ezs note: Yeah... this is a really long article. It also is difficult to read, even when you are fairly erudite. However, it is also one of the most seminal articles you will ever read. It is published by The Lancet, which, besides The New England Journal of Medicine, is without peer. Please download the article and send it to your doctor, her/his nurses, and legislators.

ezs note: If this paragraph were written by a janitor or a substitute teacher, yeah, maybe I'd give him/her a pass. But a principal??? I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I'd think long and hard if I were offered this position.

ezs note: A few tips are in order here: Read the entire article, including hotlinks. Don't just give it a quick skim. Next, see an American Medical Association (AMA) accredited physician to discuss the benefits and risks you are taking. It's your decision - make it an informed one.
