a-okTopic: Science and Health
Who wouldnt be fed up with the constant failure forecasting of world bodies and organizations about the fate of our planet. Every other day and every other week theres another hullaboo or impressive number of pre-eminent scientists who have themselves warmed the planet via air travel in order to congregate and issue their dire warnings.
At a time when a distraught world is unrelentingly
beset with multiple crises of one kind or
another
and warnwd daily that unless we can find solutions
for a number of problems
of staggering proportions, we face
certain extinction, it is a relief to come
upon a book which is not content merely
to present a problem , but goes on to offer
a common sense solution -, or at least a
a substantial contribution towards a solution.

foreword in book by Dr. Julius Dintenfass

"There is much talk of the health crisis, rapidly rising costs, personnel shortages,
long waits to get into hospitals, nursing homes, doctors' offices, Medicare and MedicAid.
There is less talk of the disorganized, ineffecient, fragmented, no system through which the Americans,
rich and poor, get their medical care. It accounts, in part, for the medical crisis...."
