Following reading the book Autoimmune Reactions and the Immune System, Martin Waaijer sent the following reaction:
I read your autoimmune book with great pleasure. It is a fascinating story with multiple perspectives. I am impressed by your systematic approach and the evolutionary angle you chose. It is a delight to see the storylines converge. Your interpretation of science and your inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci are also crucial. It also pleases me to see psychology, psychiatry, and medical science come together rather than being treated as separate disciplines. The historical and linguistic perspectives also contribute to the story. Finally, it is quite clear to me why people have had to wait so long for this story. We were waiting for a true ‘homo universalis’, and that is you, just like Leonardo da Vinci. I hope your book will have a real impact, because that is truly necessary.
