I read this thread with great interest. just to refresh everyone, i started
reading here to educate myself because of my brother's health issues in
general and because i appear to be having signs that might lead me down the
similar path, also to assist my mom with family meals so I have two rather
basic questions i hope you all don't think are too stupid,

--what is dp and is there somewhere i can read a relaible article?

and second, i am not sure how to ask this exactly, but i didn't realise that
keeping kosher/eating rituals were so very perscribed, where can i read
about this in general, not nessarily related to health concerns, it is
fascinating to me,

thanks, Lee
