Karol, you are a very good detective.  Where do you find this stuff?  You are also very motivated to keep digging until you help me or someone else.  Thank you !

I love reading the articles and being one step ahead.  I would never find these articles if Okarol didn't post them.  Thanks for all your dedication to kidney disease.  You help many every day.    :cuddle;

No disagreement here!  In fact whenever I come across something through my own looking about, usually I've already read it here.
