Gregory Dana Ullman (born December 22, 1951) is an American author, publisher, journalist, practitioner, and proponent in the field of homeopathy. He is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
Ullman received his MPH from the University of California at Berkeley, and co-taught a course on homeopathy at University of California at San Francisco for four years. Ullman is described by UC Berkeley’s alumni magazine as “a leading homeopath” and a prime mover and spokesperson for homeopathy in the United States today.
Ullman served as a member of the Advisory Council of the Alternative Medicine Center at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. In previous years he served as chairperson for the National Center for Homeopathy's Annual Conference, and has been a consultant to Harvard Medical School's Center to Assess Alternative Therapy for Chronic Illness. He has spoken at universities, medical schools, pharmacy schools, and hospitals.
Journalist John Stossel of ABC News described Ullman as "homeopathy's foremost spokesman." Anastasia Toufexis of Time Magazine described him as a "leading proselytizer of homeopathy".
He was called as an expert witness in a class action against a homeopathy vendor for misleading marketing claims. The judge said:
The Defendant presented the testimony of Gregory Dana Ullman who is a homeopathic practitioner. He outlined the theory of homeopathic treatment and presented his opinion as to the value and effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. The Court found Mr. Ullman’s testimony to be not credible. Mr. Ullman’s bias in favor of homeopathy and against conventional medicine was readily apparent from his testimony. He admitted that he was not an impartial expert but rather is a passionate advocate of homeopathy. He posted on Twitter that he views conventional medicine as witchcraft. He opined that conventional medical science cannot be trusted.
[...]
Mr. Ullman's testimony was unhelpful in understanding the purported efficacy of the ingredients of SnoreStop to reduce the symptoms of snoring. Although he is familiar with the theory of homeopathic treatment, his opinions regarding its effectiveness was unsupported and biased. The Court gave no weight to his testimony.
