Decades before MAHA, Scientist-Physicians like myself were working on improving both our understanding of the medical sciences and the treatment of patients.
For decades we have watched the development of several chronic diseases, noting that by the late 1980s, 1/4 to 1/3rd of our children between kindergarten and twelfth grade were obese, had diabetes (mellitus), high cholesterol or high blood pressure. My presentations to the USDA and other government agencies and officials went unheeded.
These diseases, caused by an InflammoThrombotic Immunologic Response (ITIR) to multiple causes [https://www.flemingmethod.com/], ultimately result in these chronic ITIR Diseases (ITIRD) including but not limited to:
Heart Disease
High Blood Pressure
Obesity
Cancer
Autoimmune Disease
Spontaneous Abortion
Infections like HIV, COVID
and more.
“In the sciences the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.” Galileo Galilei
For more than half a century I have been involved in scientific research; some of that in physics, biology, chemistry and psychology. Most of that work however has been in Medical Science - a science not nearly as advanced as Physics - but it's coming along.
​
Pursuit of knowledge in any field requires an objective willingness to accept the truth - even if we don't like what we are being taught. A willingness to forgo our prior beliefs, prejudices and/or ideas as well as the ability to look objectively at outcomes and to accept that knowledge.
​
When I was being trained as a physicist, I was fortunate enough not to have been taught the misinformation of prior generations. My group had no difficulty understanding relativity or anti-matter or laser/maser technologies; because, we did not have to unlearn prior errors in thinking. We were free to simply learn.
​
Today there is much talk about MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN. But we will not do that by using subjective qualitative testing or outdated prejudices/ideas about what we should be eating. Confusion about these diets evolve from people who are either making money or getting attention from selling them to you or are simply angry at others who they disagree with. Greed and anger can be very powerful - albeit misplaced - motivators.
​
We must do more than simply say we are going to be transparent in our examination of evidence - WE MUST ACTUALLY BE TRANSPARENT & OBJECTIVE, measuring outcomes - not trying to find the evidence that will support what we want reality to be.
​
Mistakes of the past must be left in the past or they will become the graves of our future; they will make learning & health impossible.
​
Clearly the addition of food additives must be closely examined to determine what risk they pose; but, in the process we must not be TAKEN advantage of by those selling their snake venom; independent of whether those gimmicks be diets, drugs - prescription, over-the-counter, recreational, et cetera.
Beware the person who tells you others are trying to harm you; but never fear, if you buy their remedy all will be well.
We must not ignore the risk of eating, drinking, smoking practices that decrease our health, while increasing our healthcare costs and bury us in ever increasing numbers.
​
Try not to be TAKEN advantage of.
As you will see, many of these chronic ITIR diseases are diseases we have made worse.
​
As people transitioned from rural to urban lifestyles including changes in our physical and dietary practices, humanity increased the number of years we could lived but we did so at a cost.
​
That cost would be the development of chronic diseases, scientifically known as InflammoThrombotic Immunologic Response Disease [ITIRD].
​
When I enrolled at the University of Iowa College of Medicine at the beginning of the 1980s, the second statement from the Dean to our Medical Class, was that 90% of what we would be taught would ultimately be proven wrong.
​
The Dean encouraged those of us with scientific training and degrees to give up the lucrative lifestyle of clinical medicine and devote ourselves to the pursuit of Medical Science. In essence, to find the errors and advance Medical Science for the good of society and our patients.
​
Those of you who have listened to me lecture, or heard a podcast or interview I have been on, know that my efforts to improve medicine have not come without cost [https://www.flemingmethod.com/about]; advancements in medicine frequently cannot occur without coming up against those who profit by scientific misinformation and/or ignorance.
​
For all of you looking for a longer and better quality of life; this website and the information within it, is the result of many decades of research work.
​
It is a paradigm shift in the practice of medicine and the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
​
The following pages will walk you through published research exposing some of the problems plaguing the Medical Industry AND what we can do to improve the quality of medical care for everyone, from "quantification" of imaging tests, to "measurement" of what treatments work for each person, to "saving" money and lives in the process.
