I know what you want

I know what you want

I have four sons from Lawrenta Omono my only wife, and I have fears for them when it comes to “Time To Get Married”. Those fears come from my experiences in my Counseling Room. I sit back and I listen to females tell me about how they have slept with a minimum of 25 Men, and what comes to my mind is, that means when she is getting married, her own husband who should be the only one to have slept with her if we go by God’s original plan will probably be the 31st Man sleeping with her, and I wonder what is left of the wholeness that she should have brought to her husband in Marriage. If you have slept with only 3 Men in your life as a woman, I can assure you that that is enough to visit a counselor and find out if all is still well with you, because every time we move away from God’s original plan, we pay for it in ways beyond our comprehension.

Protein, for example, raises your metabolism more than carbohydrate; other foods like Oolong tea are thermogenic, which means you actually burn calories after consuming them, and then there are the fats. While all contain the same number of calories (nine per gram), some build belly fat and others fight it”

This complex, finely tuned system stands ready to identify, attack and destroy any invading germs that would attempt to wreak havoc on your health; but just like the rest of your body, your immune system depends on you to take proper care of it, otherwise it can’t do it’s job as well as it should. What you need is a resource to show not only how to strengthen your natural resistance to disease but also how to heal yourself, if you do become sick. (It is all in the 7 Keys to maximum immunity).
