millions of sufferers who might benefit from this medication.

research and scientific investigations that were noted in this

—
Remarkable Man Has Been Overlooked especially by the

to help people. May God richely bless you for all you've done.
—
You're truly a great man. H.R.
What you have written is stunning, both from what you hav—e to say
about phenytoin and what I learned about the USA FDA. M.K.
I just finished reading your book and I found it just as hard to
put down as any Mark Twain or Zane Grey works. Quite a
monument to the futility of trying to make sense out of
—
politicians. E.D.
Since I read your book I have felt the need to tell you how much
I enjoyed your story. I really—didn't want your book to end
because it was so much fun thanks for the pure pleasure.

S.R.B.
There just aren't any words for how grateful I am. I suffered from
hypoglycemia, migraine headaches, terrible nausea, awful
anxiety and many other symptoms. When my doctor gave me
— —
phenytoin my life changed. I am enjoying life again. M.B.
The most interesting book that I have ever read. When I think of
how the FDA treated you, and your subject, I am reminded of
Mark Twain, "When angry, count four, when very angry, swear."
—
C.B.G.
I have been on phenytoin myself for just one week and it has
made a dramatic difference in my mood, energy level and focus.
—
Thank you! CM.
You have done an invaluable service for others. God bless you for
—
your dedication. L.O.
Phenytoin has made an extraordinary difference in my life. What
is so extraordinary is the clarity of mind which I'd thought I'd
lost forever.
—
Thank you! CM.
I wanted to write to thank you. I've suffered from anxiety for 15
years, tried probably every medication that's indicated for this
affliction, but never got the relief that I've gotten from PHT.
—
R.T.
I have just finished reading Lion with tears a plenty. Thank you
—
for such a great contribution! B.N.
Phenytoin has restored my joy, my vitality, my clarity and my
My
balance. life is just as stressful as ever but I can take a deep
—
breath, focus and deal with it. I even feel joy again. M.D.
Jack has a wonderful sense of humor. I was so sick I'd pray and
ask God for wisdom and he let me find out about Jack and
—
phenytoin! I've been given my life back. M.B.
