Dr. Navzer D. Sachinvala /
Hi Professor Wheeler: I interacted with you in seminars taught by professors Debra Klob and Lawrence Susskinid, at PON between 1998-2004. Then I was Research Chemist with the USDA-ARS. My teachers, colleagues, and students in basic medical sciences always read and discussed reports and books by PON members. Through them we learned to be better human beings, and derived vicarious pleasure from beautifully crafted agreements as reported via PON publications. However, following multiple sclerosis, immobility, and an exceptionally arduous convalescence, I gained control of my hands to use 4-6 of 10 fingers and stand and walk with crutches. My colleagues (former students) Drs. Angeline Stergiou (psychiatrist; OH); Professors Guy Uechi (U.Pitt); and Morton Litt (Case Western, OH, my macromolecular science post-doctoral adviser) and I want to submit a manuscript entitled: Negotiating with Self - Choosing to Replace Fear with Reason in Difficult Situations & Making the Heuristic Habit. I am doing this because my teacher from Iran Professor Esmail Meisami (U.Ill, Urbana-Campaign) died Jan 21, 2013, and Essie got me interested in concepts of psychology, physiology, as they relate to human the immune-system. I also read about the Death of Richard Holebrook in the news papers. Could I please ask you to guide me through the publication in your Journal? Much stress can be interrupted by breathing and physiological adjustment as it occurs. I will keep the technical jargon out, and keep the language as if I am writing for a news paper. The article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Esmail Meisami, my physiology and neurology teacher in Iran 1977-1979. In addition, I will take full responsibility for publication and other costs as they occur. Please advise. I thank you in advance for your efforts. Best wishes, Nozar Navzer D.
