About the Author
Dr. John Swartzberg, MD, FACP, has been on the cutting edge of medicine for twenty years. He has been both a doctor with a private practice, as well as a Clinical Professor at two major medical universities.
Specializing in infectious diseases, Dr. Swartzberg had the foresight to become an expert in the causes, treatment and prevention of such serious infectious diseases as AIDS and Hepatitis C. He' is a recognized lecturer in microbiology and virology, two fields that examine the microbes that cause illnesses.
He is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease. In 1975, he brought his knowledge and skills to the public by opening a private practice specializing in these two areas in Berkeley, CA. At the same time, Dr. Swartzberg became Hospital Epidemiologist in a major hospital in the Bay Area, where he became responsible for controlling the outbreaks of infections -- a position he currently still holds. Seeking to educate students in the treatment and prevention of disease, Dr. Swartzberg has been Clinical Professor of Medicine at two renowned universities, the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), since 1990. He was appointed the associate director of the UCB-UCSF Joint Medical Program in the Division of Health and Medical Sciences at Berkeley's School of Public Health in 1998.
Dr. Sheldon Margen
When the world's largest health-related newsletter began in October 1984, Sheldon Margen, a world-renowned physician, researcher, and Professor of Public Health agreed to chair the Editorial Board. He has recently retired from teaching at the University of California, but continues his extraordinary work leading the Wellness Letter and its series of books.
Dr. Margen is an expert in the areas of biochemistry, endocrinology, medicine, nutrition, and public health. He is an old-style scholar who insists on digging for as long as it takes until all the facts are on the table. At age 82, he is still happiest doing research and has easily made the leap into the world of the virtual library. In addition to the Complete Home Wellness Handbook, he has a new book coming out in the spring, Wellness Foods A To Z, and is enjoying a very active retirement.
