About Bradford Weeks
BRADFORD WEEKS, M.D. worked for two years doing research at Massachusetts General Hospitalâs Mineral Metabolism Unit working on Osteoporosis (calcium, magnesium with Robert Neer, M.D.) and vitamin D metabolism (with Michael Holick, M.D.).
In addition, he studied various nutritional strategies: Macrobiotics (with Mishio Kushi, raw foods, fasting), Acupuncture, Massage (shiatsu), Music Therapy (trained in the Tomatis method), Anthroposophical Medicine (with Otto Wolff, M.D.) and Classical Homeopathy. Medical school at the University of Vermont in Burlington was followed by Medical Internship (1 year) and Psychiatric Residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (3 years). He became a specialist in Psychiatry (focusing on Neuro-Psychiatry and Psycho-Neuro-Immunology).
A beekeeper before he became a physician, Dr. Weeks has utilized Venomology (apitherapy in particular) since founding the American Apitherapy Society (AAS) in 1985 and editing its Journal for the first 6 years of its publication. Fortunate to have developed a close mentoring relationship with the father of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., Dr. Weeks has developed these principles over the past 20 years in his Psychiatric and Medical Practice.
Invited to work with the world-famous Jonathan Wright, M.D. at the Tahoma Clinic right out of residency, Dr. Weeks subsequently broadened his practice to include Nutritional Therapies, including myriad IV treatments (ACAM accredited in Chelation Therapy 1994), Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) (trained 2002 and Clinical Instructor 2009), while developing the field of âCorrective Medicine and Psychiatry.â
At this point he serves both as a general practitioner and as a specialist and focuses on not fighting illness but rather on correcting imbalances on the mental, emotional, vital and physical levels. When necessary, he has utilized low-dose, targeted chemotherapy methodology referred to as Insulin Potentiation Therapy as part of Corrective Cancer Care. Dr. Weeks strives to empower patients to create peace within by changing their physiology through diet, orthomolecular replenishment, managing their mental state and getting a good nightsâ sleep.
His current focus is sharing the principles of Corrective Cancer Care with interested Oncologists addressing the importance of not just killing cancer cells but also nourishing the patient and his/her immune system so that the cancer STEM cells which cause most of the trouble can be reintegrated into a healthy body.

Well, this is very exciting for me to try to do all this in twenty minutes. I want you to fasten your seatbelts. Let me start by saying if anyone has any questions, please do e-mail me and I'll be glad to send the slides to people. Anything they need to help them understand this, because we're going to go pretty quickly, just as a quick Segway. This is our friend, the honeybee. Notice that she is a vegetarian. She's fuzzy like a teddy bear. She's friendly. She's pretty much nonviolent compared to the wasps hornets in yellow jackets. So we're going to try to befriend her as the talk goes on. But, Michael, Horlicks work in vitamin D is very important in terms of light metabolism. And I would say just as since we are in California and I can get away with these things, I would say that bee venom is primarily, I would say, distilled sunlight. So let's go to the start here. I'll talk today about arthritis, multiple sclerosis and cancer. And I wanted to start by thanking Lorraine. She's invited me for about 15 years to come down here. And finally, I've come here and so wonderful group of people. I'm very appreciative for being able to be here.
And I'm also appreciative for Charlie and Margaret Meri's, who back in the early 80s introduced me to be venom therapy and the work of the ape therapy, now deceased. They're both taught me a tremendous amount about patient interaction. Charlie's credentials were nothing. He he dropped out of high school, became one of the most influential beekeepers in the world. He invented many aspects of beekeeping. This is the original venom extraction. And this is working in his laboratory. He's sold a pure bee venom to pharmacy a corporation. He was the gold standard for production of bee venom in the world, patented nothing, had no interest in that. He just went ahead. He and I formed the American Hippotherapy Society with a courageous group of HD patients and medical doctors years ago. That's still going strong. We have the president of Ape Therapy Society, Andrew Kocan, in the room. And so if you have questions, ape therapy dot org. And he was also featured recently in CBS News Sunday morning, The Wonderful World of Bees. Excellent publications. So Charlie and I traveled the world teaching people about bee venom. I liked the Army slogan, you know, joined the army. They say, join the army, you get to meet, you'd travel the world, you get to meet interesting people, then you get to shoot them in. The Ape Therapy Society was similarly, you could travel
