Granny's "Happy New Year's" medical post!

[Storm Crow]

Granny's Update- Yep! I'm at it again!

By now, hopefully, a number of you have made a copy of my Birthday post and stored it on Word or something. On my own copy, I have added over 100 new studies and I want you to have them too! I'm going to give the heading the new abstract fits under, the title and the URL. Then you can cut and paste them into your copy. Nothing like having a mess of "Granny's" out there, each with their own copy! (The *s were to keep track of new posts.)
