Hi Daniel,

With all due respect, I think I will stick to my rosehips fresh from the
garden/wild,as we have wild rosehips in abundance around here. I never get colds
& I never ever take flu shots. In my opinion the less we eat out of packages &
yes that includes capsules, etc. the better off we are for it.

Well performed is better than well stated...,dedicated to all people everywhere,
in all countries, of all ages & all professions & all schools of thought, who
have either directly or indirectly contributed to native knowledge, our
birthright. Best Always, Jim Igo
