I view these as life savers for my Interstitial Cystitis, MS, IBS, Fibromyalgia and others. Thank you Dr. Meier. 58690@blogcritics.org Sat, 17 Apr 2004 21:37:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/115740.php#comment-29943 Thanks Dr. Syd, I'm glad it made sense to you. The book, though somewhat clumsy stylistically in parts, is very powerful and compelling. 29943@blogcritics.org Sun, 23 Nov 2003 17:31:31 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/115740.php#comment-29942 Great review.
