Origin of Claim
FULL TEXT OF CLAIM
Good Afternoon. Super News…It arrived and I send it. Virus cure was achieved. From Israel blessed by God the virus does not cause concern…
*The recipe is simple*
1. Lemon
2. Bicarbonate
Mix and drink as hot tea every afternoon, the action of the lemon with the hotter bicarbonate immediately kills the virus, eliminates it completely from the body. These two components alkaline the immune system, since when night falls the system becomes acidic and defences lower. That is why the people of Israel is relaxed about the virus. Everyone in Israel drinks a cup of hot water with a little baking soda at night, as this is proven to kill the virus. I share it with all my family and friends so that none of us get the virus. I leave it to your criteria.
