Dr. Richard Fleming
Dr. Richard M. Fleming is a physicist, nuclear cardiologist, and attorney with fifty-three years of research experience. He has spent decades investigating what causes multiple health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. He joined the American Heart Association in 1976 and actively began teaching and researching heart disease; including what causes heart disease and how to accurately find heart disease. In 1994, he presented his original theory on "Inflammation and Heart Disease," published in a cardiology textbook in 1999 and presented on 20/20 in 2004. His research career has also involved investigating and correcting errors made in medical testing, including coronary arteriography and nuclear imaging, for both heart disease and cancer. In 2017, after two decades of work, he patented the first method to measure regional blood flow and metabolic changes inside the body. This method, known as FMTVDM (Fleming Method), makes it possible to accurately determine what is happening inside the body and whether treatments prescribed for patients are working. In 2004, after reducing the amount of radiation he was giving patients for nuclear imaging tests of the heart, he was accused of billing fraud. After evidence was hidden from the jury, he agreed to a plea deal that did not state a crime, making it possible for him to protect one of his children.
