A lot of things are all in the mind..............if you can get your mind to release it's own medication, well good for you. Mine has too strong a sense of scepticism. |

Posssibly the most unfortunate medical performances are the harassed doctors giving anti-biotics to whining women with cold infested kids on a frequent basis. |
