Dear Anonymous lol :o),
You didn't post your email addy. I'm posting, below, Dr. Reich's email
addy which I got off of his adlap website. If you would like, you could
email him and tell him your situation and see what he thinks -- he is a
very nice person/dr., so you needn't feel at all uncomfortable about
emailing him.
