The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • Turmeric will cure you!

    Excuse the language, but will it f***!

    In the 4 and a bit years I've been at this, I have lost track of the number of times I've heard the above, been linked to the above, been given articles cut out from magazines on the above. Then there's all the other things that fall into this same vein that amount to 'if you just did x, then you'll be cured.' Trying to think over them all, I've definitely had the following; If…

  • Cancer; causes, cures, and cakes.
