@tombocombo5 Ify at best. Certainly the claims that are made for all the things it is good for would be impossible. Gerd Vs IBS VS Depression Vs pain Vs anxiety Vs Vs Vs....all the things people claim it does would be contra indicated since you can't use the same drug to treat disorders that have opposite causes. If it is actually usable for something almost no one is using it for that condition. Glaucoma maybe but mental impairment vs using an eye drop. What REALLY makes sense....

[tombocombo5]

@MichaelnChristine you haven't done much research then! It certainly can be.... when its not abused

@MopDMTBARTL I guess I have to spell it out for you. I said this: "Cyanide is natural. Go for it?" Your very earnest answer followed. In response to "Go for it?" you should have said this: "Please do." You should have exchanged your excessive earnestness for wit.

[MopDMTBARTL]

@Jitpring - Please do? you do not make sense

[Jitpring]

@MopDMTBARTL I was testing you. You failed. The wittiest answer you could have given would have been simply this: "Please do."

[MopDMTBARTL]

@Jitpring - yeah smart ass, not everything natural is going to be good for you. I'm merely pointing out the natural stuff that is good for you like fruits and vegetables is far better than a man made cookie or burger from McDonalds

@MopDMTBARTL Cyanide is natural. Go for it?
