Friends,
The aspect that people with diabetes need insulin to survive is posted here.
I wonder if that posting could lead you to believe that one needs to take psycohptropic chemicals to survive like a person that has diabetes. If you are interested, I am requesting that you read the following article that addesses that aspect.
I would like for you to read chapters 1 and 2 and any other chapters.
Lou
