SheLi TENS
SheLi TENS Starting in 1963 I began research to find a safe, non-surgical approach for pain. My lab experiments led me to extensive electrophysiological studies on pain.

SAUNA—HOT HEALTH I recently revisited an article that originally intrigued me in 1981.

POLICOSANOL AND THE STATIN WAR
POLICOSANOL AND THE STATIN WAR On May 17, 2006, the JAMA carried a mundane little article stating that policosanol was ineffective in reducing cholesterol (1).
