ALL, I think this group could significantly help in developing a real longterm cure, but sadly it is rather pre-occupied with moving 'news' around and 'bouncing' individuals if they step out of line. Most people would give a warning and bounce on a repeat offence. But this group is controlled and influenced by a handful of self opinionated individuals.

Marco, you assume that she is honest and would not take advantage of a group of chronically ill people desperate for a cure. That is a big assumption. Has this person posted before?

But the ListServe doesn't allow people who are salespeople for palliatives, poultices, or cures to make sales pitches for their products because unfortunately we are something akin to fish in a barrel here. > > Respectfully, > > Greg > > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > SBC Yahoo!
