Nicole:  Yes, please, let us know how the "power drink" works out.
Doctors are also now recommending the EPA Fish Oil (and Borage Seed oil)
for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, too.  I've been awful
skeptical about it, but I guess I'm going to have to break down and try
it again!  Maybe I didn't stay on it long enough last time.  I recently
read on one of the chronic fatigue web sites that it sometimes takes
three months of daily supplementation (1,000 mgs./day) to begin noticing
real benefit from the EPA and Borage Seed oils.

         Also, thanks so much for taking the effort to find out more on
that proposed virus/Hashimoto's connection.  Please let us know anything
you find out.  I'm very interested because, if it turns out to be a
virus
from the herpes family (lipid coated viruses), there are several natural
products now on the market with which doctors are having a lot of luck
in using to rob the virus of its lipid coating (which is its shield from
the immune system) so the immune system can find and destroy it.  At any
rate, regardless of what you find out, I am sure many on this list
server would like to know if there is a viral connection, and what
specifically that connection might be (for example, which type of virus
is involved).  Please keep us updated as to anything you find out.

Thanks again,
Steve B.
