PLAGIARISM NOTICE: Simon Goddek stole my diagram which I published in 2004, then said he made it in 2022, claiming that he was the hero for doing the work

No, Simon Goddek did not make this diagram as he claims he did; I published it 18 years earlier; he stole it and then claimed it as his own work. That’s not "sharing", it’s stealing and plagiarism.

This notice was originally published on 28January2022, which was also the day that my mother died in Spain. This topic is relevant to the video that will be published later today.

I make all of my own diagrams for my books and presentations; so you can imagine my surprise when I see “Dr Simon Goddek” publicizing my diagram from 2004 and claiming he made it himself in 2022.

  1. No, Simon Goddek did not make this diagram as he claims he did; he stole it and then claimed it as his own work. That’s not sharing, it’s stealing and plagiarism.

  2. He even copied the colors of the boxes: green, yellow, and red.

  3. But he did not know the science sufficiently to even complete all the details.

  4. You can see my publication from 2005 in which I clearly was the originator of this diagram: Vasquez A. Nutritional and Botanical Inhibition of NF-kappaB, the Major Intracellular Amplifier of the Inflammatory Cascade. A Practical Clinical Strategy Exemplifying Anti-Inflammatory Nutrigenomics” published in Nutritional Perspectives 2005

I have provided the complete PDF copy of my 2005 publication below

Oddly, in the same paragraph that he states it is “his duty to inform people” as if he is some hero and freedom-fighter, he says “the attached diagram that I made shows how environmental stimuli impact clinical events” which was stolen directly from my previous publications:

  • Integrative Orthopedics (textbook) 2004

  • Nutritional Perspectives (journal article) 2005 academia.edu/43409325

  • Integrative Rheumatology (textbook) 2006

  • Inflammation Mastery (textbook) 2016

You can see the original diagram (very low resolution) published in my 2005 article “Reducing Pain and Inflammation Naturally - Part 4: Nutritional and Botanical Inhibition of NF-kappaB, the Major Intracellular Amplifier of the Inflammatory Cascade. A Practical Clinical Strategy Exemplifying Anti-Inflammatory Nutrigenomics” published in Nutritional Perspectives 2005 in the PDF provided below:
