Re: Anyone interested: Lyme & Co-infections Support Group in

Roxanne,
Please let me know if this group gets going.
I've heard that deep breathing is good for Lyme sufferers, that it helps to get more oxygen in the body.
I'd be happy to come and share some deep breathing exercises from Kundalini Yoga.

I'm not completely enamoured of the idea. I can see the convenience factor. And I certainly am in favor of anything aiding organic and local farmers to sell more. But one hesitation - one thing about the farmer's market, eg the one in Highland Park which starts in a couple of weeks - is the human fa...
