OT: Greetings from Romania

Post by drj130 » Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:56 am

Just a quick hi to everyone from me. I'm currently in Romania and still using my machine like I should. Take care and I'll see you all when I get back to Germany.

They offer a unique form of acupuncture there that radically changes sleep patterns.

Hi David, I've always wanted to talk to someone who's been to Romania. That's where my Mom came from a long time ago way before WWII. She was born in a small town outside of Bucharest called Saven?(not sure of the spelling). I don't even know if it's still there since the Nazis killed most of the Jews there including many of my relatives. See you back in Germany. Dori

I wondered if you might be there. I sent you an offlist email today about our ongoing discussion. I guess your answer is "when I get back to Germany".

Thanks for letting us know!! Hope you get to see the wife sometime. Is she still out there somewhere?

Cheers,
Barbara

Yes it is similar to that which they use in Iraq and Afghanistan and many countries with power issues. It is considered extremely effective and only needs one treatment and none of the patients ever complain about their treatment either. It also radically reduces hospitals stays for all sorts of medical issues, however unprofessional practitioners are a big problem when they miss the exact points and create a bigger health mess.

Just don't let the insurance companies know about it.

It is not recommended for home use or self treatment

Funny, I was referring to the vampire legends of the Transylvania region of Romania. Sleep all day, up all night?

slaps forehead - of course!
I keep remembering the early 90's when that whole region was in an up roar.

Don't Vampires sleep by stopping breathing all together? Grandfather of all Apneas?

Oh do you think we were all bitten? Could we have prevented it by eating more garlic?
Shades of Twilight here!!!

No wonder vampire shows are so popular!

Thank you Rooster for taking me to this site. You led me to my dear mother's birthplace. Bless you. As soon as I catch my breath and dry my tears I will be searching there for any details I can find. Dori
