I will certainly ask when I see her next.  She was not very specific when she told us all
about it, and frankly, she may not know either.  She may simply be repeating as I am
repeating.  I have found that many "natural cure" advocates know how to treat a set of
symptoms, but not always the medical cause of the problems.  In other words, some cures
actually treat the symptoms and provide relief without ever addressing or shedding light on
the underlying cause, but if you are relieved, who cares?

I don't know.  That is really why I asked for information on this.  But, the lady did say
"of Northern European decent."  Whether she considers that to be Scandinavian, Norwegian,
etc. I have no earthly clue.
