So happy you mentioned meds-obesity link. You then mention “managing” the problem. What would that be? We’re not gonna eat kale, and are too fat & groggy to exercise.

The stigma remains because we don't have any cure and why on earth do we have to accept it...the very worse things can happen and we also need to be kept safe from it as well

Has any one noticed the similarities of the parents compared to Jonbenets mother and father the mother up to do show was everything and the father quite military always at work well accomplished wealthy and Boulder 97 miles from Colorado Springs both religious mothers, although it's 30 40 years difference but some of claim the church that the Ramsey's attended and some have allegedly sexual abuse happened and Jonbenets was Sacrificed in a ritual the reason why I'm bringing this up is in the documentary 2 brother claim they were crucified I think Matthew a Peter that really really bothers me that something deep happened to the boys like rituals with the church as Jonbenet I heard a pod cast and a poem was sent I the detectives 20years ago about St John's church called The Manchurian Doll very creepyit may mean nothing may not have any thing to do with any thing but the abuses within the church is just saying maybe I'm sounding wacko just a observation.

I agree. I feel like something about these sicknesses is demonic and spiritual, and are of unfortunate generation curses. I know I'm going to get judged for this. But I really do see it in that light and nothing will change my mind otherwise.
