FIM, the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine , a 501 (C) 3 non-profit organization, was established by Stephen L. DeFelice M.D. in 1976. Its primary mission is to rapidly accelerate the discovery of breakthrough medical discoveries, including cures. With the breathtaking rapid advances in modern technology , this objective is now unequivocally realizable.
FIM’s solution, though self-evident, has encountered an almost unbudgeable cultural blind spot. It is as follows:
a) Medical discoveries are primarily made by clinical studies in patients. Insulin and penicillin are undiscovered until administered to patients. Likewise, one cannot go to the Moon unless there’s a rocket or worm hole to take them there.
b) The widespread media coverage of a few unacceptable clinical studies coupled with the rise of Consumerism’s pervasive concern with safety has led to an ingrained suspicion and fear of clinical studies.
c) As a result we have erected barriers where the costs and risks to conduct clinical research are so prohibitive that only well -funded companies and the government can afford to sponsor them.
d) As a result, few promising therapies are evaluated in clinical studies and fewer medical discoveries have been made . The result? Immeasurable unnecessary suffering as well as premature encounters with one’s final hour.
e) The very good news is that times have changed, and we’re giving it another try. Our posts will cover FIM’s half-century efforts to encourage clinical research including Dr DeFelice’s collaboration with Congressman Frank Pallone, Minority Leader of the Energy and Commerce Committee, on the NREA or Nutraceutical Research and Education Act and physician Bill Frist, former Senate Majority Leader, on the Doctornaut Act. 
Updates on potential medical breakthroughs and ways to speed up their development will be covered.
FIM’s Additional Subject Matter Will Deal with The Impact of Technology on Our Mental and Physical Well Being
The first such post will be a video dealing with the Maybe-Ism Triad, a unique argument regarding the Emoji Brain supporting the existence of a Transcendental Being that could be a personal God. The target audience is Gen Z men and women. A free e- book of Dr. DeFelice’s The Emoji Brain in Search of a Personal God will be available as a primer for students and others.
Announcement: All posts are located on the DeFelice Galaxy.
