DAM, Albert Schweitzer is dead, but I think there are many young doctors who still follow his model

NORMAN COUSINS, who did a book on Schweitzer has also left us a wonderful legacy which he writes about in his book: HEAD FIRST--THE BIOLOGY OF HOPE (1989). The book is really about SPIRIT FIRST--the biology of faith hope and love.

ANATOMY ON AN ILLNESS--the book
Because of his own recovery--using the power of his mind--laughter and nutrients, not drugs--and spirit--though he was not an MD he was recruited by UCLA's great medical school as an adjunct professor. There he spent ten years teaching young doctors how to heal the whole person, not just be body mechanics. His book tells the story of those ten years.

BTW, DAM, where did you learn how to write in such an interesting and provocative style? Tell me, maybe I could go there and take a course. smile Did Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale go to that school too? Or did it come in your genes? laugh laugh
Seriously, gadflies do serve a purpose, I think!!! But it would be helpful if your criticisms were balanced, once in a while.
