Its more like taking quinine to > prevent malaria. You may be 100% right. I don't know and that's my problem. Once again, you are asking me to believe you. I'm not asking you to repeat over and over, "Yes it works." I want to know how you came to that conclusion and I want to see the data that brought you to that conclusion. In all of these posts, one person has cited sources, but I wasn't able to find them--the answer may be in there or it may still be ambivalent. Have fun!
