Who is Bill Milligan M.D?

WILLIAM MILLIGAN M.D was born and raised in Houston, Texas for the first eighteen years of his life. Following high school and a year of college, he joined the U.S. Navy and spent approximately four years as a radar-man onboard a Landing Ship Dock, (LSD), ironically during the Haight-Ashbury era. He spent much time traveling throughout the Caribbean and Europe, which opened his eyes to a vast new world as compared to Houston.

Following his discharge (honorable) from the Navy, he returned to Houston to begin College. While in college, he began training as a respiratory technician in San Joseph’s Hospital. This introduced him to a totally new world, one which would ultimately lead him into medicine, through a series of serendipitous events. While working in respiratory therapy, he developed an intense interest in other aspects of medicine, as he was exposed to residents and interns, in a teaching hospital. While working there, he entertained the idea of beginning pre-med courses at the University of Houston, which was shelved due to his limited GI bill resources. He then looked to foreign medical schools, which at that time the optimal was the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico. Due to limited resources, that was his choice, and four later he found himself doing an internship in Canada, followed by a Social Service of one year in Mexico, working with the indigent, and later a three year residency in Family Medicine, in Voorhees, New Jersey.

Following his residency, he entered into private practice, in Cherry Hill, N.J., where he spent the next twenty-five years in solo practice. He has always been interested in alternative medicine and proper diet, along with a holistic outlook, which he was able to utilize in his practice. During that time he entered into Qi Gong training, with a Master from China, in Philadelphia. After many years of training, he found Eden Energy Medicine, which took him on a completely different journey into the realms of our innate healing systems. For the past eight years this has been his passion. He is one of a few Medical Doctors in the world, who is certified in Energy Medicine. Bill edits an energy medicine website through the energy collaborative, which specifically works with physicians who are interested in energy medicine.

Bill now splits his time between Wilmington, North Carolina and Quintana Roo, Mexico. While in Wilmington his time is divided between playing congas and African drumming, being part of a steering committee for alternative medicine, photography, high end audio and recording world music. He shares his new life with his partner, Yndiana Montes, a noted journalist and videographer from Caracas, Venezuela. Both are now working on projects to help promote ecotourism, sustainable living, and alternative medicine in Mexico. They are now launching a new project, www.solocaribemexico.com, which is the sister website of .www.solocaribe.com. Even with all the troubled times in the world, Bill has a deep love for Mexico, its culture, phenomenal beauty and diversity and its people.
