Thanks, everyone. Garg, afraid you're not going to get rid of me that easily, but thanks for the advice on blood pathogens. This practitioner uses only disposable, sterilised needles. And, I am going with the full knowledge of my regular ol' M.D. whom I have no intention of forsakin'...poor thing wouldn't know what to do without my bright smile once in awhile. Have you had a hug, lately? If you'd get out to some Mudcat gatherings you'd get plenty of them.

I will never go to a chiro, again, but will go to an osteopath for adjustment. That is not why I am seeking this treatment, though.

Don, very cute....you're on a roll this week! So are you saying I should just go find some poor old porcupine and hug it?**BG**

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
