Physician

Dr. Daniel S. Janik, MD (FACPM), PhD - A doctor of medicine (MD) board certified in public health/preventive medicine. Retired after 30+ years of practice and medical research, his personal medical interests continue to be in medical computing, psychological recovery from trauma, language acquisition (PhD) and reclaimed and recycled potable water (NASA). 

Medical Researcher 

A respected water chemist, in the 1980's he worked as a U. S. National Research Council (NRC) Senior Research Associate detailed out to NASA-Johnson Space Center and NASA-Ames Research Center investigating water reclamation and recycling for shuttle, space station, long duration space travel, moonbase and Mars colony, primarily in biologically-based systems. During this time, he also served as a Commander, Medical Department, in U. S. Naval Reserve. 

He received an American Medical Association Physician Recognition Award in 2003, and was twice recognized as one of America's Top Physicians (2003, 2010). He is listed in Strathmore's Who's Who in 2004, 2005 and 2006 for contributions in the fields of medical computing, psychological recovery from trauma, space life sciences and the neurobiology of learning.


Medical
Dr. Janik completed his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and medical residencies in both pediatrics (Loma Linda University Medical Center) and preventive medicine/environmental epidemiology (University of Utah Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health), receiving in the process a Masters of Public Health degree in Maternal and Child Health from University of California School of Public Health at Berkeley.

NASA
A water chemist, in 1983, he served as a Fellow in the NASA Summer Faculty Fellowship Program at NASA-Johnson Space Center helping define International Space Station (ISS) water quality requirements for reclaimed, recycled water in space. He then served as a National Academy of Science/National Research Council Senior Research Associate detailed to NASA-Johnson Space, Ames Research, and briefly afterwards at Marshall Space Flight Centers, defining water quality requirements for terrestrial, spacecraft and non-terrestrial planetary habitation.
 
Former Commander, Medical Department, U. S. Naval Reserve working with Naval Environmental Health Centers with interest in semi-closed and closed, reclaimed/recycled life support systems as well as terrestrial earth-sea interactions their effects on humans.

Individual Water Research
In 1993, he created a private research effort to explore sustainable production of biologically reclaimed and recycled water. He soon discovered that of the typical 4 to 10% of residual organic compounds in plant-filtered potable water, only about 40% were identifiable, including a number of water-soluble, assumably pharmacologically-active compounds. That left 60% which were unidentifiable, biologically-active phytopharmacologics. In 1996, he established a private laboratory,  producing various biologically filtered potable water products, investigating further their unique physical and chemical properties. The result was an industrial proof-of-concept system.
