I've seen this happen many times before here. A new person to this site is given some honest answers that go against what the "newbie" originally believed and feels like they are being assaulted. But really you're not. What you got at your health food store is not the O2 that we discuss as an abortive. I use the liquid oxegyn version of it and that's not what it is either. Liquid oxegyn is in the tank in liquid form, but gets transfered through a device that heats it enough to be gaseous by the time it is in the mask on my face.
Anyway, my point is really supposed to be that you weren't attacked. Riccardo wasn't ridiculing you in his post. If you knew him you'd understand that he's the last person to attack anyone here, his kissing bandit tendencies aside. If you can imagine that this wasn't an online forum but that a group of us were in a room discussing this you might be able to see the smile that accompanied his post. And Ueli certainly wasn't attacking you either. He was giving you information to help you understand why you were mistaken in your thoughts of what O2 is. Sometimes it's a hard pill to swallow being corrected in front of a large audience. But I honestly don't think that what you bought will prove successful in the long run. And if I, and Ueli, are right, would you rather that you weren't led in the right direction to attaining some help to save what you feel as a bit of red-face? Or would you rather be corrected, even in front of many people, and be led in the right direction with something that can help abort the attacks?
One last thing. Thank you for your post about Glaxo-Wellcome. That was nice to see you sharing this information.
