We are collecting the unpublished papers ["hand-outs"] that Jack W. Provonsha, M.D., Ph.D distributed to his audiences at Loma Linda University and elsewhere.
Our goal is to compile as many copies of them as possible at Loma Linda University where students and teachers can study them. This is our first goal.
Our our next is to post all of Doctor Provonsha's unpublished papers on the Internet. We have started this at www.ponderanew.typepad.com/jackwprovonsha Our third is to publish a selection of them in a smaller book that will be of interest to many.
Reading these papers again after so many years has been a refreshing and rewarding experience. We'd like others to experience it too!
Here is a list of the papers we know of so far. Except for those that are in bold type, we have all of them. If you have the ones we are missing, or if you or anyone else knows of other papers, we would appreciate the opportunity to photocopy them for the growing collection. Thank you!
