Homeopathy Is About To Be Regulated Out Of Existence, But Science Just Got In The Way
The fundamental problem we are dealing with is that small population testing protocols are proving to often be untrustworthy in both directions.

As it turns out, nano therapy often works quite well as the body makes use of what is available successfully. In the second case the original formulation is plausibly assembled in the distant past through inspiration or channeling an... more »
