NOTES

The list does not include newspaper articles, book reviews published in journals, letters to newspapers and the like. Several articles were published in the Futures pages of the Guardian, notably: Coup de grass (on heart disease), 14 Oct. 1982. A menace in slow retreat (strokes), 30 Dec. 1982. Why there is no pleasure without pain (on drug addiction), 11 Aug. 1983. Slow movers live longer, 6 Oct. 1983. Improvements required to Doctor Barney’s costly last resort (on the first application of an artificial heart). 23 Feb.1984. Bitter sweet (correlation between breast cancer and sugar consumption), 26 July 1984. It’s hard to put a label on a disease and make it stick (on legislation on food labelling), 19 Apr. 1985. I also had some newspaper articles published in Hungarian in the early 1930s. I am also regular contributor to the Newsletter of the Society for Environmental Therapy, editor Dr. Vicky Rippere.

The book of which Mr Seely is the principal author, Ref. 37, was published in 1985 by Croom Helm, U.K., and AVI publishers, U.S.   Since then Croom Helm amalgamated with Routledge, Chapman and Hall. The book was reprinted in 1986 and sold about 4000 copies. It is still in print. It had many favourable reviews at home and abroad, e.g. in the Jerusalem Post.

Articles have been published about Mr Seely in local papers, e.g. ‘Top honour for the self-taught medicine man’, Manchester Evening News, 20 Dec. 1993.
