    Hey guys

    Most cancer nurses I've talked to over the years would do what you did..the total double.. Though the studies are not out yet - true studies take over a decade, at several cancer centers, they take you off animal protein and sugar all together during treatment..... As you always do, when...

    Uterine Fibroids

    I can tell you that the media has done women a great disservice...too many were performed before the women's movement (listening to the mom's of the 50's and60's, lots to do with begging for help to stop pregnancy before birth control was accepted)..........but I digress.........having seen SO...
