Angry Bear applauds this action by the Library of Congress. It was not that long ago, the US Library of Congress selected Angry Bear to archive its posts and notifying us on May 19, 2019. It...

A followup to an article I had read and previous findings. Not the first time, a drug or drug combination has been disapproved. This usually comes from a lack of supporting evidence coming from clinical trials. Instead there are various studies conducted which show varying degrees of results which may have questionable data.
