As usual, it can be really helpful in some cases and not as much in others - I have heard Dr. Kellon recommend trying a full dose for 3 days and if you don't see any difference at all, it probably won't be helpful on an ongoing basis. I did see a good response for Salina - not as noticeable with Keil but he likes getting the spa treatment even if it means gel in the mouth. :)<br /><br />I have used it before for Keil Bay and Salina with decent results - but it's so expensive to buy. When I discovered I could make it myself I couldn't resist trying it out. So far so good.<br /><br />And my hands and face are getting really soft. :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-14216361184769051222012-05-21T18:16:29.001-05:002012-05-21T18:16:29.001-05:00Good thing you found that hole!

I've built a self draining platform for Val's water tub with them. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the HA info. How often do you give Salina and Keil their gel?Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-48880063855776072842012-05-21T17:50:42.378-05:002012-05-21T17:50:42.378-05:00Glad you found that hole before the herd did.

It's more work for us but worth it.<br /><br />Interesting about the HA. I'll confer with J. and see if we should use it.
