Re: Andy & others: any harm in Cell Food?

[Guest guest]

I know someone who claims to have had a ongoing dramatic improvement

by giving Cell Food to their autistic son. I would be interested in

recieving any information that you have regarding the use of Cell

Food as a supplement to autistic individuals. Do you know anyone who

has tried it? Before reading your post, I did not realize anyone

else was considering this.

I am not familiar with " cell food. "

Claims that some oral supplement " adds oxygen to cells " don't add up

to anything resembling sense in terms of any biochemistry I

understand.
