Jackson GI Medical Company 200 Grandview Ave. Camp Hill, PA 17011 717-350-9208 Chairman & Founder: Frank W.

He is the founder of several companies, including Jackson GI Medical, Chek-Med and Meducate. Dr. Jackson leads our product development and medical research efforts. In his own words: About Dr. Frank W. Jackson The Past: My undergraduate college was Princeton University. Medical school and subsequent gastroenterology training were at Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania respectively. While in practice, I began to write patient education articles in my field of gastroenterology including many on diets, diseases, drugs and procedures. I expanded this writing into general health essays as well. All of this material, over 1,000 pages my web master tells me, was placed on my practice web site at gicare.com for my patients. $0 $0 Much to my amazement, this patient education section became one of the most popular and frequently visited medical practice web sites on the internet. I shook my head in surprise and retired, leaving the practice to my son and his colleagues. However, it nagged at me that I had created a portal for so many people and I felt I still had so much to say. The Now: Retirement, however, was a notable failure. I simply could not leave my interests in the medical field. Always an advocate of dietary intelligence, I found myself researching more and more into the food fiber and prebiotics field. Prebiotics are the plant fibers we eat that are used by the colon's bacteria to grow and produce many health benefits. Probiotics, on the other hand, are those beneficial bacteria that are put into yogurt, other dairy products and now a variety of pills. In particular, I was impressed at the steady decline of fiber in the Western diet over the past hundreds of years at the same time that the GI diseases of Western civilization were increasing - diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and colon polyps and cancer. Was this a coincidence? We don't really know yet, but there are some intriguing bits of evidence being uncovered, suggesting this may be the case. So, in my spare time I have decided to bring the field of prebiotics to the public, using this new web site, jacksongi.com. I have written all the materials you will find here. All of this information, as well as our products, are what I would term medically credible.
