• Mark Pimentel, MD--Author of A New IBS Solution. Researched, published and pioneered the concept that IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, afflicting up to 60 million Americans and an equivalent number in countries around the world, is caused by SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgowth. SIBO describes the growth of bacteria that are normally present in the colon growing in the small intestine. When you eat foods with certain types of fiber, this can feed the bacteria and cause gas and bloating and either constipation and/or diarrhea. A breathe test can be used to detect hydrogen and/or methane gases given off by these bacteria and treatment is often successful with a special diet and an antibiotic that tends to act locally in the gut, Rifaximin. Dr. Pimentel is the director of the GI Motility Lab and program at Cedars-Sinai medical center in Los Angeles. He has published and continues to research and publish hundreds of papers in peer reviewed scientific journals.((Sources: [185]; [186]; [187])

Ryan is recognized for his work related to the development of new treatments for advanced prostate cancer, as well as supportive care for men with the disease. Ryan, while working at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), was the principal cancer research investigator for the development of abiraterone acetate, sold under the brand name Zytiga among others, as treatment for men diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) without prior chemotherapy. A new medication proved effective in slowing the spread of metastatic prostate cancer, while helping to maintain the quality of life, in patients with advanced disease. The drug was so effective in slowing the spread of metastatic prostate cancer, that those taking the placebo during trials were taken off placebo and given the drug. The treatment is now considered standard of care therapy in multiple forms of advanced prostate cancer that has been administered to hundreds of thousands of prostate cancer patients worldwide. Abiraterone is already used to treat advanced prostate cancer in cases where it has spread to other parts of the body or has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. These trials have shown that using it at an earlier stage, from diagnosis, could be beneficial for patients.
