While Earning Two Advanced Degrees, She Spent Her Spare Time Teaching Other Students How to Accelerate Their Learning and Increase Their IQ

Dr. Donna Schwontkowski is the author of Million Dollar Memory for Names & Faces and The Party Solution: Names & Faces Now (coming soon) and several books on the topic of health (see www.DrDonna.net).

She is one of the world's most highly educated individuals, holding five degrees, three of them advanced.

Dr. Donna practiced chiropractic medicine/alternative health and helped hundreds of patients with sound principles of nutrition and herbology for many years, but after 9-11 she felt compelled to use her memory methods to help each citizen use their memory to become more aware, safer, and increase their ability to remember faces.

While completing a doctorate and one of her master's degrees, she worked full-time and created an entire memory/accelerated learning program for graduate level (doctoral) science students. Over a 10-year period, students flocked to her 3-hour memory classes. Testing revealed their recall never went below 78% of the information she taught and most were in the 90's and they had fun while they were learning. Dr. Donna has given over 900 seminars and international keynotes in her career.

One Can Never Predict How Crime Changes Lives

Motivation for writing Million Dollar Memory for Names & Faces may have come from personal experience with crime. While attending college, she became a crime victim and couldn't recognize the suspect because he wore a ski mask. Years later, Dr. Donna's patent-pending face recognition method which incorporates accelerated learning and memory now brings the science of face recognition and facial description to a level that defeats even those wearing the best of disguises. That same method increased face recognition skills 165% in the general public – initially volunteers only remembered four characteristics about a face they viewed, but after a little over an hour of her specialized training, their scores shot up to 11.

It's Important to Impact Society

In the fall of 2006, Dr. Donna will bring her face recognition techniques to college campuses. Her goal is to have 100,000 people trained in her technique by July 4th, 2007. “We'll soon have 100,000 pairs of trained eyes watching for missing children and missing adults, criminals and terrorists who will begin to make a difference in the way eyewitness testimonies are viewed in court, in the message sent out to criminals that they will be recognized, and in our own personal lives.” She offers college scholarships to college students who show a proficiency in her technique.

By late fall, law enforcement training will start (see www.TrainedEyesWatching.com) and by Winter 2007, school children will learn her valuable techniques.

Dr. Donna also produced/hosted her own TV show in Sacramento CA for 4 years and was instrumental at bringing knowledge about how toxic mold affects health and how to detect it to the Sacramento area via her series of television shows. She also hosted and produced a radio show on health in New York several years ago.

I Saw a Photo for 1–2 Seconds and Recognized the Man Two Weeks Later

"I wanted to share a story with you. Several months ago you showed me a pilot study you were working on for your new book. The study showed how to look at faces and then be able to identify and verbally describe them. I have always been great with voices but not with physical details about people I see.

The other day, I was cleaning a new rental property I had just purchased. A woman came to the door to look inside. She and her family were interested in renting the home so I gave her an application. She filled out the application and gave it to me along with her husband’s business card. He is a mortgage broker, so his picture was on the card. Immediately I said, 'I just saw this man the other day.' I asked if her husband worked in the same location as the Title Company that had just handled my housing transaction. She laughed and said, 'Yes, he works just down the hall from that company.'

I could not believe that I could recognize this man from his picture. I literally saw him for 1–2 seconds as he was unlocking a door in the hallway. The other thing that struck me was that he was a different race than I am. I have a much more difficult time seeing the differences between two people of a different race that I do two people of my own race. I don't know why. Hopefully this is normal.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I can't wait to get a copy of your book so that I can learn all the techniques in order to better identify people. It's really fun. Thanks for teaching this much needed skill."

You Can't Fool Me!

"After learning your face recognition method, I'm disgusted with the TV program that tries to disguise people. They're so inaccurate and it's very obvious!"
—Lisa, College student, U of C, Davis



Helped Me Overseas…

"Your book is wonderful!! I am very impressed! The people in Hong Kong all looked different. It was an interesting mix of many Asian cultures as well as East Indian, Middle East, European and American. I am thoroughly enjoying your book! I also liked reading how you tested your memory theory while getting your graduate degrees and working full time." —Karen Barnett, IA
