RPI becomes Amerca's top 25 (reporter interview)
Q. Can you tell us what was special about your experience at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?
A. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) gave me an incredible foundation and network base that was beyond imaginable.
Q. How would you compare the coursework and the hours you spent learning?
A. RPI was a very difficult place and getting an A was very hard to do! There was much learning and the fact that this was an engineering school meant that you had to really know what you were doing because engineers are very exact and they are about thoroughness.
Q. How do you feel about your undergraduate being named as an Ivy League School?
A. I feel really happy for my undergraduate institution and their faculty. However, RPI has always been clearly one of the leaders in training top scientific and engineering minds with a strong basis in ethics and compassion. Today, RPI has been discovered by more top students who don't want to waste their 4 years on a bad bet. They want solid performance. For US News & Newsweek to state that RPI is one of America's top 25 schools is wonderful but we always had our best kept secret: the biggest bang for our hard earned dollars! To be rated as an Ivy Leaguer and America's top 25 universities is a nice shot of confidence for the entire RPI student body.
Q. Would you recommend RPI to other students?
A. Absolutely, RPI is an incredible place, "this place changed my life and it will help you realize your dreams!" Going there gave me a position play with Pfizer, Merck (about), Estee Lauder, Shiseido and Shu Uemura. I keep reaping the benefits of having gone to RPI and it has already been over 15 years since I started my freshmen year (1992).
Q. Would you be willing to disclose your academic scores from RPI for transparency?
A. Sure. In the current role I play as a consultant for international food safety and other teaching institutions, nothing is private anymore. Here you go:
RPI Undergraduate Transcript part1
RPI Undergraduate Transcript part2
Bachelors of Science Diploma (Summa Cum Laude, Class of 1997)
Q. What are you most amazed about RPI?
A. There were so many amazing things such as preparing me to face the real world (both the ups and the downs). Specifically, they had this very special program called Professional Leadership Program (PLP) and it helped prepare me for future opportunities that required leadership, teamwork, corporate experience and networking. Both PLP and RPI really helped me: becoming a thorough doctor, getting published internationally, world patent, and international public media.
Q. Have you been back to RPI since you graduated and what did you do there?
A. I am more than willing to help any student because I was helped by other students (this is RPI tradition -pass on the goods). Mentoring is very important because it reminds us what it was like to be an undergraduate. I advised a few students in 2004 that PLP was really missing a PLAN and the rest is history.
Q. In two words, how would you describe RPI?
A. Dream School (eh hem: your dreams really will come true!)

From Geekdom to Freedom (notes from Dr. Chiu)
Today, I was asked by an interviewer when was my earliest accomplishment in media? My answer was 1998 with knowledge and without knowledge in 1996. I was working on a "combinatorial approach to creating solid phase transition state analogs on resin acrylates" and this Mitsunobu reaction worked and I had gotten a paper on novel discoveries.
Although this was not mass media, it was relevant within the scientific community. In geekdom terms, it is very, very important to get one of these before you turn thirty. And if by chance you get this before you graduate college?! Well, this is very powerful and you get recognized by fellow nerds and geeks globally. So technically since the discovery was made prior to graduation (this is how they count it), I qualified to be super-geek and super-nerd.
But the geek-a-thon continues (because things just never end). In 1998-1999, my contributions prior to getting a Masters of Science led to a patent filed under the world intellectual property organization (WIPO).
but as you bloggers know, I left geek-land and awoke from my geek-dream into a reality nightmare on 11 September 2001 followed by 16 January 2002. For most of you, 1/16 doesn't mean anything compared with 9/11 but for me it did. If only the Jewish community knew how a red ocean hospital treated Mrs. Stein or Mr. Hurewitz or the poor Rabbi Wartenberg!! I went in blind to all of this. When you visit the medical school/institution website you saw very much the same information you see today: picture perfect -one of the nation's leading best!
And yes, because I scored top, I got access to US gov't Dollars and taxpayer funds to learn from this place but my grant (1M USD) was to be controlled by Mount Sinai. In 2003, I was selected to do some work for the American Medical Association in Washington DC as well as a project on bioterrorism and learned that family doctors were already throwing in the towel on healthcare. After coming back from Washington DC, the very next year I left Mount Sinai and transferred my credits to University of Bridgeport (see other blogs). Mount Sinai could keep the remainder of the funds and I can still become a doctor.
A few years of peace and quiet and look what's happening right now? And like Lehman Brother's disappearing act: off the planet causing lots of headline attention so did my work as a dairy consultant on the melamine issue. I was one of the few who pointed out the melamine/cyanuride doesn't just cause kidney problems, it also causes cancer (article1, article2). You see, Aldrich is not going to put cancer suspect agent if it didn't frequently cause cancer amongst other things such as kidney damage. For the nutritionist that you see on article2 to avoid this subject is because she was trying to play both sides.
