TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens, PK Man...who is my husband...just saved my life with his strange power...at least that is what I believe.&#13;
&#13;
About the middle of July I began to get sick at my stomach. Ted told me..he could "see" with his famous ESP ability...an infection, a very serious infection, in my lower stomach or side area. He begged me to let him take me to the doctor, but I thought it was just something I had eaten. Day by day he insisted...but I refused.&#13;
&#13;
On July 28 we began to move our furnishings out of our apartment on Bellentine in Norfolk, to move to our new home. Carrying things up and downstairs made me throw up. Again Ted said he could "see" that the infection in my lower stomach or side was much worse...but I wouldn't go to the doctor.  &#13;
On July 28 I couldn't walk...and the pain was terrible. Ted put me in the car and took me to the hospital. Three doctors worked for six hours to diagnose what was wrong with me. Finally they knew. My appendix had burst...four days previously, as it turned out. Peritonitis.&#13;
&#13;
Now, Ted had used his "secret system" on me...a secret system given him by the UFO intelligences. Also, I was wearing my red Si disc. When they operated on me they found that not only had my appendix burst four days previously...but I had an abcess the size of a men's fist inside me.&#13;
&#13;
I heard...that it was a miracle that I was alive.&#13;
&#13;
I sincerely believe that Ted, with his secret system, plus my Si disc...caused the miracle and saved my life.&#13;
&#13;
My recovery has also been fantastically rapid, according to the doctors and nurses.&#13;

P.S. I sweer that this is a true and accurate statement, so help me God.&#13;
