The Indian government is requiring manufacturers of homoeopathic medicines to adhere to manufacturing norms. As it appears that the vast majority of them are currently unable to do this the authorities in West bengal have given them an extension until the 31st of March. If they are unable to...

Behold, the International Truth Movement's 2008 Declaration: Standards and Strategies for 9/11 Truth! Lots more at the link, including the "Go ahead and believe this if you wanna but shaddup in public about it" list of unapproved CTs. See if your fav made the list!

Supplement companies whine and whine about wanting more research done, cuz researchers only work for big pharma doncha know. So, research is done, but since it doesn't show what they want, they go to great lengths to prevent its publication. It's this kind of double standard (only favourable...

Just an interesting and depressing note. I was looking at our state (California) DMV (motor vehicles) physical exam form that people need to pass to drive in a civil service capacity. What caught my eye for the first time was the section where I had to check what kind of practitioner I was...

Who gets automatic citizenship in israel? "Israel shall give citizenship to all those who are ethnically jews, and can prove their jewishness in terms of their habits, language, and culture..." So much for automatic citizenship. What about applications for citizenship? Who is not allowed to...

Is Education now segregating those that can, from those that can't? While concentrating mainly on those that can, and letting those that can't, muddle through with little to no support in order to fulfil set quotas. Has it now become a priority for all parents to ensure, that their children...
