In Loving Memory of David J. Getoff, CCN, CTN, FAAIM 1952-2022

by PPNF / December 15, 2022

David Getoff left our world as we know it on Sunday morning, October 30, 2022. A naturopath, board-certified clinical nutritionist, and detoxification specialist, he worked tirelessly to help others overcome modern diseases but succumbed to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a very aggressive form of leukemia, at the age of only seventy.

Throughout his career, David served more than just his patients, friends, and family. For more than 20 years, he was a stalwart contributor to the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation and held the position of vice president. He was also an elected member of the American College of Nutrition, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the International and American Associations of Clinical Nutritionists, and the New York Academy of Sciences.

David was an internationally recognized expert in nutrition, diet, and the use of nutritional supplements. He had encyclopedic knowledge and a vast curiosity that propelled him to continually advance his learning and teaching. He lectured at dozens of medical, nutritional, dental, and agricultural conferences across the United States; and his easy-to-understand and very engrossing lecture style, coupled with his entertaining wit, always kept his audiences attentive and motivated.

In addition, David wrote a book titled Abundant Health in a Toxic World, contributed numerous articles and interviews to our Journal, and produced over a dozen educational DVDs on topics from cancer and diabetes to children’s emotional problems and nutritional supplements. He also created a five-part class, “Attaining Optimal Health: Essentials,” for Price-Pottenger, and this 12-hour course is still available at our website. We encourage you to keep David’s 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, he received excellent acute care at Scripps Mercy Hospital. He is survived by his beloved wife, Linda, and his much-adored cat, Tomkha.

More information on David’s life and work, including some of his writings and recommended resources, is available at his website, naturopath4you.com.

Note: As a tribute to David, we are reprinting in this issue of the Journal his article “The Best Foods for Optimizing Your Health,” which we originally published in our Summer 2018 issue.
