[pct-l] Health Remedy

[Tortoise]

I don't know how it works either.  Maybe it is the Vitamin C; maybe 
something else in the fresh lemon juice.

There is also a manual juicer.  It is a somewhat conical shaped wooden 
device with a simple rod-like handle. Too heavy for ultra-light but OK 
for others.

By the way, shall we start calling you a "lemony"??????? :-)
