    when i was in the army i took part in a clinical trial

    we were given 1500 miligrams of vitamins c pills every day, drank a glass of fresh oj with every meal

    the army wanted to test this kind of "mega vitamin" treatment for it's efficacy.

    well during that 3 month period, myself and the rest fo the guys in D company either didn't get the cold/flu or got it to a lesser extent

    we were not told what the aim of the test was only that we would be monitored. we didn't even know what the pills were. all we recognised was that we were being given pills and made to drink fresh oj.

    hene my plans to take plenty in future.

    theres more than just one doctor who has doubts abut tamifu, the side effects are truly bloody horrendous...a well established fact

    TAMIFLU: DANGEROUS AND INEFFECTIVE? Monday, December 26, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com If you think taking doses of Tamiflu will help to ward off the impending bird flu virus, you haven't been reading the papers lately. Word from several Asian countries shows that the Roche Pharmaceuticals product is not showing signs of curing those who have become flu-ridden, despite the intentions of the Bush Administration to allocate billions of dollars to stockpile the stuff. But now health investigator Patricia Doyle posts on rense.com an analysis of the potential side-effects from this medicine, which may make it even less appropriate for consumption. The list includes, in alphabetical order: aches and pains, allergic reactions (sometimes leading to shock), asthma and aggravation of pre-existing asthma, bronchitis, chest infection, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, diarrhea, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, ear infections and problems, erythema multiforme, headache, hepatitis, indigestion, liver problems, lymphadenopathy, nausea, nose bleed, rash or rashes, runny nose, sinusitis, Stevens Johnson syndrome, symptoms of a cold, tiredness, tummy pain, urticaria, and vomiting. Moreover, Doyle notes, those with major allergies should also probably avoid Tamiflu, since the capsules also contain the following ingredients: black iron oxide (E172); croscarmellose sodium; FD and C blue 2 (indigo carmine, E132); gelatin; oseltamivir; povidone; pregelatinised maize starch; red iron oxide (E172); shellac; sodium stearyl fumarate; talc; titanium dioxide (E171); yellow iron oxide (E172). The oral suspension liquid, meanwhile, contains: oseltamivir; saccharin sodium (E954); sodium benzoate (E211); sodium dihydrogen citrate (E331 (a)); sorbitol (E420); titanium dioxide (E171); tutti frutti flavor; maltodextrins (maize); propylene glycol; Arabic gum (E414); natural identical flavoring substances (mainly consisting of banana, pineapple and peach flavor); and xantham gum (E415). She also lists several medicines that may have adverse affects while interacting with Tamiflu, including Chlorpropamide, Methotrexate, and Phenylbutazone. The bottom line seems to be that, in addition to there being no evidence yet that Tamiflu will actually stop the avian flu from killing you, should you actually contract it ... there seem to be at least as many reasons for not taking it, anyway.

    âoeFDA, Roche warn doctors on Tamiflu dangers,â declared a bold news headline this week from the major Reuters news service. Roche warned doctors about their Tamiflu drug in a recent letter of âoesome cases resulting in fatal outcomesâ. In plain English that means there are people dying linked to use of their drug. This is old news to those in Japan where such warnings have been given since 2005. The FDA at that time asserted Tamiflu was safe and did not require any warning in America noting âoewe cannot say definitively there is a causal relation between the drug and the childrenâ(TM)s deaths,â according to then FDA Deputy Commissioner Dr. Murray Lumpkin. That response parroted the statement days earlier from Roche (producer of the drug Tamiflu) âoethat a causal link cannot be establi

    yup i had swine flu too and felt shitty.

    one of the doctors at my surgery prescribed tamiflu and to be quite frank it made me feel worse than the damned flu did!

    upon return to the srgery for a folloow on check up it was one of the other doctors that saw me and his opinion on tamiflu was different to the one who presceribed it.

    this doctor said that tamiflu neither prevents nor cures any flu, never mind swine flu and if anything made matters worse.

    i can say nothing but agree with the guy. the stuff is nasty and i reckon just riding it out would have been the better option. i am however in of the "high risk" groups having been getting radiotherapy at the time(just finished the course)

    in future i'll not be bothering with tamiflu, i'll just be massively upping my vitamin C intake.

    SO ..... apart from NOT actually reading the spec or knowing the spec of the latter part of the N series, what is your major malfunction?

    Also ant reasonably minded person knows that a carrier "subsidy" isn't really a subsidy at all.... it's HIRE PURCHASE. the payments fr your phone are spread across the conbtract term. and thus buying your phone outright is always cheaper same as it is for buying anything upfront. i would even go sofar as to say like any other credit terms the purchase of the phone (not counting the line rental)generates a tidy profit in itself to the carriers.

    not hard to understand really.... as is someone saying "yeah this new product if GREAT and our next product will be an improvement on that!"

    it's not as if someone is gonna say "out stuff is shit and next up is even shittier"

    well i renewed my phone contract without a hardware upgrade as i didn't know what direction to go in as far as hardware upgrade.

    this mean that i got my monthly bill HALVED, so for 900 mins,unlimited texts and unlimited(haha) net access i get for £20 GBP per month with vodafone uk.

    all the networks ere, as far as i am aware will renew your contract without hardware at much cheaper rates, if that's not the case in the USA then yer getting even more humped than i thought you were.

    so the major flaw in your position is that you assume that people don't have pre-existing contracts
