Hi Stefan!

I will forward all this along to Zephyr for him to comment on. It's
certainly VERY interesting.
Today we went to the eye doctor for Zephyr to have a checkup. His vision
has deteriorated 30% in the past year. We're not certain how much of
that is (1) due to the trichinosis -- his eyes really bothered him a lot
during that period; (2) permanent. But he got a prescription for both
distance and close lenses, and will be rechecked in a couple of months.
The close lenses will help him do more computer and reading work, which
hurts his eyes a lot now. He has been working for several days on a
really long post about his illness, and has not yet read the new stuff
which I've passed on to him.

Pomelo?

Hm. Zephyr is almost always thirsty after meat/fish eating.

Again, better that he answers this than me.

Dunno, but it is indeed a lot. You're good with statistics!

Why would you think avocadoes would affect your cholesterol? They have
none.

In fact, just today we got back the values from testing done on 5/5/97:
Cholesterol 140
Triglycerides 106
HDL 42
LDL 77
All his liver enzymes are back well within normal ranges, thank God.
The following are high:
White blood cells 25 (4-11 is normal)
Platelets 565 (150-400 is normal)
Eosinophils 80 (0-5 is normal)

This is very beautiful and I admire your orientation.

Right, that's why I said our grandchildren could do it.

Sage advice, which I'll certainly follow.

Same to you,
