by Unknown in , 29

Happy New Year! I'm pleased to share our monthly bulletin, which provides a summary of activities & accomplishments for the department of Information Technology Services over the last month.

  • Helped Communications and Marketing to install a digital sign in the Madera Hall lobby.  This new sign is an example of the new Digital Signage system piloted in the Fall.

  1. My Herpes Virus started in my early twenties. I noticed a few days after breaking up with my Ex, Who was never faithful, I always had some blisters around my Genital area and some Cold sores on my lips. It was mild at first but began to worsen as I got older. By the time I was in my mid-twenties, I was taking acyclovir and valtrex every night before I went to bed. The pain was unbearable but nothing I tried seemed to make it go away. I was a little stubborn but eventually I went on the internet to do research on how I could possibly get rid of this virus on Dr. Mecoya Blog, Where i came Across a herbal doctor who has helped so many people of HSV with natural Medicine. I reached out to him ASAP and we spoke and I let him know my problem, which he promised to help deal with. Dr Razor told me that I had Contracted Type 1&2 of Herpes Simplex Virus. He told me it was treatable with Natural Medicine. A Few days after I had spoken with Dr Razor, He sent me a product or herbal medicine and gave me instructions on How to Go about it . Much to my amazement the Herbal Medicine actually got rid of my HSV 1/2. Not all Herbal Doctors Online are Scammers, Some are genuine like DR RAZOR . Contact him on his clinic Email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com
    Whatsapp/Call him Directly Through +2349065420442
