Thanks for these interesting posts - I feel I have learned alot from
all the comments and advice given.
Kent, good luck getting the oils into your wife. For what it is
worth, I have found that family members respond better to a lighter
touch. I don't insist that anyone takes or tries the oils but when
they are complaining about an ailment and ask for advice I give it.
It has worked for me :)
Pat, great information!! I especially am excited about the tip of
putting capsules in the fridge to stop them from dissolving - great to
know!!
Thank you for posting this on our forum - I feel I learned alot.
Best,
Elizabeth
