Thanks. I actually am on some aminos right now, but have only been on them for 4 weeks and haven't seen any difference - maybe I haven't given them enough time. My HCL is back to normal - I can tell that I absorb supplements almost immediately now. That definitely is a good thing. My neuros are out of whack but I am not sure if it is related to other problems or if it is the main problem itself. In terms of Pete, I do remember you saying you saw him back in the old days. I am jealous - that was the time to see him. The first time I saw him was in 1982 and he was sober then - unfortunately that took away some of his fire. He got cured from heroin addiction from the black box, and was completely sober for over ten years. I think he now has an occasional drink but he has never had any substance abuse problems since going on the box.
