Judy,

I have a Sicilian temper...and it seems that I never get to my Lactnet mail
either .... something about time, small children, work, husband in midlife
crisis,... oh well.

I would like to say to everyone and anyone who will listen, that getting
diseases is a matter of suseptibility.  I am a student of homeopathy and the
homeopathic view is not so pre-occupied with "catching  things"  as it is
with learning what the underlying suseptibility is and finding a way to
improve the individual's response to the particular diseases he/she is
suseptible to.

Bechamps, who was a contemporary of Pasteur is very interesting reading in
regard to these matters.  I agree that we all must get a grip...we can not
live in bell jars.
