    Feeling better does NOT prove the product works. Chelation worked no

    the placebo people felt better, even though they weren't.

    Well it certainly proves it to those who feel better and lack critical
    thinking skills. Proof is in the mind of the beholder. And when the
    mind is crazed all bets are off.

    Ignorance is bliss. Believing that they felt better is proof enough to
    them. And if the next day they drop dead due to failure of the
    chelation to work, at least they were happy til the end.

    Perhaps YOU can shoot for having your cremains weigh only 3 pounds,

    So it is always the "placebo effect" when one switches from
    sickness mode to wellness mode by eliminating sugar; by eliminating dairy
    (including cow's milk) products; and by eliminating soda pop from their
