Anyone else amused by the ad for LiquiSlim " anti- > cellulite slimming drops " with an anorexic looking girl? Granted I > think she is pretty cute, but I have a hard time thinking that she > would really benefit from such a product... if it truly works. **************************** i was wondering if i was the only one who wanted to comment on that. i keep getting that ad and its getting on my nerves..lol vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I never see the ads because when I get to them I quickly back click and then reclick on the " next " button. That takes you past the ad straight to the msg without seeing it. They never have a chance to load onto my screen. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I was looking up something the other day on the Internet at the Democrat and Chronicle website and I clicked on Henrietta and on the right side was this ad with all these happy people standing around and above it read: " Volunteers Needed for Investigational Flu Vaccine Research Study. Earn $520 If you are in good health and between the ages of 18 and 35 Please call 273-3990 " . I am assuming it is 585 area code. I am tempted to call and ask if they have ever been sued from any of these or if they make you sign a waver first so they don't and how harmful this is Because if you are in good health before, you certainly won't be after! Maybe I will call and just inquire first, anyone else want to? Website is www.Democratandchronicle.com and it is in Rochester, NY. Not sure if they change the ads daily but it was there on Wednesday.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 The authorities already know what the results will be. They have to hire people to make the research look respectable.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I've seen papers that are given to recipients for IND's in the past. Surprisingly, they are pretty straight forward and list what is or is not known in black and white. (at least this one was) - whether or not the recipient reads it is another story. Typically who fall for this are those that need the money. What I always find curious is that these trials are done in " healthy individuals " - which again is why you can see something be pulled from the market after it's approved. This does not take into account those whom are not healthy, to include those ill at the time of taking the drug, those with underlying genetic conditions, or those with any type of auto-immune disorder (many other factors that are missing in this small list). With as big of population that the US has of unhealthy individuals, (to include those on some form of current medication) any trial that is done is a farce - as it doesn't represent the majority. (IMHO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Don't be fooled by these so called researchers. If a trial is done with the purpose of approving something, it gets approved.
