Hi Al:
I am sure that you will when you have all the facts in hand. Just
consider this in the meantime:
mites/100 capped cell count went from 54 % to 2.0%. Compare that to
recorded data for other methods of treatment for a comparable period of
time. I would appreciate your comments after you have obtained that
evaluation. I am sure that others will also.
Regards.
