About

I specialize in difficult and complicated cases.  These are people who have chronic diseases, are medical mysteries, and people who have been to all types of medical specialist and healers.  I am very skilled in working with sensitive types and people who have reactive constitutions.  I have been working with herbs since the age of 12 and have studied herbs every day of my life. I expect results and positive dynamic changes in every single person who sees me.

Family History

Dr. Samuel Day – My great-great-great-great-great grandpa was one of first “Root Doctors” and herbalist to practice in Ohio. He studied with local Native American elders. He was also part of the early Eclectic Herbal Medical movement in the Ohio area.

 

My great-great-great-great grandpa was a graduate of the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati (the preeminent herbal medicine school in US history) and the Homeopathic College of Cleveland. He was an Eclectic (Herbal Medicine) Doctor and Homeopathic Doctor.

 

My relative was Joseph “Mormon Joe” Malcom, a famous mountain man, survivalist, friend of many Native tribes and guide to those traveling westward into new territories.
