Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sure, we COULD recreate this product, but with ALL of the things our kids are already taking, sometimes simpler is easier. Just think of all the companies making multi vitamins for the autistic, to simplify. They make a FORTUNE (upwards of $80 a month) for those multi vitamins. I prefer the easy route occasionally, because with the strict diet and SO many supplements and amounts as recommended by Andy Cutler for chelation, this one pill makes life so much easier and we all know oxidative stress is a huge factor for our kids. If we didn't have companies doing this for us, we would be complaining that we don't have these options, like the multi vitamin venders, etc. I saw this as an option, we like options, don't we? I hope this thread can stay on target about the product, that was my intention in posting it. Amy offered an option to those who were asking where they could buy it, why wouldn't we WANT to help out a fellow biomed mom, if we are going to buy it anyway?! In fact, I wish I knew Amy was selling it before I bought mine from a random stranger online.
