Re: general health

If yo can locate raw goat milk you can make kefir ,the drink8=10 oz. every day. It will do wonders for you. If thats not your thing, try green tea,two,or four cups a day . Your body needs fluids and these are a good start. good luck. :D :D :D :D :D :mrgreen:

Re: Django

If ya'll like Django, you may want to check out "Mandingo" ,good movie regarding selective breeding and plantation life during the 1840's,Louisianna. Cn be difficult to find as it's not PC by todays standards.
