G-P. LaVecchia, dentist, 32, wrote: "My story is a story of physical and
mental suffering which began in 1985, when I had the diagnosis duodenal ulcer,
after innumerous consultations….My condition worsened: claustrophobia, agoraphobia,
fear of eating and fear of water. All this did not improve my marriage or my carrier…Living

phone calls and so has the Heavy Metal Bulletin editorial office…."
