Being a layman in chemistry, I'm not sure how those simple variations will actually "act out" in our system. While, by the graphics provided, the molecules do have many similarities, it would be interesting to have any chemists on the board explain this all some more. I'm still pretty skeptical about your theory because I've never found those drugs to bring me any relief, not that I ever used it for medicinal purposes (well, any relief from an attack or a cycle). On the other hand, it is an interesting theory. By the way, your response to why you are here was a very good one. I mean, if this has worked for you and you've been CH free for a long time, please share your info. I'd hate to think that this board is only to be used by people who haven't found something that works for them. That would just keep the rest of us in the dark. Oh, one more thing. What was the homepage address for the article you sent us. I prefer to know if the source is credible or not before I take it's contents to be true.
Anyway, thanks for the info and the suggestions.
