Cascading Problems

Doctor Howard Glicksman explains the cascading problems in our body. If you solve one problem, then you have another, and another, all at once. You need oxygen, hence a respiratory system. But the oxygen doesn’t dissolve well, so you need hemoglobin. But that requires kidney cells to control them, and on and on. Who’s managing the red blood cells!? Glicksman Read More ›
