You are using the term "homeopathy", which includes osteopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments, and other "holistic" areas of treatment. Homeopathy is a very broad area, and some of it isn't just pseudoscience

Sure, that will do a CoW copy, but it's not actually the same effect at all, is it? In other words, writing to the copy will not propagate the writes to the original. (or am I wrong on that) Besides, won't this walk and copy the e

I certainly understand that reaction, but I don't think it's crazy. I just joined one. My primary care physician recommended it. It's about 28% the cost of the regulated ACA plans in my area for my size family. Read that numb

Stature or size of teeth is really not a good measurement, especially to declare a new species! Humans come in various shapes and sizes. In fact, given that the remains were found in a sinkhole, small stature might have something to do with
