Dear XXXXX,

Big holiday dinners have an unspoken dark side: the gastrointestinal distress that results from getting stuffed on fatty main courses, buttery sides, and creamy desserts.

Flatulence, irritable bowels, heartburn, indigestion, and growling guts are all conditions that can be treated without polluting our bodies with antacids and other over-the-counter drugs that, for many people, don't even work.

Interview Bill Downs, one of the world's leading experts on diet and digestion....

To arrange an interview with Bill, please contact XXX XXXX at 610-642-XXXX xXXX, or XXX@GregoryFCA.com.

Thank you for your consideration!

Dear XXX,

Those big family dinners we enjoy at Christmas have an unspoken dark side, one that's among society's last taboos: the flatulence that results from gastrointestinal distress.

Instead of spreading Christmas cheer, we're spreading Christmas gas...

Weird, eh? It reminds me of that hip hop song, "somebody FARTED, ohwoh-o-woh, ohwoh-o-woh"
