Dear Ellie,

Thank you for this empathy and support.  I admire your capacity to
respect both sides of our struggle and what we've gone through!  I hope
your symptoms subside and you don't "have" anything.  Appreciated the
info about Dr. Cahill.

I don't quite grasp what you are conveying by the phrase "without a means
to use it".

Or, maybe it's anti-spiritual to believe that something could save
mankind from suffering.  Maybe suffering, in addition to pleasure,
suffuses spirituality.

That's wonderful.

Right-o!

I don't know but will ask the butcher departments at our gourmet/health
food markets here and let you know.   One that occurs to me is shoulder.
Zephyr has eaten it and says he likes it, but it's very tough.

Best of luck and keep us posted as to your parasitic progress,
