Dr. Leland Green, Medical Director

Leland Green, MD, is the medical director of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. He is responsible for teaching parents how to create optimum health in their brain-injured child and well children.

Dr. Green received undergraduate degrees in zoology and anthropology, and his medical degree from the University of Minnesota. After three years in the U.S. Army, he completed a fellowship in internal medicine in Minnesota.

In 1962 he accepted a fellowship in allergy and immunology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. This led to a private practice in the field at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia.

Dr. Green first came to The Institutes seeking help for his brain-injured son. He began to work in The Institutes clinic with brain-injured children, as many suffer from allergies and a compromised immune system. From 1967 to 1972 he was the assistant medical director of The Institutes. He helped to bring Adelle Davis to The Institutes, where her concepts and principles formed the basis of the nutritional program.

As an avid traveler and adventurer, Dr. Green accompanied The Institutes staff on trips to South Africa, Brazil, Japan, New Guinea, and Italy to study child brain development.

In 1972 he returned to private practice in allergy and immunology. In 1999 he rejoined The Institutes medical staff and has become active in The Institutes AK Biofeedback program. He is a fellow of the Academy for Child Brain Development.
