Prologue: All Progress Begins as Heresy
Dr. Levin's documented attempts by entrenched cartels, bureaucracies, and pharmaceutical companies to discredit holistic health practices and to resist changes in treatment modalities, even when the practices are shown to benefit patients.
Dr. Levin 's own story of his twenty year defense of alternative medicine and of his own practice.
Dr. Levin's open letter to President Obama encouraging Federal involvement in three controversial areas of American medicine: 1) mercury and fluorides in dentistry; 2 )the alarming rise in autism; and 3) endemic Lyme disease, noting that all three are entwined with one another, causally and therapeutically.
A report on work by Dr. Diane Harper on how the controversial vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates; there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15, even though the drugs are being recommended for girls as young as nine.

Linus Pauling says...

"I consider Dr. Warren Levin to be a good model of the changing practice of medicine to the extent that I have knowledge about him and from what I have read, and also from my ...acquaintance with him as a physician of the future who is interested not just in treating catastrophic illness with powerful drugs or other therapies, but also in doing what he can to improve the general health of the patient..

My feeling is that a proper part of the duty of a physician is to advise about nutrition-- the proper use of orthomolecular substances to improve the general health of the patient, and it is wise to carry out whatever tests or enzyme activity or vitamin concentration necessary to advise about nutrition...

It seems quite improper for the medical authorities to say that a physician cannot prescribe vitamins in whatever doses he considers appropriate in an effort to improve the health of the patient."
