Dear Bill,
I hope you are doing well. I am also well. It has now been one week since the beginning of Ramadan, and I, along with all members of Congress 60, are fasting and preparing iftar or dinner for all members. As you surely remember, during this one month of Ramadan, free dinners are provided in all branches.
Dear Bill,
The reason for my delayed response is this holy month of Ramadan and my fasting, during which my writing activities are usually paused. Even my worldview classes, where I normally give a weekly lecture, are suspended, and my son Amin is leading them in my place.
Given the current circumstances, for about ten days now we have begun the animal testing phase of the heroin project on 72 laboratory rats. All of the rats have now been made dependent through heroin injections, and we have stopped the injections. The next phase involves comparing the addicted rats with several healthy ones to demonstrate their treatment using the DST method and the OT medication.
I hope that after completing the heroin project, we will also be able to carry out the project on inducing alcohol dependence in the rats. I am doing my utmost, under all conditions, to continue our research work and projects.
In addition, I still have not been able to access our article in the Journal of Alcoholism Treatment. I hope to obtain the full version of the article very soon.
My dear friend,
In this blessed month of Ramadan, I pray to God to grant you complete health soon so that we may continue our work well, as we still have much to accomplish together.
Here, since it is Ramadan, I say goodbye and entrust you to Almighty God.
By the way, the weight loss book has reached its third printing—10,000 copies. I will send the photos.
Your friend and brother on earth and in heaven,
May you always stand firm with the strength and endurance of the mountains.
Hossein
