It is sometimes possible to spot the "coital blip" on the 30minute/ 24 hour tape. I was a little saddened to find it didn't show up on mine !

I'm not against alternative/natural remedies. My reservations are probably born out of the fact that I peddle enough rubbish, and I'm not keen on anyone else peddling more wares that aren't evidence based.

I do have some sympathy with the celery brigade- after all, there's no mileage in spending money on multi-centred, double blind, randomised control trials.

Unfortunately, before we can recommend things, we have to be fairly certain that the intervention makes a difference to the outcome. We have to, we're spending your money at the end of the day.

I reckon, on the scale of things, I'm fairly certain that a third of the stuff I dole out, the other third is dubious, the other third........
