The medical profession has done a huge amount of good. If, you have appendicitis, or you want to avoid catching polio, or you break a bone, run to the nearest doctor.

The most effective way of fighting them is to take the antioxidants. But that is not the only answer.
Do you know the number one risk factor for heart disease? It’s not high cholesterol. It’s not high blood pressure. It’s not smoking.
