What should you know about ‘Autoimmune Disorders? – By Dr harold Gunatillake When the body becomes its own enemy, our immune system instead of stopping foreign invaders from harming the body, makes the body the enemy and causes harm instead. So in Autoimmune disorders, the enemy is within your body.

Dansala’s -way side street cooked food stalls – By Dr harold Gunatillake Buddha. Feeding poor people is one of the duties of a Buddhist.
