Achievements:

-Called the “Father of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy”:  In the early 1980s, was the first in these United States to prescribe comprehensive cyclical hormone replacement therapy (estrogens, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA), hormones identical to those found naturally in young humans (rather than hormones from pregnant horses and/or patentable pseudosteroids such as medroxyprogesterone , “Provera®”). This therapy (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy or “BHRT”) is now used nationwide by millions. Recognized as the original developer and most experienced practitioner of BHRT, Dr. Wright is a sought-out lecturer, educating physicians in maximizing efficacy and safety in bio-identical hormone use. -Originated successful natural treatment for elimination of childhood asthma. -Developed a natural treatment to stop vision loss and/or improve vision in the majority of individuals with the “dry” form of macular degeneration. -Building on the experimental animal research of Dennis R. Trune, PhD, (Oregon Health Sciences University), he pioneered the human use of the natural steroid metabolite aldosterone to reverse age-related hearing loss. -Discovered the effects of iodine on estrogen metabolism; the effects of cobalt chloride on steroid metabolism and excessive excretion of hormones.  (Bio-Identical Steroid Hormone Replacement, Selected Observations from 23 Years of Clinical and Laboratory Practice. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2005; 1057:506-524.
