To have a better
understanding of the era in which I.P.T. was originated, let’s take a moment to
identify the historical moments occurring in Mexico and the rest of the world
when Dr. Donato began to propagate his discovery.
In 1929, our neighboring
country, the United States of America, was facing the “Great Depression” which
lasted until late 1930’s. Till this day, it’s been the biggest economic crisis
ever reported in the history of the U.S.A. which eventually expanded to global
economy. Prices, stock markets fell, salaries where reduced, many industries
and companies were broke, but mostly there was unemployment, many families
where left without a home and food was considerably scarce.
In other parts of the
world, the world began noticing Germany’s situation in the hands of Adolf
Hitler and his nationalistic vision of the pure Aryan race and all the
destruction it had yet to bring upon. Years later, in 1939, World War II
erupted, known as one of the deadliest military conflicts in the history of
humanity, with over 60 million war victims. Even after it had ended, in 1945,
the world would face economic and moral
recuperation for decades to come. And although Mexico had no fundamental participation
in WWII, was also affected by the catastrophic worldwide events.
From 1910 until 1920,
Mexico was dealing with its own internal conflicts from civil wars and The
Mexican Revolution, leaving an estimate of 2 million deaths. A period in which illness,
disease, unemployment, food scarcity and social instability where an every day
life. Many Mexicans preferred to migrate to the United States, to escape
violence in search for a better life, jobs and a more substantial salary.
Understanding these 3 main
historic events we can determine that the pioneering years of I.P.T. where
given in an era of much discord, poverty, scarcity, national and international
instability. On the other hand, life during wartime tends to trigger drastic
survival necessities that, one could say, WWII and the post-holocaustic world
contributed to science and technology. Let us look at an impressive chronology
of technological-scientific discoveries and inventions that opened doors to
other fields, such as medicine:
Among the most prominent we
have:
1922- the isolation of the
hormone Insulin, used to treat diabetes.
1923 - The first Diphtheria
vaccine.
1927 - First vaccine
against tuberculosis and tetanus.
1928 - Discovery of
Penicillin by Alexander Fleming.
1935 - First vaccine
against Yellow Fever.
1937 - First vaccine
against Typhoid.
1943 - Discovery of
antibiotic Streptomycin by Selman A. Waksman.
1953 - Discovery of the DNA
molecule by James Watson and Francis Crick.
1955 - First I.V. vaccine
against Polio.
1962 - First oral vaccine
against Polio.
To mention a few.
But
in this story, the most significant was the isolation of Insulin by Drs.
Banting (Medicine Nobel Prize Winner) and Best from the University of Toronto,
Canada. The combination of this medical discovery, joined with Donato’s grave
necessity to cure his life long pain of gastrointestinal illness, his
determination for survival, that created adequate conditions for a discovery of
these proportions, that even 84 after its invention, continues to be an effective
treatment with international recognition. Both medical and biochemical advances
come to light, more and better medication has been added to the protocol of
these 3 generations of Perez Garcia doctors. We must understand that in the
first phase of I.P.T.’s beginning, antibiotics where not invented yet, nor
accessible in Mexico, nor proper sterilization products, as we know then today.
The process of perfecting this protocol has been a long one. The evolution of
“Insulin Potentiation Therapy” goes hand-to-hand with history’s medical
progress, in each generation of these 3 doctors.
