  • Misack, you are absolutely correct, it’s not a joke. Real Health is your Real Wealth, not your money or other perishable material wealth you own, however, it is your health.

  • Thank you Misack for the very profound and timely advice to those who wish to live longer to take heed of.

    I smoked for 32 years and gave up 11 years ago, and I’m now a normal, healthy person minus all the problems associated with smoking.

    Smoking was killing me, but I won the battle.
