I first bought Flexitol about 10 years ago, and it literally changed my life. I had gotten cracked heels when I was pregnant 30 years ago, and tried many products and treatments over the years but could not get rid of them. Wearing sandals or going barefoot was embarrassing, and forget about a pedicure or a foot rub! I stumbled across Flexitol one day and used it every day as directed, and within two weeks my cracked heels were gone. Completely gone! I couldn't believe it. Now I just use it once or twice a week for maintenance.The active ingredient is urea, and I suppose if you could find another product with the same level of urea it would probably work, but I haven't seen anything else like it. It's a little pricey, but a tube lasts a long time and is well worth it. You need only apply a very small amount. I cannot recommend this enough, it really is like a miracle product.

I have used natural/herbal remedies for more than 30 years, with varying results. However, oil-pulling works.

I recently upgraded to Quicken 2014 Home & Business. For several weeks it has worked, although it has been a little quirky. After entering data for about 12 hours last night, I initiated a manual backup and Quicken crashed. I opened Quicken again and it said the data file was in use by another program. I shut down every nonessential process, no luck. Rebooted several times, no luck. Spent 2 hours chatting with tech support. That's when I discovered my data file had gone from over 780 mb to only 28 kb. It destroyed my data. Luckily I back up after every use, but it will take days to reconstruct this disaster as I have already shredded the images that I put in Quicken. I have also learned that to go back to the 2013 version, I will lose all data entered since the upgrade. I have used Quicken for over 20 years and routinely buy each new upgrade. I am floored that they would release such a poorly tested product and make it next to impossible to get support. I have never written a review before, but I am hoping no one has to go through what I am about to go through . . . trying to reconstruct lost data because the program(not a hard drive failure, fire, theft, etc.) destroyed it. I repeatedly asked the agent on the chat line to elevate this issue to the engineers in the US, but was told I was a high as I could go. They offered a number for phone support, but stated that the support over the phone was very poor. I am hoping that by putting this review on Amazon, Intuit will see it and fix there product (it would also be nice if they would help restore the file their program destroyed).

I send this as a warning to all of u who might be planning on purchasing this item. It is not worth the money. Overheats and then cools down. I think it has some kind of defect. I bought 2 and both do the same thing.
