By Erik L. Goldman | Editor in Chief - Vol. 3, No. 1. , 2002

In Memoriam: William R. Fair, MD

By Staff Writer - Vol. 3, No. 1. , 2002

Dr. William Fair was as old-school and conventional as any oncologic surgeon could get.

That diagnosis prompted him on a quest into the worlds of nutrition, yoga, meditation, botanical medicine and touch therapy.
