Naked mole rats are more closely related to guinea pigs than moles or rats! Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865) a Hungarian obstetrician, discovered that handwashing was vital to a person's health, well before the germ discoveries of Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur. He was met with hostility from his medical superiors, committed to an asylum, and died of an infection. $! In 2011, a company produced a $100,000 hand razor with blades made of sapphire and a handle made of iridium!

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Look how many doctors have been put in prison or run out of business by the FDA because they have treatments that may cure cancer or heart decease? There is still much prejudice against chiropractors and acupuncture. The FDA thinks the only answers are drugs and the knife. We should remember that if it was not for new ideas, we would stil be going to witch doctors!
