<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello listmembers. Actually, I'm not that interested in parasites - never been anywhere exotic enough, I guess (although that IS the first question any new m.d. I meet asks me...) But something Chris wrote really struck me. Chris said "Medicine doesn't pretend to have all the answers." Unfortunaltely, I've run into some who practice medicine - both Western and alternative - who do, in fact, pretend this. Unfortunate and discouraging. More importantly, neither do we, as individuals have all the answers. I often feel like a thief, trying to make all the tumblers click to open the lock. Every so often I think I hear a click. It's hard not to feel somewhat arrogant when I think I've stumbled upon something others have missed. But sometimes, it's not a 'click' at all - it just sounds like it, if you know what I mean. My point? This is a learning process. As celiacs, you and I have been put into the advanced class, studying an extraordinarily complex subject under difficult circumstances. Lucky us :-} Best of health and happiness to everyone. And sorry for the sermon... Anne in Cambridge
