Yep, I agree. Also with Marshall's comment re:where's the proof and what kind of
CS product was used. However, my experience with CS is not as remarkable as
yours or Marshall's, so I'm just not as convinced as you are, yet. If CS was all
I had, it would have to be my first choice.

I had heard of the use of oxytetracycline before I knew about CS and I bought
some and took it for 10 days. I did that because I had confidence in the use of
some meds for animals because of a very early experience. When I was 3 years
old, at the end of WW2, I nearly died from Diphteria. There was no medicine, no
vaccine. Just horse serum! They shot me up with 3000 units of that serum, and I
live to tell about it. In fact I carried a certificate that I should never be
immunized for Diphteria again. The US govm't accepted that for the 20 years I
accompanied my G I husband on his duty overseas. Just prior to the Diphteria I
had Cholera and was practically cured with grated apples.
Come to think of it, I've been healthy as a horse since the Diphteria ----
well, almost.
