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, digestive health and digestive disease conditions. 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.

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 not only conventional (medicine-based) research but dietary and holistic (herbs and other natural supplements) research on digestive health issues is worth the challenges.

The reason so many medical treatments center on prescription drugs is because these drugs have patents and allow private companies to profit (sometimes to the extreme). Dietary and holistic approaches often times do not involve proprietary products and are not patentable. As we learn more about holistic and dietary treatments, we are finding that these treatments many times times offer a well balenced overall approach to disease prevention and treatment becuase they frequently focus on the root cause of the disease condition or its prevention instead of the long term treatment of the symptoms.
