Stupid and evil collide again: [Missouri State Rep.

And totally useless. > She allegedly made $191,815 for giving the injections to people with tissue damage, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Lyme disease, erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. However, the injection was allegedly merely amniotic fluid purchased from the University of Utah. It didn’t contain stem cells nor does amniotic fluid cure any of the aforementioned conditions. Yes, she is a Republican. I’m sure a big ‘law and order’ and ‘family values’ thumper. ---
