I know Iz doesn't get a ton in the way of supps, but it's cheap and there's a peer-reviewed study to back up the idea that daily dosing of canola oil reduces stomach acidity over the long term. It also helps add weight and calories without CRAZIESZZZZ!<br /><br />I would LOVE a thorough Emma review on how acupuncture works and what you think of it. I'm willing to be convinced, but I don't currently drink that koolaid yet.
