I just saw a Nova show on the ice man, a 6000
year old frozen mummy found in the alps.

They tested his DNA and found 97 percent human,3 percent Lyme DNA.

Public television it was.

WOW!! Cool! I didn't think about that !!

If they can find the DNA on a mummy WHY can't they diagnose us?????????

I did get diagnosed,then they took away my doctors licence,that was 20 years ago,it is still the same today.

Someone doesen't want the expirenment on us to stop.
