Dr. Battle was born in Marshall, Texas. After living throughout the
Southeast, he returned to Texas to enter and graduate from Rice University.
In 1965, he received his M.D. from the University of Texas Medical Branch in
Galveston, Texas. Following a year of rotating internship with the United
States Public Health Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, he served a residency of
two years at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston.

For sixteen years, Dr. Battle performed surgery and delivered babies as most
family physicians do. In 1984, he learned of preventive medicine through
chelation therapy and good nutritional alternatives versus the frequent side
effects of synthetic pharmaceuticals. Since then, he has focused attention
on treating the cause of disease as opposed to merely treating symptoms.

He is a
fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and a Diplomate of the
American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology. He is a member of the Texas
Medical Association and the Harris County Medical Society. Due to the
negative impact on health by toxic wastes and pollution, he was prompted to
join the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) in 1985. He has
been a member of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine ACAM*
since 1984.
