| Dr. Roy passed away in Kelowna
on March 3, 2001, after a brief illness and a stroke.
Dr. Roy was a Naturopath and
an M.D. Like his father before him, Dr. Roy was
originally educated as a medical doctor and graduated from the
University of Montreal.
After practicing mainstream
medicine for several years, he became discouraged with the poor
progress his patients made on drug therapies.
It lead him to research
natural methods of healing, and ultimately he converted
his Toronto practice to Naturopathy. He was one of the
first doctors in Canada to treat cancer with natural
remedies.
Subsequently he was persecuted for it by the medical
establishment.
Dr. Roy, who would
never be discouraged, spent much of his time and
energy on extensive studies over many years, culminating in
his book on cancer.
He was a seeker after truth, and a great teacher and
lecturer. As a prolific writer he created a whole series of
booklets dealing with individual health issues & problems, as a
means to educate his patients.
He was generous to a fault in his
willingness to share.
Being light years
ahead in his holistic approach to healing, his
written materials showed quantum leaps in original thought on
various health problems.
So did his diagnostic
method.
In
order to determine the cause and treatment for each condition,
he had developed a computerized diagnostic system,
comprising thousands of questions in a health
questionnaire for the most in- depth analysis.
His death is a very great loss
to the Naturopathic profession, as well as to his many
students, patients and friends.
He was one of the great pioneers in that
profession and broke the hardest ground for those who follow in
helping humanity.
