Sustaining prevention

Abstract

The Author suggests the reproduction of a Gastroenterology Unit, 4 or 5 people, similar to that he personally directed for over 30 years. One doctor, MD, one nurse and one dietician, all full time engaged in the Unit. I would add a doctor in Physics or Chemistry to increase the objectivity and operate further statistical analyses on findings. The old Unit produced about 100 international articles, hundreds of requests as invited speaker, about hundred awards. Unfortunately, the Unit was suppressed in the year 2000 to give resources to old, established scientists. The Unit is expected to resume the research activity that prof. Ciampolini directed up to the year 2000 and beyond. The cumulated data on excel might be verified, the patients who changed meal pattern and learned Initial Huger Meal pattern (IHMP) might be invited to show habits changes after the learning in the years before 2000. The scientific working of the Unit should maintain an independent position in the prevention of diabetes development and its milestones: functional disorders, vascular diseases and malignancies. International and National Science will evaluate and appreciate the achievements year after year.
