    Thanks
    for the clickable link. I knew one of you would know how to do it. I didn't bother to read the directions the last time one of us posted a non-clickable link!

    Oh, The Possibilities!
    laurettas,
    Thanks for the post. It's always great to hear of such promising research. I wait for the day and I know I will see it in my lifetime that people will one day say: Oh, I had that cancer, I took shot xy&z and it was gone in 7-10 days. They will also comment of the barbarics of surgery, chemo,radiation and that nasty tea that once upon a time, were some of the only thought remedies for cancer. God bless research and researchers.
    Good day,
    Karen

    P.S. Keep in mind that once upon a time, there was no such thing as penicillin. Keep hope alive!
