Without getting into details, I'm pleased to say that the fool... er, kind soul who bought my house in Southern California kinda bought this one, too. I guess there's something to that old adage, "buy low, sell high." I figure something had to go right in the last couple of years, but I'd give up the view in a heartbeat if I could turn back time. Wouldn't we all?

Helen, be sure and check out some of the warnings on the Salagen, such as asthma history, liver issues, etc. Another alternative that has worked for some is Evoxac. Ed
