Amazed anyone gave a crap enough to write about it

This 'research' was sponsored by a drug company. There is a vested interest here. Anyway what people put in their own bodies is their business. The internet has liberated medicine and I have used it a lot. If you take care and use a good on-line pharmacy then that all to the good and the risks are minimal.
