This is really cool!  Inexpensive and maybe a good way to deal with those
garden pests!  Can't wait to get it, but whether I'll be brave enough to try
them????

In 1991 or so I read an article in an Italian news magazine about a
sanitorium in France where cancer patients ate raw insect larvae and had a
tremendous recovery rate.  Unfortunately, I didn't save the article.  The
pictures and the information have stayed in my memory, and I've been
wondering if I could find it again now that I have a cancer patient to treat
(my boxer, Maya, with lymphoma.)  But I'm too busy to do a library search.
If anyone has information about this place, let me know.  Maybe someone has
saved Jean-Louis Tu's Paris address and I could e-mail him.

After you learn that B-12 supplements are made from raw sewage (according to
Dr. Richard Schulze, of the School of Natural Healing), you may be less
interested in consuming them!  I'm throwing mine out, yuck!
