My undergrad work was microbio; emphasis on pathology. If this bird flu thing goes 'ballistic' on us, the information is as follows: [1] This bird flu is VERY close to the Swine Flu of the 1918 epidemic. [2] Gelsemium and Bryonia were the most frequently indicated materia medica for treating Swine Flu in 1918. [3] There are NO effective treatments for viral infections, as per the sort of medicine practiced by the AMA. [4] You can get gelsemium and bryonia, 250 pills, for about $7 each vial. So....the question becomes.... ....how much is your life [or that of a loved one] worth? [Stupidity: Ignorance with pride.] P.P.P.S. My undergrad work was microbio; emphasis on pathology.

About the cantharis vs. scar tissue. I've got a burn at the extreme heel of my right thumb from a brush with the broiler element in the oven from last holiday season cooking. The only indication of anything is damn near invisible.... P.P.S. About the cantharis vs. scar tissue.

No pain within 15 minutes of taking the materia medica and, generally speaking, NO SCAR TISSUE. How's THAT for 'placebo effect'? Regards, Chuck(le) TO: steve b & Kate

It's like when you make a checkbook error - <i>in your favor</i> - and suddenly you have more money than you thought you did! I hope the gardening goes well. We've had so much rain here - I'm still afraid to go out into the backyard. It's going to take more than a couple of days to dry out. Yay!
