I wasn't taught *what* to think.  I was taught *how* to think.  There
is a big difference.  I have pointed out to you that demonstrating the
fundamental flaws in the "cell salt" theory is not a matter of "thinking
for oneself."  It is a matter of *doing an experiment* the results of
which are not open to dispute.

You don't know *anything* about science, by your own admission.  You have
no way of knowing whether the science I have been taught is "corrupted"
or not.

Unlike you, I have actually gone into a lab and done experiments.  If the 
atomic theory is wrong, and if classical physics is not a reasonable 
approximation for calculating the motions of bodies traveling at
velocities 
that are low relative to the speed of light, then none of the results of
the 
experiments that I did for my Ph. D. can be made to make any sense.  If 
quantum mechanics is wrong, then none of results of the experiments I did 
for my postdoc (and in my lab at Bar-Ilan) make any sense.

Unlike you, I know something about chemistry, and I can explain what
happens
when something burns.  I know the difference between "oxidation" and 
"reduction" and that the oxidation states of elements as they are found
within
the body is not necessarily the same as those of elements as they are
found
in the remains of a body that has been burned.  For example, the mechanism
by which hemoglobin works is fairly well understood, and it depends on the
iron atoms in the heme groups being in the reduced state. 
"Methemoglobin,"
which contains iron in the ferric state, cannot trans****t oxygen.

How could they do that?  How have they succeeded in suppressing, say, you?
