Rev. Dr. Busby received his M.D. (cum laude) and M.Sc. (in biophysics) from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, and then became a board-certified specialist in Aerospace Medicine in the United States. Under a NASA contract at the Lovelace Foundation, he conducted a long-term investigative study that led to his writing a pioneering book on Aerospace Medicine - ""Space Clinical Medicine: A Prospective Look at Medical Problems from Hazards of Space Operations."" Later, he fulfilled his second career choice, Christian ministry, receiving his M.Div. from the Chicago Theological Seminary, and his D.Min. and Ph.D. from the Graduate Theological Foundation. He has served in several churches as their interim (transitional) minister. Moreover, his life-long interest in spiritual healing has led to his writing and lecturing extensively about spiritual healing and leading sessions for spiritual healing in many Christian venues. He lives with his wife, an energy medicine practitioner, in Valparaiso, Indiana, USA.
