BTW, we have many members who have developed long-term disabilities
because their doctors have told them to ignore side effects of drugs
which have had, for them, immunotoxic effects.  I think your friend
should become aware of this, and include it in her decisions as to what
he or she will do.  Let me know if you need info, or medical references.
One immediate one is the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, Health
and Welfare canada, Dr. John Davies, (613) 957 0318.  He's about to

the medical profession.
