The vision of GHF is a world in which:

 

1.Each citizen becomes fully aware of how vital and fragile the genetic material in their cells  and that of all life on planet Earth is.

​

2.Each citizen has access to measurements of their DNA damage and the means to mitigate against this fundamental pathology.

 

3.The environmental, nutritional, life-style and psycho-social factors that increase harm to the genome become better known and disseminated.

​

4.Communities and nations create environments that are conducive to the health of all organisms on planet earth at the fundamental genome level.

​

5.DNA damage levels are reduced to their possible and healthy minimum and the regenerative capacities and well being of body tissues optimised at the fundamental genome level.

​

This vision is also further elaborated in:

​

​

A NEW HIPPOCRATIC OATH FOR DOCTORS OF GENOME HEALTH

​

I swear to fulfil, to the best of my ability and judgement, this covenant:

​

 

 I shall endeavour to use the knowledge given to me to help my fellow beings to stay as healthy as possible at the genome, cellular, organ, system and psychological level so that they will not require to be cured from a preventable disease.

•

 I shall appropriately use the best validated diagnostics available so I can determine with certainty the extent to which my fellow human has drifted from optimal health and the causes of such harm at the fundamental genome level.

•

 I shall use holistic methods including nutrition, life-style, environmental and socio-psychological approaches that are best suited to return my fellow human to a state of well-being sustainably and within their means.

•

 At the community level, I shall contribute to create ecologically viable, genome-protective, enjoyable, stimulating environments, nurture the establishment of caring and engaging societies, allowing equal opportunity for realising one’s purpose and creative potential whilst securing optimal health to do so.
