DIRECTORS COMMENT

RESEARCH. This is what I have done a lot over the last several months. The main reason is I am only willing to agree with folks that have actual facts based on statistics and hands on research. Other reasons are what most see on TV are media folks who think they are researchers and then they spread their info. Folks believe them because they feel they are a reliable source for information. A lot of their alleged network doctors are just that, network doctors. Most tell you what they are told to tell you. I tend to listen to those researchers that are hands on and have actual facts, not computer models for disease. I am not a doctor but keep this in mind; if you were going to have surgery for whatever, would you trust that your surgeon has told you everything or would you research the procedure just to make sure you understand what is going on, the risks involved, and hope everything goes well. I do and you should too!

Basically what I am saying is don’t believe everything the media tells you and especially don’t believe everything you see on social media.  This is why when I say, do your own research, YOU SHOULD.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!
