Gee, I must have been asleep. I missed that about niacin/B3 entirely!

When I was reading the article I last linked, an odd thing happened...I began to see what it DIDN'T say...and how it was cleverly crafted to avoid saying the obvious.

For example, it is designed for the individual sufferer to read and believe that they are somehow flawed genetically, or functionally. It ignores the comment that this condition is common, as I read in another article.

There have been hints in various articles of excitotoxins and other causes, and the idea that this needs more attention than it has been getting.

My suspicious nature is aroused. Or, maybe I'm getting cynical. ;)

I also wonder mightily, White Tiger, about your training. It must be in science; or you are one sharp cookie with a nose for research. You wouldn't be a 'bush medicine' person, would you? I saw such a woman on Bahamian TV when we lived there. She was amazing.

It was around the time when an announcement came from Atlanta that they had discovered that babies with scoliosis (sp?) were born to mothers who were short of folic acid. "Folic acid," I hollered! They didn't eat GREENS?!!! I could hardly believe my ears.

Now, of course, I think that the lovely veggies we see in the supermarket are deceptively low in minerals that would be found in wild-grown plants...the result of forcing the land to produce crops before more minerals have been leached from the sands.

Once upon a time, farmers would let fields lie fallow, allowing the rains and weeds to draw nutrient minerals from rock, and essential microscopic life to rebuild the soil. Tiny organisms and bugs often prefer weeds. I haven't heard the word 'fallow' for a long, long time, have you?

Tell me, does pine needle tea require certain varieties of pine trees? There are lots of Jack pines on wild lands here, and a huge pine of some type on this rented property. If I have it wrong about this tree, could I poison myself off?

I am the third wife of a twice-widowed man. He'd be very annoyed to have to go through THAT again, as jolly as he is.

I'd give a lot to have an herbalist wander over this 1/3 acre that hasn't had attention in thirty years, until my man began running over it on a ride-on mower. It's curved, like a funnel, and wonderfully rich in growing nutrients. There are dozens of varieties of plants I can't name, and probably some that are worth eating. Deer graze on leafy weeds, and cherry tree leaves, here, and eat our bean plants, too. But only a nibble at our tomato plant. (Sauce?) They seem to leave the pea plants alone.

I'm rambling, at 4 a.m. once more. I've always been chatty.

My best,

fledgling

P.S. You go to the IMDB, too? And, Wikipedia, etc.? You watch Turner Classics?

A girl, guy, after my own heart!
