I figured this out early in life by reading a lot of books. Later on got confirmation from some of them that I was on the right track. We used to provide both structure and discipline for children so that they could learn to use their minds. We gave that up. Only by some hard work of one kind or another does the ability to use the mind as the receiver come to one. Otherwise, we remain full of static and glaring noise until the day we die. And then no real inner healing is possible at all. "Somewhere" I found and clipped out or downloaded information that we actually have tiny magnets in our brains. There is the metaphysical school that says God is a universal intelligence that we can all learn to tap into in time. Whatever is out there is very useful when one is alone, at night, with a unit full of sick humans. Very useful indeed. * SLMR 2.1a * We all live in a yellow subroutine. - JetMail v1.20*6 - Unregistered QWK Mail Door for Spitfire --- FreeMail 1.10 alpha-3 * Origin: PEACHY KEENO INN BBS * Tacoma,Wa * (206)539-0804 (1:138/190.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 257 ALTERN.

You may well be right. I know personally one person who really did cure his tinnitus with it (after hearing that it was supposedly good for treating this condition). Other than that my knowledge of ginkgo is zero as that scientific confirmation (serious) is just not there.

If you want to follow the international struggle to keep access to "alternate medicinals" "free", I think I left the sender's address in that message. Sending Alan Hammel any kind of message will put you on the mailing list to which he sent that message. You can't do that unless you have an e-mail account, of course. U.S. residents can get a totally free e-mail only account via JUNO, which has a web page. Alan Hammel is a member of the Life Extension Foundation, and they have web page, too. I think he may also have his own. There are also a few on ODEX (sp?), the attempt to standardize "alternate medicinals" under GATT and make them all perscription drugs. --- PCBoard/2 15.30 * Origin: The 128th Parallel Seminole,Fl 28.8k 813/397-1339 (1:3603/210) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 257 ALTERN.

In the jewish home land of Isreal the problem is just as bad here. just because a culture has had the drink around for hundreds of years doesn't mean they are Imune to its affects.. The problem of addiction is caused by the enviorment surrounding the person. I THINK THAT the reason that this is problem is so bad today on native lands is because of lack of control of booze.
