I like ‘pro-health’ or ‘preventive medicine’ better than ‘anti-aging medicine’. It is way more positive and has a better vibe! ) A great quote from a great friend: “Support causes that are PRO something, not Anti. Energy goes where focus goes…!” So, what do YOU think?

He always has great tips so I knew that I needed to find this cream ASAP. I immediately went out and picked up a tube of ‘Traumeel’, made in Germany, and started [...]
