Official Bio

This bio is from Doug's official website - www.knowthecause.com

While in college in 1968, Doug Kaufmann received a draft notice from the U.S. Army. In lieu of accepting the invitation, Kaufmann opted for enlistment in the U.S. Navy, a 4 year contract rather than the 2 year proposal from the Army, but perhaps a way to avoid the Vietnam War. This is historically recorded now as one of his early errors. His enlistment commenced on October 4, 1968 in San Diego Naval Training Center and ended about the same date in 1972. After graduation from Hospital Corps “A” School, Kaufmann worked in Respiratory Therapy and in the operating room at The San Diego Naval Hospital. He was ordered to Vietnam in 1970 and was attached to The Seventh Marine Division, where he was a field corpsman. Upon returning to the USA in 1971, he became ill. While working at USC Medical School, the mystery surrounding the illness would be unraveled, enabling full recovery for Kaufmann without the recommended prescriptions. Thirty-six years later, many thousands of loyal television viewers enjoy learning about this still relevant discovery and how it might impact their health. Much occurred in the early years that convinced Kaufmann that he needed to teach this lifesaving information to physicians. Few listened, so his plans changed. The new mission was to educate the consumers of healthcare…we, the people.

In 1987, Kaufmann relocated his family to Dallas Texas at the request of several physicians who were familiar with his discovery. A few years into this relocation, a local radio station requested that Kaufmann begin broadcasting his different approach to health on their station and offered free time each Saturday. This 30-minute show was quickly enhanced to 3 full hours as its popularity (YOUR HEALTH MATTERS) grew into several large markets. In 1998, a television network requested Kaufmann’s presence and his TV shows have grown in popularity ever since. Today, Hermosa Studios in Rockwall, Texas tapes and edits the TV shows and arranges satellite uplinking for many independent television stations and networks to pull the show down and broadcast it in over 80,000,000 households throughout America. The show can be viewed on first tier DISH, DirecTV and via many cable systems nationwide. Kaufmann has always encouraged his viewers to understand why they are ill. His Show, KNOW THE CAUSE, expounds upon his decades old discovery and continues to teach the importance of disease prevention. The show has won three “Telly” awards.

Kaufmann has published seven books dealing with the discovery. He has lectured throughout America and writes extensively. At 58 years young, Kaufmann enjoys jogging and time with his family, two grown sons and his wife of 28 years. Truly, these are his greatest accomplishments.