The medical excuse filed at Mount Sinai was that 9/11 had impacted me heavily and this resulted in me having to leave medicine. If you look at my academics after I left Mount Sinai and compared it to my past academics, scoring all three 10's on the AMCAS, and the two years afterwards in University of Bridgeport (transcript1/transcript2) ... you know that a fast one was pulled on the public. They never assumed that I would transfer and become a naturopathic doctor. No one did.
Well ... almost no one. My recommendation letters were written by some really good medical professors that gave me raving reviews and yes, I did contact Senator O'Toole who had supported me in the past to help me as well. What's a geek to do in such a situation (google search: mount sinai hospital financial turmoil)? Oh and to really give credit to a man that appeared in my life at a very down moment, this was Professor Michael Cox (he taught me things about businesses that I never thought were possible) and he shed light on my situation and helped me to gain foresight on what a man must do. While founding a university that would be accredited only in the Cayman Islands, Professor Cox was dying of a brain tumor. For two years (2004-2006), he personally spent time calling me while he should have been healing. He changed me from being a geek to learning to be a gentleman. He poured substantial knowledge into me but refused to answer any questions related to why the school was only accredited in the Cayman Islands. But before he died, he answered me with this ... the approaches, the business tactics and the methodology would never be accepted elsewhere. Do you only date women who appear in Time magazine or are you willing to try some other rating systems? (part of another story, for another time).
After 2003, I was lucky with more than just a few connections (see video). Yes, I could have reported this to the hospital ombudsman (but is there such a thing as privacy and protection ... em' he gets paid where?). In the midst of the turmoil was there a "right" place to go? I ask you if everything is really the way it looks how did Michael Moore find all this dirt on health insurance companies?
Answer: He spoke with the health insurance staff and the patients. The only reason he couldn't get a movie on the real stuff is because there are a number of iron gates that he can't get through because he's not an insider.
The biggest kicker is I had an impeccable record, top scores and learned the greatest gift at a super young age. It is all a bunch of numbers being moved around by people who shouldn't be running the system. Below are public articles on Mount Sinai's Miami Hospital division . . .
I've finally graduated from nerd city/geekdom to freedom!!! One thing I learned from geekland, always keep the evidence online. Read more on this website.

Hypoallergy approach to female products (from the desk of Dr.Chiu)
Trendsetter (What do women and men want?):
Recently, a global trendsetter is showing off your beauty without using make-up and using accessory fashion/leggings/undies etc. Our information is accessable on the website for members only and our casestudy: she has been wanting to be more attractive going out, at clubs and amongst friends (example photos in the museum site).
Hypoallergenic materials
The special bust firming cream/ improvement program and the lingerie will be discussed.
Also take notice of the vibrator photographs. Allergy-free vibrators are a growing trend and I have been asked to start looking over the production and material usage to accomplish allergy free, safer and more contoured devices.
Here you will also see the special opportunity to make an impact on some latest lingerie design materials. My involvement was to be the specialist on choosing allergy-free fabric materials. The other designers ensured it would have a new attractive and stimulating look while I made sure the fibers they chose wouldn't stimulate bacteria or allergies.
A Fact Indeed:
If you stimulate overproduction of bacteria or fungus, the customer can start to develop a raw or strange odor formation. Nylon is not a good fiber choice.

Avoiding Urinary Tract Infections and Reducing Cramping (Dr. Chiu lecture 20th October 2008)
Avoiding chlorine at all costs can lead to reduction in menstrual cramping and minimizing urinary tract infections. Wiping techniques are also critical and it is best to avoid use of chlorinated paper. Chlorine doesn't only lead to vaginal dryness and itching . . . it is also damaging to the ecosystem.
A tribute to my teachers (A personal letter from Dr. Chiu)
On May 28th 1974, I was born into this world. My parents told me that in order to be successful, I must learn and get as many degrees as possible. I must make incredible breakthroughs and contributions or else I am a nobody.
Today, I ask myself it is more important to be at peace as a nobody or to become a somebody who makes others sick? On June 6th, I was accepted into the world's top program (MSTP/NIH/NIGMS) in medicine. Three months later, on the 11th of September 2001 is the day the twin towers came down. The following year Mount Sinai School of Medicine was cited in the New York Times for their liver transplant failures and the hospital was very much in financial trouble.
