What do you think about this? I think it's a good thing to let people know that they're at risk for certain diseases, but medicating a problem that doesn't appear to have any research behind it really irks me.

That's a pretty big deal for something that wasn't even a problem. Wow.

I am convinced that you stole my wife to make her his priestess.
