Dr. Benson is a self-described truth-seeker with a strong social conscience who believes in working hard and creating beauty wherever he stops. His hope is to make the world a more understandable and healthier place.

What Dr. Benson has discovered is a paradigm shift in the way of looking at allergic and autoimmune diseases. His book, 'On the Origin of Diseases,' further explains the cause of these afflictions and goes even further to give the reader helpful direction as to how they too can move away from treating only the symptoms to treating the causes with the hope of a cure.

As is common to people who are ahead of their time, Dr. Benson has experienced opposition. This book is the accumulation of his knowledge and it is because of Dr. Benson’s strong social conscience that is presented here.
