OK, let's follow the trail here. We strongly suspect that Jeffery Epstein was a Russian Spy. We know that Jeffery Epstein had a very substantial source of unreported income along with his income from blackmailing the customers of his harem of children (male and female)

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Gallup Will No Longer Track Presidential Approval Ratings

Deepak Chopra, Timothy Caulfield end Twitter feud | CBC News Author Deepak Chopra and University of Alberta professor Timothy Caulfield spent many days butting heads on Twitter. But finally, there is a happy ending.

My experiences with Deepak Chopra? Um, not great.

A few years back he spread nasty lies about me. Questioned my integrity. And sent his online trolls after me. Not fun.

A deliberate strategy to use his "spiritual" influence to silence a critic.

The worst.

Namaste.
