“Janet Travell is a genius. And when I say genius, I mean she has created an entire field of medicine, on her own — developed the science, developed the practical applications of it — where there was no field before. She has understood things that people didn’t understand before, codified them in a book so people can share them and understand them, taught them to disciples, and made it all work. She has filled a vacuum where people didn't even know there was a vacuum before, in terms of medical knowledge.”
— Henry Fishman, M.D.
