About Us

Dr. Smith

Alternative medicine is a relatively new term for a variety of therapies that work to increase wellness, to prevent illness and to address existing symptoms and conditions. Increasingly, many medical professionals regard alternative medicine as complementary to conventional medicine. We firmly believe naturopathy and homeopathy, among others, are instrumental in maintaining and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. William Donald Kelley
1924-2004

Much of the Metabolic Typing component of this web site is a product of the visionary work of Dr. Kelley. Using nutrition and holistic protocols, Dr. Kelley cured himself of terminal pancreatic cancer and subsequently authored the book, One Answer for Cancer. During the 70’s and 80’s thousands of cancer patients were benefited with the Kelley cancer nutrition protocols which included Metabolic Typing. He was one of the most well known pioneers in the sciences of what we today know as nutrition and alternative medicine. His protocols are still being used all around the world. We are grateful to his family for permitting us to publish his work on this web site.
