225. First an idea is laughed at, then it is studied, then it is accepted as truth

...or something to that effect. Doctors were mocked when they first discovered that washing their hands reduced the death rate of their patients.

All crackpot theories formerly debunked ... now in popular use and paid for or recommended by AMA approved health insurance.

Believe me, as this atrocious health care system of big medicine, big pharma, big costs continue, people will start to do what they've done for years...figure out there is little we need the above for ...until we're in an accident, sick, need some diseased organ cut out or dying. I believe it has its place...just not the only place.

Those staggering statistics of iatrogenic deaths are scandalous and mostly unnecessary...and your health care premiums and taxes pay for it.
