Thank you donriser for posting your thoughts. It does take alot to post here. It surely doesn't feel as safe and secure as the Academy. But I, like you have been trying to be more open here.
Mr. Francesco is an active and wonderful TM at the Academy and it did sadden me to read the negative comments, it was like one person made one and then every one jumped on the band wagon... no, not as safe as the Academy for sure.
As far as tasting myself, yeah, and I love it (blush). My master has me take garlic at times to make the taste change. It also changes the taste of pee... major blush!
