discovered first-hand. It's GREAT information to have! Glad I spotted it - some great threads here I've missed, I'm sure!

I bet you'll help save a few lives by spreading this around. It's also important that WOMEN know. Most of the testing on human subjects for medical purposes - is done on MEN. So nobody can really be sure how women will be affected. Sometimes things turn out differently with women than they do with men (ya THINK????!?!?!?!?!??!).
