Dr. Robert Thompson is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who practices in Soldotna and Anchorage, Alaska.

While he is technically a "women's doctor," his work to expose The Calcium Lie has brought him many patients who fall outside his specialty. In fact, now more than half of his patients come to him for nutrition counseling and many of them have found long-term relief from chronic disease, including obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue.
He happily counts among his patients many men and children as well as women who seek out his assistance as a gynecologist as well as a nutrition specialist.

He received his medical training at the University of Kentucky and has practiced in California, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii as well as in Alaska.

Dr. Thompson lives in Soldotna, Alaska, where he takes great delight in fly fishing, hunting, hiking, canoeing and skiing and playing concert violin. His website is www.drt-obgyn.com.

Dr. Thompson and Kathleen Barnes have broken new ground in dispelling The Calcium Lie and other medical myths. It's about time! I congratulate them for challenging these deeply held beliefs that have no basis in science.

The Calcium Lie is a call to action to everyone who wants to become involved in and take responsibility for his own health.

"This is a revolutionary book that asks all of us - doctors and patients alike - to re-think our assumptions about health and nutrition. It should dispel for once and for all the myth that calcium supplements will give us strong bones. It's a real eye opener!".

There is nothing mysterious or speculative about The Calcium Lie. It's based on the basic biochemistry that every doctor studies in medical school, yet never seems to apply. Sadly, most doctors have forgotten that mineral co-factors are involved in every biochemical reaction in our bodies. Mineral balance or imbalance is so crucial that having the correct balance can be a matter of life or death. Everyone should read this excellent book and for every doctor it's a "must read."
