Sounds like a possible anti-inflammatory or astringent to me. Not just that Cambodian entry as the Fiji eye inflammation treatment.

That's the Unix Epoch.
It's an atheist thing.
There are plenty of devices which draw blood or fluids via suction. One example is the GlucoWatch:

The problem with these devices is that they often cause skin lesions, bruising, and pain. I would rather stick with the needles.
When you're sick with an incurable or hard to cure disease you try every stupid thing you can think about to get better. At worst this "whole foods" scam will have negligible negative health impact so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people tried it out just for the heck of it.
No, it wasn't useful. Promoting bullshit pseudo-science "cures" is not useful, it's vile and immoral.
The extra ground clearance also makes the car more prone to rollover as the center of mass of the vehicle is located higher.
HPV Vaccine? Just what is going on at these schools anyway...
The same thing that has always gone on. Kids have sex, and the HPV vaccine means that they are protected from a pretty nasty cancer.
According to the CDC, they are 93% effective http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vp...
That's pretty fucking close to 100%.
Fine. Pay for a private school which accepts unvaccinated children or home school them.

What a delightful little oxymoron.
You may find your black and white ideological extremism comforting, but in the real world, where real people live, collisions of liberties means there are no absolutes. In general terms, your freedom of action ends at the tip of my nose, so your liberties are not absolute.
Children have the same fundamental liberties as their parents, but are not deemed to have the emotional or cognitive maturity to exercise those liberties responsibly. The child's guardians is thus given considerable legal and moral authority over the child, but that authority is not absolute, because to make it absolute would essentially render the child's liberties null and void. And thus the courts can force a child to have life-saving procedure like a blood transfusion despite the protestation's of the child's guardian.
Surely quarantine laws must still be on the books.
There is a metric ton worth of court rulings that demonstrate that the courts do not recognize that parents have unlimited power over their children's medical needs. Ask any Jehovah's Witness whose minor child needs a blood transfusion. No liberty is absolute, and certainly not the somewhat nebulous semi-liberty of parents to make medical decisions for their children.
This is how you deregulate the energy market: you don't. It always turns into a cartel anyway.
