Thank you very much. At the moment I just feel like an unemployed nurse :) At least your Doc told you to avoid it. I get hounded nearly every time I have any medical appointment, and I've been pretty open about my reluctance (refusal) to take it. I believe most medical professionals are seriously brainwashed, starting as students. Why don't most Docs advice taking vitamins and supplements? Same reason, and once their entrenched in the profession they must feel like they can't rock the boat.
