People from the past believe radioactive element can fix your health.
What a fascinating news article. Hey, hereβs fun: the same kind of marketers, advertisers and journalists who who placed this ad now direct most of the world! Shame about it dying though. Thatβs tough.
Did they just straight up falsify these results? I thought low RBC count was a common side effect of radiation therapy for cancer. Although I have no idea if radium emits the same type of radiation as radiation therapy.

It is amazing how many people fail at this basal logic even in the present era. There are entire political parties that exist in this cognitive void. Perhaps this radical enlightenment was an attempt by evolution to remedy humanity's limiting cognitive orbits
