Hey, that's a pretty cool show of history. Interesting that it all began with what was available in the earth, then progressed to the labratory and then it finally winds up back to the earth again.

It is scary about the antibiotics not being able to kill the smart or mutated germs/cells/virus. My friend went to the hospital to have his foot repaired after having an accident on a mopad and he winded up catching a "hospital" germ and his foot became infected with something that took an extremely powerful drug to clear up.

I hate going to the big hospitals, there are so many infections floating around just waiting to jump on me.

Yeah, hospitals can be quite a mix of virii. I think there's actually a lot of things we can do to self-medicate, rather than run off to hospitals & doctors all the time.

Hehe... nice post. It's funny how things turn full circle like that.

Oh, I can't remember... maybe emailed to me by a friend. Might've been in a mag.

Yeah Aaron, I think there's quite a few things doing that these days...
