Forgot to add that I`m free and clear for over a year now,having suffered intensely with it since about the age of twelve(I`m 39 now) after spending a month on Antibiotics for tonsillitis.I still maintain a maintenance dose for the simple reason that I no longer get sick.Ever.Prior to beginning the program I would get everything going around and the flu at least once a year like clockwork,so I definitely see a connection.Take from this what you will.
