This looks at the mechanism of action and as many readers would know, everything has a proposed mechanism of action.

In fact I have just broken a promise to myself to leave all comments up. However, your comment was simple advertising, and for a product completely unrelated to anything on my blog, so it has been deleted because it is irrelevant and distracting for my readers.Dr Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376469049519802493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193043695356712843.post-76345892255064293852012-08-22T21:37:30.632+10:002012-08-22T21:37:30.632+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00676327602973158822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193043695356712843.post-50323592925720331702012-08-08T18:03:53.404+10:002012-08-08T18:03:53.404+10:00Thank you for sharing the knowledge about knee pai...Thank you for sharing the knowledge about <a href="http://www.empowereddoctor.com/220/knee-osteoarthritis-treatment-nj/" rel="nofollow">knee pain </a>and osteoarthritis.

Consequently, I am paying health insurance premiums for this, chiropractic, osteopathy, tai chi, acupuncture, running shoes and massages, and that doesn't count the unnecessary and harmful surgery that I am also paying for.<br />The evidence for a new drug needs to be reasonably rigorous, although there are exceptions (and even withdrawals). Because surgical trials are considered unethical, you can pretty much do whatever operation you want without any real oversight. And I say that in all seriousness without exaggeration.Dr Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09376469049519802493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193043695356712843.post-50503649724022698842012-07-20T23:03:37.416+10:002012-07-20T23:03:37.416+10:00What's the process for Medicare (or private he...What's the process for Medicare (or private health insurance) funding for procedures like viscosupplementation?<br /><br />Does the evidence base need to be strongly in favour of a procedure before public (or private health insurance) funds are diverted towards it? Or would patients generally be paying privately out of pocket for viscosupplementation, based on 'recommendation' from their surgeon?Abhinavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061881888393096273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193043695356712843.post-14774242209679043682012-07-11T23:43:36.623+10:002012-07-11T23:43:36.623+10:00Thanks for the comment.
