How can anyone face a gun? They just locked them behind the locked doors. When docs the door close? It closes when our work is done on Earth. At times, some lives are spared to finish what they arc suppose to finish, It is a sad existence to try to have material things just to show up others who are less fortunale.

I think it important to note (hat there has never been a single recorded death at- tributed to herb consump- tion. 3. “‘Peaple spend hundreds of dollars on herbs,’” Now, I don’t know about you but frankly what I spend my owl money on is my own business. Perhaps a more pertinent observation from a health practilioner might be “People spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on nicotine, alcohol, nutricnt- free fast foods, and sugar- laden soft drinks.”’ In fairness to all, there are many disreputable herbal products and herbalists out there as there are in any in- dustry. The doctor is correct — buyer beware. Check your sources carefully, Herbs don’t cure anything. What they do is provide vi- tal nutrients (sadly needed in today’s nutrient depleted world) that nourish the body 50 that it can achicve and maintain a stale of optimal health characterized by vitality and freedom from disease.
