Biochem and P-chem are usually the make or break courses for most pre-Med students. Foods are drugs, albeit in very dilute forms. It's really that simple or that complex. Element based medical systems put a friendly user interface on this complexity so anyone can use it. But it's not a be-all and end-all. Much of the laws of karma are stored in our underlying DNA. Some things are actually much more difficult to handle with herbs and supplementation than with common pharmaceuticals. And most holistic-type practitioners do not possess the wisdom to distinguish the differences. > >> Jobs clearly signed his own death certificate with the strange idea that he >> could force a rare form of pancreatic CA into remission through diet. >> Occasionally you'll see someone who gets lucky with such an approach, but >> almost invariably these types just suddenly disappear.

The type of pancreatic cancer he had was a relatively rare one which was survivable - if you didn't do the weird diet miracle-cure BS. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
