Someone is out there sowing the seeds of destruction and you´ll be reaping the lethal harvest!!
Dr. Catharine Jacobs had it all -- professional acclaim, a great man in her life, and, best of all, an exciting new job with Advento Biotech, Australia’s largest biotechnology company. And then suddenly it all started changing. Five year old Debbie’s death assumed a new dimension as a pseudo-palsy epidemic broke out overseas.
