He joined with other doctors to form the Committee of Responsibility and led the group's first mission to rescue injured children from the war zone, providing needed treatment while highlighting the war's brutality. He also attacks the influence of major corporations on the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and other research institutions. Epstein since then has launched the Cancer Prevention Coalition and published The Breast Cancer Prevention Program and The Safe Shoppers' Bible.

Lots of sunshine and a strong dose of democracy.
