This is just the kind of attack you have said is not permitted. Please. Please don't allow these kindof venemous posts to get through. They are so very detrimental to the activity of the productive quality of this group.Glenn> >> > > > http://www.safeox.com/chlorine-dioxide-clo2> > <http://www.safeox.com/chlorine-dioxide-clo2>> > > > > > Highly effective disinfectant> > Microbial infection is responsible for thousands of deaths and many more> > illnesses across the world each year.
