Thank you for clearing this up.

Ok, thanks for that one as well.

I stand corrected, the color is as you describe.

I am glad to hear that.

As I told Jason, my statement was easily misunderstood, because I didn't
specifically say why she is taking it.  It is for Thrush/Candida and a
prophylactic to ward off anyother viral/bacterial things which might
come her way.  She is in very good hands wrt to being treated for
cancer.

Thanks for your input.  I appreciate it a lot.

Ciao,

Craig
