reaction...

Dear Holly,

Flo Jo had welts on her body, called peretrechal spots after ingesting a
pizza, her last meal.  Almost every organ in her body was congested with
frothy fluid and mucous and her stomach contained 250 cc (about the size
of a brick) of undigested material containing flecks of a substance
appearing to be cheese twelve hours after her last meal.

One of my daughters has a similar reaction about four hours after eating
ice cream.  How many people would connect one such activity to another?
Our family has learned this truth.

Regards,

Robert Cohen
