Damn. That makes me mad.
It makes me mad because I know for a fact that you don't know shit about ESSIAC or any of the other things talked about here.
You didn't look at its history, or composition, or the people who claim they have been helped by it.
All you did was basically say "If they don't teach it in med school - it doesn't exist".
Now go back and think about the hundred billion dollar Linus Pauling question.
Why do you suppose some things done make it to your text books?
Without knowing shit about something, you're not even open to the idea that it might help people.
