Thank you Dawn. Very sound reasoning.

I did the marketing campaign for Rogaine. It grew hair for balding men. The percentage of success was in the low 20's. At least at that time a product did not need to work even one in four times to pass the FDA. The placebo group had a 17% success rate. I remember thinking at the time that the R&D money should be spent on the placebo effect and not more drugs.

Interesting tweet from Dr David Cartland, Penzance:

"People are realising the reasons for their chronic ill health. The sudden cancer in their friends and family. The blood clot that killed their nephew. The stroke in their 30 year old sister. And the reasons to the likely cause of their spouses and families premature death!!

NHS staff…….You can run but you cannot hide!! Time is short do the right thing I implore and beg you!!! National health service or national wealth service???"
