Heyes, April 24 2014 (NaturalNews) In early April, President Obama wasted no time in taking a victory lap of sorts regarding the alleged success of his signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act.
According to the president, the magic number of 7 million enrollees had finally been reached, six months after the rocky roll-out of the online federal health exchange that was established by the law. Actually, the president said, the number was closer to 7.1 million, and the country was told that the bulk of...

Heyes, April 22 2014 (NaturalNews) Prior to World War I, nearly all psychiatrists worked in mental institutions, where they dealt with the committed and insane. But they were really just caretakers; they didn't cure anyone. In fact, in those institutions, the "inmates" were very often subjected to cruel and inhumane psychiatric experimentation, and much of it was inflicted upon them to keep them quiet, not make them better.
When the Great War broke out, psychiatry made its first foray into the military. For example...
