I imagine that there are countless additional accounts by other physicians who have realized the essential link with nature and the need in modern world to reconnect that link in the lives of their patients.

My comment atr the biodynamics site:
"Much Gratitude for all of this and especially regarding the importance of our link with nature - a largely missing link that (amazes me) appears to
