I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.MATINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827922186910353142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-13079672495631119192017-04-15T07:07:29.021-04:002017-04-15T07:07:29.021-04:00That's interesting, and so sad.

I know when I was a teenager I sometimes texted when on the bike, but nowadays when I am out and about I prefer to not be distracted at all.<br />An accident can happen easily if you're attention is somewhere else. I know during my study we had a short note during a course about this and the danger and how even hands free was still dangerous as part of your attention is somewhere else.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-483240299214731882017-04-12T10:18:41.579-04:002017-04-12T10:18:41.579-04:00I agree with you 100%.

It's ridiculous. And it's not just texting. People are either checking email, messing with their navigation systems, or thumbs-upping songs on Pandora...that ALL counts as upping your risk for an accident. Someone asked me today why I use Google Maps instead of Waze--because if you're using Waze, you're clicking on things and reading and such. Google Maps does the SAME thing--it builds the Waze traffic info. in and you can set it at home and not touch it again until you get to your destination.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-87011644855212030422017-04-09T21:20:03.655-04:002017-04-09T21:20:03.655-04:00Woah, I did not hear this story.
