  9. I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR PAUL ODUKU cured them from HERPES virus, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after 21 days. Within 21 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR PAUL ODUKU because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR PAUL ODUKU via odukuherbalremedies@gmail.com or through his WhatsApp +2349064430408 https://naturalherbalremedyblog.wordpress.com

  12. You know how tricky and sophisticated cryptocurrency can be. I invested a lot in a project, mistakenly the devs were unknown. I planned to hold the coin long term but after 2 months the project was rug pulled, I lost about 1.3btc and 27 eth in total. After referrals and positive reviews I contacted NERDORACLE247@GMAIL.COM, to my greatest surprise he recovered it all from the block chain in less than 48 hours
