Hi Xeno,

This is actually a question related to a post of yours from a year ago:

I couldn't find another way to contact you than this. Was it you who tried the Periogen or was the article written by someone else. I would love to hear the results of the Periogen as I'm contemplating buying some myself.

Thank!
Alex
