This water would probably pull relatively concentrated salts below their physiologically safe level (e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium), making it not useful for leeching out toxic stuff which is usually at a very low concentration. In other

Mitochondrial diseases don't seem like an easy target because they are really metabolic and homeostatic disorders, which are very complex. If the main failure of mitochondrial disorders were a lack of energy production, how could cance

Let's say that you pulled this off for four years (as the actual student). What is stopping you from telling Harvard that you actually did the work and hoping they recognize your effort by giving you a diploma instead of the guy who wa

Would private research have ever discovered the structure of DNA? And why? How do you defend this R&D project to your board of directors in the early 1950's? What does the ROI calculation look like? Companies are good at research w
