Facts from German Medicine
With the unusual medical facts of the ancient tribes and different peoples in all kinds of articles and programs, many faced. Chinese folk medicine, conspiracies and hypnotic dances from diseases - all this excites and stirs the mind, I want to know - but do these methods really help?
