Dr. Marcel Diennets adventure in the field of malnutrition started during the Biafran war in 1968, when he was with the International Red Cross.
Landing on a street in Biafra with a cargo plane filled with 3 tons of food and medication and with the commission to heal the isolated starving children suffering from Malnutrition and Kwashiorkor disease, Dr. Diennets party proceeded to feed them immediately. Within hours the children who had eaten began to die.

Overwhelmed with horror, the young men proceeded to perform the necessary task of autopsy on victims to ascertain the cause of death, regardless of the dangerous cultural implications that desecrating a body would cause in rural Africa. They discovered that when they compressed the liver and heart tissues in their hands, it turned to powder.

Dr. Diennet realized that starvation produced a hormonal imbalance which weakened these organs to the extent that food could not be metabolized.
Now, the Doctor saw the true nature of the problem:
He needed to correct the children’s hormonal imbalance before feeding them. So, they gave the children hormone boosting medicines. No more children died that day.

For the next three years Dr. Diennet continued to treat victims of malnutrition in the third world, and criminals in prison who were on hunger strikes. In 1971, Dr. Diennet volunteered to go to Vietnam with the US Army and with the help of many G.I.s built a 150-bed hospital for crippled orphans. The hospital is still in existence today and has grown to be one of the largest Children’s hospitals in Vietnam. When the Communists took over Saigon, they forced Dr. Diennet to leave and he returned to Paris.
In spite of his accomplishments with victims in the third world people and their horrific conditions, his peers refused to acknowledge his achievements and would not recognize him as a qualified doctor for white people.

Hurt by the loss of his hospital, rejected by his peers, and financially destitute, Dr. Diennets only option at this time was to open an office in Paris to prove his credibility.
Because there was no malnutrition in Paris, he decided to treat the disorder of obesity because he knew that the same rules would apply, in the reverse.

Through his research, he found that there are 29 different pure hormonal imbalances, and that one person can have many at once, making a case more complex.
He understood that to be successful in the treatment of weight-gain and obesity, he needed to determine the cause of the hormonal imbalance.

Dr. Diennet says that for each different diagnosis he needs a different formula.
This posed a problem, because if there were millions of overweight people he would need millions of formulas, which would be impossible to hold in his memory.
That is why he started to enter all of his knowledge into his computer, because a computers memory is unlimited.

Keep in mind; this was in 1978, long before the widespread use of computers (even before the wide-spread use of Microwaves.) Today when a case is entered into his computer, it automatically refers to the data of all previous cases since 1978, which enables the computer to create a new formula for each individual.

Dr. Diennet became the most successful physician in Paris, now treating a clientele from around the world, including royalty, the famous, and the not so famous. However, he treats each and every case with same specific care and expertise, determined to improve your body and your life.
