Dr. Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor, naturopath, nutritionist, and a practitioner of Total Biology. She is a recognized authority in both conventional and alternative medicine. Dr. Dean offers private telephone wellness consultations through her website at www.drcarolyndean.com
Dr. Dean graduated from medical school in 1978 and holds a medical license in California. She is also a graduate of the Ontario Naturopathic College, now the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she sat on the Board of Governors for six years.
Dr. Dean is an expert in difficult to diagnose conditions such as mineral deficiencies, digestive and intestinal disorders (IBS); hormone imbalance and estrogen dominance; and yeast overgrowth as evidenced by four of her fifteen books, The Magnesium Miracle, IBS for DUMMIES, Hormone Balance, and The Yeast Connection and Women’s Health.
Dr. Dean is concerned about the danger of mercury in flu vaccines, dental amalgams, and fish, and assists her clients with countering the ill effects of mercury. She is currently writing a book on mercury.
Dr. Dean helps clients who may unknowingly be suffering from symptoms caused by sugar and artificial sweeteners, which can be harmful to health and this is a subject of another work in progress.
An important area of research for Dr. Dean is magnesium. In The Magnesium Miracle, she uncovers evidence of magnesium deficiency in 22 health conditions including heart disease, arthritis, PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and anxiety. Dr. Dean is able to advise what types of magnesium are best suited for these conditions.
In her telephone wellness consulting practice, Dr. Dean assists individuals with all types of illness at any stage or severity.

Dr. Dean has been in the forefront of health issues for twenty-eight years.

The Books that have changed my life ...
Book #1
Title: The Nancy Drew Series
Author: Carolyn Keene
Topic: mystery, adventure, self realization
How it influenced my life: As a young girl I was an avid reader. I was immensely impressed by the fact that the author of these books and I had the same name. I identified heavily with Nancy Drew and developed the notion that I could find solutions to any problems that came my way and be in charge of my life. |

Book #2
Title: Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit; Let’s Stay Well
Author: Adelle Davis
Topic: health, nutrition
How it influenced my life: In my teens I began reading any and all health books I could find. Adelle Davis was a pioneer in advocating a whole food unadulterated diet and dietary supplements and began writing health books in the mid 1930’s. She spoke with commonsense and also cited nutritional research for her statements. That’s when I first became a “health nut”. |

Book #3
Title: Are You Confused? and How to Get Well

How it influenced my life: These books gave an impressive overview of natural medicine and built on the information I had gleaned from Adelle Davis. |

Book #4
Title: Dr. Wright’s Book of Nutritional Therapy: Real-Life Lessons in Medicine Without Drugs
Author: Dr. Jonathan Wright
Topic: medicine, health, nutrition
How it influenced my life: Written in 1979, the year I began practicing medicine, this book became a very important reference for me because I was determined to practice natural medicine from the outset. Knowing that another MD was out there doing this work was both inspiring and supportive. And now, Jonathan and I are great friends as we continue to practice natural medicine and educate our patients and clients.

Book #6
Title: The Magnesium Miracle
Author: Carolyn Dean MD ND
Topic: health, nutrition
How it influenced my life: After reading everyone else’s books I began writing my own. In 1988 I self published a book called “When You Can’t Reach The Doctor”. By 2008, I had authored or coauthored fifteen books. I turned my love of reading books into a love of writing books. The Magnesium Miracle is by best selling and favorite book so far and the one people write me about saying it has changed their lives and even saved their lives! I’m very grateful for this book and happy that the message of magnesium and health is reaching so many people. |

Book #7
Title: Summary of the New Medicine
Author: Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
Topic: health, medicine
How it influenced my life: Dr. Hamer founded the medical specialty called The German New Medicine. He has proven scientifically what conflict and stress does to the body. He identifies the site of emotional conflict in the brain on CT scans. Depending on the severity of the conflict, it can be downloaded into the body as an illness to prevent an overload of stress in the brain. For me, this work adds a very important non-physical dimension to medicine and greatly enhances my work to help people overcome disease. |

Book #10
Title: The Medium is the Message
Author: Marshall McLuhan
Topic: society, world,
How it influenced my life: The following quote by Marshall McLuhan, written in 1952 predicts the whole mass media, mass electric effect. The “patron saint” of Wired Magazine, McLuhan gave me a deep and important understanding of the effects of technology on our world. Even more important is how few people realize that the medium, not the content, is the message.
"Bergson argued that if some cosmic jokester were to speed up the entire universe we could detect the event by the impoverishment of mind that would ensue.
If only on a planetary scale, we are now in a position to observe the effects of such accelerated operations socially and intellectually, because modern communications have become geared to the speed of light, and transportation is not too far behind.”–Marshall McLuhan.
