Submission + - ALS sufferer used legs to contribute last patch (gnome.org) 1

krkhan writes: "This is a little old but seeing as it didn't make it to /. at the time I think it deserves a headline now. Adrian Hands was suffering from ALS and had lost motor skills when he used his legs to type in Morse code and fix a 9 year old bug in Gnome. The patch was submitted three days before he passed away."

...Are more effective & not toxic (and less expensive) than the highly marketed, petrochemical brand names. Lavender & Tea Tree herbs can be grown & their tinctures of essential oils made into a diluted synergistic blend that, when applied topically, are antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. They should not be taken internally, but can be added to lotions, soaps and detergents as a natural preventative. The essential oils may also be purchased online or from a local coop. My personal favourite brand is http://www.auracacia.com/ but there are many other local, organic & wildcrafted brands that are also available at many farmer's markets.
