   In October of 1999, Sid Baker approached me at a fund-raising dinner and asked me to help him start a company to develop an idea he'd been working on for over 30 years.To help him bring into a reality a dream of his was an unprecedented honor.
   
   At that point, I knew Sid as my son's doctor.Alex is labeled autistic and has been very sick most of his life.On March 8th, 1997 (at 2:00) I brought Alex to see Sid for the first time.It was a life-changing experience.None of the 30 doctors I had consulted listened to me the way he did.And Sid not only listened, but he actually took my thoughts and opinions into consideration.We were partners, equals ...
   
   What I learned from Sid that day, and in the 4 years following, was that my status, as a person without an M.D. or a Ph.D., did not preclude my understanding illness.Yes, I rely upon him to explain the "technical stuff" - the biochemical reactions, the meaning oflab test results, the actions of various treatments and medications, the thigh bone being connected to the shin bone ... as the little person he is, my knowledge of him, my minute observations of what makes Alex unique - that was a novel and uplifting experience.I'll never forget Sid saying to us that first appointment, "I've learned the most from my patients."And he meant it.
   
   This philosophy led Sid to take his system of categorizing medical data, a system 15 years in the creating, and to conceptualize Medigenesis.To use his words, Medigenesis is a tool that allows any individual to partake in "an intelligent conversation with a database."

   Sidney M. Baker, M.D., Chief Medical Director and Chairman Dr. Baker is a practicing physician specializing in the biochemical and environmental aspects of the chronic health problems of children and adults.In May 1999, more than 500 of his fellow physicians from 24 different countries honored Dr. Baker with the Functional Medicine Linus Pauling Award at the Sixth International Symposium on Functional Medicine.The Linus Pauling Award recognized Dr. Baker's pioneering work over the last 20 years in developing the underlying principles of functional medicine, an emerging approach to medical practice that focuses on the biochemical and immunological balance of individuals.
   
   Dr. Baker received both his B.A. degree (1960) and his M.D. degree (1964) from Yale University.He has specialty training in Obstetrics and is Board certified in Pediatrics and Environmental Medicine.
   
   Dr. Baker began his professional life as an Assistant Professor of Medical Computer Sciences at Yale Medical School where he remained until 1971.In tandem with his clinical practice, he was also Assistant Clinical Professor for Pediatrics at Yale until 1981.Since 1971, Dr. Baker has practiced as a consultant for individuals with complex chronic illness.
   
   Since his days at Yale, Dr. Baker has had an interest in the development of computer applications that help maintain accurate, detailed and structured medical records that allow physicians to make clinical portraits of patients both as individuals and as groups.Since the early 1970's, Dr. Baker has been working on pioneering on?line interactive medical history systems and batch input mechanisms for the handling of medical information.In developing software in the 1980's for use in physicians' offices, Dr. Baker created a database for his own practice that led to the accumulation of thousands of medical records.During that period, he worked on creating an internally consistent taxonomy of the everyday language in which patients communicate illness.This sustained development project proved the validity of the taxonomy underlying Medigenesis.
   
   Dr. Baker is an author of several books and many articles on nutritional, biochemical and environmental aspects of chronic illness in adults and children.
