What’s the Project?

Give a short answer. Say more only in response to questions - when there are questions.

1. (Shortest introduction)

The project is to reform medicine, to change medical practice,

to eliminate medical error.

2. (Second shortest introduction)

The project is to reform medicine. There are two goals: to protect people from conventional medicine and to realize the dream of Linus Pauling that a new kind of medicine should be established.

3. (Third shortest intro) Add to the second shortest introduction above:

The first goal is to reduce medical errors and death and disability caused by medical errors. There are now more than a million deaths each year caused by medical errors.

(Later, if asked about this, refer people to the Gary Null Report.)

The second goal is to awaken the public to Linus Pauling’s insight that most non-infectious diseases are caused by biochemical deficiencies.

Biomolecular deficiencies can not be eliminated by drugs - by xenomolecules.

Linus Pauling advocated what he called ‘orthomoleculur medicine’. I call it ‘biomolecular medicine’, the diagnosis and elimination of biochemical deficiencies and imbalances. (Drug analogs just aren’t good enough and they have side-effects.)

4. If asked about the concern with medical error. Explain:

There are two kinds of medical error.

There is the kind where they screw up what they are trying to do.

And, there is a second kind, where they are doing the wrong thing.

5. More about the problem of ‘medical error’.

We are usually not aware of this second kind of error – wrong treatment choice. But, wrong treatment error is even more common than procedural error. Conventional medicine relies almost exclusively on drugs and surgeries.

‘They’ above’ refers to the providers of conventional medicine, providers of all kinds: doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab techs, janitors and other hospital staff.

The second goal, Linus Pauling’s goal, is to take biomolecular medicine mainstream. This is also a concern about medical error. It is concern about error in treatment choice.

The reform of medicine is all about medical error.
