Hey Marlene!

Thanks for posting that. I saw that one, too, and it helpfully captures the "maybe-maybe not" "your mileage may vary" aspect of supplements.

Everyone is different, and, as well all know too well, everyone's MDS or AA or whatever odd bone marrow weirdness is also different. So what works for one person may or may not work for all.

Take care!

Greg
