Dude, its real....unfortunately....I never imagined being able to deal with these, but after 6 months, I am actually excited to see them coming out....all I can say is, its a long process, but yes, I believe we are all plagued....and I recently became a believer of Christ....I still battle what I don't know what it is, but all I can say is, natural medicine and spiritual belief can help. Also, eat lots of raw pineapple, pumpkin seeds, and wormweed drops....at the local health store....this site has saved my life, and I thank all of you....and I'm celebrating my 40th, and never thought I'd get this far!!
