Thanks for the advice. I didn't know anyone here was taking Samento. I'm also getting sweats from it & feel generally horrible.
I can't vouch for what information is provided in the link. I am in the midst of researching it now, and you can read it yourself to determine whether you believe the information is valid: http://www.samento.com.ec/sciencelib/medmain.html
Yes, there are people who will state anything to advance their own agenda, sell you something (been through enough of that) or generally put out false information.
It is up to each individual to sort out the truth - and sometimes it's difficult to determine what is reputable or not. Townsend wrote an article on it as well (I thought that source was generally considered reputable- but I don't know).
Wisdom is required to search for the truth. I don't believe everything I read - nor do I outright dismiss claims. It just keeps popping up in my research online.
There is an epidemic of Lyme in our area, so I am concerned for those I care about (as well as the torment I've went through being sick for years). If it is something that is a nightmare experiment on people and animals - then people should get mad.
I'm not going to dissect in anymore - I'm going to spend my limited energy on getting better.
FWIW, The book Lab 257:The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory, available on Amazon for $3.77 plus shipping, is well written, by a credible author who interviewed scientists and others who worked on Plum Island.
Plum Island is 10 miles from Lyme, Connecticut as the crow flies (or the hurricane blows). The author, attorney Michael Carroll, repeats information that is available to the public, including a lot of incidents/accidents whereby the bioweaponry lab (acknowledged to exist) could have accidently released several pathogens. Accidents/incidents include a lab swamped by a hurricane, and the fact many of the animals they tested these bioweapons on were in open pens where insects could have dined on the blood and other parts of those exposed animals, and then flown or were blown to the mainland, a few miles off of the Hamptons of NY.
Another book by someone who participted in bioweaponry research: Biohazard: The Chilling True Story of the Largest Covert Biological Weapons Program in the World - as Told from Inside by the Man Who Ran It - by Ken Alibek (Russian scientist recruited by the US) $3.53 + shipping, used, on Amazon.
I've read them both and several others in the same vein. I'm quite clear that the US Military DID bioweaponry research and they've been careless about it. (And recent news stories about security/safety lapses at CDC illustrate that the US government is still having these "accidents.")(And I don't its status now but at one time, the Feds wanted to sell Plum Island. Too easy for terrorists to attack. They proposed moving the research being done there to a location away from any coast.)
Of course, none of this PROVES it, at least not all of it.
