Well, I guess you have the perfect answer. My education says you could chunk a cat through the holes in Moreless' pseudo "science"; and my instinct says this is all wrong and I should avoid it. The funny thing is, I had really hoped he could prove himself to be right and that there was some merit in his teaching. At best one could only enjoy a placebo effect, but that rarely results in permanent healing. Yesterday I had actually picked up a package of pickling lime, but set it back down on "instinct". I did go ahead and buy some black strap, I guess I'll bake some molasses cookies.
