Internet miracle cures...

I did it again! Yesterday, a friend of mine sent me a much “recirculated” email touting some unscientific “miracle cure” and while I forewarned a few folks to whom I forwarded the wonderful tip that I had not tried it myself, I ended up with literally eggs on my face by not checking if there was any truth to the approach.

Someone suggested I did and I immediately found out that it was in fact a hoax, that the medical community had long adopted a more efficient, logical and beneficial set of recommendations. This leaves me with a new resolution: Never again will I forward a questionable story like that one without checking the facts first.

This means I'll definitely email out less junk from now on...
