    Sorry my computer started speaking my response and messed up the written content and I could not stop/ fix it.
    Yes, other places have banned black salve. But 10,000 users would have testified as to Caton's product's efficacy, if allowed, at trial, myself included.

    One of my favorite ads was an explanation of its use in animals, as it was banned in Australia for human use. The article went on and on, down to instructions for animal use. At the end it stated that the product was definitely not for human use but if it were, the instructions would be the same.
    I understand that it is banned as it has not been sanctioned by the FDA. But the testing required is prohibitively expensive for a product that cannot be patented and only has four main ingredients that can be easily had by anyone.

    I do research on medical stuff when needed. Doctors hate that...they can bite me. I do not need five pages of what a medicine could do to me with every prescription. My doctor Wynn agrees..whatever a medicine takes from you...pain or etc...it can and will give you something else- depending on how long you have to take it.

    Are you saying CNN is government approved propaganda? I thought that was Fox and OAN? Color me corrected. Like researching for a paper, the best strategy is to use more than one source. I highly suggest you do the same when gathering news. Even consider sources such as the BBC for US news.

    No... peer-reviewed articles are in journals--many medical or academic journals. Research is not just a couple of people in a lab poking at rats. It is collaborative studies in labs and in reviewing and dissecting others research and conclusions. I edited a dental article once that was disagreeing with an research article about a procedure and laid out the calculations and equations as to why the procedure would not work. Research is a lot of math, logic, interpretation, and poking at rats in labs. It is also testing drugs on cells in Petri dishes and monitoring and reporting the data.
    Pharmaceutical companies develop drugs based on research, but they do not do the research. Those are two different beasts. Something you are not considering as far as not curing is that doctors prescribe drugs, not the drug companies. There are also diseases that researchers have not been able to find a cure for--cancer, AIDS, diabetes, etc., but they do have drugs to battle and/or contain them. If people were perfect and could solve all your problems, they would be Gods.

    Are you under the impression that the president is the government? For that matter, do you really believe that Fox News is pro-Trump, or even that Trump is conservative? If so, you need to take your own advice and quit restricting your "research" to CNN and MSNBC. Watching the news on television or reading a newspaper is pretty poor form of research, anyhow.

    You can not do research from the main street medial because they are all controlled by six groups who do not have your interest. Like they all claimed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq but there was not Trump and Russian collusion and there was not Syria gassed its own people CNN&, MSNBC said they were not allowed to go there but OAN when there and interviewed the people there and even talked to the doctors only to find it was all BS.
    Peer reviewed in medicine is a joke even the retired editor of Lancet which is one of the top medical journals said over half are fraudulent. As far as cures the medical system stopped making cures in the 1950 and now the manage, control,and treat disease. Why do ND have their patents become free of type two diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis. Because the cure people but the FDA has co op the word cure and they can not use it.

    Particularly given the misspelling of kindness, it's clear that indoctrination - not education - is the focus of this elementary school classroom.

    This is a school, and it's not a hastily scrawled note.

    I wonder how many parents made a stink about the sign in the administrative office without even noticing the misspelling of kindness.

    About the Common Core studies in the schools, I threw my hands up when I helped my grandson with his math (old school) and the answers were correct but he received a low grade because the work wasn't done the 'common core' way. To me, simple math was made out to be like algebra with this 'common core' teaching. I hate to think about English, Social Studies, etc. and how they were conformed to fit the common core curriculum.
    Ha, say that three times fast.

    I understand that. I continually seem misspelling by folks with journalism degrees, those who make their living with words.

    Proof is everywhere. My wife has always pointed out that commercial have misspelled words in their ads and on their signs for the world to see. Bad examples are at every corner.

    And then there is the unstable tablet I'm using.

    A restaurant near where I lived once put up professionally made metal signs on each of their parking spaces that read PARCKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY. There were about twenty of them but no one even noticed or cared about the spelling.

    It all falls on the proofreader if there is one:rolleyes:. Then if the printing company made the mistake - customer gets partial or full refund and keeps the signs, - well, why not? It's a win/win situation. The public doesn't have anything to say about how they handle their business unless it affects them personally.

    The best teacher can't prepare a student in one semester to pass an AP class (I am cert. to teach Spanish) if the student doesn't even know how to write in his/her own language. Yes, I had students in the 3rd / 4th HS year who wrote English at the first grade level.
    When I asked "What happened in grade school>" the answer -always- was" "They were promoted to the next level."
    Did you ask yourself "why"?
