worse. Be sure to tell your health care
provider about all your health conditions, including heart conditions, high
blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, bubonic
plague, genital herpes, tooth decay, Leishmaniasis, Lyme Disease, any immune
system disorder or compromise, muscular dystrophy, cholera, scoliosis,

too much of a LABRCA medicine may cause chest pain, an increase of blood
pressure, tentacle growth, or a violent explosion of the head, with potential
risk of injury to bystanders.
Screuitol® 500 mg medicine is for children between
the ages of 7 and 14 and adults between the ages of 33 and 35 whose doctors
have determined that their negative life attitude has not been improved by
other medications. Screuitol® is not a treatment for any condition
listed in the World Health Organization’s International
Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), Ed. 10, or the American Psychiatric
Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), Ed. 5.

ReplyDeleteI actually wrote the satire part first, which was the point. The product choice was secondary. Make sure you check the link at the bottom of the page. There are more products!
If you have a face that would disgust Quasimodo...... This will make you feel better about yourself, raise your self-esteem and do your homework for you. :)
