Medication

Support, encouragement, motivation and love
can heal the wounds of the soul, the spirit
or even the bone. But sometimes the wounds don't
heal, and toxins only make the pain worse.
Instead of heeling, the pain continues until it
becomes unbearable. By then, the toxins blur
the pain, which is only reality.
