I understand that pip is part of the process. emotional integrity, preparation or experience levels has nothing to do with the reaction that Me and a small percentage of people experience. I'm not a vet but but I've pinned myself enough to know the difference between pip and what I experienced. I'm not bashing kalpa or any sponsors. I endured the pain for twelve weeks with good results but for people to tell me that large knots and swelling in my gluts for days after i pin is a normal reaction and call it pip is just nonsense!
