DR LEDERER, I just heard you on ksfo in San Francisco. You mentioned your 5 year problem with your voice. My son has had the very same voice problems. He has had one surgery on one side of his vocal cords but the out side has yet to be done. Wehave never had a name that we could call this problem. I wrote the name that I heard you say. Was it LUCA PLACIA? My son Bryan is 48 years old and has become very discouraged; he also has trouble breathing. I would very much appreciate learning more about your journey with this disease. No one has ever heard of it nor knows what to do. As a Mother, I have been extremely worried about him and have prayed for his good health again. If you can help me with any advice I would appreciate it

Thank you,

Judy Walk

I like that book very much. Many English speaking people don’t realise that learning English is an extremely hard task for people who were born in countries where English is not spoken.

Obviously English is a language much too crazy to be an international language, an international language should be easy to pronounce, easy to spell, no exceptions in the grammar, etc. Such a language does exist, it is called Esperanto. Thanks to the Internet more and more people are taking it up, but the media still doesn’t mention it often at all. I suppose the media is kept busy by the bad things happening in the world and can’t report about the good things happening that would promote a better understanding of different cultures, etc.
