Dear Dr. McLeod,

I want to thank you for your informative book. There are too many promotional books out, touting the use of this or that supplement, using as \”support\” piles of exaggerated anecdotes or citing questionable research (which seems always to have been done in an obscure Eastern European country by a researcher who has no publications available in peer reviewed or accessible journals). Your book is a refreshing difference. I enjoyed your tale of your small single blind study and its remarkably robust results.

I hope you don\’t mind a small \”correction.\” In the Q&A in which you responded to the question about \”muzziness,\” I think you misunderstood this colloquialism. Muzziness usually means a feeling of clouded mind, a dopey feeling, \”fuzzy\” minded, thick-headedness, fogginess, rather than dizziness. This type of feeling and the headaches might indicate a mild allergic reaction to something in the formula the person is taking. Just a thought.

Thanks again for your fine work,
L L., MD
