Rant mode: on. (prepare to scroll if this topic does not interest you)

I intended to post something on Frankincense oil for skin cancers. I thought I would do a search to see if there is anything behind it. I previously used it on a spot on my head, which cleared right up. I have no idea what that spot was.

Here is the rant. I used Duck Duck Go to search. I think many or most, if not all, search sites use the google engine to get results. Maybe they don't track, as they promise. But that is not the issue.

All the google results point only to mainstream sources that claim frankincense oil (FO) doesn't work. Because, of course, there are no double-blind clinical trials. So it can't work.

But try a search engine like Yandex.com and you get links to many papers testing FO on cells that show anti-cancer properties.

Here is the issue for all humanity. Google only returns the ITEMS IT WANTS YOU TO SEE. And since almost all searches use Google of some sort -- All users get heavily filtered results. These filters are ubiquitous, aggressive and pernicious. It amounts to intellectual tyranny. There can be no alternative explanation or view; no dissenting opinion.

Google users go through life wearing glasses with the heavy filters used to look at a total eclipse. What you get back is so highly filtered it's ultimately distorted. Since most of the population happily uses Google this a a serious problem for society. And nobody seems to mind!!!!!

Anyone with a modicum of intellectual curiosity needs a better search tool. Yandex is certainly better.

Does anybody here know of search engines that return unfiltered results? Please list them if you have them. Thanks. Rant: off.
