Owen, thank you for your response and the great link to that article. Unfortunately, I did already get a few small shots on my scalp of a very diluted cortisone yesterday. The Dr also gave me cortisone drops to put on my scalp every morning and night. I shall discontinue that. I hope the first round of shots won't affect my cleanse too adversely. DO you think it will? He gave me very small amounts of cortisone.
