Educating the public by demystifying science and medical doctoring likely comes at a cost.

I really enjoyed reading this.

Thank you

I was in Mexico 50 years ago on an extended camper van vacation. Far from any medical facility, I got stung by a sting ray on the fat part of my palm. Fat is leaking from the wound and my arm is swelling to my elbow. They brought me to “the guy who treats these things”.

Garlic. Yep. He had me eat it, and he wiped it all over my wound.

Obviously it worked. Wink wink, because I’m here today to tell my tale.
