The FDA published information in Journal Watch in June of 2011 that is packed with presumptive and incorrect information about breast thermography and they have to know it!

Bringing Medicine to Third World Countries
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
Big pharma uses third world countries to test their drugs on. They do this because it is cheaper and they have far more latitude in taking risks with those people who agree to participating in the clinical trials.

submitted by: admin on 06/18/2016

The scandalous swine flu vaccine is still being promoted by the CDC when it is clear that the vaccine is unproven to be of value, may not be safe, may increase the risk for getting the flu, and that its seriousness is no worse than the common cold.
