16. The OP Has a History

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=795074&mesg_id=795074, read it and weep. As a disabled person, I'm supportive of preventive research. However, more money needs to go to adaptation and education towards acceptance of persons with disabilities, because we'll always be here as long as humans exist...just like we need to combat racism and homophobia. What the OP offers isn't a cure...but for most disabled persons a cure is not what we need nor want, we just want a foot in the door to regular society. We're already here, whether it's by birth, illness or injury.

And I'll risk getting juried here, the OP is selling minerals without a bona fide medical study or testing.
