Their value lies in the financial benefits to the sellers. I have been approached several times by "Mannatech" (one of the principal purveyors of this stuff) to use such in my practice. Not for the benefit of my patients, but rather as a financial investment. Caveat emptor. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
