Hi Fred (or is it Ferd?)

As individuals, we make our own choices. I choose to
minimise my medications by careful diet management. You
choose freedom in your diet by adding medications.

We probably won't know whether either of us, or both, were
right or wrong for many years. In fact, I hope that it is
many, many complication-free years - for both of us:-)
