Default Not as dramatic, but...

md-
I have put a temporary "hold" on it as I am simply getting overloaded at the moment. A little over a week ago, my neuro got me started on Comtan and I am working on getting it integrated into my scheme, plus bringing two "old reliables" (alpha lipoic acid and acetyl l carnitine) back online, and now tinkering with aloe! As if that is not enough, we have an increased awareness of tornadoes in these parts and I am building a "priest hole" under my stairs for those "awkward moments."

But it is a temporary hold. There is decent research behind it and the initial results were dramatic, so I will return to it. And I hope that anyone else working with it will keep us posted, too.

That brings up a topic that I have been wondering about. It is all too common for new things to work well at first only to fizzle out after awhile. I am sure that that initial success has a bit of placebo in it, but after a half-dozen times one gets to wondering about "habituation" for lack of a better name. Some herbs (ginseng for example) have traditionally been used on an "x" weeks on and "y" weeks off basis to get around this. It might be worth trying that approach.

How's Oregon?
