Editors,
We must agree with Kurt C. Stange, the author of this interesting paper, who state that such manuscripts (i.e., articles of family physicians) be evaluated on the basis of 4 criteria: plausibility, support from the basic sciences and appropriate literature, clarity of the concepts, and reproducibility of the procedures (1).

Editors,
We must agree with Kurt C. Stange, the author of this interesting paper, who state that such manuscripts (i.e., articles of family physicians) be evaluated on the basis of 4 criteria: plausibility, support from the basic sciences and appropriate literature, clarity of the concepts, and reproducibility of the procedures (1). In addition, I’dd like to underscore Blankfield’s note:"it would be a welcome development if peer-reviewed family medicine journals took an interest in publishing observations and ideas that do not fit the conventional mold."(2). At this point, I am delighted with the comments on Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics, posted on Annals website (3-7), but I regret that such my discoveries as Biophysical Semeiotic Constitutions (8), CAD Inherited Real Risk (9), Oncological Terrain and Inherited Oncological Real Risk (10), among a lot of others (www.semeioticabiofisica.it), are not accepted for publication on Annals.
