Yes, his challenge began even before he was born - at birth his survival rate was 0%, due to his mother's uremic poisoning of the uterus. He was born in 1944 and after birth the doctors gave him a 50% chance to live.

In 1969 he turned 25 and his health started to decline rapidly. In the early 1970's he experienced acute swelling of the lower legs and extremities, with his Cholesterol level holding steady at 525 (Normal Cholesterol level is 120-160).

In 1972 he had accumulated 60 lbs. of water from his waist down. His kidneys lost 85% of their function and he was immediately sent to the hospital in Portland, OR where at that time MD Specialists were conducting an experimental DIALYSES study. Each patient had to stay there for seven days and again Dr. Crofoot was given two weeks to live. This experiment called for four blood transfusions in an eight hour day for a total of seven days.

The next big break came from Dr. John Foster, Chiropractor and an expert in Nutrition also in Portland, OR. On his recommendation, Dr. Crofoot moved to a high and dry desert area in Denver, CO where for the next four years he received treatments from Dr. Sternholm, a Swedish practitioner, who was practicing and specializing in soft tissues of the human body, a successful technique found by Dr. Walton.

The following three years were spent in the dry desert of Arizona, where Dr. Jessie Jacobs was treating him with liquid nutrition via IV's and in 1974 he started his own practice. Two years later, his strong desire to return home to Oregon, led to the decision to move his practice to Silver Lake, OR where in 1976 NU-HEALTH, INC was established.

In 1980 Dr. Crofoot met a gentleman by the name of Malcolm J. White, Sr.; who was one of the original hardware, floppy and scanner designers for IBM. Together, they were able to transform NU-HEALTH, INC into a Nutritional phenomena - The Computerized Symptomology with Personalized Nutrition - the system with absolutely no competition anywhere!

Malcolm J White's knowledge of computer programming and Dr. Crofoot's arsenal of compiled University studies and experiments, his own endeavors, his own studies and clinical experiences led him to one of the greatest discoveries in the world's history.

Dr.Crofoot studied nutrition and became a doctor of nutrition, graduating from the American College of Nutrapathy of Scotsdale Arizona with a Bachelor in Body Science, Physiology, Anatomy and a Doctorate in Nutrition.

Dr. Crofoot's amazing life story is virtually unbelievable! He has lived with kidney function of only 15% for twenty-five years prior to another fourteen plus years with 0% kidney function. The fact that he is still alive is living proof that his system "Eat Right for Your Chemistry" works!!
