Dr. Jenkins is the most thoroughly knowledgeable healthcare professional I know. He's better read than most MD's, and more trustworthy than the medical journals. He understands more about pharmaceuticals than anyone. Several times he has warned me about the danger of some drug, years before it is reported in the mainstream press. There is nobody I trust more to tell me the truth about how to care for my health.
