This "treatment" costs $3,000 to $6,000. The studies which suggest impressive results for EEG Biofeedback are seriously flawed. Sample sizes were small and appropriate control groups were not used to determine if any results are due to maturation or an "expectancy" effect. Did you know that a large number of studies have examined the link between sugar and hyperactive behavior. A few of these studie .....

.... it originated. AID's originated somewhere in Africa about 25-30 years ago and was thought to have been brought here in the '70's. It first appeared in heterosexuals of both the sexes. It was probably spread so quickly through female prostitutes. AID's has already become a crisis of staggering proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that 20% of their people carry the virus. That is 2 out of every 10 people you see walking down the street. And that figure is increasing.

.... were in another predicament? It is surely easy to say what one would do in any situation, but one can never know exactly what they would do until that situation comes.

.... symptoms of this plague began from bloody noses as a fatal prognostic. Then certain tumors in the groin or under the armpits would form, some as big as a small apple, others as an egg. Afterwards purple spots in most parts of the body; in some cases large and but few in number, in others smaller and more numerous both sorts the usual messengers of death. The cure of this plague, neither medical knowledge nor the power of drugs was of any effect; whether because the disease was in its own nature mortal or that the physicians could form no just idea of the cause.
