Dear Friends,

This is one of the most important emails I have ever written to you.

Over the last six years I have traveled to war torn countries and meditated with reclusive Emissaries of Light. But nothing can quite compare to my recent experiences with the psychic children I met in Bulgaria, or the sudden revelation I received from one of them not more than ten minutes ago.

Spend a moment reading this email, and the amazing message from the Psychic Children. And feel free to pass this out to everyone on your own list.

Most bites are minor with no necrosis, but a small number produce severe dermonecrotic lesions or even systemic conditions (viscerocutaneous loxoscelism) with occasional fatalities. It is estimated that 80% of reported brown recluse bites may be misdiagnoses. The misdiagnosis of a wound as a bro ...
