One more Cleveland post, then I’ll start scanning the news again.
We had four sessions at Osteomed, two Monday and two Tuesday. The first session started with the aluminum block test. My daughter flunked dairy, so she was treated for that. Four hours later, in the second session, she was tested again and cleared [...]
