  1. I reluctantly post the following. This is a bit off the subject so I
    will keep it brief. Any response, questions or comments may reach me
    at [email hidden].
    I am a 38 year old male living in Texas, and have three small
    children for which I alone am responsible. I was a practicing
    attorney for the last 11 or 12 years, but have been unable to practice
    for the last year as I have battled Lymes disease since 1993. Anyone
    familiar with the desease understand that it is a chronic illness
    which is quite dibilitating. Still up until last year I was able to
    maintain a practice, but was eventually hospitalized and put on a
    resperator for several weeks as a result of a weekend immune syatem.
    Since, I have gotten back home and am able to take care of the
    children, but have exhausted my savings. I am loath to seek any sort
    of welfare, as my mind is still quite agile, and I am convenced given
    time I can be productive. I have several interesting ideas I would
    eventually like to patten, and have in the past written some very well
    recieved newsletters regarding the toxic culture, that I as an
    attorney, have seen our children confronted with.
    What I need more than anything is time, and as painful as it is I
    am asking for any assistance that you good folks can spare. Security
    seems such a dream at this point, but I must maintain my fath. Note,
    I do not ask nor want anyone to help in any way that would take from
    themself or their family resources that they require. This truly is a
    last ditch attempt, as my parents are both deceased, and it is only in
    goodfaith that I write this post. I welcome any comments or
    suggestions or recomendations. My name is Stephen G. Smith, 4900 East
    University, #1122, Odessa, Texas 79762.

    -------------------

    Yet you're seeking donations from people on newsgroups?

    Your story doesn't ring true. If you are an attorney, & you've spent a
    career dealing in words, then surely you'd be a better speller.

    If you are alone in the world, very ill, & have three small children to
    care for, ... then you'll have to seek welfare, esp. to try to get help
    in $$$ for their basic medical care, & for food.

    Surely an attorney would know, that begging for cash on newsgroups,
    isn't the answer.

  3. Stephen,

    If your story is true, which is impossible to
    determine in such a media as this, you have my complete
    understanding as one who has been in a similar
    situation. I had to raise four children who were
    between the ages of 5 and 12 after my wife left, and,
    though I did not have the health problems you exhibit,
    I was completely unequipped for this task. Social
    services with their "help" made things go from very
    difficult to almost impossible. Frankly I have no idea
    how we got through it all, but we did.

    Now, working again after nearly a year of
    unemployment, I am barely able to sustain my own life,
    much less to help my children with theirs, but I am
    content. My sole purpose in writing this it to tell you
    that, however impossible it seems, you can get through
    it, and you will even see the benefit in the
    experience.

  4. You might want to look into Orthomed mega dose vitamin C IV for reversing
    Lymes disease.
