Scientia Press

    Kenneth J. Dillon has a B.A. in history from Georgetown University and a Ph.D in European history from Cornell University. After working for several years as an academic historian, he joined the Department of State, where he served in Turkey and in various positions in Washington, D.C.--in particular, as an intelligence analyst (two prizes for analysis).  Since leaving the foreign service, Dillon has worked as a theoretical scientist, medical writer, entrepreneur, and historian.

    Scientia Press arose out of an earlier medical device business venture.

    In a kind of scientific detective work, Dillon applies qualitative techniques drawn from his experience as an historian and intelligence analyst (and described in Apprentice to Paracelsus and in Intriguing Anomalies: An Introduction to Scientific Detective Work). Among his life science contributions are theories of the original immune system, of the role of red blood cells in consciousness, of shared mechanisms of various natural remedies, and of transdermal micronutrition. He has also formulated an 18-point proof that the red blood cells constitute the animal magnetoreceptor.

    Dillon has made a series of contributions in the area of physical therapies of infectious diseases, including new insights regarding Biophotonic Therapy, the leading phototherapeutic treatment of infectious diseases.  He has also proposed a method for developing targeted drugs for treating multi-drug-resistant TB and other infectious diseases by challenging plants with human pathogens. 

    In planetary science Dillon has found a commonsensical explanation of how Venus could have seemed to emerge as a comet from Jupiter, as reported in mythical terms by the ancients, thereby overcoming a key objection to making appropriate use of ancient sources to interpret astronomical phenomena that influenced human history.  He has applied related findings to provide new interpretations of ancient iconographic, monumental, and astronomical evidence.  He has also devised a theory of the origin of the terrestrial planets that explains the varying presence of water on them.  In turn, this has led to a theory whereby close encounters of Mars and Earth caused the mass extinctions of prehistory.

    Dillon has proposed several innovative solutions to the problem of the safe disposal of nuclear waste.

    In the field of intelligence, Dillon has contributed a new angle that supports the KGB theory of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  He has also shown that al Qaeda operative Abderraouf Jdey was the likely mailer of the 2001 anthrax letters.  U.S. Army scientist Bruce Ivins appears to have prepared the anthrax for DARPA as a replica of a secret Soviet formulation in an effort to test countermeasures.  Then an al Qaeda sympathizer stole the anthrax.

    Dillon has devised a theory of the relationships among Trojans, Etruscans, and Romans that solves major riddles of ancient history and linguistics.  

    Dillon is the author of six books on science, medicine, and history. He has a practitioner's familiarity with international relations, with special knowledge of alternative livelihoods to poppy-growing in Afghanistan.    

     Dillon teaches a course in European history at Marymount University.  

    The father of two sons, Dillon is a hiker and swimmer, student of international affairs and psychology, and amateur linguist and musician. He is a member of Stop TB, the executive committee of the Health & Wellness Foundation, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Historical Association.
