Where is the chiropractor promising to cure your cancer in polynomial time?! :Don't tell me this stuff is unpopular because it's complicated!

In the halls of quackery :We will not rest until error correction algorithms are said to detoxify your chakra/ we will not tire until there's a urine-cleansing tea called ptimeanda homeopathic urine-receptacle called pspace! :We will not stop until there is a magic crystal you put up your butt to make your microbiome turing-complete/ :We could join the physicists and sell "quantum error correction" tablets. :Chooseaside/
