I'm going to use my Macintosh graphics to blow it up in large fancy print and mount it in my waiting room at the Holistic Medical Centre. Steve's problem seems to be that he would sooner wait till there is no doubt in anyone's mind before he looks at it. I would sooner look at it and make up my own mind. Some people reach out for the gold ring--others must wait to have it placed on their finger. Both approaches are valid; people choose. I could have learned about this expanded way of looking at the world many years ago. I think the reason I didn't was that I was a lot like Steve: I wouldn't believe in anything unless I could sense it with one of the usually accepted human senses. Then the electron microscope was developed; and then the Nuclear-magnetic Scanner--I began to notice that the world really was put together as the quantum physicists said and not as my senses said. Once I passed that block the whole world began to look different. I still have a long way to go but at least I'm not afraid to look through the newly opened door. GIVE ME A CALL IN ABOUT 5 YEARS---I'LL STAND ON THE FOLLOWING QUOTE: > "We all know there have been occasions when top scientists ridiculed ideas > that later proved to be sound. We all know that great scientists have held > opinions, both in and out of their specialized fields, that turned out to > be hopelessly wrong. Let us not waste time belaboring the obvious. Nor > must we forget that for every example of a crank who later became a hero > there were thousands of cranks who forever remained cranks. We must not > forget that for every outcast theory raised to respectability by a > scientific revolution there were thousands of crazy theories that > permanently bit the dust." > -- > /Steve Dyer : ELECTROMAGNETIC SMOG---A challenge cbosgd!ukma!wws -- Walt Stoll, MD, ABFP Founder, & Medical Director Holistic Medical Centre 1412 N.
