i am constantly amazed at- what it is? that is so hard to
understand ,for you guys.
my use -or lack of- capitals, is hardly uncommon.
ok it's lazy, so??
if you read what i write, out loud.
well ,i write as i speak.
and i read as if someone was telling me a story.
hmm? am i so obscure??
just imagine we are chatting..isn,
back to the subject.
i did check that site.
i really don,t see that the product has any greater value than
yoghurt, or similar food cultures.
the fecal coliform bacteria sounded as if it could be a bit gross in
truth. maybe yakult type stuff in the dogsmilk would be as good?
as to the company and weird range of products. well,
somehow i think they are a lot like amway. buy other manufacturers
and re-label at a high margin.
and absolutely no info on the miracle cleaner, is very suss.
if this isn't understandable enough..
well, so be it.
personally i find some pretty scatty stuff, but if i want to read it
i persevere.
i would love someone to translate jonothans efforts for me.
and btw, i am still waiting for his reply as to what? allergies he
was saying were most common and unknown.
