Hi : Research has been privatized. University research is funded and the universities don't want to upset the companies providing the funding. Let me give an example. A first year student conducted an experiment with azomite and paramagnetic rock, comparing them together with each other and alone separately with control samples. You can learn more about it at: http://www.earthplusproducts.com/ In a side experiment a research assistant compared the university's suggested turf grass treatment with the combination of azomite and paramagnetic rock. The results in this experiment showed the azomite/paramagnetic rock combination produced superior results compared to the university's suggested turf grass treatment. Interestingly, the local PBS came to the university and did a story on this young man's experiments, including the side experiment conducted by the research assistant. After the program was shown, the research assistant lost his position as a research assistant for conducting an experiment that was not approved by the university and for conducting an experiment that embarressed the university. The university conducted no further investigation of the experiment and continued with the same turf grass recommendation. Governments are funded because politicians need to raise money for their expensive campaigns. When elected, they don't forget where the money came from, and it didn't come from the poor people. Please give an example of a study that shows a certain food is effective in treating a certain disease. Chi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
