Perhaps the Cubans are still pissed about all those ticks the US airdropped onto them back in the 1960's? :whistle:
Heal?? She discusses with ME/CFS people giving their bodies a chance to heal? What % of this community heals?
Yes, that is a prominent theory, prominent in a couple of ways including who promotes it, and its underpinning logic. It may be correct. In...
