    Isn’t there serious conflict of interest here?

    Don’t care of these diseases !

    Every frenchy, from president to peasants, knows there is a medicine that is universal, and cure everything (poor american people : you have to improve your medical science 😉 )and this way of curing comes from the ages ….

    It easy : it’s called “vin chaud” (hot wine).

    Take wine + water + sugars (quantity do not matter).

    If you want, you can even add bread in this panacee.

    There’s another that is very good and universal too and that is called a “brûlot”.

    Take Brandy, add many sugars and set fire to the drink !

    Then drink it ! You feel its efficiency at the moment you drink it ! No need to make studies !

    Of course, these are old medicine, but I can’t understand why french physicians and hospitals don’t use it instead of their *µ%ù+=0=@ pills and surgery.

  3. As a healthcare professional, Jimmy your comments are dead on. One thing people also need to consider is that Each years flu vaccine “recipe” is based on a statistical and prediction based on the goings on in the world (primarily Asia).
