(There are a lot of quacks around who will tap the bottom of your foot to see if you're allergic to something, and other wierd things.) I've been treated succesfully for the last 19 years of my life for my extensive allergies. I'm one of those people who 100 years ago would have been a basket case for the few SHORT years of my life; now I'm 99.9% normal with a normal life expectancy thanks to modern medical technology. :-) Sonya Hansen
