TK--- regualr ala has both the R & S form in it

I searched the web and find pure

Does Andy want us to find a source of

TK--- buy regular ala

Why would some sites I visit state

TK--- because they have a product they need to sell

but then Andy says it's

TK--- see above - no research done on it and no enough people have

used it to know what it will really do. it is up to you to decide

if you want to experiment and use the R form. some people have tried

it but they do not post often enough to know if it is working or they

have had problems.

If you read Andy's works and what he posts you will find he is one

of those very few people that is [very,very] intelligent and

accurate. At some point you have to do your research and decide on

who you believe is correct as most of us do not have the educational

background to understand the chemistry and science behind what the

research says and what people profess or try and sell to make a

profit without regard to what it might do to others.
