I have a few issues with your response. First, acetaminophen is not a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID), it is a painkiller of a completely different class. It can cause liver damage in large doses, but it is not known to cause GI ulcers the way ibproufen or other NSAID's can. Second, Tylenol PM contains the antihistamine diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl. This is why it puts people to sleep. I agree that it's a good idea to avoid long-term use of sleep-inducing medication, but it is useful to know what a person is actually taking.

Start this protocol today, and you will feel 100% better in month then you've ever felt in your life. Ben, I've been reading alot about Vit. D3 sources, and that the tablet form (small white disc, that comprises 90% of the Vit. D3 out there) is not very well absorbed by the body. Because D3 is oil soluble, we should be taking it in oil form (i.e. a gelcap). It was even suggested that this form is better that the sublingual spray. Any thoughts on this?
