About the author
ABRAM HOFFER holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota and a medical degree from the University of Toronto and is the author of no additional titles named in the available record beyond his decades of practice in orthomolecular medicine.
Hoffer practiced psychiatry following his medical training and became a leading advocate for the role of nutrition and nutrients in medicine.
When not writing, Hoffer devoted his career to advancing orthomolecular medicine against sustained institutional opposition from the APA and NIMH, arguing that their resistance denied health and recovery to innumerable patients. This conviction that medicine must return to a focus on nutrition and nutrients runs through all of his work.
Abram was born in southern Saskatchewan in 1917 and raised on a farm there.
