Thank you for viewing my profile. Why should you circle me? If you're interested in the health of humanity you may want to participate in my G+ stream.
My (Social Science) research encompasses a range of methods in order to analyze a vast wealth of health data. By employing both quantitative and qualitative information encompassing data derived from an in-depth investigation of current scientific and scientific information via current and past (historical) documents. A clear image of our current and future state of health is emerging.
My colleagues and I are involved in the actual collection and dissemination of the data to the public (through several upcoming conferences).
The concept regarding diseases, their causes and proposed cures and or preventative applications in relationship to both physical and mental health is the core component of this research.
If you would like more information about the research (or about me) please contact me via G+ [https://plus.google.com/u/0/114907254818162267650].
Many thanks for your time.

#1 About me: Part 1
I'm an Intellectual Property Analytical Designer, I work with concepts as property. I'm also an independent [scientific] researcher.
You'll find that I have strong opinions on pharmaceutical drugging by the psychiatric profession, especially in children.
I began my love affair with both science and research at a very young age and benefited from a private education that allowed me to audit university courses (of my choice) and the added benefit of private tutors.
It was a unique experience having professors come to my home for High Tea and lessons. I enjoyed being able to 'pick their brains' and have in-depth one-two-one conversations with them.
What surprised me the most was when these professors began lamenting that they felt hindered and unable to fully express their personal opinions to both their peers and their university for fear of being censured.
I realized that if I took a degree, I too would come under fire as I had formed very strong opinions that did not conform to mainstream thought.
This was brought home when one professor began a lesson in String Theory.
I proposed that there may be an unlimited number of components to String Theory. He was shocked and dismayed. This kind and gentle professor advised me to "never repeat the statement in public" or I would be relegated to the bottom of any course I undertook.
Long story short...I decided not to take any degree and scientist's have now decide that there may be an infinite number of components to String Theory...both of these things make me smile.
I'm not often asked for my credentials, but when I am, I must say that I'm very proud to tell them that I'm an autodidact. I worked hard to educate myself and feel that no university could ever have given me what I needed or wanted.

#2 About my research
Over the past few decades I have undertaken in-depth research into several areas including:
Orthomolecular Medicine
Bio-medicine
Bio-chemistry
Pharmacology
The Pharmaceutical Industry
Psychiatry
Cognitive Science
Neuroscience
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
Mental Health and Disorders
Pre-psychosis in children and youth
Parent/Child Development and Education
At the moment I'm preparing several exciting conference packages that will be delivered in late 2012 in Sydney Australia. These conferences will cover a wide range of subjects that will impact on National Health in Australia and I believe that through colleagues associated with the conferences, it will make an impact around the world as well.

#3 About being a Social Entrepreneur:
Now some of you may be asking yourself what is a social entrepreneur?
Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They have the ability to realize concepts, organise them and carry them to fruition. They're ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change.
Rather than leaving social needs to government or community groups alone, social entrepreneurs look for what’s not working and solve the problem by designing [or re-designing] systems to address the issues(s), communicating the solution and persuading others to take up new challenges that will benefit everyone.
Social entrepreneurs have a strong desire to be of service to humanity. They want win-win solutions than make changes in the lives of people that may otherwise never have an opportunity to actively participate in society or to reach their full potential.
I believe that one person can make a difference, especially if they can inspire others to assist in addressing the needs of venerable people who might otherwise slip through the cracks.
In order to fulfill my mission as a social entrepreneur, I needed to find a nonprofit that had the same vision I did. Well, after looking for quite some time I realized that I'd have to put myself on the line and develop one.
Social entrepreneurs aren’t cowards, but having said that, the job was daunting. As luck would have it, I met people that believed in the same vision.
