Apologies if my post seemed to insinuate irresponsibility on the part of members; the word "extoll" was inappropriate in this context. My main point is this: no one knows whether long-term use of CS as a preventive measure is appropriate, although I have seem many advertisements and messages suggesting that this use is beneficial and harmless. We simply do not know that this is true yet.
I personally have used CS periodically and experimentally to deal with particular problems, and believe it has benefits. So far, this is the best I can offer anyone. One thing I have noticed and find very interesting: I often get powerful dream activity when first going back on CS, suggesting that it most definitely does penetrate the blood/brain barrier. I would be curious to know how many others, if any, have observed this effect.
