The Fastest Growing Religion on Earth
Chapter 27
In 1823, an 18-year-old boy from Palmyra, New York, was visited by an angel, who told him of some magical gold plates. Armed with special glasses, he was able to translate them into a book that told about how the lost tribe of Israel was visited [...]
During my residency days Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), paroxetine (Paxil), fluvoxamine (Luvox), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft), were pushed as being better than older drugs like imipramine, since they specifically acted on the serotonin transporter, and therefore didn’t have many of the side effects that were said to result from [...]

“Sure mommy, what do you want to talk about?”
“I don’t know, Johnny.”

On June 20, 2009, [...]
The Physicians for Human Rights group has issued a report stating that physicians and psychologists working for the CIA conducted research on torture techniques used on prisoners as part of the “war on terror,” including waterboarding, sleep deprevation, and forced knee bend positions (didn’t you hate doing knee bends when you were in grade [...]
