: About Me

I am a medical anthropologist and the director of the Institute for the Study of Culturogenic Disease, located in Hawaii. My eclectic background in biochemistry, anthropology, and medicine has led me to develop a unique way of approaching disease and prevention. I try to discover the cultural/lifestyle causes of disease. This allows people to prevent (and begin to cure) disease by eliminating the lifestyle cause. Changing your lifestyle is risk-free and cost-free, and often threatens the industries making money on those lifestyles, which is why much of our work is suppressed, although there are cracks in the wall! We are best known internationally for our research linking breast cancer with the wearing of tight bras, discussed in our bestseller book, Dressed To Kill.
I live on a coqui frog sanctuary and nature preserve in Hawaii with my wife and co-researcher/author, Soma Grismaijer, and our son, Solomon. We live close to nature, off the grid, with our interspecies community or goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, horses, dogs, cats, and our wild animal friends.

nature, animals, discovering something new

Why I write ...

Should the government offer nationalized healthcare, or should it stay private? Will we be free to choose our own healthcare provider? Should health insurance be mandatory? These questions, however, are...
