    What a brilliant subject to talk about it had me hooked from the beginning. I have your book in my Amazon basket methinks I should buy it sooner rather then later.

    The leg might have been better treated with just the rose and marshmallows which both have anti inflammatory properties and honey soaked into the wound as this is antibiotic and it cleaned and drained. The leads certainly didn’t help. Today a fistula would not be closed until everything had healed.
