Or the Colloidal silver and gold. He's been taking it himself, swears by it, although he's started to turn a little blue and is beginning to resemble "Papa Smurf".
Safflower and Sunflower oils, equal parts or thereabouts, to balance your Omega three's and sixes; how many people could cure their cancer if only they knew?

"Take these." he says, and hands me a bottle. "You'll feel better in three days..."
