    Lee Ritsick replied to the topic Did you ever reach a point of acceptance? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 8 months, 1 week ago

    I am encouraged.

    I bought Mannitol from Amazon.  Around $16.  So far, I have only used it 2 days but I already notice a change.  I intend to keep it up.
