  Testimony from a patient having toothaches

  All of my life I have not experience tooth ache but June last year, I started having tooth ache. It was so severe that my jaw was swollen and  people asked me to remove the tooth. That day immediately. Guess what, I used ginger water. It was just like a magic, I did not see d pains again, even d swollen cheek came down and I am still surprise till today. Do I really thank God. I also thank Dr for selfless service to humanity. May God bless you.
