Autorenporträt

Hans Larsen is a Professional Engineer and holds a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark. He developed a lifelong interest in biochemistry and nutrition through his early studies with Professor Henrik Dam, the Nobel Prize-winning discoverer of vitamin K. Later he honed his technical writing skills by abstracting for Chemical Abstracts then the world's largest abstracting service. After a rewarding career in research and management in the oil and petrochemicals industry, Hans Larsen began publishing International Health News, first in printed form and then exclusively on the Internet. He later did extensive research into atrial fibrillation, a disorder now reaching epidemic proportions, and in December 2002 published his first book "Lone Atrial Fibrillation: Towards a Cure" (A revised edition was published in 2015). This book was followed by "Thrombosis and Stroke Prevention" - a layman's guide to the causes and prevention of ischemic stroke. In 2006 Hans and William Ware published "The Prostate and Its Problems", a comprehensive 440 page book covering all aspects of prostate-related disorders. The co-author of this book, William Ware, is an emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of Western Ontario in London. He received a Ph.D. in nuclear chemistry and physical chemistry from the University of Rochester and subsequently held academic positions at San Diego State University and the University of Minnesota. He moved to Canada in 1971 to join five other senior professors in forming the Photochemistry Unit, a research institute within the Chemistry Department of the University of Western Ontario devoted to basic research in photochemistry, photo physics, photobiology and spectroscopy. He has authored over one hundred scientific papers and reviews and edited three volumes of the series "Creation and Detection of the Excited State", a series published by Marcel Dekker. Retirement provided an opportunity to devote considerable time to another interest, preventive and complementary medicine, approached from an evidence-based point of view. Access to the world's medical literature through the university library, coupled with the background derived from a career in basic research, enabled this interest to flourish and eventually led to the writing of a number of research reviews for International Health News. Bill is now the editor of International Health News.
