I have been a health enthusiast for a long time; exercised, taken supplements and herbals, made a point to improve my mental disposition and how I talk to myself. I can definitely see the benefits in my very good health, and can honestly recommend from my own experience that exercise and supplementation plus avoiding all medications, perscription or not is good for your health.
