Over the past five years I have lived in latin areas and it has amazed me how

healthy such poor people are? Their food and water is contaminated. If we eat

their food, we will get ill. They work many hours and live in horrible

conditions (I am talking about 80% of the people), yet I seldom saw one with

runny noses and other symptoms.

They do eat only a little chicken, some pork, and fresh veggies. They eat

limes like children drink cola's!! Of course a lot of hot stuff. I grew up

though eating jalapeno's starting at age 4-5 and I got ill. I once went to a

doctor in San de de and there are over 10,000 Americans and

Canadians living there. She told me that she has many gringo patients with

CFS/FM but not a single meican with it.

When I lived in Lima, Peru, I noticed something. Lima has a population of

8,000,000 so very many different areas of town. I first lived in an area with no

american fast food places. Just chicken, black beans and fresh veggies. I lived

in eight different areas while I was there as I liked to see different areas and

there were many cheap places like B & B's to stay at. The first seven areas had no

fast food places and it was obvious that none of the people were overweight. The

last place I stayed was an area close to where the american navy harbored and

there were casinos and many american fast food places. I do not know how long

the fast food places had been there but I noticed that most of the peruvian

people below about 40 years of age, were overweight. I did not notice if they

had sinus problems..lol

I am pretty sure that both my grandma and mother had CFS. I remember my mother

having CFS symptoms when I was 5-6 years old and that would have been 1952 and

pre fast foods. Both of my grandma's children had CFS symptoms and I do and

three of my five children do. However after my mother's father died, my grandma

remarried and had a son who is only two years older than I am, and he does not

have CFS? Neither of my two wives have CFS yet they seemed to have passed

something from me to the children without them getting it??

Have you ever wished you could sit down with brillant doctors in several

different area of expertise and tell them your stories as if they put together

the different pieces of the puzzle, the puzzle would all come together? Our

symptoms are in so many different areas that ONE doctor could not know that much

about CFS except a small area.

know what

they are doing, and have had many centuries to hone their technique.

It is interesting to me that when I tried to grow corn in my backyard, it grew

all this smut. I

didn't know what that was. I just threw it all out. And that was BEFORE the

> Dec. 4--Corn, a basic, trusted food ingredient for humans and animals, has a

chance

of carrying a potent toxin if it was grown in southeast Iowa this year.

aflatoxin,

which can interfere with the immune system or cause liver damage or cancer.

which is

produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus and invades stress-weakened corn in

the field.

Brockway of

Wapello, a crop insurance agent for Farm Bureau. " Farmers with eight to 10 farms

will have

at least one farm with contaminated corn. "

> Of her 167 clients, 120 filed claims for losses caused by aflatoxin.

parts per

billion for corn sold for commercial purposes. Higher levels of contamination,

as much as

300 parts per billion, are permitted for some livestock feed, and that corn has

been sold

strictly as livestock feed for as little as 75 cents a bushel. The price of corn

has ranged

from $1.60 to $1.90 this fall. ..........
