While it is true that acne most commonly appears during the
teenage years, it is just as true that a large percentage of
individuals suffer from adult acne. In fact, figures show that
as much as 25 percent of men and 50 percent of women in their
twenties up to their fifties still experience pimple flare-ups.

Vitamins
Natural vitamins are those organic food substances which are
found only in plants and animals, i.e., living things. The body
is not able to synthesize or manufacture vitamins (although
there are a few exceptions to this). Because of this, they must
be supplied either directly in the diet, or by way of dietary
supplements. Vitamins are vital if our body is to function
normally. They are absolutely necessary for our growth,
general-well being and vitality. Vitamins cannot be ...

paid the doctor for his/her services, however, if a patient
became ill the treatments were free. The assumption being that
the doctor did not do ...

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but Will
interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet
and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas Edison
The more we read about prescription medicines the more
convinced we are that if at all possible, stay away.
