However, there are

Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs
18、 also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday
