He is careful not to give medical advice, so pose the question very specifically about the human dose, not in a personal health context.

Good luck!

I am very surprised you have never heard it. I had never heard it when I attended a Beatlefest that had Terry Sylvester as a guest. And they did Carrie-Ann. And then we were stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike going home and heard the CD over and over again. 🙂 I love it.
