Remarks on Dr. Henderson’s Appeal to the Bible Society, on the Subject of the Turkish Version of the New Testament (1824)

I wish to express my appreciation for the consistent efforts of Dr. Abdel J. Nuriddin to keep our community informed of the latest advances in medicine. Too often our professional colleagues are not afforded the necessary time for journal review to keep up with the overwhelming explosion of knowledge in medicine. It has been the traditional practice of Western medicine, in the recent past, that has held the conventional thinking that excluded the holistic approach to medicine, to the point of subtly suggesting that any other method of patient treatment borders on quackery. Recently, many patients with terminal diagnosis have sought the counsel and treatment outside the mode of conventional medicine with remarkable results. The best outcome for most of these patients has been the blending of the knowledge, not of one, but of both worlds.
