I hope they are wrong

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169439) • United States 23 May 18

My first husband's younger half brother is being tested next month for the same illness that killed him, and their grandfather. I hope whatever trouble he is having the neurologist figures it out. And I hope they are wrong.

Have You any Personal Experience of Coconut Oil??

Marja @buenavida (9984) • Sweden 21 Apr 13

I just learned something new - for me - that, if it is true, may help a lot of people with health problems. The special thing about the fat in Coconut seems to be that it is so easily digested. It does not need bile released...

Do you give alms to the needy?

wrangel15 @wrangel15 (1443) • Philippines 4 Oct 10
