How are you doing with the Howard's Recipe?

I still do some of his recipe but I found it really did not help me. I am doing a lot better doing exercise I choose. In fact I have really improved my walking and balance since doing leg extension exercises and knee bends holding a 50 pound weight.

You sounded hopeful with Howard's recipe 80% better. I was looking forward to your recovery to look up to. Now I'm not sure. Don't you find more improvement after the 80%?

I am better for sure but the main reason is that I found good exercises that increase my stamina and strengthen my legs for better walking and balance. The recipe may help some but I found that my way is much better.

This is very good news. Do we know yet when it will be available and if it will be affordable?
