Dr. David Williams: Clinician, Researcher, World Traveler, Entrepreneur, Author, and Publisher
Dr. Williams is known for his independence and down-to-earth personality. He also has a hard-earned reputation as one of the world’s leading authorities on natural healing. Often years ahead of the conventional medical establishment, he has traveled worldwide to locate, evaluate, formulate, and write about proven treatments and cures for practically every major health concern today. Until 1985, Dr. Williams operated the largest non-invasive alternative medical practice in central Texas. At that time, he sold his clinic and devoted his full time and energy to sharing his health discoveries from around the world through his newsletter Alternatives. Over 20 years later, Alternatives has become America’s longest-running newsletter devoted to alternative medicine. Dr. Williams writes for an audience of more than 300,000 subscribers about the most promising new therapies he’s uncovered. He provides clear guidelines for using those therapies safely, and reliable sources to obtain them.
Dr. Williams likes to recall that, when he was a kid, people were close and family was important. Since he was raised in a small, hard-working farm community in the Texas panhandle, most people didn’t have a lot of the nicer things in life. But they did have something far more important than money; they had values. The people in his community relied on honesty and lived by the Golden Rule–they took care of each other. That’s the way Dr. Williams sees his research and writing for Alternatives. It’s the best way he knows to contribute his part of people “taking care of each other.”
Motivated by his philosophy that the body’s innate healing capabilities need to be supported with sound natural therapies, Dr. Williams travels the globe in search of highly effective herbal cures and treatments that have been used in remote parts of the world for centuries.
