Hi Misty,Thanks for the links.
I wish more information was known about SJW.
Personally I think it can be effective but has
been dogged by studies using it at sub-therapeutic doeses and bad quality control. Also, I don't think the pharmaceutical companies would want a well funded study to show that it worked (conspiracy theory).How are you feeling these days?
Please stay in touch.
bye bye,
