Bio

For more than half a century, Betty Kamen's voice has been heard in the developing arena called "The Nutrition Movement." She often refers to herself as the oldest "health nut" in the country, and for good reason. Her interest was first peaked in 1948, when her amazing career began to unfold. Dr. Kamen has 24 books in print, and has had more than 500 articles published in national magazines. Her "gigs" have taken her all over the world in her decades-long efforts to bring important underground, health-promoting knowledge your way, the kind of information that eventually reaches mainstream (when it is too often too late for many). She is an honorary member of the Indonesian Medical Society, and is well-know in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan.

Clinical Nutrition Experience

Dr. Kamen established the nutrition program as Nutrition Director of the Corsello Centers, NYC and Huntington, NY, for Serafina Corsello, MD, practicing psychiatry and medical nutrition. She provided private and group counseling and nutrition education for patients and staff.
