work with physicians at the Pasteur Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, where research on ultraviolet blood irradiation (“photoluminescence”) was being conducted.
These learning experiences and his keen storytelling ability and wit made Dr. Douglass’ numerous books and his newsletters – The Douglass Report and Daily Dose – uniquely interesting and fun to read. He shared his no-frills, “no-bull” approach to health care, often amazing his readers by telling them to ignore many widely-hyped good-health practices (like staying away from red meat, avoiding coffee, and eating like a bird), and start living again by eating REAL food, taking some inexpensive supplements, and doing the pleasurable things that make life livable.
Readers of Dr. Douglass´ books and newsletters got all this, plus they learned how to burn fat, prevent heart disease and cancer, boost libido, and so much more. And Dr. Douglass was not afraid to debunk the latest fake research reports funded by Big Pharma. He led a colorful, rebellious, and crusading life! Not many physicians would dare put their professional reputations on the line as many times as this courageous healer did. A vocal opponent of “business-as-usual” medicine, Dr. Douglass championed patients’ rights and physician commitment to wellness throughout his career.
Note: Dr. Douglass II died on Aug. 23, 2015.
