"The American people have a right to know that they have options in their health care beyond pharmaceutical drugs and surgery," says Dr. Godby, a Sacramento, CA-based naturopathic doctor.
The University of Bridgeport is a big proponent of naturopathic medicine, which is based on teaching patients about the innate healing abilities of their bodies through natural therapies.
Dr. Godby and his sons, Jeremiah and Isaiah, and nephew Jonas Ely took only 16 days off from running throughout the four-month period, averaging about 30 miles a day. During the trip, the runners held 260 news conferences, reaching as many as 65 millions people throughout the U.S.
