He was the author of over 50 technical papers, 28 of which are listed on [[PubMed]], and was awarded in 1978 the [[Australian Medal of Merit]] for outstanding scientific research. <!-- --><ref name "Dettman">{{cite book | author= Dettman G, Kalokerinos A, Dettman I| title= 'Vitamin C Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile!' |date=1993 | publisher= Frederick Todd – Melbourne 1993 | id= ISBN 0-646-11985-0 }}</ref> ==Education and career== After earning his B.A. and PhD at the [[Independent University of Australia]], in 1936 Dettman started his career as a laboratory technician trainee at the [[University of Melbourne]]'s Veterinary Research Institute. Dettman joined the Australian Army Medical Corp on 17 Jan 1944, and was discharged a year later on 26 Jan 1945 as [[Staff Sergeant]] <ref>[http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/veteran.asp?ServiceID=A&VeteranID=529261 WW2 Nominal Roll<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, where he assisted with the original organisation of a [[blood bank]] and was involved with the initial use of [[penicillin]]. Dettman later served as a commissioned officer for the Australian army, where he tutored upon army health, with particular emphasis on the value of [[immunization]]s. At the time, he was a technical officer with the [[Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation]] (CSIRO), and his research activities included such fields as [[antibiotic]]s, [[bovine]] [[mastitis]], and [[Staphylococcus|staphylococcal]] studies, which yielded a modified staphylococcal [[vaccine]].<!-- --><ref name "Dettman">{{cite book | author= Dettman G, Kalokerinos A, Dettman I| title= 'Vitamin C Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile!' |date=1993 | publisher= Frederick Todd – Melbourne 1993 | id= ISBN 0-646-11985-0 }}</ref> In 1950, Dettman founded the Oakleigh Pathology Service and was later elected as a Registered Pathology Practitioner. The Australasian College of Biomedical Science in 1969, appointed Dettman to head a research team to investigate the claims of [[Archie Kalokerinos]] in relation to immunization hazards and the efficacy of [[vitamin C]]. Kalokerinos' claims were that many infants were dying as the result of vitamin C deficiencies and that these deaths could be prevented by the injection of the vitamin. According to Kalokerinos, the vitamin C deficiencies could result from infections, gut disturbances including parasitic infestation and other immune insults including vaccination. Dettman's research substantiated Kalolerinos' claim that most of the children were vitamin C deficient, becoming a witness to the dramatic effect that injections of Vitamin C had in saving the lives of many young infants. Dettman's observations had such an impact, he became a firm believer in vitamin C and joined forces with Kalokerinos in promoting the benefits of vitamin C.<!-- --><ref name "Dettman">{{cite book | author= Dettman G, Kalokerinos A, Dettman I| title= 'Vitamin C Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile!' |date=1993 | publisher= Frederick Todd – Melbourne 1993 | id= ISBN 0-646-11985-0 }}</ref> Dettman was married to Nancy and fathered three children, Ian, Clive, and Robin. ==Publications== * ''Vitamin C: Nature's Miraculous Healing Missile!'', with [[Ian Dettman]] and Archie Kalokerinos ISBN 0-646-11985-0 === Journals === * Kalokerinos A, Dettman I, Dettman G (1983) Is calcium ascorbate preferable to sodium ascorbate?
