47. Uh thats NOT how drug tests work,,,
Clinical trials are more than just "pill is given to 1000 people and thousands of subjective conclusions are related by patients and reached by "scientists". There are actually complex testing done on the patients and animals that have been given the drug for both toxicity and potency. There is a test called ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay) that I do that measures the PRECISE amount of drug (down to mg/ml) in a patients system. There are also ELISA's that measure the amount of antibody to a drug (which can measure potential allergic reactions), or the amount of antibody to a given vaccine, also to the exact concentration in the blood stream. And trust me these researchers are REAL scientists.
Sounds to me that you, as an obvious non-scientist have NO CLUE about what science can and DOES do....
:eyes:
And thats not an opinion but facts from EXPERIENCE.
