Sure is....

I think we all react differently to meds and herbs...so what works for me
might not work for you.

I've just added Chia seeds to my daily pile of stuff....it's suppossed to
work....who knows....the other advantage is that you body is covered with
what looks like green hair or grass.

I take cinnamon with my CO Q10

My doc and the researchers in studies I've been in tell me that for a
diabetic of my age, I am doing surprizingly well....

Who knows what will happen with the proposed health care...I know my doc is
wondering if he will stay in the professionHe could go boutique and not
accept medicare/medicaid, but if the law outlaw that, I think a lot of docs
will simply drop out.

I get fish oil from Puritan products....Don't the fish burps....before I
got that and my cat was alive...he would sit on my shoulder and breathe in
when I breathed out.
