Well Doc, I don't know if you have read Brookes Bradleys research on this (he runs a research institute) this is not the case. He says they have had *huge* success with using this protocol i.e. LET Vit C in their research. It is not costing much because I am doing it at home (using Brookes recommendation) and combining my lecithin with the Vit C using an ultra-sonic cleaner. Look up Brookes Bradley in the archives and you will see what I mean. dee
