Scientific Advisory Board

Rustum Roy, Ph.D - Chairman

Rustum Roy is one of the world's leading materials scientists. He has been elected to five National Academies of Science/Engineering of the most significant technological countries - the U.S., Russia, Japan, Sweden and India. He founded both the Materials Research Laboratory and the Science Technology and Society program at Penn State University, both of which became national and world leaders in their fields. He was the principal architect of the Materials Research Society, as the world's leader in interdisciplinary research. For the last 20 years, he has spent half his time bringing together the many different groups representing the world's wisdom on the healing of the body, mind and spirit under the banner of the non-profit Friends of Health. Author of over 1,000 papers and books, his latest work has been the definitive research on the myriad structures of water that has destroyed the 200-year-old myth that water cannot be changed. And, incidentally explains the past, present and potential healing properties of water - and with it the core critique against homeopathy. Friends of Health has for the last decade worked assiduously to bring together, to network, and to collaborate in all ways possible the major national bodies or institutions representing providers, researchers, and journalists concerned with any aspect of whole person healing, integrative healing, complementary alternative medicine or related terms. Roy is also the Host of Whole Person Healing, Body, Mind and Spirit, on the Health & Wellness Channel of VoiceAmericaTM, the Internet Radio show.

Joie P. Jones, Ph.D

Joie Jones received the BA and MA degrees in physics and applied mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin (1963 & 1965) and the PhD degree in physics from Brown University (1970). Since 1977, he has been Professor of Radiological Sciences and Physics at the University of California Irvine. His list of publications contains over 400 items, including 4 books and 50 patents.

Dr. Jones has a wide range of professional interests, which include medical imaging and studies of the relationships between science, technology, and society, including the relationships between Eastern and Western medicine.

In recent years, Dr. Jones has become interested in the critical evaluation of both diagnostic and therapeutic medicine modalities, particularly in the areas of complementary and alternative medicine and subtle energy medicine. His landmark studies of acupuncture using contemporary medical imaging and of Pranic Healing using conventional laboratory methods are providing a scientific understanding and basis for these ancient healing methods.

G. Patrick Flanagan, M.D., Ph.D.

In 1958, at the age of fourteen, Flanagan invented the Neurophone an electronic nervous system excitation device that transmits sound through the skin directly to the brain, for which he received U.S. patent no.3,393,279in 1968. The invention earned him a profile in Life magazine, which called him a "unique, mature and inquisitive scientist". Flanagan has continued to develop the neurophone and it is currently being sold as an aid to speed learning.

Flanagan at age eleven developed and sold a guided missile detector to the U.S. military, aged seventeen gained his air pilot's license and was employed by a Think Tank at The Pentagon, and later as a consultant to the NSA, CIA, NASA , Tufts University, the Office of Naval Research, and the Aberdeen Proving Grounds for the Department of Unconventional Weapons and Warfare

During the 1970s, Flanagan became a leader in studying the science behind the Great Pyramid of Egypt, and its key technology base in Phi or the Golden ratio and its being aligned with the magnetic poles of the earth. While widely regarded then by mainstream science as a New Age pseudoscience, then it is widely accepted now, especially after Mandelbrot's development of Fractal science.

Since 1981 Flanagan has invented a series of useful devices and products based on water and specific mineral structures, in the area of health. Several of these have been very successful in the marketplace.

His identification of the special properties of the negative hydride ion while once ridiculed got serious attention when the Nobelist Chandrasekhar proposed it as a major component in far space. Several scientific papers by Flanagan, about Silica Hydride have been published in peer reviewed journals such as the 'International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, and 'Free Radical Biology and Medicine.

Flanagan actively continues his activities as scientist and inventor and philanthropist, promoting the really new science and new approaches to human healing, especially those based on the great traditions of India and Egypt.

Claude Swanson, Ph.D

Dr. Claude Swanson was educated as a physicist at MIT and Princeton University. During those years he worked at the MIT Science Teaching Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory and a Virginia cyclotron in the summer. At Princeton he received the National Science Foundation Fellowship and Putnam Fellowship. His Ph.D. thesis at Princeton was done in the "Gravity Group," which focuses on experimental cosmology and astronomy, and was headed by Dr. Robert Dicke. His thesis advisor was Prof. David Wilkinson, who later became chairman of the physics department.

Dr. Swanson conducted postgraduate work at Princeton and Cornell Universities on the design of superconducting plasma containment vessels for fusion energy systems. He then began work for Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton, a consulting company, and later formed his own consulting company which carried out studies in applied physics for commercial and governmental agencies, including DuPont, United Technologies, the U.S. Army and Navy, DARPA and the CIA, among many others.

For the last twenty years, interspersed with his conventional professional career in applied physics, Dr. Swanson has pursued investigations into "unconventional physics." His principal interest has been unified field theory, the so-called "Theory of Everything" which could explain the universe at the deepest possible level. This has led him to investigate a wide variety of unusual phenomena, many of which relate to "anomalous phenomena" connected with healing and the energy of consciousness.

This research indicates that there is a new force not presently included in Western science, but which has long been recognized in oriental medicine. The inclusion of this new force can lead to far reaching advances in science, and a deeper understanding of the power of human consciousness. He has written two books summarizing his findings so far. The first is titled The Synchronized Universe, and the latest, just being published, is Life Force: The Scientific Basis, Poseidia Press (2009).

Dr. Swanson has conducted extensive research in these areas, including research of the scientific literature, interviews with scientists in these fields, attended and spoken at conferences, and conducted experiments and investigations, to better understand how such paranormal phenomena can be incorporated into modern science.

This research has involved underwater archaeology in Bimini, scientific measurements in haunted houses, experiments in remote viewing and psychokinesis, and testing of new devices which can measure these strange forces. He has just published a book, The Synchronized Universe, which summarizes some of the new discoveries of this emerging science.

Stephen A. Levine, Ph.D

Dr. Stephen Levine is recognized internationally as one of the innovative leaders in nutritional supplement development, as a lecturer, and for his retail and medical publications and his classical text in the area of free radical biochemistry.

He has been Chairman of the Board of Allergy Research Group® (ARG) since founding the company in 1979 until its recent sale to Kikkoman, an international multi billion dollar company. In 1980 he founded the company's subsidiary, Nutricology. He has written and published a highly regarded quarterly newsletter, contributed numerous lay and professional articles in nutritional science and wrote a classic text book Antioxidant Adaptation: Its Role in Free Radical Pathology, by Levine and Kidd published in 1985. The text played a critical role of integrating diverse biochemical, physicogical and medical data and functioned to change the existing paradigm in disease causation to more of a unifying field theory involving oxidative damage and inflammation. In September of 2008 the company was sold to Kikkoman International, (The largest producer of Soya Source in the World) and Dr. Levine continues in his research and development capacity.

Before founding ARG, Levine held senior research positions at three other companies.

Dr. Levine received his doctorate in Molecular Genetics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1976. He also holds a B.A. cum laude in biology from the State University, Buffalo, New York. He lives in Marin County, California with wife Susan and their two children.
