I already stated its ongoing. 10 years is accepted to hold validity unless iyts without doubt in double blind testing

What an awful and terrible accusation/assumption
How dare you question how I impliment best practice, and no, I havent Ever had feeback that tells me I helped make someone ill
and I do measure what I do

And..I havent actually tried to one-up or insult you on here like that. You are insulting me by theat last condescending remark
I do have scruples and respect your position on medication because I think what you say IS right and Valid for some people and would always support that too

the good thing about ageing is that your eye sight deteriorates so you can't see your laughter lines...

Just stay away from magnifying mirrors

Yes, Mother Nature is very kind, she gives you wrinkles but compensates for that by taking your fine vision so that you can't see them anymore.
