Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Doug Kaufmann, a nationally recognized author, lecturer, television and radio show host, has over 30 years of experience in diversified healthcare. Kaufmann developed the first United States medical laboratory that correlated a broad range of medical symptoms and diseases with food and fungus.

His medical career began when he was chosen to go through medical corps school while in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from the hospital corps school in 1969, was trained extensively in emergency medicine and in late 1970 was sent to Vietnam where he was attached to The Seventh Marine Division as a Navy hospital corpsman. His tour of Vietnam culminated with orders to The First Medical Battalion in Danang, Vietnam. Kaufmann earned such combat decorations as the Combat Action Ribbon, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and the Vietnam Service Medal with one bronze star.

Following his honorable discharge, Kaufmann became certified by the American Society of Allergy Technicians (ASAT) and worked in the allergy and immunology field with a Los Angeles allergist. A course in food allergy taken at the Washington University School of Medicine in 1974 would alter his career. While avoiding certain allergic foods, many of their patients had their nasal allergies, for which they were taking weekly allergy shots, completely disappear. Doug realized that food was either a potent allergen that caused serious disease, or conversely, a medicine that could treat autoimmune diseases. Of course, the latter has now been documented within the scientific literature. He co-investigated several research papers with doctors at USC Medical School in L.A.

In 1979, Doug opened Physicians Laboratories, Inc. in Los Angeles. This laboratory was involved in food and fungal research and had a staff of 4 research Immunologists. The first ELISA tests for food allergy were created in this laboratory as well as significant research aimed at better understanding the food-disease link.

A physician group in Dallas, Texas recruited Kaufmann in 1987, after they learned of his laboratory technology. While utilizing this technology for determining fungal diseases, an amazing discovery resulted. When being treated for fungal infections many patients with various diseases, thought to be incurable, responded favorably to dietary changes and antifungal drugs.

Kaufmann began broadcasting his discoveries on radio in Texas in 1992. This early radio success spawned a national television show within 7 years. In 1999, FamilyNet Television began producing and broadcasting Kaufmann’s show, YOUR HEALTH, nationwide. The show is presently carried in 180+ cities via independently owned television stations as well as satellite, including Time Warner, Comcast, Cox and Adelphia, throughout the United States. The show empowers and educates the general public on "owning" their own health. His TV show was awarded the coveted Bronze Telly award in 2003 and the Chicago based Total Living Network honored the show with The Ministry of the Month award in March 2003. Additionally, Kaufmann can be heard on over 200 radio stations daily on FamilyNet radio. His "At A Glance" vignettes are very popular with listeners.

Kaufmann published The Food Sensitivity Diet in 1984, The Fungus Link in 2000, The Germ That Causes Cancer in 2002 and Infectious Diabetes in 2003. Each book offers an alternative viewpoint to prevailing medical thought on the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Whether researching the "cause" or educating the masses, Kaufmann's proudest accomplishments have not occurred in science laboratories, broadcasting booths or boardrooms. He is the proud father of two boys and Ruth’s spouse for 23 years. Truly, these are his greatest achievements.
