------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Dr/Fr. Ivo, President Floriano and St. Fred: Some of my family members are strong believers in the power of holy water. Since the three of you have provided irrefutable proof on the power of virgin coconut oil, my obvious question is what do you think about the combination of the two? One would think that the multiplying/interaction effect could contribute to a tremendous revolution in personal wellbeing! When one mixes things, we must of course understand the interaction parameter between the constituents. For example, would mixing the oil with the holy water make the water less holy? My gut feeling tells me no, after all, the oil being "virgin", should have a high level of holiness associated with it. On the other hand, if one were to mix non virgin oil ... things could get pretty screwed up, no pun intended. There would of course be some technical challenges. We all know that one can't simply just mix oil and water. Duh! One would need some sort of emulsifying agent to bind the holy water to the oil. Detergents are a good emulsifying agent. I postulate that detergents are quite holy - after all it is said that cleanliness is next to godliness. With the technical analysis complete, the next step would be to conduct clinical trials on unholy ailments such as AIDS and Erectile Dysfunction (ED). For this we should be able to count of Floriano's large voter bank that will theoretically going to vote for him during the next erection. Good publicity is key as well. For that, we can rely on the power of Goanet and its patron saint Fred to reach all the non-migrant infested corners of Goa (due to limited quantities, this Goan medical revolution will be reserved for Goans only). All true Goans having symptoms of blue blood, your miracle cure awaits you! Amen. Marlon ----- Original Message ---- From: Ivo da C.Souza <icso...@bsnl.in> ***People die at any age. In our families there have been people who lived for long years (80 or more). But even today there are people who die young. Statistics will not give us accurately the data. True, medicine has advanced today by leaps and bounds. Yet there are limitations and other risk factors. People die young. Old people who have preserved themselves well can live for long (90 and more), not because of modern medicine, but because of self-care. Modern medicine helps, as well as homeopathy and other medical systems, and careful diet, prayer and peaceful environment. No one knows about the future. Regards. Fr.Ivo
