his supreme power and spirit, and you'll be lifted up to a special place of
beauty, passion, possibility and freedom." - Unknown

I was sorry to learn of the passing of Tom Ivers. While he sure knew
how to get folks stirred up, he usually had some evidence to back up
his views, and and you always knew where you stood with him.

I have followed his advice on a few occasions, usually with good
results, and purchased several products over the years, also with
good results for the most part.

I hope Edie can carry on and provide the products that Tom developed.
