Hi Chris! The Navelbine worked well for me for sure...I remember it to be the one that began the drop in the TM numbers. I have always thought that it was the one, but also the one that worked after being hit with some powerful others which at first didn't seem to have worked. Maybe what you've just done will have been the preliminary step to Navy Beans working just GREAT for you. I'm surely praying that this is just the one! luv, ma
