Bob, I DO feel better this morning after taking the four pb tabs last night. I have found that pepto-bismol can be just as effective and much safer. Pepto-bismol is really bismuth salts stabilized in a salicyate base.
Bismuth salts have broad spectrum anti-biotic properties.
You will find that as you go further out on the protocol you won't see as much difference in regard to your symptoms between the days you do and the days you don't take the pepto. Near the end you won't be able to tell the difference. I'll discuss the specifics of why I think this works for some folks with arthritis in my book. Thanks for helping confirm this phenomenon again for me.
