Dianne: I'm the forum manager of the Chronic Disease & Disorders Forum on The Microsoft Network. Within the past month, we have been absolutely BOMBARDED with people posting messages VERY similar to yours in wording and product-listing. THEY ARE -SELLING- THE MEXICAN YAM PRODUCT! This commercial product has been touted to '"restore" or '"renew" persons having fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, MS,Parkinson's and a veritable HOST of other illnesses! Those who SELL this commercial product ALSO try to bring others into their salesforce for which THEY are paid a commission or bonus. I'm not saying that YOU are selling this product, Dianne, however I feel that the members of this list SHOULD be advised of it being a typical pyramid sales entity, and that it's being used all over the Internet NOW!!

Definitely has noticed a big difference! If anyone is interested in info about this, rather than bore everyone here & now, just e-mail me direct & I'll get back with you. Hope this helps!
