The Initial Problems are:

The Dewey Foundation Review Board(s) will be publishing exact standards for these Awards in the near future. As a working definition, “cure” is taken to be a non-surgical treatment that causes the existing illness to disappear or cease to be a threat to the life of the patient without ongoing medication, OR a non-surgical treatment that prevents a person from contracting the illness. Suggestions for lifestyle or dietary changes / decisions will not be considered a cure.

We will be developing, defining and adding more Problems in the future and we are excited about the possibility of identifying and solving other huge problems using this new approach.

Any person who donates to The Dewey Foundation can have input into the selection of future Problems. If you are a donor, please send us your thoughts. Send to: problems@deweyfoundation.org.
