(That is to say it doesn't matter giving them to someone who turns out to be ill from some other cause.) But anything that requires scans or other detailed professional intervention isn't going to work simply because it isn't possible to set up an infrastructure that will react quickly enough to an emergency that is fairly common. If someone has to wait a week or more for professional diagnosis there will be too much repair work to be done. I notice that there are plenty of thyme supplement products for sale. It would be amazing (and therefore unlikely) if there are already pills in herbalist shops that would cure strokes and no one has noticed. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31954