Looking back, I was experiencing a Bear Sterns or Lehman Brothers or Indymac Bank bankruptcy situation in the medical world. My dermatology research with Dr. Huachen Wei and the work I did with Congress in 2003 became a pivotal year because Asia and my family was hit by SARS. In 2004, I made a heartbreaking decision to transfer out of the MSTP NIH-NIGMS program and move all credits into naturopathic medicine in an attempt to leave New York City. My decision to do this was multi-fold but in great part I found that the clinical setting did not offer any level of healing possible based on what I had learned about post-traumatic stress disorder.
On May 2004, I was accepted into the University of Bridgeport and graduated in May 2006. During this particular time, I met many healers and discovered many problems associated with my past. These videos are some of the truths that I learned regarding the allopathic system that I once belonged to:
My first contribution to creating a novel discovery that would pollute the Earth in unimaginable ways was accomplished in 1996 and the world would only know about it in 1998.
And so as I grew up, I attended top accredited schools and sacrificed my wellness to become that somebody that ended up with academic achievements that did lots of harm. And yet, when one takes the Hippocratic Oath (I took this twice: once in allopathic medicine and a second time in naturopathic medicine), we swear to: do NO harm.
What if the very therapies and approach used in allopathy causes harm? What should we do about the level of food processing, environmental toxins and additives dumped into the ecosystem that cause cancer (i.e. melamine)? How much science is healthy? How much justification should we make?
And therefore, this is a personal letter of thanks to all my teachers and healers that have engaged me to become a better person and to walk a path that coincides with balance, healing and respect for all living systems.
As a modern day motivational speaker and tutor:
1. Balance studying and fun time.
2. Participate some extracurricular activities which you are interested.
3. -不要單靠牢記公式, 要理解公式推斷,運用和擴展 (understand don't purely memorize)
4. Start at Form 3 to prepare for HKCEE. “Good preparation like a marathon needs earlier exposure/training.”
5. 全力以付, 迎接新挑戰 (add oil and find the proper mentor)
6. DHA/EPA should be in comparable ratios (within 2% range) to maximize brain boost, should get from a wild source.
Cost of Cancer (from the desk of Dr. Chiu)
Dear Readers,
How much truth do you really want to know about your health? How many facts are you really interested in knowing?
Click here for the breakdown in cancer costs vs. GDP in USA alone totaling multi-trillions in USD over 30+ years since President Nixon waged the war on cancer.
Film maker Michael Moore decided to do a film named Sicko! (part1) on the problems of insurance and health coverage. This only begins to cover the tip of iceberg. The actual truth is the philosophy of allopathic medicine failed years ago and therefore health insurance companies were created to triage who should be covered vs. who should be rejected. Our noted film maker only focuses on the slips on applications and omitted/oversights of health information leading to rejections but he misses the point that this would only happen when the medical treatments fail to truly help and run such high bills that we had no choice but to regulate.
Afterwards, people who see this film makes comments without really knowing all the facts. If we converted to free universal health care, there would be no one left to truly hide the problems associated with pharmaceutical and medical research.
History:
In 1970s, President Nixon realized that allopathic medicine was collapsing due to multiple failures including resistant bacteria. As a consequence, a "war against cancer" was enacted and an additional multi-trillions was spent on this war for the next 30+ years. This accounted for an increase from 5-6% to 10% of United States GDP followed by a stepwise function to target and reach 20%+ US GDP for the country by 2015. Globally the spending on the war on cancer would become stratospheric with each country following the USA. Allopathic medicine represented western dominance and if word got out on antibiotic resistance/failure, the establishment would fail.
Present:
We are dealing with a systemic failure. It is unsustainable and many things including access to treatment will be denied. How come no one has decided to apply proper funding to schools that teach naturopathic medicine, asian medicines or paleomedicines. What kinds of decisions went into giving multi-trillions to allopathic medicine? It was simply based on dollars and cents of patented medical therapies (i.e. drugs). And now we are paying for it by preaching socialized or christianized medicines. If we only diversified our approaches we would be able to better address our current problems.
Ignored Facts:
Allopathic doctors are so lost because everything that they know to date is being challenged globally. The allopathic system is flawed and escalating numbers of board certified doctors are giving up on what they learned in school.
Indian doctors and American Indian medicine men have all become obese and full of health problems because they too eat processed foods. Yes, they may have one or two solutions passed down from ancient time but this has not been standardized because we never accepted the possibility that their solutions deserved a chance. We immediately decided to negate vital research dollars or funding leaving them to primative answers. And yet we know so little about cancer solutions today. And today, all we have left are folklore, faith and hearsay. Strangely enough, this hearsay is better than what we can buy at a drugstore at least it is your own decision.
