- Dave =========== I love homegrown tomatoes (not the overly green ones they sent to supermarkets), and tomato sauces of all kinds in all kinds of food. Yum, yum. But I no longer eat nightshades because of the arthritis in my knees. This is a disputed theory, of course, but I've been doing it for 1 1/2-2 years and my pain has been reduced by 90-99%. I am not that suggestible (I am a very hard sell), and if one is in pain one can really tell if they are or not. I.E. -- It's hard to imagine no pain. :-) In other words, it works for me and it works for many others. And my attitude is what works works. It's a shame really, because I love tomatoes. OTOH, I hate pain more. http://noarthritis.com/ I slip every now and then and eat a pizza or something, then invariably I hurt the next day. But usually I stay on track. Marnie aka Doe
