This email is not about GIS, the subject matter, however, seems to me to be
important enough for you to review and evaluate the material for
yourselves. Pointedly, the following is an alert concerning readily
available drugs, see the following list. Lastly, I encourage you to read
the sequence of emails and check on their merit for yourself.
