Summary: 


Walt Stoll acts as if Holistic Physicians somehow originated the idea that
stress plays a role in disease contagion.  Sorry, guy, you folks don't get
the credit for that.  The epidemiologists (not exactly ignored by the
mainstream medical community) have understood this for years.  That resis-
tance is lowered when an individual is under stress is neither a new or
novel notion and predates the '60s by a long shot.

I worry that Walt didn't know this.  Just how well read is this turkey?
I have the feeling that if I were bitten by a rabid dog he would prescribe
bed rest, herbal tea and holistic therapy to avoid the onset of rabies.
Thanks, guy, but I'll take my chances with the technocrats and their shots!
