Jon Mundall, MD

Dr. Jon R. Mundall received his medical degree from Loma Linda University, in Loma Linda, CA,in 1973. He continued his training at Thomason General Hospital in El Paso, TX, completing a rotating internship in 1974. Prior to practicing in the U.S., he served in a mission clinic in Belize, Central America for nearly two years, gaining valuable experience in dealing with tropical diseases. He subsequently practiced in Minnesota, Nebraska, and Missouri, before starting his practice in Connell, Washington, in 1985.

Through the years, he has continued his ardent search to identify the causes of the diseases he encounters, as well as then ascertaining the safest and most effective ways of dealing with those disorders. Over time, this has led to the discovery of the value of measuring the tissue levels of minerals from hair samples, the utilization of Immunoglobulin G RAST testing as a means of identifying immune system derangements with the ensuing health ramifications, and the importance of various forms of chelation therapy as a necessary component in treating disease in our toxic times. Most recently he has begun utilizing the power of oxidative therapy as a useful adjunct in certain challenging disorders.

Dr. Mundall married Eloyce Scharffenberg in 1971. She is a registered nurse who frequently assists him in his medical practice. They are the proud parents of seven children, six sons and one daughter. Currently they are enjoying being the grandparents of four grandsons, and looking forward to more grandchildren in the future.
