I had Dr Igudia cured Herpes for me about a year ago. My experience was wonderful. Dr Igudia was very open and caring. I felt a sincere connection with him. I got the impression that he wasn’t just doing a job, but truly liked to help people and help them solve their Herpes problems
I've had these symptoms for over a month now, im fainting snd vomiting from coughing all night, my ribs are killing me and have taken time off work. My doctor absolutely refuses to prescribe antibiotics for it saying its "just a cold"..
This is a man made weapon they're clearly producing more powerful viruses and they drop them in Chemtrails. Gonna be a lot of dead people soon.

i teach new providers very often that purple rashes often = bad, not always, as its not aperfect science, but purpura can be much more indicitive of something possible lethal. Pink rashes asre most often self-limiting or benign, but the patient presentation comes first. something simple to us as scarlet fever killed millions in the 1800's
