About the Author
Dr Mayfield grew up in Sacramento, the eldest of five in a high-energy family that worked hard, played hard and went to church on Sunday.
He and his wife are passionate about skiing, mountain biking, hiking and sailing. His lovely wife Judy is an incredible potter, who displays her works in art galleries and at their family practice.
While supporting his way through college he worked a number of service sector jobs, from construction to driving semi- trucks. He was a medic in the army. He understands working people and understands the stress and strains of every day life.
In 1964 he entered the famed Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa. Many of the professors that taught at that time were legendary. It was a good foundation for learning about holistic health.
Later, after he had been in practice for a few years he began learning about the five elements, the foundation of classic Chinese acupuncture. With this knowledge, he felt like he was beginning to comprehend how our magnificent bodies actually work. It was like coming home. Medical physiology is half the truth of how our body functions. Adding the five elements makes the understanding complete.
Dr. Mayfield has enhanced his knowledge through the study of hundreds of healing procedures that have come on the market during his thirty-seven years of practice. He has distilled them down to a small number of truly effective protocols and procedures. He discovered that the habits, which progressively heal your body and mind, are also the habits that awaken you from the slumber of historical time. These same habits let you live in the upper limits of this incredible life.
Body Intelligence is a culmination of his lifetime study of the human body and to convey simple everyday self-help techniques for improved health, healing and overall wellbeing.
