About Us

Mission Statement

The Inflammation Research Foundation was founded in 2003 by Dr. Barry Sears as a non-profit foundation dedicated and committed to providing resources and funds for both education and medical research projects on the use of highly effective nutritional approaches for the treatment of chronic diseases associated with inflammation in adults and children.

Goals

Our primary goal is the funding of applied clinical research studies that can generate significant short-term clinical benefits using new nutritional interventions to manage chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune, and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. All of these chronic diseases are characterized by increased inflammatory responses that can be moderated by appropriate nutritional interventions.

The unique aspect of this foundation is that donors have the opportunity to determine which general chronic disease areas that they would like their donation to be applied to for current and projected clinical studies.

Guiding Principle

As we move forward into the 21st century, we are at the crossroads in terms of how we treat chronic disease, retard the aging process, and reach our full genetic potential. The Inflammation Research Foundation plans to demonstrate the efficacy of using medically validated nutritional interventions that significantly alter a number of chronic disease conditions that are both life-altering and life-threatening. It is our principal objective to provide the on-going research support that argues forcibly for the use of medically-validated nutritional interventions that can be immediately and routinely applied for reversing the crippling effects associated with life-threatening chronic diseases.
