Let's Say Somebody Were [in The White House] And They Wanted To Destroy This Nation. I Would Create Division Among The People, Encourage A Culture Of Ridicule For Basic Morality And The Principles That Made And Sustained The Country, Undermine The Financial Stability Of The Nation, And Weaken And Destroy The Military. It Appears Coincidentally That Those Are The Very Things That Are Happening Right Now.

There Comes A Time When People With Values Simply Have To Stand Up. Think About Nazi, Germany. Most Of Those People Did Not Believe In What Hitler Was Doing.

I've Gotten Literally Thousands Of Contacts From People Across The Country - And The Most Poignant Ones Being Elderly People - Who Said I Had Given Up On America And I Was Just Waiting To Die.

Maybe That's The Problem. But Whether They've Heard It Of Not. The Issue Is The Train That Is Going Off The Cliff. After We Save The Country, After We Keep The Train From Going Off The Cliff, I Would Welcome, Quite Frankly, A Discussion Of Morality In This Country.

A Neutral Ph 7.0 Resists Cancer Formation. An Acid Body Fluid Ph Of 6.44 And Below Permits Tumours To Biochemically Become Malignant. At Ph 7.5 Cancer May Become Inactive; At 8.5 Tumours May Disintegrate.

I Just Hated Poverty.

If We Develop In-depth Knowledge, It Will Enable Us To Give Our Best To Others And Help To Make A Better World.

If We Commit Ourselves To Reading Thus Increasing Our Knowledge, Only God Limits How Far We Can Go In This World.

So There Must Be Something Inherently Fair About It.

There's Absolutely No Reason At All That Physicians, Scientists, Shouldn't Be Involved In Things That Affect All Of Us.
