Hey - it's like everything else.  "It" wants to survive and multiply.  It needs more to feed on as it multiplies.  It's like fleas on a dog - till they kill the dog, then they attack each other.  Sears and Weil are not just individuals - they n0w support corporations.  And corporations never die - they just keep growing or go bankrupt and take down the investors!

Subject: Dr. Sear's vitamins/fish oil tablets

I was in the grocery store the other day and noticed that there are fish oil capsules for kids in the vitamin isle, put out by Dr. Sears. On the photo is a photo of a small girl playing the violin. I had to laugh. this commercialism infers that taking these pills will help you play the violin.  well, maybe, but with two professional violinists, I'd say the pills plus 18 years professional individual instruction would just about do it.

I also so a teapot /kettle the other day with Dr. Andrew Weil's name on it. I don't know what he knows about boiling water that is safer or cleaner or more special than normal kettle manufacturers, but I had to just smile.  It's interesting when people start selling their name and putting it on things that loosely related to their work and expertise.
