Relaxing Fun discussion

Would you all please add a discussion topic on something that interests you?

I am extremely interested in The Black Death which is the current topic right now in World Without End by Ken Follett. Norah Lofts also writes some about it and Daphne DuMaurier writes about it in The House on the Strand. Survival of the Sickest has some interesting information about a gene that protects people from getting it. Many are immune to it per this fascinating book. Hans on my iron overload list recommended the book to me.
Any more books I can read about The Black Death? or plague?
thanks, Alice

Hi Alice, You are welcome to create a topic (and folder) for this if you like. Jess

Well,.... will wait to do that and see if anyone else has an interest.

okay, Alice...does anyone else have an interest? jess

How about the Hot Zone? anyone else interested in epidemilogy? (msp as usual) I am thinking about adding a question onto the NEVERending quiz about how many people had died from black plague by 1349 (World without End). A person on Norah Lofts group didn't know about the neverending quiz.....maybe we should post about it here?

Sounds good, Alice.

yeah

see, Alice, someone is interested. Discuss away. Jess

Hi Yui, which disease is most fascinating to you?
Alice

well, i'm not like a master, but the one with lead poising your brain and it can make your brain stop working...

Interesting...by the way, there is a hot zone thread now. Alice, you can add a description to it. I think it will be interesting. jess

Yui, lead poisoning is actually of great interest to me also. I have a book of detoxes that was written by my environmental illness Dr. and there are ways to get lead out of the body. I will try to look in the index later and see what the main one is. (The Whole Way to Natural Detoxification is the name of the book by Dr. Jacqueline Krohn) I got my second copy as an old library copy for only two dollars.
I have too much iron (ferritin) in my body and joined 4 groups on yahoo to learn about what to do. Its actually a common problem for many as we age!!! I was anemic all my life so find it hard to believe that I now have too much iron. My iron list advised me to read Survival of the Sickest by Dr. Sharon Moalen.

i heard that young people that are like 8 or something had too much iron, because my third grade told me that her friend's son had something like that.
