Goodness gracious, I used it for the primary time yesterday morning and felt like I might breathe once more for the primary time this summer time. Possibly it’s a placebo, however most probably, I felt my physique getting what it wanted, and I didn’t have purple lips afterward, so I’m calling it a win.

I’m getting my sister to jot down a extra detailed put up about all of it, however about ten months in the past, she was informed she wanted to get a hip substitute (by just a few medical doctors), and there could be no method she would ever run once more. We ran 4 miles collectively yesterday pain-free, and he or she by no means had the hip substitute. It’s unbelievable. She modified mainly all the pieces in her life to get so far.
