About Scientia Press

Kenneth J. Dillon has a B.A. in history from Georgetown University and a Ph.D in European history from Cornell University. After working for several years as an academic historian, he joined the Foreign Service, where he served in Turkey and in various positions in Washington, D.C.–in particular, as an intelligence analyst (two prizes for analysis). Since leaving the State Department, Dillon has worked as a theoretical scientist, medical writer, entrepreneur, and historian.

Scientia Press arose out of an earlier medical device business venture.

In a kind of scientific detective work, Dillon applies qualitative techniques drawn from his experience as an historian and intelligence analyst (and described in Apprentice to Paracelsus and in Intriguing Anomalies: An Introduction to Scientific Detective Work). Among his life science contributions are theories of the original immune system, of the role of red blood cells in consciousness, of shared mechanisms of various natural remedies, and of transdermal micronutrition. He has also formulated an 18-point proof that the red blood cells constitute the animal magnetoreceptor. Dillon has made a series of contributions in the area of physical therapies of infectious diseases, including in regard to Biophotonic Therapy, the leading phototherapeutic treatment of infectious diseases. He has also proposed a method for developing targeted drugs for treating multi-drug-resistant TB and other infectious diseases by challenging plants with human pathogens.

In planetary science Dillon has found a commonsensical explanation of how Venus could have seemed to emerge as a comet from Jupiter, as reported in mythical terms by the ancients, thereby overcoming a key objection to making appropriate use of ancient sources to interpret astronomical phenomena that influenced human history. In turn, this has led to new interpretations of ancient iconographic, monumental, and astronomical evidence. He has also devised a theory of the terrestrial planets that furnishes fitting explanations of the varying presence of water on them; the origin of the Earth-Moon system; key features of the Moon, Mars, and Mercury; and the cause of the mass extinctions of prehistory.

Dillon has proposed several innovative solutions to the problem of the safe disposal of nuclear waste.

In the field of intelligence, Dillon has contributed a new angle that supports the KGB theory of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He has also shown that al Qaeda operative Abderraouf Jdey was the likely mailer of the 2001 anthrax letters. The anthrax seems to have been prepared well before the September 11, 2001 attacks by U.S. Army scientist Bruce Ivins for a Department of Defense project to test vaccines. Then an al Qaeda sympathizer stole samples of it from a DARPA-supported researcher at George Mason University.

Dillon has devised a theory of the relationships among Trojans, Etruscans, and Romans that solves major riddles of ancient history and linguistics.

The author of six books on science, medicine, and history, Dillon teaches courses in history as an adjunct at Marymount University. In a student course evaluation, he was called “a nice, easy going professor.”

The father of two sons, Dillon is a walker and jogger, student of international affairs and psychology, and amateur linguist and musician. He is a member of Stop TB and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
