Dear Karen,

It's good to hear from you. I'm inspired by your courage, perseverance, and grit. You might be sick, weak, and losing weight, but you're a hero to me.

Regarding allergies, I'm quite a bit less allergic than when the PN started. Back then, I reacted to my cats, dogs, dust, poison oak big time, and many pollens. Now, not much seems to set me off sneezing, itching, or with contact dermatitis. It could be all the immune balancing and anti-inflamatory supplements I'm taking and my very healthy diet. I know you can't tolerate most supplements and veggies, but I'm mentioning it for the rest of the group.

BTW, included are two pictures of our new dog, Rusty, and my wife. Rusty was 35 lbs. when we got him 2 mos. ago at 7 mos. old. He's now 50 lb. and has filled our home and lives with fun, love, and joy. He was shipped from a no-kill shelter in Mississippi to a shelter here in San Diego. Only in America would we ship a stray puppy 2,000 miles to find a home. I hope we grow to treat each other with as much love and compassion.

Take care.
