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, he became a public health director, serving two rural areas in the United States, and a family physician in private practice in Florida. Dr. Dodge retired from his family practice in 1996. Through his experiences, Dr. Dodge grew to understand the value of embracing the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Quantum physics and cutting edge research support such a perspective. In his first book, Tim's Story: Spiritual Perspective of Health, Dr. Dodge describes this emerging trend in medicine and defines the individual's responsibility in this new paradigm of health. Dr. Dodge's second book, Dan's Story: One Man's Discovery of His Inner Health Power, is an absorbing tale about a man with health problems who learns how to tap into his inner health power. The keys to health that he discovers are empowering for anyone who takes them to heart. Dr. Dodge's Ten Steps to Exceptional Health was published in 2010. The author writes a regular health column for the Citrus County Chronicle, publishes a Wellness Newsletter, and hosts The Joys of Healthy Living Radio Show at VoiceAmerica.com. He and his wife now live in San Antonio, Texas. Professional Qualifications
