I owe Mike Cinneli a thank you for telling me of this list last fall on the FlaxOil list. It got me started right in making cs. I know that it is doing me a lot of good. I don't understand much more about the technical dialogue than my pet mutt but there would be no advances in the process of production without it. And besides that, the most highly qualified in the technical side have all at one time or another explained the most elementary problems so that a novice like me can understand. An occasional mention of other supplements or protocols can be of great value if they do not become a dominating factor. Brooks B. mentioned HCL/enzyme value. I'm now on it and have experienced a boost in my energy. There are any number of things that have complimentary values. I have nothing but praise for this group. And a thank you to every one of you that give your time and talent. When I consider what I have gotten from you, I'd have to say "the price is right". Bob Smith
