Born into the modest surroundings of a coal miner's family in Appalachia, her upbringing was steeped in firsthand experiences of the healthcare challenges that pervade rural communities. These formative years laid the groundwork for her unwavering dedication to advancing medical care in underserved areas.

Under Dr. Tyson's visionary leadership, the Health Wagon has flourished, evolving from a mobile clinic into a comprehensive healthcare network.

Her work has earned her spots in national and international discussions, where she advocates for rural health issues at platforms such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Her innovative approaches and tangible results have garnered her numerous accolades and have made her a respected voice in global health conversations.

In addition to her leadership and operational roles, Dr. Tyson is passionate about education and mentorship. She has recognized the need for sustained medical services in rural areas and has established educational collaborations with over 50 institutions. These programs immerse students in the realities of rural healthcare, preparing them to continue the mission of the Health Wagon and ensure its longevity and impact.

Looking forward, Dr. Tyson is dedicated to further expanding the capabilities of the Health Wagon. Her plans include enhancing diagnostic services, increasing the availability of specialist care, and incorporating advanced medical technologies.

As a cancer survivor I passed through a lot. After the tumor was surgically removed in 2005 my life has turned upside-down. Western medicine has not provided with any solution for how to stay in remission after the surgery. A chemo and radio-nuclear treatment are parts of a treatment, not a healing one I think. A preventive medicine in American transcription means to check up cancer development progress regularly performing colonoscopy and endoscopy as often as my health insurance permits.
I flew around the globe and visited those countries/regions/compounds where statistically the mortality rate caused by a gastric cancer stayed close to zero. I stayed at such places learning everything about those folks’ daily diets and found several ingredients local people consume regularly as their regular food that I believe prevents them from developing gastrointestinal cancer. Such countries/regions are New Zealand, Brazil, Turkey, Mongolia, Uruguay.
I changed my life and business course to natural supplements and functional foods importer/distributor.
