Recently I've traveled next to a person who were apparently studying pseudomedicine while discussing with a friend. She was studying, or rather memorizing, some utter bullshit. She already started practicing too, though she wasn't planning to use homeopathy, because she was afraid to. She complained that her boyfriend (?) didn't take all the supplements she's prescribing him. In her own health problems she stopped taking real medicine already. She also discussed their common friends, making comments related to their Chinese zodiac horoscopes.
No, I'm not going to have an open mind in these matters. And I'm definitely going to speak up when I see that some asshole scammers are making money by creating pseudouniversities and teaching people bullshit.

- It shows "[INT] [NAME]" where INT = vote count. Higher count is probably more read-worthy?
