X-Message-Number: 18922 From: Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2002 23:22:17 EDT Subject: Several Thoughts... George: Your thoughts are always thought provoking. I am pleased that some of yours during the Jeff Grimes episode several months ago are well preserved. Excellent reading, folks. Archievesville. ________ Thanks, Brent: "Riffle and her colleagues are developing magnetic, biodegradable microspheres that can be attached to specific drugs, such as chemotherapy agents. With the aid of a magnet placed outside the body, the medicated fluid microspheres could be directed to hard-to-reach tumor sites, such as the lung, prostrate and brain. Riffle believes that a similar technique can eventually be used to deliver DNA to specific cells for gene therapy." & "Magnetic fluids have been used in industry for the past 40 years, most notably as a sound damper for stereo loudspeakers and as seals in motors." Your other article was good too. I will reread both before long. I think you are on the right track for recognizing such areas of physics as opposed to just biology and chemistry and cold temperatures. ___________ I am going to reread Mike Darwin's post(s) and those that inspired him into action (responding on the CryoNet) before having more to say. I am looking forward to the opportunity to do just that. He cited Dr. Steve Harris, M.D., and his recent writing: "The Krell" I believe (am I leaving out a letter?) I read that. (Took a couple of sitting to do so.) Yep, it was worth the time. I have some ideas to be considered. Among other things, specifically, they are about the medical community in the States, and even more specifically regarding Lyme Disease as a model of poor performance by Yale and others (of the establishment). Actually I sent one of the longest posts that CryoNet has ever tried to received several nights ago, but AOL was on strike or something. I may try it again on Sunday night when things are kinda slow here (on CryoNet). Some might like it, some may not. OK, later on everyone... Regards, D.C.
