But that's the point that was alluded in previous comments. If its "working" even if its no better than dextrose and magnesium stearate then why spring it upon them that it isn't. That sound sort of cruel too. 30% of drugs will "work" even if it is a placebo.Now, if you want to say well it will rot them with SJS and all that, fair game -- have the psychiatrist give sugar samples.
