Kenneth Fine

Dr. Kenneth Fine believes people should maintain not only physical wellness, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual health as well. This approach to medicine is called holistic health maintenance.

He began his career as a full time intestinal researcher in 1992, and his greatest interest is in intestinal physiology, nutrition, and diseases of altered intestinal immunological function.

In addition to developing new and innovative diagnostic tests for patients with chronic diarrheal disease, he has developed a focused interest and expertise in two syndromes: gluten-sensitive enteropathy (also called celiac sprue) and microscopic colitis.

Dr. Fine serves his patients and support groups of patients as an advisor and as a clinician. He is the founder of Finer Health and Nutrition, a service whose mission is to "improve the intestinal and overall health and nutrition of as many people as possible."

In addition to his medical work, Dr. Fine is a singer-songwriter/guitar player, and recently he recorded 25 of his original songs. These songs are now available on two CD's and all proceeds from the sale of these CDs will be donated to support the not-for-profit public health organization he started in 2000: The Intestinal Health Institute and to support other service organizations as well.

"My life is fully committed to public service, and I want as many people as possible to enjoy the wonderful health that I have experienced since adopting a positive, health-oriented lifestyle. I believe that happiness through music (or by any means) is an important part of health," says Dr. Fine.

Dr. Fine is also offering his music CD's to public service organizations to sell as a fund raiser. He also plans musical performances as benefit shows with other music recording artists, and is putting together a group of professional musicians willing to work in a spiritual light to share their musical gifts with t he world for a healthy cause.

Although Dr. Fine will be bringing his musical hobby to the public in this way, his professional health work, i.e., heading the Intestinal Health Institute and EnteroLab laboratory, public speaking, answering the public's email inquiries, helping people individually by phone, and doing medical research and scientific publishing, will continue unabated, he says.

Dr. Fine performs under the name Kenny Jude. "To ensure that my desire to share my music with the public does not interfere with my ability to carry out my public health mission, I have opted to use my biblical name, Jude, for my musical last name," he said.
