Introduction and reason for this article being here

Whether you love him or hate him, you can't argue that this man isn't a force of nature, and has changed American medicine and healing. He definitely is worthy of an encyclopedia entry. Hopefully, that entry will give his whole life a fair hearing and not try to present one viewpoint over another. I feel that the Wikipedia article in 2023 about Dr. Chopra is biased and heavily pushing a scientific reductionist view. This is particularly a problem with dealing with this healer and physician originally from India, who has a long history of infusing spirituality into physical healing, and integrating empirical, medical knowledge with that of spiritual realization...an article on such an individual should not be a purely skeptical science hack job on a doctor that dares to speaks of things beyond mechanistic pharmaceuticals and biochemistry. I have heavily edited the original article. Jack S. Byrom (talk) 22:23, 13 March 2023 (CDT)
