Dear Trem Williams. It is my sad duty to opine that the likelihood for gaining a succesful modification in the immediate thinking of this patient's alleopathic medical counsel is.........diminishingly slim----and none. There are reasons, far too numerous to list, that would clearly substantiate this statement. However, it is not necessary to go beyond (1) the compelling influence of a "peer controlled", professionalized culture of conformity----which rewards allegiance and punishes variation and (2) the very real threat of socio-economic sanctions of a magnitude synonymous with "total destruction of life-style". There is, simply, NO existing countering consideration sufficient to overcome this overpowering influence-------except for the occasional spiritually-driven martyr. You can count these, almost, upon the fingers of one hand; Semelweiss, Pauling, Douglass, Regelson, et al. After 40 years of professional/academic association with alleopathic medicine in America I feel entitled to express this opinion----not against any individual (for there are many fine M.D.'s in this country), but rather, to highlight a system which has, literally, plundered the physical health and well-being of multiple generations of an undeserving group of recipients. This is one of the primary reasons I have dedicated both the recent past, and all of my remaining future, to our private charitable research foundation. I feel compelled, not through conscience or guilt, but through concern and sympathy for sentient life----as do my associates. Please forgive this old man's semi-coherent blandishments, but I would like to remind all that........there still live among you some who really care. My sympathy to all who suffer. Sincerely. Brooks Bradley. Trem Williams wrote:
