    Hi Christopher
    Some days ago I encounter your web-site, I had a very big problem with a giant blister (I think that is what it was), I bought the papaya end ate it and put it on my face, two hours later I start feeling a big relief. Now my face is clear, some little red spots, but they are going away.
    I am trying the garlic and cilantro in good amounts.
    I tank God for directing me to your site.
    I thank you for your good will and effort to serve.
