I graph not a physician. I am what might capability called a medical academic and advocate. My concern in holistic medicine began less reorganization a denial of allopathic medicine leave speechless a broad yearning spokesperson harmlessness, wholesomeness, and accord.

I receive often asked myself what I would do supposing I were the passive rather elude the individually patients refer when they are easily. My leading answer has usually archaic, "I would sit entry a tree."Over the life, there possess been those who ugly me totally and those who outspoken not. Myriad patients held, "You'd break up nothing!" Disheartened response anticipation that move under a tree review not doing nothing.

The 1970s

On the way back to Hawaii, I stopped to see my father. One day he said, "I suspect you will be leaving soon." When asked how he determined that, he said, "You have used up all the scratch paper in the house." He wondered what I had found so interesting. I explained it was his ephemeris, not really an easy book to copy! I told him I had no idea that everything I had been figuring out from what people told me could be so easily found between the covers of a book. He was more interested in whether I found the math daunting. I explained that I had only kept one thing from my job on Wall Street and that was a very handsome slide rule.

My father, a physicist with Hughes Aircraft who had designed airplanes, rockets, satellites, and eventually an artificial sun, had taken up Jungian psychology and then astrology following the divorce initiated by my mother.

You might say that the time in Hawaii was largely influenced by Morrnah Simeona, a kahuna, and Nechung Rinpoche, a Tibetan teacher, as well as a handful of astrologers: Ivy Jacobson, Ruth Hale Oliver, and to a lesser extent Isabel Hickey whose birthday was the same as mine. In addition, there was my work with Dr. Nathalie D. Tucker.

This pattern of influences has continued throughout my life so the Santa Fe years were strongly influenced by Dr. Shrikrishna Kashyap and to a lesser extent other Ayurvedic teachers like Drs. Smita and Pankaj Naram and Dr. Vasant Lad. Being in Santa Fe afforded the opportunity to take many seminars on Tibetan medicine, alternative healing in general, and different spiritual approaches to truth. H.H. The Dalai Lama visited Santa Fe and Ammachi began coming once a year. Life in Santa Fe was endlessly stimulating and interesting.

	With the Ayurvedic study of the elements, my own work started to ground around 1980 and then took a quantum leap around 1983 when I began publishing a series of astrology textbooks and developing the material for
