Well, I had a doctor flat out tell me she was giving me advice as a woman, and not a doctor. And then I finally clear the pre-cancerous HPV that had been refusing to leave my body for close to 2 years. When she retired just as I got pregnant, I sobbed. ILY Dr. Sekar, wherever you are.

When I was five the doctors told my parents asthma would kill me before I reached adulthood. My grandpa had connected in the Catholic Church and got the oil that seeped out of the gravestone of some Saint and had me drink it. My asthma became “manageable” within a month. Although I still have it and severely I am now 39 and have been able to be an athlete since the oil. Before the oil couldn’t cry or laugh without an attack ever time.
