Hi Laura; Well, it may be "aging" which implicates diet, bordom, lack of optimum nutrition (we all probably have that), or toxins in air, food, water, etc.. Food we already know is being made toxic as in 26 states it's legal to put TOXIC WASTE into the fertilizer that goes on the FOOD CROPS, without the farmers even knowing, as it's not on the lable! A lot can be done with diet supplimentation, see Timmy's web site in my sig. file below:) Gary & the gang of fur Timmy's web site=<http://www.concentric.net/~Gferret/>; He's the ferret totally healed from "terminal lymphoma" without drugs or surgery. :) AOL instant messenger name= garyferret :)/ ICQ#4461104 [Posted in FML issue 2298]
