ImmunitysForge

William Parker has loved art since childhood, and is very grateful to Martha Allison (1937-2004), his high school art teacher, who put up with him for four wonderful years back in the early 1980s. He has been blacksmithing since the 1990s, and is also a scientist, most well known for the discovery of a function of the human appendix.

For more than a decade William has sold his artwork to support his ongoing research on methods to prevent a wide range of immune-related diseases which share a number of common features and apparently a common origin. These diseases cover a surprisingly wide range, and include multiple sclerosis, lupus, food allergies, asthma, and a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions, including major depressive disorder and autism. William and his colleagues have published their work in numerous peer-reviewed journals.
