Dr. James Lind was trying to convince the medical establishment of this simple cure and in doing so he saved millions of lives from dying of the gum bleeding and heart attack inducing disease.

In a time of rampant death among sailors, he observed that a single teaspoon of lemon juice daily would STOP scurvy in its tracks. Yet after been ridiculed by his peers, he was then ignored for 40 years.

Why? Because the establishment are sheep and they'd rather let people die than admit they were wrong (sadly this echoes true today too..see video below)..

There are a number of Sacred Cows today that are killing people, but we cannot even talk about them without being attacked and ridiculed - just like Dr Lind was too..
