Raymond Francis, D.Sc., M.Sc., RNC, was at the height of an international career in management consulting when his health began declining. What began as fatigue, some chemical sensitivities, and allergies ended up as extreme chronic fatigue, extreme chemical sensitivities, allergic reactions to almost everything, fibromyalgia, lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Sjogren’s syndrome, digestive problems, skin rashes, headaches, brain fog, dizziness, grand mal seizures, and acute liver failure. At age 48, his imminent death from liver failure was considered a medical certainty. “There is nothing more we can do for you,” his doctors said.
Realizing that the medical interventions by his physicians had only made matters worse (It was a diagnostic test that plunged his health into sharp decline, and it was a prescription drug that precipitated his acute liver failure.) Raymond decided it was up to him to save his life. A chemist by training and a graduate of M.I.T., he began taking large doses of vitamin C, which revived him enough to conduct extensive research and direct his own care. It took him two years to restore his health to where he could function normally once again. During this period he developed his revolutionary Beyond Health Model of One Disease, Two Causes, and Six Pathways to health and disease. This is a model of health and disease that is so powerful that many thousands have used it to cure themselves of chronic and even terminal illnesses, yer it is so simple, it can be taught to a child.
Raymond Francis passed away on April 23, 2020, at the age of 83 in Coral Springs, Florida. His passing was attributed to natural causes, closing a life defined by scientific curiosity, personal transformation, and an unwavering commitment to empowering others through knowledge. Born on March 12, 1937, Raymond spent decades advancing the fields of biochemistry, nutrition, and holistic health, inspiring countless individuals to take control of their well‑being. Though he is no longer with us, his teachings, principles, and uncompromising dedication to human health continue to guide Beyond Health’s mission and shape the lives of those who follow his work.
