• The first step toward the management of disease was replacement of demon theories and humours theories by the germ theory.

So it is with software engineering today.

When the frequency of the disease you have has been neutralized, the disease goes away. These machines absolutely, 100 percent allow the body to virtually cure all diseases.

• Throughout the early Christian period, every great calamity - famine, earthquake, and plague - led to mass conversions, another indirect influence by which epidemic diseases contributed to the destruction of classical civilization.

• Insects leave (Madagascar periwinkle) Catharanthus roseus out of their diets. So, for that matter, do deer.

These are drugs important in routines of chemotherapy for treating Hodgkin's disease and certain forms of leukemia.

• It does say something about a society when those who sue physicians and hospitals make as much or more money than those who heal disease.

• The real enemy is not fat but us. We are the misusers; we are the greedy ones. If we have no better sense than to purposefully destroy ourselves, it is no wonder that nature punishes us with vile diseases and calls in our maker long before their time. Nature remembers every extra bite of cherry pie, T-bone steak, fried chicken, pizza.
