Dr. Wilson's theme: Discovering Your Resources, Helping You Heal- so that you can vibrantly engage with life.
"My traditional training began in the University of Michigan Medical School, 1970, toward the M.D. degree. After completing a year I chose to go on what became a personal healing journey, discovering ways to integrate western medicine with other approaches to healthy living and health improvement. The keys to my health recovery were: A) recognizing and treating toxic dental conditions, and, B) experiencing Homeopathy and “Integrative Medicine” approaches to remove restrictions to healthy function. I have trained with medical doctors, naturopaths, psychotherapists, shamans and others. My associations with natural medicine practitioners and doctors trained in western medicine helps me ot create programs that integrate the best of both worlds. I am licensed as a Naturopathic Physician in Washington, D.C."

Dr. Wilson is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and a member of Mensa. He applies his skills to help the cause of world healing. He received his N.D. degree in 1989 from Bastyr University, in Seattle, WA, a four-year naturopathic medical school that trains doctors for primary care using natural medicines. He completed his master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (including study in China) in 1995.  He served as adjunct faculty in physical examination and clinical procedures including chelation, injection therapies and neural therapy. He served on the board of directors of the Well Mind Association of Seattle who supported Adam Hoffer, M.D., who developed Orthomolecular Psychiatry. The WMA introduced Dr. Wilson to Biological Dentistry as an important resource for mental health support. In 2000, he completed Bastyr's year-long certificate program in Spirituality, Health and Medicine, which had a pastoral counseling and mental health focus. During 2000, Dr. Wilson worked in the office of Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D., and there met Mark McClure, DDS, Doctor of Integrative Medicine. Dr. McClure's enthusiastic description of National Integrated Health Associates inspired him to become a NIHA practitioner.

SUPPORT FOR BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY and INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE

For 20 years Dr. Wilson has been committed my energies to help people recover from the effects of dental conditions on their bodies and minds. Past President of the Association of Health and Dental Awareness Professionals; DAMS coordinator (Dental Amalgam Mercury Syndrome).  He served on the Board of Directors of the Well Mind Association (supporters of the Orthomolecular Psychiatry of Abram Hoffer, M.D.). he is adamant about  seeing lives severely damaged by dental mercury and damage done by root canal fillings and extraction socket degeneration. He has seen people who eventually reclaimed their health after learning about the dental connections to health of body and mind and says  is gratifying to see improvement in chronic, often devastating and puzzling conditions after people use a blend of approaches such as are offered at NIHA.
