I have now treated a number of senior staffs with coronary disease at the clinic - Senior staff physicians . I have also treated a number of senior staff trustee . one of the trustees knows about the frustrations that we've had trying to get this into clinic, and he says " I think, if the word gets out the Cleveland Clinic , and it's been used by senior staff and he's treated senior trustee, but he's not permitted to treat the common herd, we could be open for a lawsuit."

For the time being ,Ess , with his wife's help , will continue to use counselling sessions out of his own home because the institution to which he gave the greater part of his life does not want to endorse dietary approach that competes with its standard menu of pills and procedures .
