About the Author

Andrew W. Saul is Assistant Editor of the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and Editor-in-Chief of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service. He has a nontraditional Ph.D. in Human Ethology and was on the faculty of the State University of New York for nine years. He has studied in Africa and Australia, earned a master's degree and three state certificates in science education, and has twice won New York Empire State Fellowships for teaching. Saul has a reputation for his commanding knowledge of clinical nutrition. For a list of his publications, with online links to most of them, click here.

Saul's 1994 book, PAPERBACK CLINIC, has been used as both college textbook and reference work for health practitioners.  In Brazil, a number of rainforest Indian tribes are now megadosing with vitamin C due to his guidance.  The result is that these natives' miscarriage and infant mortality rates have plummeted. His 2003 book, DOCTOR YOURSELF: Natural Healing that Works, is in its fourth printing. (For more on Doctor Yourself, please click here.)

His latest book, politely entitled FIRE YOUR DOCTOR!, is described here. Interestingly enough, the foreword to FIRE YOUR DOCTOR! is written by one of the world's most distinguished physicians: Abram Hoffer, M.D.

Andrew Saul has been a consulting specialist in natural healing for over 30 years. What makes this man dangerous is that he won't shut up and go away. That, and the fact that he's helped thousands of people restore their health without drugs or surgery.

(A Review, sort of:)
Alternately considered by his students to be either the worst or the best professor they've ever had, Andrew Saul is easily the most unusual. 

A former dairyman, and now a veteran lecturer of three colleges, Dr. Saul has taught (and not a few will say corrupted) the minds of a generation or two. He has written three nuts-and-bolts vitamin handbooks, DOCTOR YOURSELF: Natural Healing that Works (2003), PAPERBACK CLINIC: A Simplified Manual of Natural Therapeutics (1994), and his latest, FIRE YOUR DOCTOR! How to be Independently Healthy. (2005). For a review of Doctor Yourself, click here. For reviews of Fire Your Doctor!, click here.

Critics might say that whether this man is brilliant and insightful, or just a cheerful crank leading fools down the garden path, is a matter of some controversy. Indeed, there are health professionals who would like Saul silenced along with the horse he rode in on. Saul is the scourge of scientists, because he is a biologist himself. He is anathema to dietitians, because he taught graduate-level clinical nutrition for years. No medical doctor will debate him, probably because of his thirty years' experience helping their problem patients get better. And while he gave far too many quizzes for his college students to like him, his experience as an insider in higher education takes the pompous air out of many a professor.

Saul says, "Doctors ignore vitamin research, claiming it isn't science.  Doctors ignore case histories, saying it isn't research.  So why not take it to the people, present what happened, and let each reader decide?"

One thing is evident: this man is not going to go away.  And even if he does, his books remain, growing in popularity every year.
