My compliments to Joan Brookhyser, RD, for her words of wisdom. =


Dietitians can, indeed, help to bridge the gap between allopathic and
alternative medicine---a marvelous opportunity---and a major goal for me
for over 15 years. While I do not officially qualify as an RD ---my
graduation/internship was completed long before qualified dietitians were=
identifying themselves as "RDs"---I serve as editor of a quarterly
newsletter for Washington State's Citizens for Alternative Health Care, a=
n organization with the primary goals of integrating the BEST of
alternativ= es with the BEST of allopathic medicine. 

In this regard, I would like to recommend a new book, The Homocysteine
Revolution, by Kilmer S. McCully, MD, published last May by Keats Pub. Co. 
 In my opinion, Dr.McCully's 30 years of research on nutrition can help
dietitians build a bridge over that "gap".  His homocysteine theory on
arteriosclerosis---and the increasing number of studies now supporting his
theory-- may do more to promote the importance of scientifically sound
nutrition for the prevention of disease than any other research in the pa=
st 50 years!  With that research dietitians should be able to make a major
contribution towards keeping people healthy as well as towards helping
reduce skyrocketing health care costs!  An exciting book---I would highly 
recommend it.
