    I have been thinking and thinking and thinking about something that I could do for the nation of Colombia one of these days........
    I really appreciated it when they stamped my Canadian passport for 525 days...........
    even though I just went across the border into Colombia for a few hours... and then returned to Ecuador.

    Their doing this made me feel very, very welcome.................

    I am thinking that they should use that leaf.... .that the natives chew on......
    at high altitudes.... as a possible treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.........

    They need to hire a bunch of doctors and do double blind studies on that leaf though........
    and they might not be able to patent a natural substance...........

    Basically.... they would be looking to increase medical tourism to Colombia......
    now was the name of that leaf.......
    Aloe Vera.....????? No..... I don't think that that was it?????

    Why would Dr. Ben Carson make such claims?

    I have read that some of the native tribes of Colombia and Peru
    are able to work effectively at well over ten thousand feet altitude
    because they chew on the leaf of a certain plant.

    I wonder what that same plant might do for people with chronic
    fatigue syndrome ......IF....... sulphuric acid and kerosene were NOT
    ADDED to it....... but instead it was just in its natural state as a medicine?????
