Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Dear Diva Devi, Namaste!!! I'm surprised you signed up for a gem prescription from my company. That is very nice. Still you could contact Dr. Joshi and he is much superior in knowledge. Please write him after you get the prescription from my company for a 2nd opinion. Also, I am a bit removed from the WWW marketing department. Normally I'm not aware of what they're doing. Please also send ME your birth info and I'll look into your chart on my own PC and write you by private email. It will be interesting to see what I advise compared to what my staff advise. We have quite a few PGA's working for us full time at 4 locations plus the WWW, and they do charts every day. And they use the system which I taught them. So it will be interesting to see... If your interested to know how we choose gems thyen kindly read: http://www.agt-gems.com/Book/HowTo/Choose.html Please send me by private email your birth DATE (M/D/Y), TIME & PLACE and I'll get back to you.
