I am, however, very glad that you have found what works for you. I've been in the darkness, so I'm always thrilled for a fellow traveler to find the light. It makes me super happy. So I wouldn't try to dissuade you from your path, since you are getting the desired results. That would be dumb. This thread is not about being "right" or "wrong". It is not about criticizing a method that is working for someone. It's about those who are going round and round and round not having success, sometimes despite earnest application of traditional methods.
