To all: I have a patient who is taking something called the "Thomas Jefferson Clarke Colloidal Minerals." He totally swears by it and says that it has basically cured his back pain in the past. I did a general search, but found all these conflicting ideas on this product... it seems to have been marketed heavily!! I saw a website called the Healthmarket, which labelled this mineral as being a scam. My question is does anybody have experience with this mineral, and are there any good references for/against it. The only reason why I am asking is that my boss also takes this mineral, and gives it to his kids, in the hope that it would boost their immune systems through taking these "trace elements." Personally, I would rather spend my money else where... but does anybody have any thoughts or ideas. Thanx in advance Henry*** _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
