[Marxism] Shooting Lupus Dead

["Hunter Gray" <hunterbadbear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

NOTE BY HUNTER BEAR: MARCH 1 2009

While, as recent history indicates, premature declarations of "victory" can 
prove fallacious, I can report -- as per my observations and, more to the 
point, those of my long-term and medically conservative physician who happens 
to be LDS, that's we've definitely turned a "good big corner" in our Lupus War. 
Here is my initial post, followed by Mack's query, and then by my response. I 
should add that I've just thrown off an upper bronchial problem -- now endemic 
here in southeastern Idaho during many days of atypical icy fog -- and have 
tossed it without any medicinal aid. [Still have troublesome sinus problems 
stemming from an old, serious facial injury.]

I am posting this on lists where significant numbers have been concerned about 
my med condition. Most are now aware that Systemic Lupus, relatively rare and 
considered "lethal", has a genetic base [in some cases, environmental factors 
play a secondary role] and a special preference for Native Americans, Blacks, 
Chicanos, and some Asian groups, and women in general. It's one of the most 
serious of the auto-immune diseases [where the body's immune system attacks 
various organs]. It has no cure and there have been no new Lupus medicines of 
substance for half a century -- although stem cell research offers grounds for 
some optimism.

In our Gray Hole, the ghosts often dance in the junipers and sage, on the
game trails, in the tributary canyons with the thick red maples, and on the
high windy ridges -- and they dance from within the very essence of our own
inner being. They do this especially when the bright night moon shines down
on the clean white snow that covers the valley and its surroundings.  Then
it is as bright as day -- but in an always soft and mysterious and
remembering way. [Hunter Bear]
