Everyone keep shying away ignorantly from herbal cures to several diseases which the orthodox industry is fighting against so they will make more money from control drugs. I am Susan Garry Bode, was diagnosed of stage 2 cancer 5 years ago whhich changed my life totally. I was depressed for months,and I was at the point of committing suicide until I read about Dr Oza Guru a tradomedical doctor who cured a co worker of mine from brain tumor. I was skeptical at a point about the treatment but later gave it a try because my colleague was cured of a case which is also cancer related. I contacted him and make a request for a cure to my sickness which he replied immediately and assured me of my cure. I did all he required and the herbs where prepared and sent to me within 4 days which I took as prescribed,Just 3 days after taking his herbal remedies I began to see healing changes and less pains, in 21 days all symptoms and sickness faded off.

I work with cancer patients and my most favorite thing is when they come back to visit and we don't recognize them because they've put a little weight back on, have rosy cheeks and hair again!! It makes me so happy.

We should learn a lesson from them - all we do is procrastinate or negative thinking and sitting duck and thinking we are not good. a tight slap to all those think like that.
