  1. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God.
    I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the
    bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is
    bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and
    all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am
    not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I
    completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going
    to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you
    know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
    It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is
    dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself
    because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially
    when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women
    tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try
    to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I
    accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks
    of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I
    experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal
    medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes,
    Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
    Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia
    Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's
    disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,,Lyme
    Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic
    disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman
    infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid.
    disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic
    Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of
    Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's
    disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy,
    Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's
    app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is
    simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself,
    your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back.
    Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville
    and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just
    starting to grasp this one.
