The Examiner of Medical Alternatives
Since 1983
| Welcome to the Townsend Letter
for Doctors & Patients web site. As Alan Gaby, M.D., our Medical Editor
wrote in an Editorial: "...what most doctors do today is an aberration; a deviation
from the centuries-old tradition of nontoxic, natural medicine. What we are doing should
not be called Alternative Medicine, because the name implies a deviation from the norm.
Natural healing, as it is practiced today by a small group of physicians, is the norm,
when viewed in the context of all of medical history."
