About the Author

Wallace L. Salzman, a native of Brooklyn New York, has been committed to the study and practice of Medicine all of his adult life. After attending Johns Hopkins University and completing his residency in Internal Medicine in New Jersey, he entered general practice in Libertyville, Illinois, where he still lives. For many years, Salzman has been dedicated to enhancing the medical and academic communities in which he resides. After serving as a Lieutenant in the Navy Medical Corps from 1954 to 1956, he returned to private practice and founded the Libertyville Medical Group. He acted as Chief of Staff at Condell Memorial Hospital in 1961 and 1962 and continued to remain active as a lecturer and chairman of several committees. As well as a devoted medical professional, Salzman has also distinguished himself as a leader. He designed the first Coronary Care unit in Lake County and chaired the unit for eight years, as well as being a charter member of the American Academy of Family Practice. He has been an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the Chicago Medical School for over thirty years. In the past ten years Salzman has cut down on some of his volunteer activities in order to focus more on his teaching and writing. This Novel/Treatise is the third of a Trilogy that creates the essential background for understanding a Compendium on Alternative Care or Integrative Medicine that is still in the writing. His interests include travel, teaching, malacology, and gardening. The father of eight, Salzman was prompted to write because of his questioning of many of the doctrines of the teachers of his past, and the need to write his views on the solutions to the problems of his many patients that didn’t respond to traditional medicine.
