    Actually yes. It works sometimes but not all the time. Also I am worried about the side effects of that, such as high blood pressure and kidney functions. They say you have to watch taking too much.

    I agree with Dane, plus when I tried it I broke into hives. I also did not get any refief from it.

      To start with it helped. When I got kidney problems and gout as a result of the pp1s the doctor gave me it cleard it up, it also cleared up my awful backpain which was as a result of the pp1s too.

      But then after a while if I took it - even though it was only a tiny amount - not the half a teaspoon most take - and not three times a day - I would get very wheezy and have a struggle to breath, any exertion or layng down meant constant coughing. Would wake up with it, then it was reasonable during the day so long as I didnt do anything physical. But even just going for a walk would set it off.
