Thanks for clarifying. I have learned much from studying other people and
their experiences, regarding health and various other issues. Life is about
learning. I have learned a lot, but I won't make a claim to having learned
everything and thus having all the answers. There's much to learn from
others' experiences, so, it helps to be observant, open-minded, and
discerning. Ultimately, each person must decide for themselves what they
feel is best for them to do, based on personal experience and finding what
works best for oneself.

Have a good one,

Wes
