The first publication by future medicine that models detection of causes and cure of chronic illness is Medical Detective: A Memoir of Human Extinction by founding author Beth Alderman, M.D.M.P.H. This narrative detective story recounts the author’s thirty year self case study and N of 1 preventative and curative interventions. The results included the diagnosis Alderman Syndrome, or chronic ambient poisoning, and the recognition that poisoning in everyday life is affecting humans as well as other species. This book therefore models the use of personal case studies in reversal of emerging epidemics of chronic illness such as “chronic fatigue syndrome” and other ill defined late modern ailments including depression and neurotoxicity.
