About Douglas Brodie
DOUGLAS BRODIE, M.D. completed his pre-medical requirements at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana and his M.D. Degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After his internship in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he served in the United States Air Force as a Captain and Flight Surgeon. Dr. Brodie’s resident training was with the University of California Hospital in San Francisco, California and with Alameda County Hospital in Oakland, California, serving his last year as Chief Medical Resident.
For 20 years he had a successful and uninterrupted medical practice in California. In 1976 he came to the rescue of the Dr. John Richardson Clinic when Dr. Richardson was forced to give up his practice. Dr. Brodie used non-toxic and natural methods in the control of cancer and began to suffer the same harassment and public humiliation as did Dr. Richardson. Fighting many attempts to take his license away, Dr. Brodie finally won the right to treat his patients with Metabolic Therapy. He considers this “Not just a personal victory, but a victory for freedom of choice in Medicine.” Moving his practice to Nevada in 1980, Dr. Brodie continues to provide alternative care for cancer patients in Reno, Nevada.
Dr. Brodie and the late Mike Culbert co-authored a book called Cancer & Common Sense, which tells about Dr. Brodie’s 30+ years of clinical experience using Alternative Therapies.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate being here. And I am honored to be here. I've spoken intermittently about every other year here for close to 30 years. Now, I think. And it's always an honor and a pleasure to. Be speaker.
However, as you will find out, it's not my not my number one talent. I am also honored to follow the Griffins. My good friends for. 30 some years or more. And fellow combatants in the LATRELLE wars of the 70s.
They were very challenging and very interesting, but I feel very fortunate to have survived the wars and to have maintained a license, medical license all these years in spite of the numerous attacks, especially in California, on that license.
I wanted to start out by talking about my good friend, Kurt Donsbach.
He told a story yesterday about me. And in his otherwise excellent talk, he he said that I was a head up baseball scholarship, that I went through medical schools on a baseball scholarship, which is totally untrue, and that I was a pitcher, which is also untrue.
I was a second baseman. And anyway, in spite of not having a scholarship, I managed to graduate anyway from the University of Michigan in nineteen forty nine.
Now, you know, long ago that was.
Anyway, after internship, residency and military, I finally entered practice in 1955, which is now I'm on my fiftieth anniversary of medical practice. My name. Anyway, it took me a while to figure out that practicing pharmaceutically oriented medicine was really not for me. And some people learn a little slowly took me 17 years of traditional practice and writing prescriptions in the usual manner took me that long to figure out that that wasn't the best way to go.
So about 30, some 33 years ago, I began doing alternative care for cancer.
I've been doing that ever since. And I've been very pleased and. And I'm very grateful, as I say, to manage to keep a license for all these years.
Hand over this time, I've been really impressed with certain aspects of cancer that I like to share with you.
No. One is the consistency of. Immune deficiency. Cancer patients.
And this, of course, is how he started out and how he basically how he attacked that problem is boosting the patient's own ability to deal with the disease.
And nothing good happens until you do that, until you have a healthy.
An aggressive immune system that's capable of combating cancer. So we use many things which we'll get into in a moment to. To enhance the immune system. Unfortunately, conventional medicine has had a hard time
