No, no worries.

Every time a supp is tried, it should be seen as an experiment to determine how *you* respond to the substance. I've seen far too many paradoxical responses (the opposite of what is expected) to say that there is a blanket answer, a simple rule to follow. That's where I have problems with Pfeiffer, Walsh, et al.

I really need to separate these things in my experimentation, I know, but have just been desperate to get functional. So far, despite the confusion, it's been working. I've been taking a tax preparer's class since Sept 7 and have made it through and with a good grade too. That is a real accomplishment for me.Way to go!

Methinks there is no such thing as coincidence. You be given a chance to take things in stride, eh?

Good idea.

> JLI can't for the life of me imagine a reason why. Do you eat meat and veggies together? Vitamin C and B-12 together, ya know?
B-12 is stored, anyway. They're going to be together if you *ever* ingest vitamin C.
Just my opinionated reply.
