Hello, I just got finished listening to this session on the IQoro and I’m sure it could help me. I am allergic to all meds or for that matter, anything natural. So, I really got excited to hear all about it. Then I cried when I heard it wasn’t available in the US. I’m beside myself. Is there a back door to go through? Thank you for a wonderful summit.
Hi Shoshanna,
we might be able to figure something out. Several people reached out. Not sure if we will take an active role in it, but we
– reached out to the Iqoro team if they have ideas.
– will research what kind of parcel forwarding services could be available
– for a small prepayment fee, no guarantees apart from documentation that we do everything right, we might be able to help with a small batch, other options preferred.
I will reach out once we got something figured out!
Thank you!
