    I have conducted that this site is not trustworthy of its way of citing other websites and the number of reviews they are getting towards its product. Although they have many well-known sponsors on their web, we cannot trust this since anybody could add random famous logos onto their web page(just like above). Also, as for the hospital that they had said that they gave supplies to in Japan when the nucleus disaster happened, it is a religious hospital that is all over Japan which would only accept the people believing in that religion meaning it would not be able to help any of the people that is really in need, if there was ever.
