“A woman discovers the source of cancer is bacterial, rather than viral, and spends years in the mid-1900s researching a protocol to successfully destroy it. But the medical establishment vilifies and ignores her findings. So she goes it alone, establishing her own medical clinic that has phenomenal survival rates. Sounds like a Michael Crichton techno-thriller? No way! It’s the real-life story of Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, M.D., a brilliant, stubborn, pioneering microbiologist and epidemiologist whose cure for cancer will one day be viewed alongside the discoveries of Pasteur, Curie, and Salk/Sabin.” – from Basic Health Publications (publisher)

He has written everything from novels, non-fiction, screenplays, celebrity interviews, and sport columns to science and health-based articles and books.
