Thanks, Brutha. Although I don't really understand the last few lines, I take it you meant I can hear some words occasionally? But, the man I 've talked to said that once you hear the message, it'll be useless! Still, I really thank you for your help. However, I'm still interested to know what is " mental note" as in the affirmation. By the way, is there any side effect?(that's what holding my parents from buying it)
