Opps. Sorry I got the wrong “not to be feared” government entity. They’re here to help only.

This is good news. I suffer from this and have had 2 fusions where they took bone out of my hip. The hip hurt more than anything afer the surgery.

The important thing is that the technology has been invented. Even if the gov’t prevents its use, the technology can be used after the gov’t has been “corrected”.
