powerback Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi great post , I'm enraged reading it ,sadly when the MPs and doctors and big pharma folk all live in the same neighbourhoods there is not a hope of change ,its everything to do with power and authority ,these people will send there children to the same schools and the same merry go round happens . The insanity of these doctors is they believe every bit of rubbish they spin , I heard a great saying recently ,doctors made great students ,theres to much information available these days to even care what they say . This amazing site and other great movements around the world will bring change .As for politicians, give me a bucket . Rant over thanks for post respect PB Alcohol free since February 2015 1MG diazepam 4.5MG PROZAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
