Miracle wrinkle cream hypeTheres plenty of anti aging hype about! My friend asked me to check out a promising looking natural herbs site today. Well the first 'face lift in a bottle' type ad I clicked on had this priceless classic.. "Neutralizes free radicals to reduce the appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles". Who writes this claptrap?? You are supposed to infer that wrinkles are caused by naughty free radicals just sat around on top of your skin and if you sweep them away with a magic potion or broomstick or whatever, your wrinkles will vanish and that will be $99 please. Would someone mind telling me how neutralizing free radicals is supposed to remove existing wrinkles?? It is good to neutralize free radicals. They do no end of harm knocking electrons out of orbit and causing cellular replication errors, and thus, most likely, wrinkles and other issues - but the damage has been done by the time you see an actual wrinkle! Mopping up free radicals to cure wrinkles indeed! Prevent wrinkles Yes. Reduce wrinkles No. And you know, that potion most likely has useful ingredients really in it. I don't know. I didn't look. I'm not going to be buying stuff off someone who takes me for an idiot. You see it in the science here and there too - some lab will compare their product or device when used to excess with one treatment from a rival and pronounce theirs superior while hoping you won't notice. Thats not just wrinkle treatment they do that with. They do it with cancer treatments too. And your FDA lets them. If anything helps regress cancer and isn't chemo or radiotherapy and you mention that in public, you can be arrested. Cancer is big business and they will protect their own. Most people have absolutely no idea of how much the rich and powerful hate them. But how often do you hear the word 'citizen' and how often 'consumer'? Theres a clue right there. I sincerely hope that in learning how to cure your wrinkles you will actually get a taste for reading extracts and scientific papers too. The more you read the easier it gets. One day your ease with reading scientific research for yourself might save your life. It will certainly help you evaluate product claims. Science is a new religion. In the old days people used to look up to the Priestly classes - who interpreted the Word of God from a magic book because no-one else could read. You could be executed for owning your own bible! If a Priest said thats what God said, then thats what God said and you agreed with it or you got burned at the stake. And my, wasn't there a lot of fun to be had once people learned to read the magic book for themselves? I am hoping, that in the honorable pursuit of beauty, you will click through to the original extracts of the science I translated, see who did it, where, who funded it and how many innocent mice were tortured to produce it - that is - read the magic book for yourselves! On all kinds of medicine. If you find it hard going, just read the conclusions at the botttom at first, and you will soon get the hang of it. You need to do this. The last thing we need is the Media as a new Priestly Class interpreting the word of God, (or 'scientists' as he is known these days) to the primary benefit of our Lords and Masters yet again. We think what people put up with in the old days is ridiculous? No-one back then ever paid $250 000 to an oncologist who killed him by saying 'radiofrequency ablation is useless against all but liver cancer'. The people we pay to interpret science for us need watching like hawks. How to spot dangerous wrinkle treatments
