Life-Systems Engineering: The New Science of Maximizing Desired Results by Working Cooperatively with the Natural Processes of Living Systems

 

*I have to acknowledge Brian Peskin as my prime inspiration for this web site and my intense desire to learn more about the science of health. It is my ongoing work with Brian that provided all of the information contained on this web site. I've assisted Brian for several years now in his research and study and what I've gained is invaluable to me. I share it here in the hope that others will learn and gain from it what I have!

Brian Peskin has been a blessing to my, my family and many of my friends

Brian's masterpiece: The Hidden Story of Cancer, is now available to order from his website! brianpeskin.com/orderhiddenstory.html


Brian Peskin is considered by many to be one of the most trusted authorities on health and nutrition in the world. 'Science-- not opinion' is Brian's trademark. Brian graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in electrical engineering in 1979. In 1995 he founded the field of Life-Systems Engineering Science bringing engineering into the field of human physiology and biochemistry to make astounding advances in health. His sheer number of accomplishments during the last decade of the 20th century and into the 21st century are unprecedented and uniquely designate him as the #1 authority in the world of what really works and why.

Dr. James Douglas, former President, Texas Southern University had this to say about Brian's accomplishments and his science: "We are honored to have Professor Peskin* as a member of the faculty. His nutritional discoveries and practical applications through Life-Systems Engineering [Science] are unprecedented."

* Brian Peskin received an appointment as an Adjunct Professor at Texas Southern University in the Department of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (1998-1999)
