Dr. Edward A. Taub is a Pediatrician, Family Doctor, and Wellness Pioneer. He graduated from the Upstate Medical School in Syracuse, NY in 1963 and completed his Pediatrics residency at the USC-LA County Hospital. He's called “America’s Wellness Medical Doctor,” because he is inspiring and empowering children and adults of ages to help determine their own health destiny.
Dr. Taub founded Integrative Medicine with his invitational lecture to the Institute of Medicine: Integrative Medicine; A Biosocial and Psychospiritual Approach to Health and Wellness." (1980)
He defined Integrative Medicine as a blend of modern medicine with older traditions of healing based on stimulating our natural Healing Force. He also stated that Integrative Medicine must be as spiritual as well as scientific--explaining that while our health is too important to be left up to science, it's also too important to be unscientific about.
He describes Wellness as more than just the absence of disease. Rather, it's a sense of vitality that is a reflection of our physical, mental and spiritual energy being in balance so that the power of our natural Healing Force is flowing freely to nourish and nurture our whole being.
Dr. Taub's painless Wellness Vaccination achieves the above, thus becoming the platform for the only smoking cessation program ever endorsed by the American Medical Association, and the basis for establishing the first Wellness Departments in American hospitals.
As QVC's Wellness Medical Doctor for 13 years, he created the world's largest Wellness Medical practice with his constant message to over 100 million homes: “Health is our most precious asset and it is primarily determined by our own personal responsibility, self-value, and reverence for life."
He's authored or co-authored 8 books. "Balance Your Body, Balance Your Life" was made into a national PBS special. "The Wellness Solution," co-authored with Dr. Ferid Murad, a Nobel Laureate, and David Oliphant, a well-informed patient, was published by the World Almanac Company in 2007.
Dr. Murad shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering that the lining of our blood vessels, which science calls the Endothelium, produces Nitric Oxide molecules that send signals to all our cells and organs to help them stay well and function just as nature intended.
The Taub-Murad-Oliphant collaboration led to identifying Nitric Oxide molecules as the human "Spark Of Life," literally our God-given, natural Healing Force. The authors also identified the Endothelium as a vital organ, teeming with life and crucial functions. Stunning concepts!
Dr. Taub has further identified the Endothelium as our "Life Organ" or "Wellness Organ"--which
he simply calls the ENDO. He believes these concepts are simple enough to impact everyone, regardless of their economic or educational levels. Thus, identifying our Wellness Organ is a landmark opportunity to help individuals of all ages attain Wellness.
His Wellness Vaccination stimulates the natural resilience of the ENDO, which begins fading naturally around the age of about 40, but becomes sick and diseased when attacked by constant stress--the major virus of our time!
Dr. Taub knows that just dispensing facts will not cause most people to behave more healthfully. His goal is saving lives by inspiring and empowering people to take the necessary steps to live healthier lives. He believes the most effective means of assuring health and happiness is through stimulating personal responsibility, self-value, and reverence for life!

“The wise physician recognizes that the physiological and psychological resources
of patients are an important part of the total treatment strategy, along with the best
that modern medical science has to offer. Dr. Taub makes full use of the latest research
in the concept of the patient-physician partnership. His work has extraordinary merit”
