Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Last week was busy and just trying to get caught up. Nothing much new, the Minot Daily is still putting advertisements hawking miracle cures, health food stores still selling stuff with little if any evidence of anything they sell working, a quack working in Minot selling bogus cures and the like. The quack used to be a good doc from what I understand. He also sells homeopathy to patients in treating and possibly curing their diabetes. This is pure quackology and dangerous for those that buy into it. Diabetes will lead to blindness, heart disease, kidney disease, and loss of extremities. Homeopathy is nothing more than selling false hope to the gullible. This is nothing more than intentional negligence on the part of this quack doc in town. So beware.
Peace

Quote of the Month
March Quote:
Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don't have them, and about howto exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen-or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected. If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. (Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World)
