00:00Dennis Parsons Burkett, Irish surgeon, man of God, generous, intelligent, kind, strong-willed,
00:10spiritual, humble, plotted the geographical incidence of childhood cancer affecting the
00:16jaw and other parts of the body in Africa, generated interest in a viral cause of this
00:22cancer, initiated chemotherapeutic treatment of the cancer to considerable benefit,
00:30became interested in dietary involvement of diseases in affluent industrialized societies.
00:37With the help of others, and once more studying the geographical occurrence and distribution of
00:43disease and surmising possible causes, came to see dietary fiber as an essential factor in
00:51preventing diseases such as bowel cancer, other cancers, diverticulosis, obesity, diabetes,
00:59heart disease, and many other common chronic diseases of the so-called first world.
01:06Received and embraced warmly by listeners.
01:09A man of sincerity, passion, conviction, confidence, and drive.
01:15Awarded extensively for his career work.
01:18His scientific legacy lives on.
01:20Dennis helped multitudes with his message of health by emphasizing preventive medicine over
01:28curative medicine.
01:31Through illustrations, Dennis showed that it is better to turn off the faucet than to mop up
01:37the floor.
01:38And it is better to fix a faulty shelf than to fix the broken items that fall from it.
01:43Dennis taught that the measure of a person is in his or her attitude, motivation, and character
01:57rather than in his or her intellect or ability.
02:02A wonderful teacher and soul.
02:03A quote from Dennis' diary from the year 1985 reads,
02:09The only thing of lasting importance in a man's obituary is whether he was a child of God
02:17and has consequently gone to his father.
02:22To die young and go to one's father is no disaster.
02:27To die old and go into darkness is tragedy.
02:33To die old and go into prostitutes with them,
02:40season it very final night.
