I just mean that it should be workable despite the risks, and not
something that must be abandoned.

I couldn't agree with you more. I find recovery from physical and
emotional (both physical IMO) very painful. I should add 'save mankind
from suffering once the healing is complete; (sometimes I think only in
the next life,:-) that needed a smiley.) and preserve the human race. I
complain to my higher power frequently about this.

I'm not the greatest with words. e-mail isn't always easy in
communicating I realize.  If I have an amoeba it's not deadly. I
walked around with one for a year and most people in Chinatown do also
I've heard. I'm fine, but if I continue eating RAF, I do take risks

Thanks, I'll ask my butcher also. After reading Dr. Klaper's letter, it
might be a good caution.
