This is just a sampling of the medical advice dished up by HealthBase, a new semantic search engine evidently released into public beta prematurely. As TechCrunch reported last week, HealthBase drew some minor controversy for listing "Jew" as a cause of AIDS. Treatments include "Arab", "gene", alcohol and coarse salt. In an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks, "Pros of Jew" include "endorse extrinsic religiosity" and "facilitate Americanization", while cons include "enemy", "plague" and "kill Christian". On a more paradoxical note, the causes include "Nazi" and "Hitler".
