3rd International Conference on
Diabetes and Metabolism

Most of Dr. Daniel Belluscio's medical career has been devoted to the study of the hCG method for weight loss and research in Integrative Medicine. He spent 12 years at Bellevue Klinik-Switzerland, an institution with the most impressive record of patients treated with hCG. He has travelled extensively, lecturing on the method in the United States, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Mexico and Israel. In 1987, Dr. Belluscio founded the Oral hCG Research Center, an institution for the research of obesity and its comorbidities. Records show that the Center has used the oral hCG approach in 6,540 patients to date. In 1991, it developed a protocol for the oral administration of hCG, which has been shown to be effective in a series of double-blind studies. Together with Dr. Vogt, chief of Bellevue Klinik, he published several reports on the method for health professionals and articles on the subject for the general public.

Gerald C. Hsu received an honorable PhD in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. He attended different universities over 17 years and studied 7 academic disciplines. He has spent 20,000 hours in T2D research. First, he studied 6 metabolic diseases and food nutrition during 2010-2013, then conducted his own diabetes research during 2014-2018. His approach is a “quantitative medicine” based on mathematics, physics, optical and electronics physics, engineering modeling, signal processing, computer science, big data analytics, statistics, machine learning, and AI also known as “math-physical medicine”. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control you have.
