I did not pay the subscription when he introduced it about 6 months ago because I felt I had already understood the concept of EF and was able to implement it without further help. There are other great (free) sites such as <A HREF="http://Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-30449942896525116592008-09-08T00:13:00.000+00:002008-09-08T00:13:00.000+00:00I have read as much as I can from Arthur De Vaney'...I have read as much as I can from Arthur De Vaney's website without subscribing. 40+ dollars up front, I reckon is a tad too commercial, and from what I understand about Arthur, he is a wealthy man, so he does not need this income to survive.<BR/>Reading Arthur's diet guidelines, I for one could not afford it.
