Customer Reviews

not recomended!
Totally biased with little or no evidence to support the claims made. No explanation of the mechanisms of 'receptor damage' ' permanent brain damage' or any other statements of 'facts' made. Appears to be little more than a personal view or crusade, drawn out for some 200 pages and liberally scattered with plugs for the author's other outpourings.

Don't bother!
