His work has seen him in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health in the U.S.A., the National Institutes of Health Research in the UK, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in Canada, and Harvard University.
His writings have been published the British Medical Journal, Annals of Internal Medicine, The Lancet, as well as a textbook titled The Philosophy of Evidence-Based Medicine, which is at the forefront of a new sub-discipline, and Doctor You, Revealing the Science of Self-healing.
Jeremy became interested in his field while at Dartmouth, where his first rowing coach, Scott Armstrong, introduced him to the concept of mindfulness. Because of Scott’s coaching to believe in himself, Jeremy, who was considered too short to be a champion heavyweight rower, succeeded in his ambitions to row for Dartmouth. Yoga then took him to compete at international level, representing Canada at the World Rowing Championships, and Oxford in the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
It was an allergy to his mother’s cat that got him interested in internal medicine, something that led to his interest in research.
These experiences, to a large extent, paved the way to his achieving a PhD in the Philosophy of Medicine. Jeremy’s subsequent research has been widely reported by global media.
An Oxford researcher with over 80 publications, a number of teaching awards and a classic textbook, Jeremy Howick’s latest book, and Amazon #1 seller is titled ‘Dr You’ and is focussed on the bodies natural ability to heal itself based upon actual scientific research. A world-renowned placebo researcher and his work has been featured in The Times and The Washington Post, as well as on Sky News, and the BBC.
