I'm not overly concerned but I do have lots of Y2K stuff, batteries, toilet paper, tomato soup (smile), and now we have a wood burning stove (2 actually) and lots of trees surrounding our place, and a creek below the house so we're better than we would have been in the apartment.

I was watching a show yesterday with a woman named Laura somebody who wrote a book on nutrition (How to feel really good all the time, I think was the title) and they were discussing the smallpox problem. She said the best defense is a good immune system. I won't have a shot because I'm diabetic and I don't think it's good for anyone with an autoimmune system, so I'm working on getting my immune system built up. So, eat your fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, (unsalted and raw, of course) seeds and you won't get sick. Also, you need to get some kind of chelation therapy to get rid of all the aluminum and heavy metal toxicity in your system. She mentioned the overuse of aluminum foil and how it leaches into your food and causes toxicity (as well as mercury fillings, which I'm having replaced little by little). She said 70% of all cancer is caused by chemicals in the body. So, eat well, my children, and get chelated! Ah, elated about chelated.

Chelation Therapy:
Unproven Claims and Unsound Theories

Saul Green, Ph.D.

Chelation therapy, as discussed in this article, is a series of intravenous infusions containing disodium EDTA and various other substances. Proponents claim that EDTA chelation therapy is effective against atherosclerosis and many other serious health problems. Its use is widespread because patients have been led to believe that it is a valid alternative to established medical interventions such as coronary bypass surgery. However, there is no scientific evidence that this is so. It is also used to treat nonexistent "lead poisoning," "mercury poisoning," and other alleged toxic states that practitioners diagnose with tests on blood, urine, and/or hair.
