Alan Cantwell M.D. Jr.

He was my dermatologist for many years. His kindness was so appreciated. He was very caring and a great doctor!

I am saddened by the loss of this brilliant researcher and doctor. Read all his books. Without him, truth dims. Rest in peace!

Alan and I began a long correspondence in 1988 that lasted into this century. We both shared a passion for resolving the "cancer microbe" controversy, and Alan spent many tedious hours generously helping and encouraging me with a manuscript.

I will always miss him.

Your courage, your mischievous humor, your erudition, and elegant hands I will surely miss.

What of the few medical professionals who spoke the truth about AIDS. Such a brave man! Rest in Power my brother!
