wondering why any of us need Health Services .So great is the list of ailments all of which can be cured by these wonder herbs . Indeed it appears more like a medical book .( my mother would have loved it ).

You cant have lived in Germany and not be familiar with the following :-

So whilst on the health theme , here is the sixth tip extolling Green Tea .

Is this all hocus pocus ? Are we all so conditioned to expect super medicaments , developed at some astronomical cost ?
I know what I think but right now am off to drink coffee, then out to enjoy ice cream.
