Dr. Wallach is an associate editor of Quantum Medicine, The Journal of the Association of Eclectic Physicians, and was the recipient of the 1988 Wooster Beach Gold Medal Award for a significant breakthrough in the basic understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of Cystic Fibrosis by the Association of Eclectic Physicians. He has won recognition world wide for his important work on the trace mineral selenium and its relationship to the congenital genesis of Cystic Fibrosis.
Dr. Wallach is the author of two, alternative health, self-help books. In the first, entitled, “Let's Play Doctor,” he reviews over 400 diseases and describes his own naturopathic strategies for dealing with each. In his second, “Rare Earths: Forbidden Cures” he sounds the alarm concerning the lack of minerals in our range and crop soils and demonstrates the relationship between impoverished soils, mineral deficiencies in our diet and degenerative disease. Dr. Wallach is also the author of the now classic, “Dead Doctors Don't Lie” audio tape. On the tape he advocates for a common sense, low tech, nutritionally based approach to health and longevity. The tape has enormous appeal. As of this writing (2000), over 45 million are in circulation. In addition, Dr. Wallach hosts his own nationally syndicated radio show, frequently appears as a guest on radio and TV talk shows across the country and keeps to a busy schedule of health seminars and lectures.
