Texas Honors IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
The Independent Medical Alliance is proud to congratulate Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on being recognized for her frontline medical service in the Lone Star state.
The Texas House of Representatives on May 15, 2025 passed a resolution honoring Independent Medical Alliance Senior Fellow, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden.
“This was a great honor, and I appreciate all who have fought with me.” — Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, IMA Senior Fellow, Otolaryngology and Sleep Medicine
Through adversity Dr. Bowden has remained an unwavering defender of doctor-patient rights, direct primary care, and patient safety. Along with Drs. Apter and Marik, she successfully sued the FDA–and won; resulting in the take down of the infamous “Seriously y’all - Stop It” tweet from the FDA regarding ivermectin. She has fought to make safe, affordable, generic drugs readily available over-the-counter, and was actively involved in the recent medical freedom “wins” in Arkansas and Idaho.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and, Dr. Joseph Varon are 2 of our country's greatest medical freedom heroes. We can be proud of them both, and proud of Texas for honoring Mary's exemplary dedication, hard work and unwavering commitment to her patients, to the primacy of the doctor/patient relationship and to medical freedom.
We also owe Mary a HUGE debt of gratitude for her courage and tenacity in successfully suing the FDA, and helping to give Ivermectin the prominent visibility that was tragically so long overdue.
i remember watching Dr. Mary on the news, standing tall and firm when the state medical folks were tearing into her. She was then, and remains, a courageous and dedicated doctor. This honor is certainly overdue and well deserved.
