Orthomolecular Medicine
A Life of Quiet Excellence: Honoring W. Gifford-Jones, MD (Dr. Ken Walker), 1924-2025
By Richard Z. Cheng, M.D., Ph.D.
Editor-in-Chief, Orthomolecular Medicine News Service
"He practiced without fanfare, published without acclaim, and healed without seeking praise. But those who knew his work knew its worth."
Dr. Ken Walker-widely known to readers and patients as Dr. W. Gifford-Jones, MD -passed away peacefully at home on July 1, 2025, at the remarkable age of 101. A healer, teacher, and lifelong student of natural medicine, Dr. Walker was a true pioneer of nutritional and integrative healing-decades ahead of his time.
Dr. Walker was a long-standing member of the Editorial Review Board of the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service (OMNS), and his work consistently embodied the values we champion: a science-based approach to restoring health by correcting biochemical imbalances, supporting the body's innate defenses, and honoring the patient as a whole person.
"You and your colleagues at the Orthomolecular Society and OMNS comprise a very special group to my father," writes his daughter, Diana Walker. "He looked with great admiration on your scientific work, holding all of you in high esteem."
A Lifetime Devoted to Root-Cause Healing
Dr. Walker built his medical career on a foundation of inquiry and conscience. At a time when conventional medicine leaned increasingly on pharmaceuticals and symptom suppression, he turned instead to nutritional therapy, detoxification, and biochemical individuality-core principles of orthomolecular medicine, first articulated by Linus Pauling and Abram Hoffer.
He was especially attuned to the silent burdens underlying chronic disease: micronutrient depletion, toxic overload, misdiagnosis, and emotional stress. His work often brought hope and healing to patients who had been written off by the medical system.
"He didn't just treat patients-he listened to them," Diana recalls. "He asked different questions. And he helped thousands find answers outside the confines of mainstream algorithms."

"REDUCING THE THREAT OF CV19 WITH VITAMIN C"
With people dying across the world of CV19, in a recent article, W. Gifford-Jones, M.D. urges the use of vitamin C as a “cure.” He calls these deaths needless as health authorities and doctors to continue to ignore the role high amounts of vitamin C can play in the treatment of this virus.
"HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT"
Here's Gifford-Jones MD brief story... (approx. 7 minutes video clip)
Book Ref, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures, that nutrients can solve it all.
There has been a nutrient logic code since the 1900s that includes;
· Vitamin C cures scurvy
· Vitamin D cures rickets
· Niacin cures pellagra
· Thiamin cures beriberi
Not a single medication was used to cure any of these diseases😉
But filling a nutritional void with disease-beating nutrients is of no interest to Big Pharma and supplement hucksters hell-bent on profits!
Book Ref: Dead Doctors Don’t Lie
“The main cause of sudden death syndrome in All 3500 human autopsies and 17,500 animal autopsies that Dr. Joel Wallach carried out was a lack of trace minerals/micronutrients”. DID YOU KNOW THIS?
Dr. Bruce Ames stated in his research paper:
Deficiency in Vitamin D, Zinc, Calcium, Folate, Magnesium, Potassium, B12, Selenium, Omega-3 EFA, Niacin, Choline, and E, Cause DNA Damage /Mutation (Double-Strand breaks) just as if you are exposed to Radiation 24/7. This leads to many diseases including cancer and accelerates aging. So these are just the minimum 30 essential micro-nutrients that we need to barely survive. You pay a heavy price if you are deficient just a little in one of these nutrients you pay a heavy price by aging you faster.

NOW,
Before you rush and purchase your next supplements, remember, not all supplements are created equal!
The New York Attorney General conducted an investigation on supplements sold at major national retailers — GNC, Target, Walgreen, CVS, Wal-Mart and found that 4 out 5 supplements tested didn't contain the DNA from plant species listed on labels!
Yet, Big block retailers keep on advertising that their supplement products are trusted / verified by a third party lab test USP for purity, 😳 Think Again!
