For the past thirty years Keith Scott has worked as a medical doctor in both city and rural practices in Southern Africa, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

During that period he has incorporated complementary medicine into his medical practice and has co-authored two previous books including the best selling, Natural Home Pharmacy. Both books have been translated into several different languages. He has also appeared on numerous TV and radio programs and has written health related articles for newspapers and magazines.

Dr Scott has conducted courses for doctors interested in complementary medicine and was a member of a task force advising the New Zealand government on complementary therapies.

He was the founding president of the New Zealand Biological Producers’ Council, an NGO that certifies organically grown produce in New Zealand.

For several years he had a medical practice in Botswana that involved flying to remote villages where, before antiretroviral drugs became available, he successfully used complementary medical modalities to help treat the large number of his patients who were stricken with HIV/AIDS.

Dr Scott now lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa.
