ImmunicsBuddies_Tinnitus. "Hi, I'm Frannie.
We're saving the world by teaching people that they can
cure and how to cure disease and have fun doing it.
If people with tinnitus can personally interact with
others who are using immunics to cure or control it, and
coach one another, they will not only become asymptomatic
within a few months, but will form a revolutionary cadre
that will go on to eradicate all diseases from humanity,
because this is the natural tendency of anyone who becomes
able to cure or control any disease.
If you have been suffering from tinnitus and wish to cure
it, wish to prevent it, wish to help a friend cure it, are
already doing so, or are an immunics master who has cured
other things and wish to help people with tinnitus, your
posts are welcome in this group." Yahoo! group.
