PHILADELPHIAWayne Diamond, N.D., a naturopathic physician and founder of Diamond Herpanacine Associates, passed away Nov. 30, 2009, after a lengthy battle with myelofibrosis; he was 64.

We are devastated by Waynes loss, said Leslie Diamond, Waynes wife and partner in Diamond Herpanacine Associates. He was such a powerful force of love, compassion and knowledge in our lives and our business and he will be greatly missed. Our goal will be to continue sharing Waynes message about natural healing and the mind and body connection to as many people as we can reach worldwide using his passion for helping others. 

Dr. Diamond placed a strong emphasis on patient education and his holistic practice concentrated on comprehensive safe and effective natural medicine such as vitamin and herbal therapy, nutritional programs, weight control and biochemical balancing (to combat disease). As a psychotherapist, Dr. Diamond worked on stress management, personal growth, family counseling, couples therapy, eating disorders and gestalt therapy. He appeared on television, radio, published articles and had given over 500 talks, lectures and workshops on all aspects of preventive natural medicine, and healing both physically and psychologically.

He is survived by wife Leslie, his stepchildren Jay S. Jacobs and Deborah Lee Jacobs, his grandchildren George Seth and Jordan Eve Wagner, his sisters Patti Bush, Linda Leon and Randi Wellner and his stepmother Dorothy Diamond.
