Dr. Wallach has appeared frequently on local and national network television (including a special with ABC's 20/20) regional and national talk radio programs as an expert on trace mineral and rare earth deficiency diseases. Dr. Wallach is also the host of his own talk show radio program (Let's Play Doctor) in Palm Springs, California every Saturday morning. Because of his freewheeling style of humor and ability to zero in on the basic truth in health he is widely known as the "Rush Limbaugh" of alternative health.

Dr. Wallach's research has resulted in the publication of more than 70 peer review and refereed journal articles in the fields of nutrition and pharmaceutical research, major Contributions to eight multi-author text and reference books including the Merck Manual and authorship of a definitive text/reference book on the subject of comparative medicine (W.B.

Dr. Wallach was the recipient of the 1988 Wooster Beach Gold Medal Award for a significant breakthrough in the basic understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of Cystic Fibrosis- the gold medal was awarded by the Association of Eclectic Physicians.

Dr.Ma Lan was educated in the Peoples Republic of China. Dr. Ma Lan received her M.D. from Beijing Medical University, took her residency in Peoples Hospital, Beijing and was a staff surgeon at the Canton Air Force Hospitals for eight years; she received her M.S. (Master of Science) in transplant immunology from Zhong-Shan Medical University, Canton, Peoples Republic of China. As with all Chinese doctors, Dr. Ma Lan was trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (i.e.- acupuncture, herbs, manipulation, massage and hydrotherapy) prior to entering the western-style medical school.

Dr. Ma Lan's research credits include being an exchange scholar at Harvard School of Medicine, Boston where she trained residents how to perform laser microsurgery; a research fellow in laser microsurgery at St. Joseph's Hospital, Houston; the Department of Orthopedic Microsurgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and the Department of Pharmacology at the University of California. Dr. Ma Lan has ten peer review publications to her credit in the fields of transplant immunology and microsurgery.

Lastly, Dr. Ma Lan was "sent to the countryside" for three years of hard labor during the "Cultural Revolution" of China, her crime was "being an educated person and potentially dangerous to the revolution;" during those hard years of forced labor she was able to quietly be a doctor during her rest periods for a small farming village in the north of China using only traditional Chinese Medicine. If all medical doctors were as devoted to their patients as Dr. Ma Lan is the world would be a wonderful Place!
