Fungi are single or multi-celled organisms that break down organic materials, such as rotting wood, in order to absorb their nutrients. Neither plant nor animal, they range from mushrooms to single-celled yeast.

Scientists were investigating organic chemicals trapped in an Italian sedimentary rock formation when they found evidence that an extinct fungus feasted on dead wood during a time when the world’s forests had been catastrophically eradicated.[1] What could have caused such a universal effect on forests, and why does organic material remain in rocks that are supposedly 251.4 million years old?...

You mean it really should be "Lesslie"? On the other hand, if you weren't misogynistic the gender confusion wouldn't have matter to you.

Well, seeing how you are perfectly ok with misrepresenting yourself as the author of other people’s hard work, why stop your dishonest misrepresentations there?

Jeez, can't a fella catch a break? Your promise to ignore me was as disingenuous ans all of your other posts.

I generally don’t read anything longer than one sentence by you. That is because I know you are sorely tempted to plagiarize any reply beyond one sentence.

As usual, or more precisely, as each additional comment is more stellar than the previous gem, I am continiously and without pause always bedazzled by your unique,...ah..brilliance.

Simple botanicals can cure and more importantly, prevent apendicitus.

You're kidding....right? Rhetorical question. You're just passing on extremely dangerous claims and I'm not surprised. How EXACTLY does a plant extract clear a blockage of the appendiceal lumen?

How does a botanical prove to be effective at preventing something? You don't get that something? Wow, that's easier than having to prove it to the FDA.

Is THIS how they dupe people? "I took dried monkey bung powder in my coffee every day and I never got the gout...so monkey bung powder must be a preventer of gout!!"

There's a reason why the People live longer....it's because they stopped listening to cure-all elixir salesmen and started listening to medical professionals.
