Greetings Dean:

Want to thank the Lord and Lady Dean for their continued support, empathy and encouragement in dealing with my maladies. The Western Household has well not been quite so willing to extend consolation. However lately the Dean has taken to quoting the Bible, Medice, cura te ipsum Physician heal thyself. At first, I really did not completely understand the reason behind reference.

At the same time, I was somewhat taken aback to learn that the Society has abolished St Patrick's Day. I am given to understand that it is a public holiday in the most unlikely place, Northern Ireland. The Society cannot extend, I'm informed, its respect to people who have no respect for themselves. I am to understand that Fullosia Press will continue to accept submissions which are seasonally appropriate but no longer requires England or Ireland to serve as a theme. In one sense I am pleased that in framing my mentorial I m no longer constrained to direct my efforts to a particular theme. As you know Dean, I enjoy discoursing on health and nutrition. Sometimes, when I go into my discourses, I assume that the Dean merely checks his notes or rewinds the tape.

For this reason, I was pleasantly surprised when the Society assigned me the task of researching the education of naturopathic physician to determine whether the medical discipline of naturopathy has a valid scientific basis. Natural Medicine, Dean, is not witchcraft or shamanism. It does stress health and nutrition, but the coursework requires a study of all the subjects required of an allopathic physician. When I presented my findings, I found to my shock and dismay the Dean had no interest in naturopathy per se but required the Mentor to research the curricula of Schools of Naturopathy in order that the Mentor be encouraged to pursue a study of it so that the Mentor may quit feeling sorry for himself by reason of being physically unable to return to the sea. It is true that I am working on a book on the History of medicine. I even picked the proverb of a Zen Master to the effect I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry. The Dean recognized the words as having a far less noble origin, Irish drinking songs, two of them no less, The Moonshiner and The Wild Rover.

No matter at one time the various schools of Medicine, allopathic, homeopathic, chiropractic and osteopathic were in competition. But, following the Flexner Report promulgated by the Rockefeller Foundation to promote its oil - based pharmaceuticals managed to legislate all schools except the pill pushing allopathic (MD) and osteopathic physicians out of existence. Gradually, chiropractic and naturopathic have made a comeback. Naturopathy is now legal in about 20 states. When it passes in 25 states, the other half will probably quickly follow in recognizing the discipline. The Dean solicitously informs me that without the academic credentials, I could not attract interest in my book. Since then he has upbraided the mentor with the words: Medice, cura te ipsum Physician heal thyself.

The Dean has been correct on one issue. There is only so much sympathy that friends and family can give and so much moaning they will tolerate. At some point, they will and must say: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula. Rise take up thy bed and walk. I have taken this up with the Jehovah Witnesses. To the contrary, Lord Dean, they say it is never too late for Jehovah.

On that note Lord Dean, I bid you a most Cheery Cherio, Cherio Dean Cherio

Dr. Jeff Wordsmith:
Donald Trump: CULT OF PERSONALITY

The Great Scot

Donald Trump was born in Jamaica Estates, New York, in 1946. He has been a businessman and TV personality and is now the 45th President of the USA. His private life is colorful. He was married in 1977 to Ivana Zelnickova, in 1993 to Mola Maples and in 2015 to Melania Knauss of Slovenia in the former Yugoslavia. The new First Lady will be an ex-model. Scandals surrounding his affairs with women were raked up by the muck-load during his campaign. More seriously, he has been accused of sexual discrimination and in his new Cabinet, there is only one woman, Betsy DeVos, Secretary for Education. He is a Presbyterian but when one of his daughters converted to Judaism, he said he was proud of her. His mother, Mary Anne Macleod, was a Scot from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, a spectacular place, which I was privileged to visit once, and of which Donald Trump apparently cherishes very fond memories. He may visit. He is an Anglophile. However, his father, Fred Trump, was born of German parents, one Friedrich Drumpf. At the age of thirteen, he was educated at the Military Academy of New York.

He took a B. Sc. In Economics at Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and then entered the family firm of Elizabeth Trump and Son. It was a construction firm and he soon set to work building for the middle classes on Staten Island, in Queens and Brooklyn. His first big project was in Ohio, where his father had bought property for $5.7m in 1962 and he developed it and sold it for $6.7m in 1972. In 1971, he was at work in Manhattan, where he bought Penn Station for $60m. Supported by a forty-year loan from the government of New York, he founded the Trump Organization and built again. In the 1980s, many of his deals turned sour but by the 1990s, he hit the road again. In 2001, he built Trump Towers, an apartment block of seventy-two apartments in downtown Manhattan, close to the UN Building, and Trump Place on the River Hudson. He built hotels and casinos in various cities across the States as well as in Panama, Brazil and the Caribbean. He even planted a hotel in Dubai. He is now worth $4.5 bn and is the 324th richest guy in the world and the 113th richest in the US. He owns a football club in New Jersey. Quite some guy!

John Blandy:
BLUNTLY STATED

Hollywood Poets Beware!

I was full of crap,
then I went to Hollywood.
Now, I'm covered with it
and I'm still full of crap,
but I don't care anymore.

At the office I asked,
"How old is your son?"
She said,
"He'll be 3 next month."
I felt like saying,
"Did I ask you how old he
was going to be?"

When I grow up

I wanted to be a soldier in an
army of men who wore the full armor of God
but knew I lacked courage.

I googled courage,
but it did`t help any more than
the time I googled
the meaning of life.

I`m still guessing at that.

Dr Wordsmith: Trump Cult of Leadership
cont'd from col 1

In 2005, The Donald as he was called at the time hosted a reality show, “The Apprentice”, which was a star-studded show with many firms competing for prizes of up to $250,000 and this put him in the limelight. In politics, he has in fact made donations to both Republicans and Democrats. However, he supported Ronald Reagan`s campaign in the 1980s and Mitt Romney`s bid in 2012. In April, 2011, he challenged Obama`s legitimacy to be President and demanded to see his birth certificate. Trump has also addressed adherents of the Tea Party movement.

He wants to put a ban on Moslem immigration to the States for fear of Islamic Terrorism. It may well be a good idea. For Europe, it is too late. Britain probably has 8% Moslems, mainly Pakistani and Bangladeshi, France has almost 15%, mainly from North Africa and Algeria, and Germany also has very many, Turks and Arabs. They are also present in large numbers in other countries.

He has characterized Mexican immigrants as “corrupt, criminal and violent”. This is unfortunately very true. Mexico is a violent society torn apart by wars between the government and drugs barons. Some Mexicans are trading in illicit drugs and keep an automatic under the bed. All people are equal. However, you have to safeguard yourself against being mugged or murdered. The Latino community in the States is up in arms against this. Quite understandably. Also, Trump`s assertion that he wants a wall put up between Mexico and the US to be paid for by the Mexicans will have to be seen to be believed. But the guy is serious!

Regarding China, Trump will have to tread warily. He has already received protests about his message to the President of Taiwan. Lu Kang, a spokesman for China, stated flatly that China`s policy of a “united China” was non-negotiable i.e. the Chinese want Taiwan. They have also been fortifying islands in the South China Sea and building artificial islands there to use as a military base. Their pronouncements vis-à-vis Japan and particularly its role in the Second World War have also been stepping up in belligerence. Their ally, North Korea, has been shooting off rockets and in other ways threatening Seoul. This all has to be negotiable and I am confident that Mr. Trump is the man to engineer a step-down in hostilities. Over the past fifty to sixty years, America has been heavily involved in trade with South Korea, Japan and the Philippines as well as trade with other south-east Asian countries. The Chinese now regard this as their territory.
