Hi Judie;

I really appreciate you explaining how it is dosed.

Dr. P gave me the distinct impression that it would

need to be taken indefinately. She also specifically

said that it would kill the 'good' bacteria. That is

one facet that was the deciding factor on whether

to try it or not.

I'm going to see her again in about 3 weeks. I'm

going to present to her what you've shared with

me and see what she says. I got the impression

that she was willing to prescribe for a short time.

Thanks for the info. You've given me encouragement.
