Dear Bernie, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

You brought up some interesting points regarding Balch and Balch. Ive offered
some information regarding your comments in a separate response, for whoever
might be interested.
Nevertheless, all of it is really beside the point. The bottom line is, Balch
and Balch put together a book on Nutritional Therapies which was a composite of
their research, not an account of their personal expertise. Their information
regarding marijuana was a small paragraph of information which was only part of
their suggestions that could be helpful to someone concerned about a weakened
immune system. Such information can easily be found by anyone searching the
internet for information. (The only thing that they were trying to sell was
the book - which many appreciate for the wealth of information it holds.)
At the same time, you can ALSO find that, as well as the opposite information
regarding marijuana, by searching the web. It just depends on what youre
trying to find. I have read MANY excellent articles concerning both pro and
con, from other sources, as well as the internet.
As Ive said before, my comment was simply to offer information that people
might want to consider before making their own judgment - I dont think I said
that I expected everyone to accept my personal conclusions - or those of the
book.
Sally
