I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.<br />MATINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558912772822043673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584254155023774978.post-67658603881221624792017-04-05T21:32:46.128-07:002017-04-05T21:32:46.128-07:003 Researches PROVE How Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat...<b><a href="http://coconut-diet.syntaxlinks.com/r/CoconutKillsFat" rel="nofollow">3 Researches PROVE</a></b> How Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat.<br /><br />This means that you literally burn fat by eating Coconut Fat (also coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).<br /><br />These 3 studies from major medicinal journals are sure to turn the conventional nutrition world upside down!Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287821785570247118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584254155023774978.post-17598341301902369792014-02-05T20:02:06.505-08:002014-02-05T20:02:06.505-08:00Practice definitely helps, I made a mess the first...Practice definitely helps, I made a mess the first time too :) Thanks for your nice comments Gordana!

I made my own once, but had all kinds of problems with the balm not advancing from the tube when twisted. Could have been the tubes, could have been the balm base I was using. I should give lip balms another go one of these days. And sugar scrubs sound very nice, too.LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584254155023774978.post-25756246625156436892014-02-02T15:04:18.710-08:002014-02-02T15:04:18.710-08:00I would love to make my own lip balm, but even bet...I would love to make my own lip balm, but even better, my sister had given me a bunch of lip balms made by a fellow soaper so I'm covered off for a while.

There are just no fun comparing to soaps, but here, people will usually give the same amount of money for a lip balm than for a soap. l could never understand this.
