Thanks. Yes I understand it’s not guaranteed but there’s enough evidence that it out performs anything else out there. I use to take it prophylactically but got out of the habit. The paste took a skin cancer off. I had it on my face, left temple, but was determined I wasn’t going for “their treatment”. I was looking at it after my shower and hubby’s horse paste was lying next to his sink and I figured wth, so tried it and I swear, that thing was gone the next morning. I also used it on a case of shingles I caught from riding in a car with a freshly vaxed realtor friend. Took the pain down several notches and was gone within three days. There’s more to it than we’ve been told
