Dr. Walter J. Crinnion

Walter Crinnion, N. D. is a noted Naturopathic Physician who, for over twenty-five years, researched, formulated and extensively clinically tested the products of Mitogenx. He received his Bachelors of Science degree in Biology from the University of San Francisco in 1975 and his degree in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington in 1982.

Throughout his career Dr. Crinnion's passion has been environmental medicine, the treatment of chronic health complaints and allergies that arise from daily exposure to low levels of environmental chemicals, or toxins. His work with patients and his ongoing research led him to the formulation of specific products to help the body function to its fullest. Hundreds of toxins bombard the body in any given day and through Dr. Crinnion's research, knowledge and persistence he developed specific nutritional products that support the elimination of toxins and better health. These are the products distributed by Mitogenx.

The demand for nutrition in general medicine

It is now acknowledged that good nutrition is very important and there is great demand by the public for it to be included in general medicine. Many medical professionals use nutritional support in working with their patients and broader acceptance is growing rapidly. It is far different from the days when Dr. Crinnion first began his training as a Naturopathic Doctor, but this shows he has been on the right track for good health in a world filled with toxins.

Dr. Crinnion is a professor of Naturopathic Medicine at Southwest College in Phoenix, Arizona, and serves as chairman of their environmental medicine department. He is also, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Mitogenx and continues his research to develop additional nutritional products for the company. Additionally, he is a frequent lecturer Naturopathic and Allopathic medical conferences.

Dr. Crinnion's beginnings

Dr. Crinnion was born in Oakland, California and was raised on a standard American diet. It was not good nutritionally and in later years he taught his parents how to eat well.

From the time he was a child, he has loved the outdoors and spent a good deal of time in nature, including growing his own vegetable garden when he was ten years old. As he approached college his interests led him to finding natural ways of healing the body and he decided that Naturopathic Medicine training fit his future plans better than traditional medical training.

Appearances on ABC TV, his radio program, cable TV and private practice

Dr. Crinnion has made multiple guest appearances with Barbara Walter's on ABC's "The View" and had his own radio talk show in Seattle, Washington for several years. He has had several articles published in peer-reviewed journals on the topic of environmental overload and he operated his own private practice, working one-on-one with patients, in the Pacific Northwest. His weekly Health Spot program on Northwest Cable News provided viewers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho up-to-date information on nutrition for a number of years.

At home today

Today, Dr. Crinnion and his wife Kelly live in Phoenix, Arizona with their infant daughter, Kate. They love to travel, especially to places with water, and to be in the great outdoors. Dr. Crinnion also has three daughters from a previous marriage.
