Great piece of information, are they expensive? I intend to pass this
information along to my doctor; as I know he will be very much open to this
as a tool. I believe when he sat by my bed for so many hour's that he was
meditating me well and yes even praying; as he is a believer. I just could
not talk to ask him anything at the time....Thanks for this piece of
information. Love ya, lillian
