\Hello Renne, Since I am still fairily new at researching through the net(I never spent time reading anything about health)-I still consider myself more than illiterate with providing the details.I try my best to read and I know there is a lot of garbage out there.

I just wanted to ask if anyone had heard or tried this. I apologize for my ignorance.

would this help?Should I just copy and past the links to read? Anyways,I just wanted to know if anyone had success with this or had even heard of it. Again-I have several different doctors and my primary doctor is big on supplements rather than medications,thus my constant need for researching on my own and sharing with others. I am in no way advocating the use of this. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Thanks once again for all your help.
