Our Non Profit Mission:

The mission of the Digestive Health Institute is to improve digestive health through collaborative research, communication and education. DHI's research goals include both basic and clinical research on diet, overall digestive health and specific diseases. Our research findings will be published in peer review journals and other appropriate print and digital media. DHI will conduct charitable and educational activities to promote increased awareness of digestive health issues, research findings and the latest treatments. To support DHI's primary goals, the organization will seek to secure funding through government and local grants, fund raising events, and private donations.

Realizing the vision

The creation of the Digestive Health Institute and the efforts and cost involved in getting the organization up and running is a serious undertaking. But the vision of conducting and supporting cutting edge esearch on digestive health issues is worth the challenge.

Dietary and holistic approaches often times do not involve proprietary products and are generally not patentable. This creates a problem as I see it. Without the large profit margin, fewer corporations (if any) will have an interest in pursuing research into dietary cures.

Yet, as I learn more about holistic and dietary treatments, I am finding that these treatments many times times offer a well balenced overall approach to disease prevention and treatment becuase they have few side effects and frequently focus on the root cause of the disease condition or its prevention instead of the long term treatment of the symptoms.

DHI is a recognized 501(c)3 non profit corporation that accepts charitable donations.
