Ray
Sahelian, M.D.
obtained a Bachelors of Science degree in nutrition from
Drexel University and completed his doctoral training at Thomas
Jefferson Medical School, both in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. What makes Dr. Sahelian
different than most other doctors who write
about supplements
is that he actually tests on himself various herbs and
nutrients in varying dosages to determine what kind of
effect they have. It is this experimental and
experiential method that has provided him with
significant insights into herbs and supplements that
few other medical doctors have discovered. In
addition, Dr. Sahelian, over his many years of medical
and nutritional practice, has had personal feedback
from thousands of his patients who take
supplements, along with tens of thousands of
supplement users who have emailed him
their experiences (or written posts on his Facebook
page), both positive and negative. There
are few people who has gathered
this type of neutraceutical information from so many
varied sources. He writes articles for several health magazines and has a popular and widely read newsletter called Natural Healing Secrets. He also offers his consulting and formulating services to medical and nutritional companies. He is the bestselling author of Mind Boosters and The Stevia Cookbook, and Natural Sex Boosters. His popular formulations include Eyesight Rx for healthy vision, Passion Rx, an herbal product which enhances sexual pleasure and stamina in men and women, Diet Rx as an appetite suppressant without stimulants, Mind Power Rx brain enhancer, Joint Power Rx for healthy joints, Good Night Rx for better sleep, and Prostate Power Rx. "My objective is to combine traditional medical knowledge with the latest research on nutrition, herbs, and natural supplements." A friend on Facebook recently posted a question, "What is one of your passions that people do not know about you?" I replied, "Walking for hours in cities, towns, villages, beaches, forests, trails, while appreciating the beauty of people, architecture, plants, colors, changes in sunlight, shadows... and continuing to learn the art of seeing."
Emails My husband has tried many
products that you formulate and deeply appreciates all your fantastic
research that you have done. Dear Dr. Ray, Thank you for your words of wisdom in the form of your amazing informative site!!! You are an incredible man, with a wealth of knowledge that you I guess acquired from learning via your patients, and I have tremendous respect for you. I have suffered from insomnia for 15 years on and off, and the calm way in which you explain treatments is so comforting. Thank you so much. love-light-blessings. A fan in the UK. P.S. Your picture shows that you are also incredibly good looking! I want to say thank you for your website AND...for listing your experiences with these nutraceuticals but most of all, your cautions of them. I tend to be a person who goes a little overboard and it is good to see your recommendations about these products and to err on the side of caution and prudence!! Please add me to the list of people who receive your regular supplement research updates. I feel that I have benefited greatly from the wealth of information you share and that I am consequently far better able to make informed decisions about nutritional supplements for the use of myself and my family. I appreciate the honesty and scientific integrity of the doctor's website. Please include us on your Supplement Research Update email. We have 2 of your books, DHEA and Mind Boosters -- great information presented very clearly! We work in the Health and Fitness area and it's wonderful to see someone of your caliber presenting such important information. My husband and I wanted to encourage you. Your web-site has been most helpful. Thank you for telling it like it is, and reporting the truth. We find ourselves coming back to your site when we need guidance. I always rely on Ray Sahelian, M.D. for accurate and honest opinion. I don't waste anytime going to any other site, he is a professional in every way and that is why he is valued in our family and others who seek what he has to share. I am very impressed with you. Very many prominent Doctors make reference about your books and works. You provide a
terrific resource for folks and I frequently make
a point of sending patients here to learn about specific
substances. Thanks very much for the work you've
done. Thank you for all the research and work you've done and especially for sharing it online. I think you present information with balance which is very much needed in the supplement area. Also, your advice that we start any supplement with a small dose shows a respect for the intricacies and vagaries of the human body as well as your concern for your readers. This engenders much trust! I've read your books and am very grateful to you for the advice you have given there. Since I had no knowledge of nutritional supplements before, reading your books opened up a whole new "support line" for me. Thank you. Love your website! Just came across it today while researching the herb "Ashwagandha." I will definitely be back for more info as needed ... it's simple to use, and straight to the point! Keep up the great work! Your website is by far the most informative site regarding nutrition, vitamins, supplements, etc. I have ever seen. I am glad I have finally found a site that I can use as a reference tool when questioning nutrition. I am so thankful that physicians (some at least) are beginning to take a serious interest in natural therapies. Thank you for what you do. I truly believe that you and physicians like you eventually are going to make a big difference in our health. Pharmaceutical companies pushing the physicians to write more prescriptions definitely is not the answer to better health. Thank you for your web site! Recently, I read 2 of your books, Mind Boosters and the other, well gee it must have slipped my mind about the title. LOL! Either way I enjoyed them both tremendously! I appreciate the fact you have tried many of the supplements yourself, mentioned the effects of them on the system, and your honest opinion. You're not just out to sell a product. Thank you for your updates, and just for being you. I no longer have to ask people who really don't have any more knowledge then I do about supplements, and yet who are telling me what's best. I will simply turn to your web site. Thank you very much for you answers, and your professionalism in this field. You are the only honest and knowledgeable professional that I know who is trustworthy! I have been reading your site for some time
now and you are one of the only honest people when
it comes to what a supplement can or can't do. I can't
trust some doctors, can't trust drug companies, can't
always trust supplement manufactures, and others simply
don't have the biochemistry background to answer correctly.
