Interesting result...could be for real. Still want to see side effect issue.

And I forget the handle of the Freeper I had been discussing this with previously...well, you got your bump!

Clever approach. Works from both ends at the same time

Metabolic found its drug was most effective on patients who took the lowest dose, 1 mg a day, and Belyea said the company may try an even lower dose in the Phase 3 trials.

that sounds good.........does it mean less side effects or does dosage have nothing to do with side effects?

And once again some charlatan dangles the prospect of having your cake and eating it too in front of John Q. Sucker. There's only one consistently proven way of losing excess body fat - exercise more and eat less.

"Australian biotech group Metabolic Pharmaceuticals Ltd."

Let's pull for Australia. I feel that more of the worlds health issues will be fixed by Australians. The US medical complex is too corrupted now to do the job honestly anymore.

The Australians cured ulcers and it took the US another 10 years to acknowledge it and put the cure into practice. I feel that more and more breakthroughs will come from there.
