This post is more a collection of various bits and pieces I have discovered on the internet over the last week, each link could warrant a whole blog post of it’s own but I don’t have time, so I’ll simply draw your attention to the links and if you want to follow them up feel free.

If you know of any other science/medical events happening, let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

Very informative post with several useful suggestions! I can’t say that I completely agree with all you have written here, but there are many relevant ideas you have emphasized that can be rather useful on natural health and related topics. Definitely keep providing more suggestions on this topic and associated matters, as there are quite a few folks who are working to evaluate the ups and downs.
