I am not sure what this is about...but Carolyn is correct--this
is not SprayGel that is currently being used with great success
in Germany. Melissa had SprayGel with Dr. Kruschinski in April
(last month).......and no problems.........for the new people coming
on board.....please don't let this confuse you!!
Please notice the date of the post.
