Punarbhava Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Amazing how such a truth, written so long ago, can still be ignored. The blindness, ignorance and arrogance of the so-called "healing" profession regularly violates their Hypocratic Oath "To Do No Harm". I find it shocking that they can comfortably attempt to alter the sacred biological functionings of the human brain and body, with toxic chemicals and consider it a form of "healing".
