Dr.
Douglas Brodie
Dr. Brodie
began his pre-medical education in 1943 at St.Mary's College
in Winona, Minnesota He completed his premedical requirements
at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiania. He
then attended the University of Michigan Medical School, graduating
with a Medical Doctorate degree in 1949.
Dr. Brodie began private practice in association with Dr. Fletcher
Taylor, specialist in internal medicine, in Oakland, California.
In connection with his practice in the Oakland community, Dr.
Brodie was a member of the hospital staffs of Samuel Merritt
Hospital, Peralta Hospital, and Providence Hospital in Oakland,
as well as Herrick Hospital in Berkeley. After two year's tutelage
under Dr. Taylor, Dr. Brodie entered solo practice in nearby
Walnut Creek, California. In this capacity he was a member of
the Concord Community Hospital in Concord, California.
In 1970, after 11 years of practice with the association, most
of the time being spent in Tahoe City, he changed his status
from group practice to solo practice, becoming more oriented
toward preventive and non-toxic therapies. In 1972, he began
managing cancer patients with alternative and nutritional methodologies.
Over the next few years he developed several new and unique
procedures for enhancing the immune systems in depleted cancer
patients and for potentiating conventional chemotherapy.
Dr.Brodie also found during this period of his practice that
his methods offered substantial protection against the toxic
affects of chemotherapy. In 1976, he entered into a part-time
association with Dr. John Richardson, a well-known pioneer in
the field of alternative non-toxic methods in the management
of cancer.
In 1983, Dr. Brodie was appointed by then-Governor Richard Bryan
to serve on the newly formed Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners
for the state of Nevada. This was the first-ever Homeopathic
board established by the Nevada Legislature, and the second
in the nation. Dr. Brodie served as Vice President of this board
until his term expired in 1985. He continues to be licensed
to practice homeopathy in this state, and to be licensed in
allopathic (MD) medicine as well.
Dr. Brodie moved his practice to Reno, Nevada, for better accessibility
to his out-of-town patients. He has continued to provide alternative
and integrative care to cancer patients, working with several
enlightened oncologists to provide the best possible combination
of therapies. Dr. Brodie utilizes many natural substances, including
herbal preparations, homeopathics, intravenous vitamins and
minerals, biological response modifiers, and a number of non-toxic
materials, designed to activate and enhance the immune system.
These methodologies are often used in combination with conventional
cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, when
these are appropriate. It has been found that such combinations
virtually always reduce the adverse side effects of traditional
therapies.
Dr. Brodie is the author of "Cancer and Common Sense, Combining
Science and Nature to Control Cancer," published by Winning
Publications, 1987.
