Thomas Levy graduated from Tulane Medical School in 1976 and received his postgraduate training in Internal Medicine and then Cardiology at Tulane as well. In 1998 he also received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Denver College of Law. Although Dr. Levy became Board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases, his traditional medical training did not prevent him from being completely open to and fascinated by the work of Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, MS, whom he met in 1993 and with whom he began, what he has called his second medical education.
Dr. Huggins introduced Dr.Levy to the many profound uses and applications of vitamin C. Dr. Levy is one of the worlds foremost experts on vitamin C, magnesium and antioxidants. He has written several books such as “Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases,
and Toxins”, “Primal Panacea;, “Death by Calcium”, “Magnesium: Reversing Disease” and more.
His research and writings have led him to conclude that all diseases ultimately start and are then propagated by increased oxidative stress in the affected organs and tissues, both intracellularly and extracellularly. His ongoing work continues to focus on contributing to the sound scientific basis for reaching this conclusion, as well as how to best slow and even reverse a variety of chronic degenerative diseases by lessening the levels of oxidative stress in the affected tissues.
Dr. Levy was inducted into the International Orthomolecular Society’s Hall of Fame in 2016, along with former great scientists such as Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1954 and Nobel Peace Prize in 1962), Albert Szent-Györgyi (Nobel Prize 1937 for his discovery of vitamin C), Frederick Klenner, Abram Hoffer and many more (also our Swedish Bo Jonsson, MD, PhD, Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm).
Dr. Levy is a world-leading expert on vitamin C and lectures regularly, all over the world, on the use of vitamin C and antioxidants in healthcare and the importance of nutrients for a healthy and living body.
