About the author (2006)

Stephen L. DeFelice, M.D., the founder and Chairman of FIM, the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, has had a very long, distinguished and varied career in medical research and discovery. He was part of the team that brought lithium to the U.S., and it was thanks to his perseverance and research efforts that the life-saving substance, carnitine, first became available. It was back in the late 60’s that Dr. DeFelice first deemed aging to be a disease, and thusly treatable not only in terms of slowing it down, but actually reversing it—a radical thought until very recently. Dr. DeFelice is currently considering a clinical study to attempt to reverse some common mental and physical manifestations of the aging process through the use of a rational mixture of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
