That is absolutely fantastic. Hopefully more people will find out all these good things besides the wrinkle removing.

My Mom suffered a stroke almost 18 yrs. ago at the age of 60. I have marveled at her ability to function while I remember vividly the ER allowing her to lie there for several hours while the bleed did it's damage. She has always believed that things would get better, though I know they never will. She is now recovering from a fall and here with me. Strokes are horrible. I'm happy to read that there is some hope for those who might experience these crippling, life-altering horror episodes.
