| Josh, while suffering with epilepsy you did a lot of | | | | Herb: |

| Ok, Herb. It is good to stay away from non-stick | | | | about epilepsy and while I was trying to find a cure |
| coatings and also a great idea to stay away from | | | | for it. You must also be warned to not take to many |
| copper and aluminum pots and pans. Instead use | | | | mineral pills or colloidal mineral supplements UNLESS |

| food. | | | | few that are helpful though. Like pure silver for |
