Thank you Lisa Landymore-Lim. I look forward to reading your book. Thank you for doing what is right!' C. Alexander, Arizona, USA       'One of my special heroes in the field of modern medicine is the little-known scientist Lisa Landymore-Lim...' Lynne McTaggart, Editor, WDDTY (What Doctors Don't Tell You), Dec 2006. www.wddty.co.uk WDDTY Dec 2006 Editorial featuring 'The diabetes epidemic - Brought to you by Big Pharma?     'I have now finished your book. It is great. Congratulations on the work you have done - it is indeed highly disturbing in its implications. Your documentation is valuable and impressive. As you state yourself, it is now essential to do case control studies to determine exactly what the contribution is of medical drugs to asthma and diabetes.' Prof. Dr. Anthony R. Mawson, MA, Dr Public Health, Visiting Professor of Public Health and Director, Institute of Epidemiology and Health Services Research, Jackson State University, Jackson, Mississippi, USA.   '...delighted to receive your book. I sat down and read it within one day and I loved it...I also loved your bookmark and perfect letter...you bring up so many valid points in your book...I would highly recommend writing to Professor Acili and sending him a copy of your book...it certainly is provocative.'

With prior experience as an Immunological technician at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, London and as a Histopathological

technician at Kingston General Hospital, Surrey, England, Lisa Landymore-Lim graduated in 1983 from the School of Chemistry and

Molecular Sciences, University of Sussex, England, with a First Class Honours degree in Chemistry by Thesis. This was a unique degree

which gave students the opportunity to undertake research from the first year of the degree course.

Declining an offer of a postgraduate studentship at Cambridge University, England, in 1983, she elected to undertake research for her

doctorate in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, at the University of Sussex. It was during this period that she first became

clinically involved with diabetic patients attending the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, England.

In 1983 she was awarded the School Prize for Chemistry, University of Sussex; 1984 she was awarded a study scholarship by the

Swedish Institute to attend the Biomedical Centre, Uppsala, Sweden. She has worked briefly for the Medical Research Council at the

National Institute for Medical Research, London and at the Dunn Nutrition Unit, Cambridge.

Poisonous Prescriptions evolved from self-funded research conducted in the UK during 1991-1992. Interested in disease prevention, she

is an independent investigator focusing on the harmful effects that exposure to chemicals contained in medicines may have on health.

Dr. Lim Boon Keng       My grandfather was a physician of considerable repute and was also a staunch lobbyist against the destructive effects of opium. He campaigned hard against opium which was legally approved in Singapore by the British authorities, through the Anti-Opium Society.   He has been described as a brilliant man of boundless energy who juggled half a dozen roles with little effort: medical doctor, member of the local legislative council (using his position to ask the Council to pass a law to control the increasing rents of houses), social reformer, leader of the local Confucian and Chinese language movements. With his Anglo and Chinese connections, he was described as inhabiting several cultural worlds at the same time.   As a social reformer, he was an advocate for the education of women. As part of his actions, he co-founded the Singapore Chinese Girl's School, where I first started school. A brief chronicle of his life as obtained from the internet is given below. Born October 1869 Penang, Malaysia. Later moved to Singapore     1879 Entered Raffles Institution     1887 First Chinese to win the Queen's Scholarship. Attended Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations in England.     1892 Graduated from Edinburgh University with a First Class Honours degree in medicine.     1893 Returned from Edinburgh     1895 - 1902 Member of the Legislative Council Main spokesman for the Baba reform group     1896 Headed a Commission of Enquiry into the sources of poverty in Singapore. He was also a Justice of Peace and a member of the Chinese Advisory Board. Married at a Presbyterian Church and had four sons.   (Dr. Lim Boon Keng is pictured on the far right)           1897 Founded the Philomatic Society. Helped publish the first Straits Chinese Magazine. Campaigned against the wearing of the `pigtail' by Chinese men.     1899 Co-founded Singapore Chinese Girl's School (SCGS) to improve the education of Straits-Chinese women. This school is later attended by his grand-daughter who is the only other Anglo-Asian amongst several hundred girls to attend the school in 1964.       1900 Straits Chinese British Association founded. Dr Lim is later a president.     1908 Remarried after his first wife died in 1905 and had a son Lim Peng Han and daughter (later Mrs Ena Teh).     1912 Founded the Kuomintang. Director of rubber and tin companies. Birth of fifth son Lim Peng Han. Father of Lim Ee Nga (Lisa Landymore-Lim)     1913 Gave a lecture `The Influence of Religion on Art' at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. …He cited the example of Chinese `scenic artists' who had always drawn upon religious thought for their appreciation of the inner meaning of things, `with the result that they painted with individuality and magnificence of comprehension'.     1918 Awarded the Order of British Empire for his services to the crown.       1920 Co-founded OAC Insurance with Mr. Lim Nee Soon. This was the first locally-owned insurance company to be set up in Singapore, with current assets of S$2.7 billion.     1921 Responded to Dr Sun Yat-Sen's call to serve China. Spent 16 years as the first president of Xiamen University founded by his friend Tan Kah Kee, the Singapore tycoon and educationist. Volunteered a reduction in salary to help the university.     1929 President of Xiamen University (University of Amoy) Published The Li Sao, an Elegy on Encountering Sorrows     1930 - 1934 Lim Peng Han becomes the first local Chinese to race in the British circuits at Donington and Brooklands     1937 Founded the Straits Chinese China Relief Fund Committee of Singapore to support China in her war efforts against Japan.     1942 Dr. Lim Boon Keng and his family are interned at a Japanese concentration camp at Arab Street. He initially refuses to accept the Japanese proposal of becoming a leader of the Chinese, whereupon his wife was made to kneel down under the scorching sun for 4 hours at a stretch, in addition to bearing other insults. Through the persuasion of Shinozaki, a Japanese who had been stationed in Singapore for some years, Dr Lim at the age of 73, finally relents. He is forced by the Japanese to be the Chairman of the Overseas Chinese Association to raise $50million for Japan.   Known as the grand old man of Singapore's Chinese Society, during the Japanese Occupation, he would feign a drunken stupor rather than co-operate with the conquerors.   When only $28million was raised, the Japanese expressed their anger, whereupon my grandfather rose up and made a brief reply full of emotion.   Dr. Lim said, "We never told a lie. When we promised to give the military contribution, we mean to do it. Financial conditions are now such as to be beyond our control. If we are unable to pay, then die we will. I wish to point out, however, that the manner in which the Government raise this military contribution is without any parallel in any country." He sat down and wiped his tears.     1957 Dr Lim Boon Keng dies at the age of 88..       2002 Grandfather was reputed to be considerably wealthy at the time of his death. He gave the bulk of his estate away for the good of the people. My father said that Ang Kong (grandfather) having come from a poor family was a self-made man and had said that his children could do the same. Annual contributions to the National University of Singapore have been made since his death. In 2002, 45 years after grandfather's death, the National University of Singapore received $144,942 from the estate of the late Dr Lim Boon Keng and Mrs Ena Teh for scholarships and bursaries for students.
