Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Anise, Please check this study out. I think our Terry posted it before you joined, but it is about the most hopeful sounding thing I've heard so far! I was reading the other day that this disease loads us up with free radicals (bad) and apparently the antioxidant therapy makes a difference. Following that is the ingredients in Larotabe, the antioxidant blend. Maybe we can try this at home!
