Re: multivitamin; early laser tx

[Guest guest]

I will be trying " Rainbow Light " Women's Nutritional System. I don't know

if it's a multi that you are looking for but it's got a lot of stuff in it!

They may have more general multi's... I picked it up at a local health food

store but they are also on the web at www.rainbowlight.com. There is also

one from England I believe that has been mentioned on the list. you may

find it in the archives.
