Her condition doesn't seem to have improved yet. Can anyone offer any advice on this? She has cut sugar and yeast from her diet. -=> Yours sincerely, Chris McCarthy <=- --- Terminate 5.00 UnReg(86) * Origin: Terminate does both QWK offline-mail and fido-mail!

I have just received news that my grandfather has a tumor in his liver & one in his prostate. The doctor told him that he has 4-6 months to live. Of course doctors only know drugs, not natural medicines... so I was wondering if anyone knew of something alternative that my grandfather could take to help ward off the tumors. I heard briefly that Dandilion works on the liver, but I do not know to what extent. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot. David ...

I have heard the same about using garlic to repel mosquitos.

Trademarked Pycnogenol has been shown to be one of the leading causes of WDS (wallet depletion syndrome). There are two types: pine bark extract and grape seed extract. They are identical. Stay away from multi-level marketers and buy the least expensive. BTW, I tired pyc for something that researchers say it should be effective for,and found it useless. There has never been a showing by clinical trials of Pygnogenol being safe and effective for treating ADHD. Stick to methylphenidate or whatever your doctor prescribes. The Few. The Proud.

Last year we got away with no fleas in the house, our cats were on Program, and I didn't allow flea ridden dogs (my kids' dogs) in the house. I know, though, that the fleas can be brought in just about on anything, so I think we were just lucky. Last year fleas caused us high vet bills, as the cats ended up with tapeworm. --- GAPNet Enhanced * Origin: QUACKERS BBS - Cleveland, Ohio (1:157/443.0)
