evocative quotes
Discover Magazine named me the " Real Doctor House ." The NY Post called me " Doctor Wheel-Good, Savior on Wheels ." Fox and Friends (see video section) then added " Doc-N-Roll ." I'm also known as the " Zebra Hunter ," using what I call " Einstein's Shaver " to diagnose medical mysteries, instead of "Occam's Razor," i.e., the method of diagnosis used by mainstream physicians. In medicine, "zebras" are the rare and unusual causes of common symptoms.
The Comprehensive Integrated Internist or "Comprehensivist:"
I call myself a " comprehensivist " : a medical detective trained in both mainstream and alternative medicine, applying "Einstein's Shaver" when hunting "zebras." The recent interest in my medical practice (and in-line skating habits) caught me by surprise. I had to take a deep introspective look at the " Real Doctor Bolte ." Apparently there is just as much pleasure derived from watching someone solve a mystery as there is in solving one.
Success in cracking a case is beyond indescribable. All of us solve mysteries every day, whether it's finding a lost key, or figuring out how the VCR works, etc. My mysteries involve people with compromised life-styles, with major issues concerning quality of life. They are usually robbed of the things all of us take for granted, such as the energy to walk through a park or enjoying a good book without an excruciating headache, and so on.

The Differential Diagnosis of Global Warming Possibilities, Implications and Outcomes
.. Ever wonder how much the Iraqi War is costing us ???
We're paying $275 Million per day to "liberate" a nation that doesn't want to be liberated. We're romping through a country we somehow presumed had weapons of mass destruction pointing in our direction, though we actually never found any.
$500 Billion could provide free full-coverage health care to 40 Million Americans (with no deductibles or co-payments, folks), and that's even excluding Medicare !!! I wonder how many solar panels we could have bought with $500 Billion... Probably enough to heat every home in America, as the average American household has already paid more than $4000 for the Iraqi War. Imagine if our government gave each American household a $4000 gift certificate or a credit card with $4000 credit, which one could use for medical expenses... Or to make a mortgage payment. Or to buy solar panels... Or to take a much-needed vacation... Or to buy that Prada pocketbook you had your eye on last Christmas (?) Or even just to sit in a money market account where it could accumulate interest???
If God turned all that oil into tangerine juice, would America still be concerned about "liberating" Iraq ??? It hit home one day when Home Depot ran out of 4' x 8' sheets of ply-wood, causing me to halt a house-construction project: Our government's been buying it all to re-build Iraq...
If Haliburton were a renewable energy company I bet we'd have the most elaborate and sophisticated solar and geothermal program on the planet, and our troops could be re-trained to install it all... Who could be mad at Dick Cheney for securing government contracts like that??? Don't ya think??
I hope our government has used some of that money to put tracking devices in every kidney dialysis machine on the market, because sooner or later Osama bin Laden will have to go to a medical supply store and buy a new one... If Haliburton owns Lo-jack then consider it done... Don't forget to put a couple of kidney machines on E-bay...
Cost of American Healthcare:
Over 30% of every healthcare dollar (almost $1 trillion) is spent on administrative overhead in private insurance compared to just 3.2% in Medicare administrative costs (Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy), so why in the world would any American agree to mandatory private health insurance coverage?
