Initial research will focus on four main areas.

1. Weight Loss And Obesity

   Redefining the accepted scientific view of the nature of hunger, differentiating toxic hunger stemming from withdrawal of endogenous wastes from symptoms of true hunger, the body's efforts to protect its muscle mass from being utilized for fuel. This new scientific understanding of hunger explained by Dr. Fuhrman can have a major impact on improving weight management and obesity. This is to be started immediately as soon as preliminary funding begins and should be completed within one year.
2. Chronic Disease

   Studying the effects of high micronutrient diets, also called high nutrient density diet on the management of various diseases, especially heart disease, diabetes, lupus, chronic headaches and acne. Immediately, we will begin publishing successful case studies in series by condition, as well as institute a trial for diabetes with a control group following the American Diabetes Association diet. The case studies should be started immediately and could becompleted within 6 months. One or two of the disease-specific diets with control groups could be started within one year and completed within two to four years.
3. Managing Healthcare

   Showing the overall reduction in health care costs, reduced medication use and improvement in risk factors using the Eat For Health model teaching high nutrient eating to a given population and seeing the potential to influence people to make major modifications in their eating habits and other disease-causing behaviors. This study could be also started within a corporate setting within one year and the results publishable within 3 years.
4. Unique Hardships

   Supporting individuals who choose dietary interventions over traditional drug treatments to successfully combat disease and are left facing unusual medical experiences and expenses.
