Done. It took me about 15 minutes.

This is the reply I received today from uBiome. I have a feeling we will be waiting for a while yet. :(

I'm glad that it is working for some of you. I'm into month 6 of Chronic Sinusitis with no end in sight. :wtf:

Have you contacted them about sending you a replacement kit?

The first message in this thread claims "We learn nothing about nutrition, claim medical students". I've read many times that when nutrition is taught in medical schools it is very basic and pretty much worthless.

I have no idea how old you are, @brf , however, aging does cause our veins to be more prominent, especially with gravity as someone else mentioned. As we get older our subcutaneous fat thins out causing our veins to be much more noticeable.

Personally, I'd rather have tinnitus than Alzheimers. ;)

Yes, I do have tinnitus, however, I'm guessing that it is my love of loud music that is likely the cause. I've had it for years.

Am I the only one who can't find the news article that this thread is about?

Great letter, Robert!

Poor kids!
