It lasted a long time and he worked it out. This is a stunning revelation that will be even more controversial then all the body of his work to this day. There was an unpublished book that has, many years after his death, been made available. The Red Book. This will perhaps challenge a few [...]
The FDA Wants to Declare Electroshock Machines Safe Without a Safety Investigation. Take action and tell them no
