To All:

Yeah, I know... a bit off topic. But I wanted to say 'Thank you' to
those of you who have taken the time to offer tales of unorthodox
treatments and cures, often anonymously (hence the public post).

Some will think I've lost my marbles, digging in to tales of Seaweed
Cures or what-not. And you're right -- most of the tales are just
that. But... I can't help but recall that it wasn't too long ago that
we didn''t know the cause -- nor the cure -- for such things as
malaria, polio or a dozen other diseases. So I give your messages a
fair amount of my time. And wanted you to know that I appreciate the
thought behind the messages, even when sent anonymously.

PS -- Of the several 'cures' I've been able to verify, the truth is
the person was NOT suffering from cancer. Certainly 'cancer-like' but
not verified. (One appears to have been an advanced case of scurvy
[that is, a Vitamin C deficiency] .) -- rsh

missed you from our club med here and were wondering...
