The pharmaceutical business recently offered customers a new service – purchase of drugs on credit. Will this service be in demand among the population? The pharmaceutical market itself believes that lending can provide up to 10% of extra profit per year.

Dr. Janson on Alternative Medicine: Response to the New England Journal of Medicine

Free radicals disrupt the normal production of DNA, the genetic material, and…
