I'm not seeing a lot of people who have seen strong benefits in practice. What do you think?

[munchybunch]

Have you tried this or are you thinking of trying it?

[ElliotGreen in reply to munchybunch]

I haven't tried it. I'm at a stage where I'm trying to evaluate what my options are moving forward. So I'm trying to find and assess the available information. I also want to read other people's experiences and assessments, and to participate in discussions. So here we are!

Cool. Let us know either way if you can. First I've heard of an infrared lamp. Would you be willing to share the details of the one you're buying?
