Lawrence Broxmeyer MD, is currently an internist and medical researcher. He was on staff at New York affiliate hospitals SUNY Downstate, Cornell and New York University for approximately 14 years. In conjunction with colleagues in San Francisco and at the University of Nebraska, he first pursued, as lead author and originator, a novel technique to kill AIDS mycobacteria and tuberculosis with outstanding results (see The Journal of Infectious Diseases 2002 Oct 15; 186[8]:1155-60). Recently he contributed a chapter regarding these findings to Sleator and Hill’s textbook Patho-biotechnology, published by Landes Bioscience. In addition he has written many peer reviewed articles, available on PubMed of The US library of Medicine- National Institutes of Health at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=broxmeyer%20L Dr Broxmeyer’s research covers the most challenging medical problems of our times, including AIDS, Alsheimer’s and now autism.
You might say that Dr. Broxmeyer is a student of medical history as well. Broxmeyer thinks that , the UK’s Dr. Milton Wainwright, Senior Lecturer in Microbiology at the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Sheffield ,writing in Microbiology Today in 2000 had a point.
University libraries all over the world, said Wainwright are full of old scientific journals and books, left unread to gather dust. They are ignored, said Wainwright, largely because most scientists and doctors think that anything that is more than, say, 10 years old is not worth bothering with. “Here, however, offered Wainwright, “I want to suggest that these journals represent a huge resource of untapped knowledge, a view substantiated by numerous examples of where discoveries turn out to be independent rediscoveries.”
And of all the forgotten papers, stressed Wainwright, those relating to the cause or etiology of a disease are likely to be the most important. Dr. Broxmeyer couldn't agree more.
Wainwright goes into the reasons for important old literature being ignored. Perhaps the study was singular in its material and may have just been overlooked. Or discoveries may have been dismissed because of the opposition from a single influential person. “The minor unwritten law of science”, said Dr. Wainright, “that ‘one negative result (or a few) often outweighs many positives’ often operates. The ‘but everyone knows it is wrong’ response is often used by people who have not even read the relevant literature.” Wainwright, for instance wondered how much suffering could have been prevented, had Helicobacter pylori’s causal role, and bismuth compounds effectiveness in stomach ulcers been noted from the old literature and solved before the mid 1980’s. But the connection, made long ago, was never picked-up until then.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning", once said a famous physicist. And it can also be said that physician/researcher Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D. never has. A licensed physician in Pennsylvania, Originally an alumnus the University of Southern California, where he took a pre-medical curriculum, Dr. Broxmeyer attended medical school at Far Eastern University School of Medicine, earning his MD. Having completed his residency training at Wyckoff Heights Hospital in Brooklyn, Lawrence Broxmeyer treated many of the victims of America’s coastal AIDS crisis, admitting many as service patients into hospital wards. Unsatisfied with current treatment and AIDS hypothesis, he then conducted research in collaboration with colleagues from other universities, studying and developing a novel treatment of AIDS mycobacteria, the primary infectious cause of death in AIDS. During this time, Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer also served as an Internist at affiliates of SUNY Downstate Medical Center, the NYU Langone Medical Center, and the New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer has an extensive list of publications listed at PubMed at the U.S. National Library of Medicine. One topic Broxmeyer explored thoroughly was the bacteriophage, specifically a technique using mycobacteriophages (viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts), which are delivered via a non-virulent mycobacterium, as a method of therapy for intracellular mycobacterial pathogens in the blood of AIDS patients. This study showed exponential killing in excess of currently used treatments for eliminating Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
