intresting, my mother was a clinically clean freak, i wonder if living in a clinical environment doesnt help lol, well if it is that my kids have better chance of being healthy all their days, they live like wild rats have to force them to wash lol.

No joking aside research into anything AI has to be great, good to know somethings been done, but i ll keep my inflammaroty bowel thanks

Heavens!

I'll eat the worms if it will make me feel better. 

It would be so wonderful if a cure was found!  It seems if they can figure out ONE autoimmune disease and cure it, the other's would fall right behind because they are all the same...only different.

Epson, do you want ketchup or hot sauce on yours?

Oh JJ! 

I'm sure you are right!  My husband, who has a real hairy back, would certainly go for the steak sauce as well!  I shouldda thought of that!

You tickle me honey!
