Chris, I too am a teacher. I did not work through my treatments. I wanted to try, but my physicians were adamant that I did not. I am now glad about that. I had almost every side-effect in the book. You being a second grade teacher, I would be concerned about all the germs that go around with those angels. Your immune system will nto be what it was before, and easy to catch every little thing.
