    TYPHOID CURE Typhoid affects sleep a lot. When I had it, I ate garlic in the morning and during the day, you can use it before brushing in the morning. If you can't eat garlic, you can get pineapple peels, lemon grass, and lime, boil them together and drink. Meet aboki for pineapple peels, you can buy one small pineapple because some of them won't want to give you for free. Lemon grass can be gotten from the market, just ask people around in the market. You will thank me for telling you this.

    MIGRAINE SOLUTION If you have migraine, a pain in one side of your head. It even affects your sleep and you don't sleep well, you even feel head pain when using your phone and chest pain. Buy grape fruit, like 12 of it (the big type that is like orange) but it's bigger than orange. Squeeze the grape into hot water and put the grape itself inside the pot too, add more water and drink like 2 hours before you go to bed and maybe during the day. Eat your dinner before 7pm and drink it after dinner. Drink it for like 20 days or more. Stop going to the hospital wasting money, do what I have said. You will thank me for telling you this.
