My mom usually had 10-15 bottles of all sorts of lotions on her side table.

The cracking as so bad, and the skin was soooo thick...

That's the important part.

My mom was the same way..... WHen they did an angiogram, they said that she

could have made the covers of all the medical journals, in that they could

not find one reason that she should have been alive for at least the past 10

years.

They said she HAD NO pulse in her legs.... had a ruptured aorta that managed

to heal itself, had a severly balooned-out heart, the heart was pumping at

about 10% at best, no remaining arteries to her heart, but merely a few

spider veins....that she had had a few heart attacks (for which she never

received medical attention,) and through all this, she managed to care for

my dad AT HOME till his death from Azheimer's.

So maybe she wanted to put a stop to what the doctors were doing to her???

Tell me about it. Ithink I would be dead myself if it were up to the AMA

doctors.

YES, medical doctors are indoctrinated in fear, and so they hang on to every

shread of medical dogma they can, in order to stay in control as Gods who

have all the answers should. (And we (collectively) have partially put them

there, and I think it is due time to relieve them of their appointed

pedestals.

SO, I hope that folks sometimes understand if I get a little crass and/or

opinionated....and sometimes bring up other issues as well. (like mercury,

for one) I really don't care too much if I am always politically correct,

but there is a message I am trying to get accross - also, that we are

ultimately responsible for our own healing.

Yes, and Knowing that some mistakes will also be made along the way....but

remembering that an error is simply an invitaiton to correction.

Let's always strive to seek/keep an OPEN mind and OPEN heart.
