Fw: Cautious Comment- American Metabolic Institute and Dr. Rubio

[Guest guest]

The unusually high success rate on this post I made has been questioned by a

highly regarded chemist who is vety knowledgeable about and consults on

alternative cancer therapies. I am therefore passing along his comments and

warning.
