I do apologize for not having written. I have absolutely no excuse except for my eternal distractedness. Yesterday I had two jewelry shows. Having a jewelry show is distracting. Especially when you have no inventory. I've been making jewelry like crazy. And no, my 2 shows were marginally successful. I didn't sell a lot. Now I have to figure out how to market myself - always a problem. I have some ideas, which I will test out next week.  I realized, having reread my last two blogs, that I left you in the lurch, waiting for me to have a...

Two common dilemmas with fibromyalgia are fatigue and depression. I've been asking myself all week, as I've been both fatigued and depressed, which came first, and to tell you the truth, I don't know the answer. I was into my juice fasting, and starting to feel a little better from the "virus from hell".

My graduate, Bitum Upoke, just wrote to say that he has come out of the forest today, where he has been with the Pygmies for 2 weeks. They are in a bad way, with a huge diarrhea attack that has killed 5 children last week. He came home to find his infant daughter was very sick herself, with malaria. He rushed her to the hospital.  But the Pygmies have no hospital, no resources, no knowledge, no where to go, and they don't know what to do. I suspect that either their food or their water supply is comtaminated. Upoki's vision...

More on diet, I promised you yesterday. Actually, there have been multiple diets. The first was Dr. Frahm's, who advocated an 80% raw diet, and no red meat at all. He has cured multiple thousands of people of cancer on his diet.  I read his book on muscle testing, which tells you how to do it, and where to do it to check all of your major organs plus your electrolytes and other minerals. You can also test for latent virus and parasite infections. After a year or two doing this on myslef (I am unusual, most people can't test...
