Ed Dodge grew up as a missionary kid in Angola, Africa. Some of his adventures included living in the wilds of northern Angola, hunting for wild game, and traveling across many poorly charted areas of Africa.
Ed obtained his medical degree from Indiana University and his Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University.
After teaching public health in Ethiopia for two years, he was a public health director in rural USA. He concluded his career as a family physician. Through his experiences, Ed grew to understand the value of embracing the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. His first book, Tim’s Story, describes this paradign of holistic health supported by quantum physics and cutting edge medical research. It also defines the individual’s responsibility in this new paradigm.

Avoid Health-Sabotaging Foods
Health Secret # 3: Avoid Health-Sabotaging Foods Health-sabotaging foods are ones that undermine or damage health, often in hidden ways.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Edward Dodge
Most people have much more personal health power than they realize or use.
