HEALTH - CAIRO, EGYPT
- For a better health system for the citizens of the world, drugs (e.g., cocaine, marijuana, and the like) that abnormally affect the senses/nervous system should be extinguished from the face of the earth.
- Snuffs (e.g., cigarettes) which have been determined through research to be dangerous to lungs and health in general should be also extinguished.
- To do one and two above, experty clean, a means like spraying of herbicide, in the atmosphere of the whole earth, which will selectively kill the vegetations of unwanted plantations, should be done very adequately.
- Then, for medical reasons to which ends some of these vegetations could be put, government should take control of their growth strictly, as in minting various national currencies, and dispatch them in form of mixtures (liquids or solids) to medical practitioners.

- Individual personal care should be stressed, like personal attitudes (e.g. , radiation of love from the inner self, abstinence from nursing negative, inhibiting thoughts) and moderate exercises and diet, in which case:
- Government should subsidize the cost of most food items to ensure that balanced diets get to the grassroots level of the citizenry-all over the world.
