To date, we have 15-20 volunteers documenting their results. I estimate that's around 5-10% of participants/lurkers on this forum...not a bad percentage considering that many of us cannot afford to be off CS (since it is not certain that test participants will receive CS, or a placebo) because of ongoing chronic difficulties. However, if this is not the case for you or others you know, please consider participating. You will receive 2 liters of CS absolutely free, and that includes shipping. Roger
