Re: Is this supplement legal?

[Guest guest]

may sound crazy- but can you put some SCD antifungals on it - after drinking oil

I will definitely watch out for any reactions, and I get my liver functions/CBC

tested every 2 weeks for the AIH issues.

I don't have interstitial cystitis so I don't think that will be a problem.
