I would never stake the health of anyone (or animal) on such a sniff test. Do it by the numbers in accordance with standard accepted (scientific) practices.

Just remember, you can always tell a fool but you can't tell him much!

There are all sort of specious processes for doing things, spunk water and dead cats for treating warts sort of stuff. Don't take dumb risks with health issues.

It is good to hear from you Andy.
