Russell L. Blaylock, MD - Biography
Dr. Blaylock is a board certified neurosurgeon engaged in a private neurosurgical
practice for the past 21 years. During this time he has had a strong
interest in nutritional treatment of neurological disorders and in the
biochemical basis of diseases of the nervous system. ADD and ADHD have been
a part of his interest because of the relationship to the excitotoxic
process. In 1994 he wrote a book on this subject, Excitotoxins, The Taste
That Kills, and revised and updated it in 1998. He has written and
illustrated three chapters in medical textbooks and a patient care booklet
on multiple sclerosis. In addition he has published several papers in peer
reviewed journals on a variety of subjects from the pathology and treatment
of pituitary tumors to immunothearpy of brain tumors. He has appeared on
the 700 Club approximately 7 times, Life Style Magazine once, and 30 plus
syndicated radio programs discussing the book. While he does not treat ADD in
his practice, he has given advice to a number of mothers and have found that
a significant number improve and some quite dramatically.
