I first met Dr. Rashid A. Buttar at a medical conference about five years ago. We had much in common. A year later I went to one of his AMESPA physician training courses and was amazed at the effort and creativity he had put into bringing medicine into the 21st century. I have learned a lot from him since. We’ve written papers together, become good friends and have been close associates ever since.
