Re: Dr Berkson/Just dying to find out more Suzie :)

January 7, 2009

As you know Suzie once I am off these poison meds I have got to do

something to heal the damage. I am so hoping its Dr. Berkson. I

recently added 1000mg of Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic Acid to my pill

I guess I need Vitamin E now as well shoot so expensive $$$$$$.

You'll have to tell what this trip costs with treatment so I can

prepare my husband for the shock
