JOE AND TERESA GRAEDON CELEBRATE 25 SUCCESSFUL YEARS
OF "THE PEOPLE’S PHARMACY" WITH HONORS
American Medical Writers Association Honors the
Graedons on September 19, 2003
The Graedons Establish The People’s Pharmacy Award for
Excellence in Research and Communication for the
Public Health
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Joe and Teresa Graedon,
authors of the nationally syndicated column "The
People’s Pharmacy," will receive the 2003 Walter C.
Alvarez Award from the American Medical Writers
Association (AMWA) in recognition of their outstanding
communications about health and medicine to the
general public. The Graedons will receive the award
and speak to AMWA members at a luncheon on September
19, 2003 during AMWA’s 63rd annual conference in
Miami, Fla.
Celebrating 25 years in newspaper syndication with
King Features this fall, Joe and Dr. Teresa Graedon
give their expert opinion and potentially lifesaving
advice to readers of "The People’s Pharmacy."
Distributed to nearly 100 newspapers, "The People’s
Pharmacy" is a vital reference guide for readers
seeking information on the entire spectrum of
prescription and over-the-counter medications and
health products on the market today.
To commemorate their column’s 25th anniversary, the
Graedons are inaugurating "The People’s Pharmacy Award
for Excellence in Research and Communication for the
Public Health." Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of
Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, will be
the first recipient of the Graedons’ newly established
award. Dr. Willett heads the Nurses’ Health Study, one
of the world’s most valuable ongoing studies of
lifestyle and health in women.
When Joe Graedon first started writing "The People’s
Pharmacy" column in 1978, he was skeptical of claims
about alternative medicine. As a pharmacologist,
Graedon only trusted medicines that were
scientifically tested. But his wife Terry, a medical
anthropologist and later co-author of the column,
along with written testimonials from readers,
convinced him that there was science to support some
herbal remedies and alternative therapies.
Today, the Graedons write three columns a week,
including one devoted specifically to alternative
medicine, home remedies and herbal treatments. They
provide consumer-friendly information about the most
commonly prescribed medications on their Web site at
www.peoplespharmacy.org. The Graedons, who receive
between 1,000 and 2,000 letters every week, want to
empower their readers to become active participants in
their own health care. "We try to make the newspaper
column of broad general interest. So we really appeal
not only to older people, but to their grandchildren
and their children as well," says Terry Graedon.
With more than 2 million books in print, the Graedons
have provided accurate and invaluable information on
health and medicine for non-medical audiences. The
success of their first book, "The People’s Pharmacy,"
a New York Times best seller for roughly a year, led
to additional books, including: "The People’s Pharmacy
II," "The New People’s Pharmacy III: Drug
Breakthroughs of the 80s," "50+: The Graedons’
People’s Pharmacy for Older Adults," "Graedons’ Best
Medicine," "The Aspirin Handbook," "Deadly Drug
Interactions" and "The People’s Pharmacy Guide to Home
and Herbal Remedies."
About Joe and Dr. Teresa Graedon
Joe and Dr. Teresa Graedon met in Ann Arbor, Mich.,
while Joe was working on a master’s degree in
pharmacology and Terry was studying for a doctorate in
anthropology at the University of Michigan. From Ann
Arbor, Joe and Terry went to Oaxaca, Mexico, where
Terry did her dissertation research on health and
nutrition while Joe taught pharmacology to second-year
medical students at the Universidad Autonoma "Benito
Juarez." During those two years, he started work on a
book called "The People’s Pharmacy."
Discussing issues relating to drugs, herbs, home
remedies, vitamins and related health topics, Joe and
Teresa Graedon are frequent guests on television news
and information programs. The Graedons are also
popular co-hosts of a weekly radio talk show about
health, which is broadcast to more than 500 stations
in the United States and abroad on public radio, the
InTouch Radio Reading Service, and Armed Forces Radio
and Television Service.
Joe is considered one of the country’s leading drug
experts for consumers and speaks frequently on
pharmaceuticals, nutrition and self-care. He has
appeared as a guest on many major TV shows, including
"The Oprah Winfrey Show," "20/20," "Today," "Good
Morning America," "The Tonight Show," "Larry King
Live," "Dateline NBC" and "CBS Morning News." Joe
earned a master’s degree in pharmacology from the
University of Michigan, and has been an adjunct
assistant professor in the Division of Pharmacotherapy
at the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy
since 1986.
Terry received a bachelor’s degree from Bryn Mawr
College in 1969, graduating magna cum laude with a
major in anthropology. She attended graduate school at
the University of Michigan, getting her master’s
degree in 1971. She received an Institute for
Environmental Quality fellowship, which enabled her to
pursue doctoral research in Oaxaca. Her doctorate was
awarded in 1976. Terry is a member of the American
Anthropological Association, the American Public
Health Association, the Society for Applied
Anthropology and the Society for Medical Anthropology.
She has taught medical anthropology at Duke University
in North Carolina.
