You're very welcome! We all need enouragement!

I thought for sure I had a couple of thousand, but I believe I had about 1,000, and got them pretty much all flushed out.

Personally, in my HUMBLE opinion (chuckle), I believe it's possible you could benefit greatly from the footpads, that is...if you suspect you have some heavy metal toxicity. I knew from the fact that I had a couple of mercury silver Amalgams that I had to have had SOME toxicity. I had always thought I noticed a steep downhill decline in my health after getting them as a child. I just figured out from reading a forum that mercury is converted into methyl mercury and causes severe candida overgrowth. Explains why so many people can't seem to get a handle on their candida, even with supplementation and strict diet. In any event, I figured that I needed to get all that crud out of my system, and the footpads really do help. I don't know about your body per se, but I do know that Raymond, who had severe migraines, gained instant relief when he put them on his feet. I thought that was so cool when I heard that as he had been suffering for a week straight with a migraine that did him in pretty good. He was in agony. He had used the footpads for thirty days and then only for maintenance. He put them on for his weekly maintenance and instantly got relief. He had been taking medication for a week and that caused rebound migraines pretty bad. Anyway, he is totally sold on the footpads. There are lots of testimonies on the board. I don't know that they stir up toxins; Dr. Vinograd seems to really know what he's talking about as it pertains to them. He mentioned to Raymond that they stimulate alpha wave brain activity, and this could explain the ceasing of the migraine. So they do seem to have a very positive effect on people. Maybe that's why people wake up after using them and feel so good.

Anyway.....rambling here....I'm so glad I feel good, too. I had an awful time just last September, and today....I feel really, really, good. I digest my food so well, and don't have to take naps during the day anymore.
