  1. Consumer Health Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

  2. Prayer I got behind and forgot to tell people about what happened with him......the morning after the 'global prayer circle' (for lack of a better name for it) he improved dramatically! In fact the doctors decided against the surgery they were planning (and dreading as he has so much 'scar tissue' inside) and sent him home! He's doing amazingly well - went out and bought a Christmas tree and decorated it! Thanks for asking and Happy New Year to you! J
