Since establishing this blog several years ago, I have focused much of my energy on attacking the two major pseudosciences of religion and alternatives to medicine. Click on the link below for an interesting video on the history of the latter. Ironically, many religious folks will shake their heads and say how silly were those practices. The reality: both are silly and harmful to the informed today.
"Modern medicine has seen more development in the past 50 years than in all of human history combined. Many long-practiced medical treatments now seem completely bizarre in retrospect - things like putting animal dung on a wound, drinking urine, carving holes in your skull, or drinking medicinal potions made of morphine or mercury. But which practices are considered the most peculiar from all of human medical history? Which practices were once used as medicinal treatments only to be later found incredibly dangerous?"
