FSM has accused what it labels as Australia's "lesser" universities that offer alternative medicine courses of "putting the public at risk".
However, this is a difficult notion to fathom when you compare the tiny number of injuries inflicted on natural medicine patients compared to the hundreds of thousands of deaths recorded each year due to medical errors.

Only legislation can change this. Only fixing the US's broken health system, and broken pharmaceutical patent system can fix this.
Patents are government mandated monopolies. The opposite of free market and competition.

Money, itself is a construct we make. It is worthless by itself. As Alan Watt said, "you can't eat it". It is only worth the trust we put in it. Cryptocurrency is just a different form of money. It doesn't rely on trust in government or banks, but trust in mathematics. Some people trust it. As long as enough people trust it and the technology is still there to access it, it should keep some value. Just like as long as enough people trust in the US dollar it should keep some value.
Buying cash, or gold or cryptocurrency is what people do when they don't trust putting their money anywhere else. Currency doesn't grow like shares, or contribute to the economy, it just may not tank as fast as other assets.

The trouble is that the science around statins is tainted by the sheer amount of money involved. This study is arguing that statins don't have real side effects so people should take more? No bias in that result??

Imagine a world where advertisers can beam ads straight into your ears. Maybe several advertisers at once. I think we'll all require headphones. Noise cancelling headphones.
