Re: new subscriber: bio

You are a very fascinating person! I enjoyed reading your bio

(Gotta say I love the Milagro Beanfield War) from your website.

New Mexico is a beautiful place. Based on your picture and your

life style, I say it would make a good fit. My sister currently

lives in Albuquerque. She lives the Buddhist/no TV/no

computer/yoga/natural health/natural fabric/organic lifestyle and

fits in quite well. I've spent time in Taos, which is a great place

for solitude and occasional conversation. The locals are nice

enough but prefer the tourists to stay away, I believe! Lots of

motorcycle traffic and great people-watching.

Bellingham, WA is another place your could consider. If you need

the heat, look elsewhere. We are on the coastline about 1/2 hour

south of the Canadian Border. Very temperate. Bellingham has been

named one of the 10 best places to 'reinvent yourself'. Not that

you need reinventing, but it is an easy place to settle. We are

close to Vancouver and Seattle (but not too close). A large hemp

material producer, the last I heard. There is a 4 year Naturopathic

University in Seattle, so the alternative medicine is bountiful.

Great co-op, too.

So, welcome!

Hi Kathleen,

I saw your post and just want to mention that the club soda is in an

aluminum can . Direct Lab Services can order a hair test for you from Doctor

Data Labs to determine aluminum toxicity levels.In any event ,you will

probably benefit from detox and chelation and might want to take a peek at

the autism treatment@groups and peruse the files. There's lots of there

there. Also I sent a mail to their list this week titled " organizations "

that has 72 pages worth of great info .It's a long read but filled with

web-sites of interest to all of us. You give me hope knowing that you are

self-supporting.I bet you could write a great book your life.

enzymes, and many other biomedical issues.

Hello everyone,

First, I appreciate the warm welcome, thank you.

Second, I won't be participating much until I've learned to ask the right

questions. Once I've had time to learn, I look forward to posing questions and

answering others as is appropriate.

best regards,

Kathleen Fasanella
