Yes, Ma'am, I am: hopeful, open-minded, skeptical of products that are marketed like 'snake oil', as cure-all miracle drugs, and I do research and look for the real story. That's why I like being part of Mayo Clinic. I subscribed to Mayo's 'health bulletin' back when it was printed and mailed to our homes (the Berkeley Wellness Letter as well). I ask my doctors before I take anything. And I ask here because no one has more experience with neuropathy than we do. We're all stronger for sharing what we find. Peggy
