I never mind helping a friend or family member. But subjecting my body to scientific experimentation may have been one step too far.

My Aunt-Cousin (so called because she is my Mother's second cousin, and it is just easier to call her Aunt) is also a writer. She has self-published several children's books, some devotionals, and a line of artistic greeting cards. I've turned to her for advice on several occasions as I explore this world of writing.

Several years ago she moved away from this area and down to Florida. She was also looking to make extra income and discovered a nutritional supplement that was working wonders. Of course she introduced all of her friends and most of the immediate family to the dietary aid. When she reached out to me, I was sure to be cautious.

But, when she mentioned the coffee replacement, I was curious. She sent me a few sample packets with instructions that read like a NASA Astronaut's cookbook! Regardless, I gave the tincture a taste.

The whole day I was jittery. My nerves buzzed like a live wire. My focus was so intense that I could solve three problems at once. I just couldn't sit still long enough to apply the solutions!
