However after research, it seems there have been atleast 6 or 7 die, and many others with severe problems after. Is this really true - I read it here and it seems to be backed up. I know all had a suppressed immune system, but mine is not the greatest. I'm COPD which he said was fine, sick a lot, need to go back for more tests on my B12 as it was off. I want the best, but I don't want to end up a veg. I feel like I can take a risk on death but not on getting worse or getting something else. Thanks so much ~Sheena~
