(Response was via cell phone message) Hello this is Dr. Adams. I wanted to let you know that I got your email, and I do agree with you as far as the necessity and, uh, everything. I’ll have the office call Monday to schedule an appointment. But everything here sounds reasonable, and I would not disagree with watchful waiting. Thank you.   [End]

Dear Dr. Adams: I really hope this important message reaches you, and you will take the time to read it. The ortho is ”deeply concerned” with the continued ”irregularity” of Nani’s proximal femur (that also has the continued appearance of ”ground glass”) and now we are to go get an MRI. I was told he would want to consult with you to determine if she should just be heavily sedated prior to the procedure, or if an anesthesiologist should be brought on board to put her under. Nani has already undergone six x-rays in four short weeks ... repeated radiation on a child whose bone ...

You are right, why hide anything? On top of all of my stress, I was just worrying about the world we live in nowadays i.e. children being taken outside of parent’s decision-making rights, and becoming wards of the State if parent’s disagree with their conventional medical protocol. (I thought these procedures were going to be forced upon us.) I’ll follow my gut/heart, and stand my ground. Thank you very much for your suggestions and time, Tony.

I still don’t understand, Trapper. For all your profound verbiage you are oft times very vague ... or at least to me, you are. (Sorry.) WHAT specifically are you calling ”the DECEPTION?” The ”end times?” The ”rapture?” The ”first resurrection?” Jesus’ return to ”kick major ass and re-establish His kingdom on earth?” The ”second resurrection?” ”Third?” What? (edited to add) No way WHAT is gonna happen? ”the rulers of this world will continue to perpetuate THE DECEPTION as far as they can.” Define deception.   [End]

Thank you for sharing such deeply touching songs with me. I’d have never imagined you familiar (let alone, appreciating) this genre. I find myself impressed and intrigued by your song selections.

A beloved blue budgie flew the coop Wednesday while cleaning. Sweeped a hard right on Mockingbird Street. Gliding gusts of breeze … slicing limbs of trees … to show me how she can ascend bleak barriers with greater ease than we both dreamed feasible. Her blueness melted into the other blueness —while mine congealed. (bcrow 09-13-07)   [End]

As far as the comparison between the Expeller Pressed and Virgin ... EPCO still has the medium chain fatty acids/tryglicerides (MCTs) that are the major reason for the health benefits of Coconut 0il. These are what studies say increase metabolism, fight against viruses and bacteria, etc. What the EPCO is missing is some of the nutrients and anti-oxidant properties that are in VCNO, like Vitamin E, for example (although Coconut 0il is not a real significant source of vitamin E: Palm oil is better for that.) How much this affects the body is really unknown. The general rule in nutrit ...

The best Coconut Oil will be labeled ”cold-pressed virgin Coconut Oil”. In this way, there is absolutely no interference with the chemical structure of the valuable acids present in the oil. ”Virgin” is not an official class. It only signifies that the oil is less refined, meaning less heat & without chemicals. The ”refined” Coconut Oil, OTOH, is tainted with the process of drying the copra (dried coconut) in open, unsanitary conditions. It is then processed with high heat & chemicals to remove all contaminants. This is known as the RBD method; refined, bleached, and deodorized. It i ...

We had my oldest daughter on acne meds BEFORE I found Curezone. Talk about a traumatic experience. NOW we have taken her off ALL acne ”meds” and she uses de-colorized iodine along with Vitamin E and Coconut Oil ... she also uses peroxide for her ”astringent” ... and will use coffee grounds (mixed in CO) for an exfolient. And, now that summer is here, the sun helps her skin with its healing properties, too. Maybe others will shime in with their thoughts. I’m always open to new suggestions.   [End]
