So aspirin isn’t essentially willow bark?

Perhaps you can find someone who wants to spend a billion dollars to push some of these things through the govt bureaucracy? Or you could look to the millions of people they’ve helped.

Well, the modern scientific method seems to involve starting with a conclusion that will earn one a large research grant from government or industry, working one's way backwards to manufacture evidence and falsify data as needed, excluding contradictory results from your reports, and threatening to jail your opponents as "deniers."

How'd I do? :)
