In Loving Memory of David Getoff
David Getoff left our world as we know it Sunday morning, October 30. David worked tirelessly to help others overcome modern diseases but lost his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in the second round, after seemingly fully recovering from its onslaught a year ago.
Our friend, David, has served more than just his patients, friends, and family. For more than 20 years, he has been a stalwart contributor to the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, most recently as the vice president of our board of directors.
If you’re not one of the thousands who have met or heard from David during lectures at medical conferences or in seminars in the library at Price-Pottenger, he was a naturopath and board-certified clinical nutritionist. He had encyclopedic knowledge, quick wit, and a vast curiosity that propelled him to immerse himself to continually advance his learning and teaching.
David was committed to sharing the critical importance of diet and other ancestrally inspired metabolic-health practices to counter the plethora of damaging toxins present in every aspect of modern living. In “Detoxing for Health: An interview with David J. Getoff” in our winter 2017-2018 Journal of Health and Healing, David provides valuable information about healthful diet practices and methods to detox. This interview with Mark Bielsky, our former board president, provides only a small glimpse of David’s expansive nutrition knowledge and expert guidance.
Most recently, David produced a five-part class entitled Attaining Optimal Health: Essentials for Price-Pottenger. This 12-hour course is available at our website at a range of prices, depending upon ability to pay, including free. We encourage you to keep David and his teachings alive by watching this course and sharing the link with your friends.
While David was a huge proponent of natural and alternative healing practices, he never discounted the value of contemporary medicine, and, during his illness, received excellent acute care at Scripps Mercy Hospital, to which we are all grateful.
David is survived by his beloved wife, Linda, and his much-adored cat, Tomkha. A celebration of life is planned for December 10 in San Diego. More information will be available in the coming days, including his obituary and details for the celebration of life, at his website, naturopath4you.com.
In loving memory,
Steven J. Schindler,
Executive Director
