Good points on Flu and SARS. I need to get ahold of the authorities. My poor sweetheart has SARS. She has a dry cough, sneezes, is real hot...she also says she feels dogged all the time... Do you think she looks dogged?... pbase.com We haven't flown anywhere lately. But do want to take advantage of that add where you pay for yourself and a companion goes free. :) Seriously...The worry on SARS is the percentage of people who die from it...high... BTW: I just gotta brag... I'm a ham....I won a photo contest. My picture will be on a calendar. They are showing it on the home page of the chat group (they are having the contest)http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AAAAstronomy/ Read down toward the bottom... Current Group Picture: The Second Winner in our Calendar Contest! Congratulations to Ron Pyle for his beautiful picture of the planets on parade last spring. BirdDog

I would like to recommend this site: wildcondor.com I know this woman, as I did hyperbaric oxygen treatments with her. She's an amazing person, and her story is not exaggerated at all. People worry about SARS, when lyme is epidemic in certain areas of the country, and they just shrug it off. It is actually in areas of northern Florida as well, in areas of Wisconsin and Michigan, and also it is in the northwest, where the co-infection babesia is very common. But it is worst in Connecticut, some areas of New York State, and New Jersey. In fact there is twice as much "arthritis" in New Jersey as the rest of the country, and I suspect it is undiagnosed lyme. Or I should say, tickborne illness, as there are now four infections documented to be in ticks: borrelia (lyme, of which there are 300 strains, some more virulent than others), bartonella, erlichia (2 types) and babesia (maralial-type). Often the people who get really sick have many of these infections; sometimes they had unknown bites and their immune system kept it at bay for years with only relatively minor symptoms, and then they get bit by a tick with a virulent strain, or multiple strains, or other infections, and their systems become overwhelmed. Many people shrug it off, even if they know its around their neighborhoods, and they ignore clustered cases in their families and among their neighbors of "mysterious" MS, Parkinson's type syndromes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia. I now know more cases than people would believe where one family member realized they have lyme, and when other family members were tested, the entire family had it, accounting for vague and troubling, seemingly unrelated symptoms and conditions. A guy I know who went to Europe for a $20,000 cure, as antibiotics weren't working (and whose wife improved on antibiotics but relapsed off them) had two friends, one with lupus, and one with rheumatoid arthritis, and once he realized what lyme could do he badgered them to get tested for lyme. Both had lyme--misdiagnosed. Anyway, it seems to me I should spread the word a bit. Even when caught early, it is apparently now taking 8-12 weeks of antibiotics rather than 2-3, according to personal information from a specialist in Connecticut. It has been a real struggle for me as well, although not like Laura (wildcondor), who almost died several times. But the symptoms change and are scary and debilitating. In addition, if anybody feels like donating to this boy's cause: zwire.com. He is suffering badly from it and his friend wants to raise $ to help him get hyperbaric oxygen. It is very expensive. I did the hyperbaric oxygen treatments myself.
