Linda Page, N.D., Ph.D. Long before natural foods and herbal formulas became a chic, widely accepted method for healing, Dr. Linda Page was sharing her extensive knowledge with those who dared to listen.
Through what some would call an accident of fate but she calls a blessing, she was compelled to research alternative avenues of healing. Sequestered in a hospital with a life-threatening illness, watching her 5-foot frame wither to 69 pounds, her hair drop out, and her skin peel off, doctors told her they had no cure. With only a cursory knowledge of herbs, she began a frantic research process of testing herbal formulas and healing food combinations on herself. She read voraciously about herbal healing. Good friends shopped for herbs and she began to formulate the many compounds which would eventually save her life, revitalize her health and restore beautiful new hair and skin. It was that incident that led her to seek her degrees in Naturopathy and Nutrition.
A prolific author and educator, Dr. Page has sold over a million books including Healthy Healing, Cooking For Healthy Healing, How To Be Your Own Herbal Pharmacist, Party Lights, Detoxification and a popular series of books which address specific healing therapies for topics like menopause, male and female energy, colds and flu and cancer. Healthy Healing is a textbook for courses at UCLA, The Institute of Educational Therapy, and Clayton College of Natural Health. Dr. Page also formulates over 250 herbal formulas for Crystal Star Herbal Nutrition of Earth City, Missouri. She received one of the first herbal patents in the United States for her formulas that help balance hormones to ease menopausal symptoms.
Dr. Page is an Adjunct Professor at Clayton College of Natural Health. She has appeared weekly on a CBS television station with a report on natural healing; she has been featured on national CBS television; she is a principle speaker at national health symposiums and conventions; she is featured regularly in national magazines; she appears on hundreds of radio and television programs, and websites like WebMD. Dr. Page also leads educational healing tours around the world.
Today, Dr. Page delights in having come full circle. I feel I am living my dream. I am so grateful that knowledge of healing through herbal formulas and good foods is becoming so widespread. I see it as an opportunity for people to seize the power to heal themselves. Knowledge is power. Whether one chooses conventional medicine, alternative healing avenues, or combines them both in a complementary process, the real prescription for healing is knowledge.
Dr. Page is a member of The American Naturopathic Medical Association, The California Naturopathic Association, The American Herbalist Guild, The American Botanical Council and The Herb Research Foundation.
