Whatever Happened to the Original Form of Christianity?

Thu. Jan. 26th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

A Response to the March 15 letter to the Reader entitled “Taking Gary Kohls to Task”

Thu. Mar. 22nd, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

I welcomed the challenges in last week’s Reader letter from Doctors D’Allaird, Doane, Duus, Heck, Jagim and Saracino to my occasional Duty to Warn columns that have mentioned unwelcome information about the dangers of the seriously over-prescribed and proven to be neurotoxic synthetic chemicals known as psychotropic drugs.

Thu. Apr. 19th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

The revolution of logic and reason must talk to the other side of the brain

Thu. Apr. 26th, 2012  |  Forrest Johnson

It may be time for an old fashioned revolt of the masses. An uprising for a sustainable planet and an educated populace that doesn’t fear the boogeyman and doesn’t form its opinions in the vacuum of intransigent thought will begin soon.

How Fascist-Leaning Are the Candidates and Their Paymasters?

Fri. Jun. 1st, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

The recall election of Wisconsin Republican governor and preacher’s kid Scott Walker will be held next week. Several of Walker’s fellow NeoConservative legislators are also on the recall ballot for betraying many of their constituents by…
