| Introduction | Dr. Frank Jackson had been a practicing gastroenterologist in Pennsylvania for more than 30 years when he started the patient information web site gicare.com in the 1990s. Without any promotion, the site has attracted four million unique visitors per year. After retiring from private practice, Dr. Jackson studied a growing body of new research about prebiotics and the microbiota of the colon. The implications were profound. Many research volunteers have seen noticeable improvements in their health by using prebiotics. Dr. Jackson founded Jackson GI Medical to teach consumers, physicians and hospitals about this new field, provide relevant products, and help patients take an active part in being healthy. A former president of the Pennsylvania Society of Gastroenterology, Dr. Jackson also has an interest in heart health and was founder of the first commercial cardiac rehabilitation program in the United States in the 1970s. He is an inventor of many medical devices in GI and other fields. |
