Berkley Bedell, Founder and first Chairman of FAIM, took $50 earned on his newspaper route and began a business making fishing tackle. The small company he started is now an international enterprise.

Bedell was elected to the United States Congress as a Democrat representing Iowa's Sixth District in 1975. He retired from Congress in 1988, having contracted Lyme disease. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He became active in investigating complementary and alternative medical treatments as a result of being introduced to innovative remedies. Bedell recovered from both cancer and Lyme disease and attributed his cures to the alternative therapies he used.

He writes about the use of autologous adult stem cells.
