	As a medical layman, I read the recent articles on
holistic medicine with some interest (but not the "vested"
kind).  I like the "holistic" idea, and if Dr. Stoll had said
less about it I would have been more receptive.  
	But when he tells us "Rabies is psychosomatic", I
start remembering lessons from my high school days.
Like - in eighth grade science, a big point was that
scientists test their theories by experiments.  And in tenth
grade English, we spent some weeks on the subject of
"Propaganda," and learned that an article does not necessarily
prove the claims made in its headline - critical reading is
necessary.  Well, as we all know by now, his article didn't
prove that rabies is psychosomatic.  This particular theory is
not borne out by this expaeriment.  
	Even if I had dropped out of school after tenth grade,
I would still have learned enough to see through Dr. Stoll.

Regards,
Chris
