I disagree. The core problem with all Western Medicine is it focuses on treating people after they get sick instead of focusing on lifestyle issues that keep them well. The U.S. is the worst example of this, but other Western counties follow the same model, albeit in less extreme fashion.

Really?? None of your posts have hinted at anything other than success.

Aren't you married? With a stay at home wife caring for your 2 young children? In a nice house? In a nice neighborhood?

What do you think Trump is going to do for you?
