[edit] Conflict of interest

Here's the text that was previously at this page. It's likely all correct, but needs to be rewritten to conform with WP:NPOV as well as properly referenced to WP:RS.cab 07:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Whang is an engineer, scientist, and inventor with many U.S. patents. His fields of expertise span from areas such as data communication devices (modem), electronic filters, chemistry, water, cornea measuring devices, and multi-focal contact lenses. He was the Vice President of Research at a large telecommunications company in South Florida, a company that he rescued from bankruptcy by his invention of the high-speed modem in 1966.

For twenty years, from 1968 to 1988, Mr. Whang participated in the development of international standards on data communications at CCITT (Consultative Committee on International Telegraph and Telephone), a UN organization headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. He was part of the United States delegation representing the State Department. He is listed in Who's Who in the South and Southwest.

Mr. Whang's latest discovery is a scientific understanding of the aging process and the method of reversing this process. He wrote the book entitled Reverse Aging in 1990.

Mr. Whang has an impressive list of church and community services. Being an ordained elder of Presbyterian Church USA, he serves on the various boards and councils of Korean Presbyterian Church of Miami, Presbytery of Tropical Florida, Synod of South Atlantic, General Assembly, National Korean Presbyterian Council, and Synod Korean Presbyterian Council. He served as the Vice Moderator of the General Assembly of PCUSA in 1991, the first Asian-American to be appointed to that position.

Mr. Whang's community work started when he moved to South Florida in 1964. The following year he founded the Korean Association of Greater Miami. Since then, he has been very active in the Asian- American Federation of Florida, Asian Arts Festival (Homestead), Festival of Asia (Delray Beach), Korean American Community Relations Council of Florida, Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce (Black-American Chamber), Miami Korean Chamber of Commerce, Korea Americas Society of South Florida, Art Renaissance Foundation (Arizona), Korean Cultural Foundation of Greater Miami, Chinese American Benevolent Association, NANAY (Asian Community Service Organization) currently serving as the Chair, Pacific Rim Committee of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Pacific Rim Committee of the Miami-Dade County Sister City Program, International Trade Consortium of Miami-Dade County, and Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board. Mr. Whang is the first Asian-American to serve as chairman of the CRB in its 36 year history. He initiated the Sister-State relationship between the State of Florida and Kyunggi Province (Korea) which was finalized in November 2000 in Orlando, FL.

Mr. Whang's special interest is the promotion of harmony between the Korean-American community and African-American community. The board of directors of the Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce voted him "Board Member of the Year 1996 and 2004" for his fundraising efforts to provide college scholarships to black senior high school graduates.

Mr. Whang currently lectures on the benefits of the alkaline diet and high pH alkaline water, which reduce body acid for improved blood circulations and health maintenance.
