The author was awarded an honorary Ph.D. in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. Over a span of 18 years, he explored seven academic disciplines across seven different universities. He dedicated an additional 24 years to the self-study of internal medicine, food nutrition, and abnormal & behavioral psychology. Since 2010, he has invested over 40,000 hours and reviewed more than 8,000 medical publications, focusing his self-directed research on internal medicine. His work delves into metabolism and immunity, branching into areas such as endocrinology, diabetes, and related complications like cardiology, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, dental health among others. Beginning in 2019, his research expanded to include oncology, geriatrics, and dementia, with a particular emphasis on enhancing longevity through lifestyle-induced metabolic improvements.
His research approach is rooted in the GH-Method: math-physical medicine, emphasizing "precision and quantitative proof". He holds a keen interest in preventive medicine and public health. To his credit, he has authored and published over 1,100 medical papers across more than 100 medical journals.

Comparison of three nations’ food consumption, prevalence of obesity and diabetes, and the author’s food consumption, body weight, and glucose levels using collected data over 15 years and viscoplastic energy models from the GH-Method: math-physical medicine
Category: Food & Health Abstract: During the past 15 years, on average, the author spent 1 month in Europe, 2 months in Japan, 3 months in Taiwan, and 6 months in the USA. These different nations have distinct lifestyles, foods, and societal norms, which either directly or indirectly influence the author’s lifestyle and health status. This article discusses those differences of three selected nations, USA (US), Taiwan (TW), and Japan (JP), particularly food consumption quantity and disease prevalences of obesity and diabetes, in comparison with the author’s personal food intake and health conditions of body weight and glucose levels over past 15 years, from 2010 through 2024.
The United States has one of the most advanced agricultural sectors in the world, characterized by high productivity and extensive use of cutting-edge technology, as discussed in the previous article No. 1137. As a result, Americans enjoy one of the lowest percentages of food expenditure relative to annual income, at just 6.5%. In contrast, most other nations spend a double-digit percentage of their income on food. The second lowest percentage nation is UK which spent 10% of annual income on food. However, this advantage presents a "double-edged sword" for Americans, who consume the highest daily quantity of food per capita, at least compared to 10 other developed nations.
