Brian, I agree this is a good endevour, and if you start it, I will participate. But, IMHO, pills are the worst medication delivery method possible. They depend on a person to take on every day, an iffy proposal for even the most dedicated at best. A much better way to deliver medicine would be to have method, that be put into the body, dispense the medicine and then disolve. Chip Bryn M.
