The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

What's the Harm? Natural Cures and Other Nonsense! Fucking Death is the Harm!!!!!

OK, I readily admit I'm in a ticked-off mood. Hence, the bad words! Really, folks, this whole so-called alternative medicine crap at times is just too much. IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!!!! Period!

And, it seems no one cares. I'm somewhat battling with our (Virginia) board of medicine about the bullshit stuff chiropractors do. The example I'm using with the BOM is the so-called detox foot baths. Yes, the chiropractors claim they can stick your feet in a metal pan, start an electronic gizmo, and it will suck the toxins out of your body. How? Of course, out THROUGH YOUR FEET!!! And, it seems the BOM just doesn't give a shit!

A thirteen-year-old boy is dead because of being treated using herbs and not using regular medicine. Morrow is the quack who caused his death.

"Morrow, who described on his website how the voice of God led him to start using herbs for his prostate cancer, began treating the boy's Type 1 diabetes with herbs after meeting his mother at seminars Morrow conducted, City Attorney Mike Feuer said.
When the boy became sick and semi-comatose in August 2014, Morrow told the parents not to give the boy insulin, but to use herbal oils he was selling, Feuer said.
The boy identified in court papers as Edgar L. died the next day. The medical examiner determined the boy would have survived if he received proper medical care."  Quote from CBS news report.

Here's the link to the CBS article.

Here's a list of children who were killed because of religion and/or so-called alternative medicine. And, some of you may wonder why I say religion is one of the greatest evils! Besides poisoning minds, it kills children.
