My brother Tony did the pre-surgery vitamin program which was presented at the Seattle conference and he is feeling marvelous after this surgery. I know it is early days yet but he says there is no comparison between how he feel this time and last year when he had partial removal of the other kidney - he reckons the vitamins etc. have a lot to do with how good he feels. Thanks for telling us about it.
