A Difference Has Been Made...

Abstract

A few months ago, a letter to the editor was submitted by Dr. Axel Wiebrecht, a highly respected expert in Chinese Herbal Therapy, particularly known for his emphasis on safety. Dr. Wiebrecht is also actively involved as a reviewer for Complementary Medicine Research (CMR). According to CMR's guidelines for authors “Letters may explore subjects related to matters discussed in the journal, providing the author’s perspective on a subject. Letters may discuss a recently published article and may lend support or constructively critique the article in line with the author’s experience...”. Although it's not uncommon for experts like Dr. Wiebrecht to submit letters, his letter stood out immediately. His perspective was uncommonly noteworthy, and I found myself drawn to his argument.
