"This stuff was covered by insurance, good thing at ten bucks a day/pill. I began having nightmares nightly on these pills. Every night was a horror movie. Then around the third month, I awakened one morning with every joint in extreme pain. I got the pills, and both the nightmares and pain diminished to zero. I altered my diet to zero processed and factory foods, and everything no more clots."
