  • I’m impressed! This lady was so blessed to have found a competent homeopath, & to be healed! I had an ex-husband die a painful death from pancreatic cancer. He would have gone to someone like Claudia DeRosa (USA) if he could have found one. Thanks for sharing the treatment, & results! Keep up the good work!!!
