Luckily we have another 'seven billion - one' persons to share this misery
with us :-)

Don't they award Nobel Prizes to individuals for pointing out potentially
serious problems? When I was 25 years old, and came across Dr. Barlows
book, I realized within half an hour that we are faced with a major
problem. And here we have a situation, where main line scientists, simply
do not acknowledge that a problem exists!

I spent about a month on a discussion group about 10 years back where
Medical Professionals and Chiropractors were throwing muck at one another,
refusing to acknowledge serious deficiency on their own parts. Medical
Professionals refusing to acknowledge that distortion of the skeletal
system exists and that it is a serious issue, and Chiropractors refusing to
acknowledge that forceful alignment of the skeletal system could be
dangerous.

With our inability to apply A,B,C, of common sense, we can look forward to
sharing our mutual miseries for a long time to come.

Regards,
Selvaraj
