"I wanted to thank you for your letter ... regarding bacteriophages and Alzheimer's. 
The information is very interesting and we thank you for bringing it to our attention."
 
Robin Henne
Research Grants Officer
Alzheimer's Research Trust
 

"Best thanks for The health value of bacteriophages.
No doubt, this is a very important contribution to the progress of phage therapy,
providing relevant information to everybody in a sensible way."
 
Prof. Andrzej Gorski
Vice President, Polish Academy of Sciences
 

"I offer my warm congratulations."
 
Lady Julia Boyd
Chairman of the Council, Winston Churchill Memorial Trust
 

"Your website suggests you have an innovative approach to health and well-being,
backed by genuine commitment to these principles. You discuss education, arts,
health, citizenship and the well-being of local communities - an interesting combination.
Here in the acute sector, more and more emphasis is being placed on, for example,
our social responsibility, as much as clinical research and treatment. Equally, in 
the Royal Maternity Hospital, aromatherapy is being introduced as part of ante natal classes.
The Royal Group of Hospitals Trust has no hesitation in embracing these changes and,
as Northern Ireland's leading healthcare provider,
more often than not we are at the forefront of change."

"A great breakthrough! Now, what we have learnt over the years, and is somewhere within our disorganised researches, has been found for us within officialdom. Many thanks to you, Grace."

"Many thanks for your thoughtful contribution to the museum's treatment of phage and its role in the management of mrsa. Phage of course lies at the heart of western biomedicine. Its therapeutic promise is the theme of that great science novel of the 1920s Martin Arrowsmith and indeed spurred on the research that led to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Phage have also from time to time been proposed as cures for cancer and have been used as such in Russia.
 
So any treatment of them should be part of our treatment of antibiotics (broadly construed) rather than within the alternative medical traditions dealt with in the current redisplay ... We shall certainly keep their importance in mind...
