audrey again. you guys are going to tar and feather me any day now. I
hate to say this again to the list, but the evidence of anything that is
sold as * quick fix or a cure all* money maker is at best unscientific to
the consumer but not to the seller. they can give anyone who looks * hard
enough* all kinds of facts as to sales etc. that is how they can justify
their existance; that and the mental persuasion that is shared by those who
are sucked into buying it in the first place. I hate to think that anyone
can believe that *cells speak to one another* as a reason to take this? how
ignorant does this company sales people think any of us are? It is amazing
that the snakes havent returned for the oil they left behind them..
