John,
I somehow wish I could meet you. I do not want to convince
you (or anyone else) to use cholestyramine as a treatment
for whatever ails you. However, I would like you to know
that I have approximately 30 lbs. of doctors' records kept
in my closet to prove how awful my "disease" was. I saw
just about every specialist you can name in the medical
field. They all had "positive" results in one aspect or
another that I was truly suffering from something that they
could not explain. Unfortunately, most doctors are only
knowledgable in the treatment of symptoms. This is
especially true when no "disease" is catalogued to have a
definition that includes every problem I used to have. So I
ended up with a closet full of medications. They all were
successful, to some extent, to releave symptoms I was
experiencing. However, Dr. Richie Shoemaker's protocol had
an effect on all of the symptoms. Dr. Hudnell gave it a
name. I realize how many people think them to be "quacks",
or whatever. But it takes years to prove some theories. I
have nothing but the utmost respect for those two. I would
not be able to continue their fight to try showing
neighsayers they are correct. I came from a very extensive
scientific background. My father was a physicist with over
150 patents. My mother was a mensa. Both of them instilled
in me the sense of wonder, and doubt. All I can say is, if
they were alive now, they would have no doubts about Dr.
Shoemaker and Dr. Hudnell's work. Plus, my father's
favorite line about research was "it is easier to prove
something is NOT true, than it is to prove something IS
true".

I respectfully am closing now, Sally
