The feeling is mutual brother. It is so refreshing to have someone on the OCF board who thrived in an environment where categorical judgements were tossed around like so many blows and where you learn to give as good as you get. I have to be so careful with some of the fragile OCF posters who take personal umbrage at having their incorrect and goofy belief systems challenged.
We are in agreement that Steve B and Quackwatch do not cut it as a nutritionist. But I would be remiss in not pointing out that nutrition and homeopathy have nothing in common. One is valid, the other is not. Your oral vitamin regime makes sense, the Meyers cocktail does not. On these points, Steve B and Quackwatch are right on the money.
I almost fell off my chair laughing about your Wonder Woman comment even though her bracelets were not copper

[quote]Her bulletproof bracelets were formed from the remnants of Athena's legendary shield, the Aegis, to be awarded to her champion. The shield was made from the indestructible hide of the great she-goat, Amalthea, who suckled Zeus as an infant. These forearm guards have thus far proven indestructible and able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks, allowing Wonder Woman to deflect automatic weapon fire and energy blasts. Diana can also slam the bracelets together to create a wave of concussive force capable of making Superman's ears bleed. she gained the ability to channel Zeus's lightning through her bracelets as well. Zeus explained to her that this power had been contained within the bracelets since their creation, because they were once part of the Aegis, and that he had only recently unlocked it for her use[/quote].

I'm so glad you have found ways to address the terrible ravages of our TX. However, please don't go over to the dark side of Homeopathy or doctors of philosophy in Natural Medicine woo woo.
