Biography
Dr. Dana F. Flavin
Prof(hon), Dr. Med Univ, M.S.
Born in Chicago as the youngest child of Dr. and Mrs. Byron Flavin. Both parents studied Medicine and their excellent example of compassion and devotion to duty made a lasting impression on Dr. Flavin’s life. Her continuous education in Science and Medicine has helped her to find and improve therapies for many diseases including Cancer, Autoimmune diseases such as Graves thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis and viral diseases.
She received her first degree in Psychology and Chemistry from Loyola University in 1972 and then began graduate school in Pharmacology at Chicago Medical School. After 4 years and part I of her Medical Boards, she was appointed Science Assistant to the Associate Bureau Director for Toxicology at the Food and Drug Administration in Washington D.C. During this time she researched the Molecular Biology of Cancer and Tumor Promotion investigating the application of Translational Medicine into potential therapies for cancer. She then was appointed Science Advisor to the President of the Nutrition Foundation and began graduate studies at Howard University in Nutrient Biochemistry under the Department of Nutrition. Several years later with summa cum Laude in Nutrition she moved to Germany and began her studies in Medicine for completion of her M.D. degree in Innsbruck, Austria, including years devoted to research.
Dr. Flavin was exposed to the traumas of illness early in her life when her father suffered a stoke leaving him partially paralyzed and without sufficient health insurance.
She was 15 at the time. One year later, she herself suffered Epileptic seizures following a mild brain injury. The illness was treated with heavy medication for several years until it was found to be completely cured. At age 20, she was admitted into the hospital for a breast tumor which was removed and found to be benign but one of a type that 15% could, over time, have become malignant. Nine months later, she broke her neck in an automobile accident, leaving her in a hospital bed for 6 months. During this time she took additional reading courses for her degree. She had a Plexiglas table made so she could read lying down, since she was unable to walk or sit up until the vertebrae were fused with an operation. She was greatly influenced by the suffering in the Neurology department around her in Mercy Hospital for those six months and aware of her good fortune to be able to walk out on her own without paralysis. She realized the brain cancer patients she had met would not go home. This is what started her devotion to help patients with illnesses and to relieve suffering and find cures.
Dr. Flavin recently began the Foundation for Collaborative Medicine and Research in Greenwich Connecticut to teach colleagues and patients what she has learned from around the world in areas of medicine and of nutrition and nutrients in fighting diseases.
She is also helping find and develop new cutting-edge therapies from around the world for cancer, diabetes, and many other diseases. Her successes include developing a new therapy for Mononucleosis that cures children in 24 hours, Published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, 2006, and a therapy for breast cancer patients that reverses brain metastases within 3 months, published in the Journal of Neuro-oncology, 2007. She is continuously searching for new therapies, both conventional and complementary. She has found therapies for multiple sclerosis after proof that it is a pathogen, not an autoimmune disease. She has prevented the development of AIDS by blocking the destruction of the lymphocytes by the HIV virus. She has many more discoveries that are yet to be published. Her cancer therapy has reversed stage IV cancers that were abandoned by the Oncologists as therapied out, including: Breast cancer, Melanoma,
Lung Cancer, Colon cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and many more. She says there is still more work to be done and much more to learn.
“There is always a Treatment, we just have to find it” is her motto and she has devoted her life to help mankind in every way possible to relieve suffering, find cures and bring back hope to the hopeless and health to those who were dying.
Philosophy
Why I Wrote my e-Books?
The people came to me in despair. Some would sit proudly, not showing how much they had suffered (except the wringing of their hands). Some cried. Some sat motionless, feeling abandoned and hopeless.
Each and every one was suffering; physically, mentally and emotionally. They asked me for assistance, since no medication helped them or the side effects were too strong. Rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, Grave’s disease and more. It was all so new to me.
What could help when traditional medications failed? Where would I begin? For many days, I was overwhelmed and unsure. My own father was in a coma for months when I was only 15. I watched him suffer for 22 years, paralyzed in a wheelchair until he died of cancer. How could I ever say no to these people?
I once had grand mal seizures and was heavily medicated, leaving me with a zero quality life. That was followed by a breast tumor and six months later, a broken neck. This forced me to lie in a hospital for 6 months, unable to move for fear of further damage. I watched my mother die a long and agonizing death from viral hepatitis. How could I say no to these people who knew suffering as I did?
Each patient marked a new beginning. I researched thousands of articles for the mechanism of toxicity in their illness so I could potentially help them. I saw that certain vitamins and nutrients at the proper dosage and combination could regulate and inhibit these toxicities. I tested these nutrients on patients who were both courageous and desperate to find a new way to relieve their suffering.
After years of studying, reading, testing and retesting (as well as prayers and hope as my guide), we found success. (I say “we“ because each and every patient who had faith in my work helped not only themselves with their determination and courage, but many others over the long run.)
I thank each patient, scientist and physician who researched these areas of toxicity to help me find a way to stop suffering and once again, give these wonderful human beings a joy to be alive.
My deepest gratitude to my family and friends who stood by me through the trying years of learning and research. This book is dedicated to all of my colleagues and patients who asked me to share my years of research and experience, tested by myself and many other physicians in private practices and clinical settings.
I wish to share our collective work in the areas of autoimmune and viral diseases with the world to give others hope, once again.
