I began using this about 2 months ago because I had back surgery scheduled. I'm 69 years old with some health issues so thought I could use some assistance with my immune system. Because of a complication after they began the surgery wasn't completed but I had been opened up so I continued taking the Epicor. When I began taking this I had a recurrent skin infection under my beard that had been an issue for years. I also had a couple spots on my upper torso that were fungal infections. I had tried just about everything from natural to pharmaceutical for both without success. After about 4-5 weeks of using Epicor I noticed a longer interval between breakouts of the facial infection. Now when the breakout happens it starts like it's going to be bad but within a day or so it stops and starts healing. This has been a bad infection with open sores that are ugly and painful. The only thing in the past that helped was antibiotic ointment or alcohol put directly on my face which stung like crazy. After noticing how much better my face is doing I checked the fungal infections and they are just about gone! I can't believe it! This is easily one of the best supplements I have ever taken and will continue using it for the rest of my life.
