H.L. "Sam" Queen, Founder and President of The Institute for Health Realities

We want to change the way
the world views health


We believe that more energetic and enthusiastic living is possible
through a better understanding and application
of the Realities of Health.

Here at the Institute we offer answers to difficult health problems,
through research and study, publishing,
and direct consultations with health professionals and individuals.

At The Institute for Health Realities we believe that getting healthy and staying healthy takes more than generic recommendations.

Did you know that one person dies
every minute from cancer
and one every 33 seconds
from cardiovascular disease?

This is in spite of the fact that so many of us try to change our diet and habits. The one-size-fits-all approach that is so widely promoted by organizations such as the American Heart Association or American Cancer Society doesn’t always work when considering the complexities of an individual’s health situation. Yes, their programs are valuable, but they're based on statistics–they recommend what's best for the greatest number of people.

That's great, unless YOU are one of the ones
who fall through the cracks!

This one-size-fits all approach is not just a fault of traditional health institutions. It’s also promoted by many alternative practitioners and distributors of food supplements. Research shows that the incidence of degenerative diseases has risen over the last 15 years, while intake of supplements has also increased during that time. Food supplements taken generically have not been the answer.

We believe that a lack of tailored health programs
for the individual is to blame.

What we represent is not alternative or traditional medicine...it’s just not how anyone else operates. We follow where the truth leads, instead of trying to align with any one group’s ideas. We want to define what health is, look at how the body is designed to keep itself well, and then develop strategies to support that design.

By following where truth leads,
we’ve developed what no one else has…
a unique way of tailoring a program to fit your individual needs!

...not a program to treat a single disease, or for just women, or for people over 45 …YOU, with your particular habits, genetics, background and environment.

How do we do this?

There are two areas we specialize in.

We are a research organization.

We are best known for our secondary research, which means we constantly research the scientific literature, looking for what optimum health really means. We have recently been conducting primary research ourselves, to find answers where they are lacking. We want to help people prevent illness before it occurs and achieve optimum health for themselves, instead of waiting until an illness befalls them and then treating it. Through our research, we develop materials for both the lay person and the health professional to pass on what we learn in a readily-accessible and useful manner. We give seminars, have written books and newsletters, and produced audio and visual material, on a variety of topics having to do with health and wellness.

We offer a consultation service.

Through consultations, we help individuals with their own health, and health professionals with their clients. Our goal is to introduce people to the concept of life-long health management. What makes our tailored program possible is the understanding of the Six Subclinical Defects that often appear in a person’s blood chemistry before major health problems occur. If health is to be achieved, we must be able to recognize when these markers are defective and bring them back into order before health is destroyed. In this way we have the opportunity to bring people to a level of health they’ve never before achieved.

Our web site is meant to help both individuals and health ca
re professionals achieve optimum health for yourselves and your patients. Please take a look around and see what we can do for YOU!
