The Power of Prevention Making Your Family Safer 

The Institute and Dr. Janda are very proud that Public Television has chosen to feature The Institute, our work and the book, The Awakening of a Surgeon, on a soon to be released national presentation entitled: The Power of Prevention: Making Your Family Safer. Public television has been very supportive of The Institute’s work over the past several years. It began with Mr. Alan Alda on his show Scientific American Frontiers, which was broadcast on public television. In the show, The Institute’s work was featured. This has now been followed up through the help of Ms. Alicia Ames-Steele and Public Broadcasting of Atlanta. The Institute and Public Broadcasting of Atlanta has produced a show, The Power of Prevention: Making Your Family Safer. The show was produced in late summer in the PBA Studios in Atlanta. The show premiered in the Atlanta market the week of December 3rd. The show was extremely well received by the Atlanta community and the ratings were outstanding. The show will now be distributed to public television on a nationwide basis starting in March of 2003. The show is based on The Institute’s work since it’s inception in 1989 and also features Dr. Janda’s book, The Awakening of a Surgeon. The hope is that the show will be utilized in the public television telethon series format in the months of March 2003. June 2003, August 2003, and December 2003. It is the hope that the show will be broadcast in all 350 Public Television markets around the country. The show was made possible through a grant by Domino’s Pizza. Needless to say, we at The Institute, as well as Public Television, is in indebted to Domino’s Pizza, as well as one of our Advisory Board Members, Mr. David Brandon, the CEO of Domino’s. The purpose of the show is to make families safer and healthier across the United States by delivering the information we have developed at The Institute and in the book, The Awakening of a Surgeon. Please call your local Public Television Station and make them aware that this is an important show for everyone in your community to see and demand that it be shown on multiple occasions in your community in the year 2003.
