wow, it has been over nine years since I last posted to this thread...  First let me thank you all for the countless hours of human experimentation that has gone on. From this thread, I first learned about famitodine and have been using it continuously for 10 years. That's a lot of booze folks, and frankly, it has been totally worth it! So much non-red drinking, so much fun. I'm freaking healthy as ever too. I am greatly impressed with the pharmaceutical promise of Convivia, which led me to this thread once more... also thx for the tip about Vitamin C and L-cysteine -- I'll give that a try and will post a follow up.
