Serrano made controlled experiments on 1,800 women who had trouble nursing: 50% could not nurse at all without ixbut, but did well with it; 35% who could nurse only a little showed marked improvement with ixbut. The 15% who got no benefit were mostly nervous types. But Serrano found the same proportion of failures among goats which, he insists, were not nervous. Animals also give the lie to scoffers who say that the effect of ixbut is psychosomatic. Dairymen report that ixbut doubles the milk production of their cows...

At home, Albert's brothers & sisters called him "the dreamer." At school, reading and writing came hard to him, and his nervous giggle earned him the nickname of Isaac (in Hebrew, "He laughs"). His parents had all they could do to keep him at his piano lessons. Twenty minutes was set aside for practicing each day, but Albert often scandalized the family by spending the first 15 minutes in the bathroom groaning...
