Dr. Laird and I participated in a grant awarded to the Univ. of AZ (Tucson) from the Indian Health Institute. Our task was to determine the antidotal treatment for Isoniazid poisoning. Isoniazid is a tuberculostatic drug, and while effective against Tuberculosis (TB) now has to be combined with other drugs because of the resistant strains of TB.

The human body is a dynamic machine. We have been designed and created to move,react, create force, withstand being pulled, twisted, and undergo various stressors.
