ABOUT CURES THAT DIDN'T & DON'T.
MEDICAL QUACKERY IN ALL OF ITS QUESTIONABLE GLORY!

ABOUT ME
- QuackMD
- I got my BA from Boston College and married the woman of my dreams a week after graduation; we've been married for 40 wonderful years. I grew up with pine trees in my backyard; now I have banana trees. Nonetheless, my first love is quaint, beautiful, historic New England. You can still find little pockets of it hidden from development, but I just close my eyes and it's always there.
