In private practice in California since 1995, Dr. Damon Miller is an author, an organic farmer and a board-certified medical doctor, also certified by the American Naturopathic Certification Board. He has a broad and extensive medical background. However, Dr. Miller does not practice traditional medicine. Instead, he follows a natural, drugless therapy approach to healthcare and his practice is limited to safe, non-surgical medicine.
His general focus is on the treatment of people with chronic, terminal and recurrent illnesses that have not been well-treated by traditional medicine. Using such therapies as acupuncture, Eastern and Western botanical medicine, detoxification, stress management, lifestyle counseling and clinical nutrition, Dr. Miller helps clients of all ages and from all walks of life to heal and live a healthier life. This includes extensive work with oncology patients. Dr. Miller uses techniques of Oriental Medicine, coupled with his knowledge as a board-certified radiologist, to support patients during chemotherapy and radiation therapy. He also devotes part of his practice to the development and utilization of microcurrent stimulation therapy for the treatment of retinal diseases, especially macular degeneration. Encouraged by the surprising improvements he saw in people with eye diseases that he had been taught in medicine were hopeless and untreatable, he has devoted a significant part of his practice to the treatment of eye disorders.
As a medical doctor, he recognizes the ways the body has of healing itself with a little support. And as a medical doctor, he also supports the teachings of Hippocrates, including his words, “I will use my power to help the sick to the best of my ability and judgment; I will abstain from harming or wrongdoing any man by it.” (From Hippocratic Writings, as translated by J. Chadwick and W N. Mann, Penguin Books, 1950.)
That’s why Dr. Miller offers safe therapies with a scientific basis that work in conjunction with the body’s own ability to prevent or overcome illness naturally. Over the years, he has helped thousands of people with assorted medical, physical and emotional conditions restore their bodies to maximum health without the need for either drugs or surgery.
Dr. Miller performs Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (CFEA) as taught to him by Khosrow Khalighi, L.Ac, Shirley Nichols, L.Ac, and by professors J. R. and Judy Worsley. For several years, Dr. Miller participated in the “Master-Apprentice Program” taught by the Drs. Worsley, Dr. Miller has also studied with other internationally recognized authorities such as Dr. Julian Scott, the expert in pediatric acupuncture, as well as acupuncture for the treatment of eye disease.
A board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologist with Special Certification in Interventional Radiology, Dr. Miller has been in practice as a medical doctor since 1985. He is devoted to finding sustainable ways to treat and support the health of those who come to see him, believing that good medicine should be easy, simple and cheap.
As an author, Dr. Miller wrote Stem Cells Heal Your Eyes with Adam Miller and Carlyle Coash, as well as some smaller books, Eat More Fat and In the Sickroom. He was the author behind the scenes for the book The Healing Wisdom of Africa by Malidoma Some.
